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.
