SPICELAND ACADEMY.
Lectures.
Lectures are frequently given by the teachers, and opportunities are also afforded for hearing distinguished lecturers from abroad.
Apparatus and Cabinet.
The Academy is supphed with sufficient apparatus to be a valuable aid in studying the Natural Sciences ; also a Geological Cabinet, containing many valuable speeinens. During the past year the latter has been enlarged by the addition of a valuable collection of over twelve hundred specimens. purchased and presented to the Academy by its alumni.

Location.
The school is in the village of Spiceland, Henry county, Indiana. Dunreith, two and a half miles distant, on the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St. Louis R. W., is the nearest railway station. A hack meets the trains three times each day at Dunreith, and once at New Castle.
General Items.
The government of the school is based upon the idea that manhood is more than scholar- w/up, and that self-respect and self-control, on the part of the student, are important factors in the formation of character. Greater stress is laid upon thoroughness of instruction and accuracy of knowledge, toan npon rapidity of advancement
In Arithmetic, Grammar. Geography. Algebra and Latin, there are from three to five classes each, so that students can enter school at any time and be classed according to their advancement.
For many years the health of the students has been uniformly good. There is probably no healthier locality in the State.
The Friends and the Methodists both holl religions services on the Sabbath, and each main- tains a Sabbath school. The Young Men's Christian Association holds a meeting for worship one evening each week.
A sufficient mmunber of teachers is constantly employed, so that large classes may be avoid- ed, and students may receive personal attention during each recitation.
Expenses are as low as at any other school affording equal advantages.
The managers of the school are very careful to make this an institution in which students who are away from home and its restraints, will be surrounded by good, moral influences, and in this they have the co-operation of the citizens of the village.
Stude its are required to keep study hours during the evening.
There are no beer, liquor, or billiard saloons in the village.
The High School building has recently been enlarged, and much better accomodations ure furnished than formerly.
No student whose infinence is known to have a corrupting tendeney, will be retained in the school.
Diploma.
Students, whose couduet is exemplary, and who complete the course of study, will be fur- nished with a Diploma, signed by the Instructors and the President of the Board of Trustees

Remarks.
The above course of study has been prepared with reference to those students who do not expect to pursue a College course, but who desire to acquire a knowledge of those branches which will fit them for active life. Special attention, however. is given to preparing students for College.
Elocution and English Literature receive special attention : the latter consists of a brief history of the rise and growth of the English language, the history of the lives of the leading authors, and a critical study of parts of their works.
In the Latin and Greck languages, thorough drill on the declension of nouns and the conjugation of verbs, is given, and also on the application of the rules of construction. The amount of work in these languages will be the same as that required by the col- lege which students propose to enter.
Classes will be formed in the Greek. French and German languages, whenever a sufficient number shall desire to pursue those studies.
Penmanship. Reading and Composition will receive attention throughout the whole course of sindy.
Credit will be given for substituted studies, und sindents who are preparing for col-
