PROHIBITION OF CREDIT.

An Act of the Legislature prohibits merchants and others, under severe penalties, from
crediting students. The license to contract debts, which the Chairman is authorized to
grant, is limited (except when the parent or guardian requests otherwise in writing) to cases
of urgent necessity; and these, it is hoped, parents and guardians will prevent, as far as
possible, by a timely supply of the requisite funds.
