Object of School The object sought is the all around development of the Christian Character. In order to accomplish this we endeavor to surround our students with a favorable environ- ment. Everything is done to encourage the development of the physical, mental, and spiritual powers of each student.

Seven dollars and fifty cents will be added to the first month to cover all fees for the year, making a total initial payment of 537.00 for the dormitory student. The 5? discount for cash does not apply on entrance fees. The tuition for resident students will be 59.50 per school month. The 57.50 fee mentioned above will make their initial payment total 517.00. These rates cover full class work of four subjects. A fifth subject will call for 52.00 per month extra. The dormitory student will be asked to pay 537.00 when he enters school, the village student, 517.00. So far as practical purposes are concerned, that arrangement calls for advance payment for the first month, with 57.50 added for fees, each succeed- ing month payable in advance. The 57.50 is for library, lecture course fees, physical education, and general expenses in registering a student in school. No refund is made on this 57.50, even though the student leaves before the end of the year. A breakage fund will be created by charging a 51.00 fee to each student which will be proportionately refunded at the end of the year. S1721 discount will be allowed on tuition accounts if paid in advance. The plan has proved to be a decided help to patrons, as well as to the school. It furnishes the school administration with money on which to operate for the first month. Meals will be served on the American plan. As a whole, parents and students prefer this plan, for it enables them to figure in advance, with reasonable accuracy, just what the cost will be for the whole year. Besides this, there are added values in cultural, eco- nomic and dietary lines. Students who enter school late, but make up back work and receive credit, will be charged full tuition from the beginning of the year. No reduction is made on expenses for an absence of less than two weeks. Yakima Valley Academy attempts to operate on a cash basis, and, of course, we can do this only as patrons pay promptly. This, we are glad to state, has been done during the past year, with few exceptions. If students are educated to honor and pay their bills while in school they will carry with them, out of school, a most valuable training in finance. Statements are issued each month. Of course, prompt remittance is in order, but ten days are allowed for settlement, or special arrangement.

Students will not be allowed to draw money on their account, unless arrangements are made by the parents. The charge for one or two studies will be one-half and three fourths, respectively, of the charge for the full grade in which studies are taken. The charge for three studies is the same as full work. For five studies 52.00 extra is charged. Labor Can I work my way through school?', is a question often asked. It is hardly pos- sible by working only nine school monthsg but some are decidedly successful by working twelve months. Let the student make the most of his time during the summer months. Owing to the large amount of work needed to keep our institution in order and our industries running we can offer a certain amount of work to students who desire it. A reasonable amount of credit may be earned, depending upon the nature of the work and the manner in which it is done. The amount paid per hour for work depends upon the dependability and eiiiciency of the student working. The student is observed during the month by the labor super- intendent in charge of the department in which the student is working and at the end of the month the work is graded on a basis of efficiency and dependability. There is some work which is done by contract of a certain number of hours per month. This work will also be graded at the end of each month on the same basis as the regular hour work. Music Rates The monthly rates for private lessons are as follows: Piano, one lesson a week ,,,,,,, ..,,, 33 3.00 Piano rental, one hour each Voice, one lesson a week ,t,,,, ,,,,. ,.t,., S 3 .00 day for a school month ,,,,,,,,. .,., S 1.00 Music students are not allowed to drop their work during the month. Charges will be made on a monthly basis, without refunds whatsoever. Lessons missed on account of illness may be made up by special arrangements with the instructor. Our excellent music department deserves special mention. Strong courses are offered in piano and voice. We also have an orchestra, and a large chorus. Directing classes are also formed.

Room Reservations Some students desire to have certain rooms so the following plan will be carried out in regard to room reservations: A deposit of 55.00 cash will be required of each one to occupy the room. This will apply on the account for the following year, and may be refunded at any time before September 14, 1939. Students now occupying the room will have preference until June 15, 1939. The account for the previous year must be paid in full besides the deposit to reserve a room. A room not to be occupied by the same students the following year may be reserved by
