PROHIBITION OF CREDIT.

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