I. The Asylum will provide for each pupil, board, lodging and washing; the continual superintendence of health, conduct, manners and morals; fuel, candles, stationary and other incidental expenses of the school room, for which, including tuition, there will be an annual charge of one hundred and fifteen dollars.

II. In case of sickness, the necessary extra charges will be made.

III. No pupil will be received for a less term than two years, and no deduction from the above charge will be made on account of vacations or absence, except in case of sickness.

IV. Payments are always to be made one quarter in advance, for such pupils as reside within this State, and six months in advance for such as come from other states; for the punctual fulfilment of which, and the continuance of the pupil for two years, except in case of sickness or dismission by the Directors, a satisfactory bond will be required.

V. Each person, applying for admission, must not be under ten or over thirty years of age; of good natural intellect; capable of forming and joining letters with a pen legibly and correctly; free from any immoralities of conduct, and from any contagious disease. A satisfactory certificate of such qualifications will be required.

BY ORDER Of the directors,

MASON F. COGSWELL, } Committee.

JAMES H. WELLS,

Vacations begin on the last Wednesdays in April and September, and continue, each, four weeks. The time of admitting pupils is at the close of the spring vacation. Punctuality in this re spect, is very important; as it cannot be expected, that the progress of a whole class should be retarded on account of a pupil who joins it after its formation. Such a pupil must suffer the inconvenience and the loss.

It is earnestly recommended to the friends of the Deaf and Dumb, to have them taught how to write a fair and legible hand before they come to the Asylum. This can easily be done, and it prepares them to make greater and more rapid improvement.
