GENERAL EXPENSES.
Based on an estimate for boarding at $2.91 per week, and (with ten per cent. off to yearly patrons, boarding net $2.62 per week) all other expenses at correspondingly low rates, the total estimate is as follows: Boarding, private furnished rooms warmed and lighted, washing and ironing (nine pieces per week), tuition in entire English Course, with the privilege of Latin and incidentals, all for:
Fall term of 15-37 year (longest term of year), from $92 to $1.36.
The difference in rates depends on the room occupied; all are pleasant and well furnished, but differ in size, location and accommodations.
Winter term 12-37 year, from $73 to $84.
Spring term 10-37 year, from $61 to $70.
Total gross expenses per year, $226 to $260.
From this for yearly patrons ten per cent. is deducted, which gives net $205.40 to $234 per year.
Many pupils come to the Seminary for the study of music alone; some for music and painting, and some for art alone. To such, a deduction of $30 per year from the above yearly rates is made.
