REMARKS ON COURSE OF STUDY.
The above course of sounds has been proposed with reference to these students who
-

SPICELAND ACADEMY.
do not expect tu parsne a college conrse, Unt who desire to acquire a knowledge of those branches which will fit them for active life. Special attention, however, is given to pre- paring students for college.
Classes will be formed in the Greek and German and French languages whenever a snlficient number desire to pursue those studies.
Penmanship, Reading and Composition will receive attention throughout the whole course of study.
At the close of the winter term the members of the second year High School class hold au exhibition, for which each member prepares an essay, oration or declamation, and the public speakers are chosen from the number.
ENGLISHL.
Besides the usual work in English Grammar, special attention is paid to English Composition, which is preparatory to the work in Rhetoric. This consists of a study of Grammatical Purity, Choice and Use of Words, and Kinds of Composition, with practi- cal exercises in each. English Literature receives careful attention. The work consists of a brief history of the rise and growth of the English language, a history of the lives and times of the leading authors, and a critical study of selections from their writings. The aim is to create a taste for good literature.
LATIN.
In order to receive a diploma a student must have at least two years work in Latin, or in special cases, equivalents may be taken to fit the student for college. Thorough drill an the declension of nouns and adjectives and the conjugations of verbs, is given, also on the application of the rules of construction. The derivation of English words is studied, and in the advanced work exercises in sight-reading are given. The intention is to make this study practical as well as disciplinary.
HISTORY.
Besides the work in United States History in the (Grammar School, a thorough foundation is laid in General History, English History, Civil Government and the Phil- osophy of History. This course will open up to the student the deeds of mankind in all ages in their struggle for rational freedom, -
SCIENCE.
The Academy is supplied with sufficient apparatus to be a valuable aid in the study , of the Natural Sciences. In Natural Philosophy the subject is illustrated by many simple pieces of apparatus, besides an air pump, electrical machine, batteries, etc. In Chemistry students do practical work in the Laboratory, which is well supplied with chemicals and apparatus for the analysis of unknown substances. Geology and Miner- alogy are illustrated by a collection of more than twelve hundred specimens presented to the Academy by the Alunni. In Zoology and Botany animals and plants are studied from nature, and systems of classification are made prominent. In all the sciences ob- jeets are studied as much as possible.
MATHEMATICS,
In this study practical problems are given as much as possible, and especially is this done in Geometry. The students have the use of a surveyor's compass and chain, and learn their practical use. Book-keeping and its practical phases of business papers and all commercial forms, is taught, and'a student is prepared to take charge of a set of books for a Imusiness lirm.
NORMAL COURSE.
Special attention is paid to the training of teachers. To this and the first ellerts will be directed toward securing a thorough and accurate knowledge. Classes in all the legal branches are formed each term, and during the spring term special review classes are organized in which the studies are taken up topically and methods of instruction are discussed. During the spring term instruction is given in the science and art of
SPICELAND ACADEMY.
teaching, school organization, school management and the history and philosophy of edneation. A strong effort is made to infuse into those intending to teach the true teaching spirit. The true teacher mmst possess scholarship and skill. To show how sue- cessful the Academy has been as a Nominal School, it needs only to be stated that three- fourths of all our graduates have become teachers.
