Via ac ratio scholae illustrium d.d. Rhaetorum qui nomine Trium Foederum nuncupantur

The most convenient time for the Examination appears to be December, namely on the days immediately preceding the birth of the Lord, so that the boys may finish their tasks with the year and have something to occupy them during the autumn holidays. Finally, the teachers shall institute repetitions during the time that intervenes between autumn and the examination, and they shall dictate a theme to the boys for promotion, which all shall translate into Latin on the spot, without consulting any authors, so that, with the responses of the Examination combined, it may be judged who is worthy of promotion.

On vacations.

Finally, since (as the poet says) that which lacks alternating rest is not durable, workdays shall be followed by vacations. In addition to the two half-days of Repetitions in the week, the Nativity of the Lord, the Feast of Easter, Pentecost, and the Dedication festival shall be free from labors to restore the strength of the entire year.

The entire School shall also observe holidays for three weeks during the autumn season.
