EDUCATION IN DAIRY FARMING, AND 



Pupils are bound implicitly to obey the teachers' instructions. 

 Should any pupil have any cause for complaint, he may take it 

 to the principal, who, on being required, is bound to lay the 

 matter before the management. In the case of disobedience or 

 misconduct, the teacher under whose notice it comes must give 

 the pupil due warning. Should this not prove sufficient, the 

 managing director is apprised, and in presence of the teacher 

 seriously reprimands the pupil, and warns him that a repetition 

 of the offence will be followed by expulsion. In case this has 

 finally to be resorted to, the fees for the unexpired portion of 

 the half-year are returned.
