PRINCIPLES OF DISCIPLINE

(Section VIII Rules 56)

                  Heads of schools shall see that the principles of discipline are properly observed. Regularity and implict obedience should be insisted upon, politeness and courtesy in speech and conduct, as well as cleanliness of dress should be inculcated.
