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 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.
