Occasional absence, even with consent of the instructor, 

 want of punctuality, inattention, &c., are punished by 

 deductions from the numerical value attached to the 

 attendance required in order to obtain a diploma at the 

 close of the course ; disobedience, insubordination, &c., are 

 punished by expulsion, or suspension till the decision of 

 the Government is obtained.

 work of practical forestry ; but, as has been intimated, there 

 is provision for this being done where it may be desired,

 guidance of one or other of the professors, in the course of 

 the curriculum. On these excursions their travelling 

 expenses are met from the funds of the school, with an 

 allowance of 10 reals, or about 2s a day, and the professor 

 in charge has an allowance of 25 reals, a little more than 

 5s, for provisions.
