The above is paragraph from a cata-
log issued by Indiana Asbury Uni

copy of which has just been received
by Robert L. OHair. president of the
Central National Bank of this city, from

members OF the faculty of the institution
Of that time along with names of 295
students are contained in the catalogue,

Under the head Of "Incidental Elk
penses," the catalogue contains a state
ment which seems unreasonable in the
light Of present day student expendi-
lures. 1t says: Each student may need
about 81 year for society fees and for
voluntary contributions for public pur-
poses. The amount necessary FOR cloth
ing and travelling expenses varies so
much, according to the habit Of each stu
dent, that no general estimate can be
made"
Referring to student fees, the cata
log goes on to say: "The tuition in
the collegiate and scientific departments
is IS a term and in the preparatory de
partment 1915 4 term. The janitor fee
designed to meet the expense Of fuel for
the recitation room, the ringing Of the
bell sweeping Of the halls aud keeping the
building in repair, is 81 per term. The
fees must be settled at the. beginning of
each term. The faculty is prohibited
from admitting any student to recitation
until the fees are PAID
one of the last comments made in the
catalog is as follows: "Al absences Of
each student from recitation, prayers and
church. with his average rs a scholar in
each recitation are recorded every week
in a book prepared for that purpose. At
the end Of each term and at other times,
II desired, an abstract of this record will

Margaret frowned

on determinedly. 1T takes people long
time to understand him, but he's one of
the best men in the world, really"
Ninette had taken of her bat and was
smoothing her hair. Suddenly she asked
question:

plea SCI"
Margaret Delay hesitated; then she
laughed nervously.

you now. Her name IS Dorothy Alanvere.
She came quite unexpectedly yesterday.
I should have put her off II ! could, but
there wasn't q chance She just arrived

Ninette turned around, Ter dark eyes
