YAKIMA VALLEY ACADEMY Yriiliiilllflflldl Xfdliiiitby ACQJCMBY Cdliifellllfliidllf' The Purpose of the Academy The object of the school is to train workers for the cause of God. All persons of good moral character without regard to religious exeprience or belief are admitted to its classes on equal terms. The only requirements are that all cheerfully comply with the regulations of the school. For Parents It sometimes happens that children make complaints to their parents concerning school matters in which they feel they are misused. Parents are asked to notify the management in matters of this kind, and withhold their judgment until proper investi- gation can be made. A little carefulness along these lines often prevents unhappy consequences. Rather than to send much spendnig money to your children for them to spend unwisely, it is better to place it in thc business ofiice to be given them as they need it. If it is your wish that your children be allowed to draw any money from the bus- iness oiiice on your deposits, be sure to notify the ofiice to that effect. Encourage your children to make as few trips home as possible aside from the regular vacations. Every diversion of any kind detracts from successful school work. When you send your boy or girl to us, if there are habits or traits of character which need special watching, it would be of great advantage to us of you would ac- quaint the management with the matter, that we may be of the greatest assistance possible. Who Admitted to the Academy. The school is open to all worthy persons of either sex who come for the purpose of doing earnest, faithful work.. Those who have little to study, who are careless in their deportment, who are addicted to the use of tobacco or liquors, who use profane language, or indulge in card playing and improper associations, will not knowingly be admitted or retained. Harmful literature, including books and magazines of fiction and cheap and popular music, will not be allowed in the homes. Whether students make a profession of religion or not, all will be expected to give due respect to the Word of God, and to observe the regulations of the institution. Candidates for admis- sion who are strangers to the faculty will be required to furnish testimonials as to moral character. The Students Pledge It is distinctly understood that every student who presents himself for admission to the Academy thereby pledges himself to observe all its regulations. If this pledge is broken, it is also understood that by such infraction he forfeits membership, and if longer retained, it is only by the forbearance of the board and faculty. It is also a part of the student's contract that he will, to the best of his ability, perform all duties assigned to him in connecion with the school and the home. 29
