ABSENCE.
12. Punctuality in returning to School is strictly required. A boy is liable to a fine of one shilling for each day's absence unless a medical certificate has been previously forwarded. These fines go to the Boys' Library. In cases of prolonged absence from illness, a payment of a half-a-guinea for each half term is required in order that a boy's bed may be reserved for him.
REMOVAL.
13. A term's notice to the Head Master in writing, or the payment of a half-term's School dues, is strictly required before the removal of a boy.
CLOTHING AND MISCELLANEOUS.
14. (i.) Every boy should bring a Bible and Prayer Book for School use, and a slate; also a play-box, not exceeding 20 inches in length, 12 in width, and 9 in height, with lock. Clothes boxes must be of moderate size, with the boy's name on a stout label attached to the key.
(ii.) All necessary articles of clothing must be supplied from home. No boy should have less than the following:

(xi.) If parents live abroad, the name of some person in England must be given who will stand in the parent's place to the boy, and be responsible for the payments.
SERVITORS' SCHOOL.
15. In the Servitor's School a certain number of boys above the eleven years of age are received, who assist in the household work, and are instructed in school daily. The Terms are £5 a year, or £1 13s. 4d. a term, for the School Dues. The Servitors are also charged half the cost of any things they may break through carelessness. The College provides each Servitor with a tunic and cap, and an apron for his work.
