REGULATIONS ABOUT DEBTS OF PUPILS.
NOTICE.
As the Episcopal School of North Carolina is now opened for the reception of pupils, the School Committee beg leave to call the attention of the public to the following extract from the Prospectus published in January last, viz.
"No student shall be allowed to have an account at any Store, or other place in the City; or to purchase any article (except with his pocket money)- without the permission of the Rector. Every Student, previous to his admission into the School, will be required to pay into the hands of the Treasurer, all the funds, of every description, which he may have, and likewise to pay over all other funds, which he may receive during the Session; for which the Treasurer's receipt will be given. Stated allowances for pocket money will be given to each Student, under such regulations as the Rector may prescribe. And it is desired that these allowances may be as small and as nearly alike for all the Students, as practicable. At the end of the Session, an account will be rendered to the Parent or Guardian of each Student; stating the amount of money paid to the Treasurer by the Student— the allowance made to him for pocket money—the amount of his expenses at the School during the Session, and the sum, if any, refunded to him at the close of the Session. Any evasion on the part of a student, in complying with the true spirit and meaning of this regulation, will be particularly noticed, even to his dismission, if necessary, from the School."
To secure a strict observance of the above provision, the committee have resolved that no account of any description made with a student belonging to the Episcopal School, either in Term time or during vacation, without a written order from the Rector, shall be paid, and that in case the parent or guardian of any student shall pay such account, the student shall be immediately dismissed from the School.
