REMARKS ON COURSE OF STUDY. . The above course of study has been prepared with reference to three students who.

SPICELAND ACADEMY.
do not expect to pursne 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 pre- paring students for college
Classes will be formed in the Greek and German and French langnages whenever a sufficient 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 an exhibition, for which each menther prepares an essay, oration or declamation, and the public speakers are chosen from the number.
ENGLISH.
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 Grammat cal Purity, Choice and Use of Words, and Kinds of Composition, with prac- tical exercise in each. English Literature receives careful attention. The work con- sists of a brief history of the rise and growth of the English language, a history of the lives and times of the leading anthors, and a critical study of selections from their writing>. 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 on the deelension 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 fondation 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 apparais, 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 noknown substances. (icology and Miner- alogy are illustrated by a collection of more than twelve hundred specimens presented to the Academy by the Alumni. In Zoology and Botany animals and plants are studied from nature, and systems of class fication are made prominent. In all the Sciences objects are studied as much as possible.
MATHEMATICS.
In this study practical problemis 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 tanght, and a student is prepared to take charge of a set of books for a business lirm.
NORMAL COURSE.
Special attention is paid to the training of teachers. To this end the first efforts will be directed toward seenring a thorough and accurate knowledge. Classes in all the legal brauches are formed each terut, 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 teach- ing, school organization, school management and the history and philosophy of odnes-

tion. A strong effort is made to infuse into those intending to teach the true teaching spirit. The trne teacher must possess scholarship and skill. To show how successful the Academy has been as a Normal School, it needs only to be stated that three-fourths of all our graduates have become teachers.

LITERARY SOCIETIES.
There are three permanent Literary Societies connected with the school, the Lu- cernian, conducted by the ladies, and the Crescent and Glisco Societies, by the gentle- men. Literary organizations are also sustained by the Intermediate and Grammar School students. Care is taken to make students acquainted with the rules governing parliamentary bodies.
LIBRARIES.
There are three Libraries in connection with the school, which contain about two thousand volumes; two of them belonging to the Literary Societies and the other to the Academy Association. Additions are made each year.
BOARDING.
The cost of boarding and lodging the past year has been about $3.00 per week. Rooms can be rented by those who desire to board themselves, and the cost redneed to less than $1.75 per week. In a club the entire cost of boarding, room-rent, light and fuel can be reduced to $2.25 per week, or less, depending on the preference of members.
LOCATION.
The school is in the village of Spiceland, which is situated on the Fort Wayne, Cincinnati & Louisville Railroad, and two and a half miles north of Punreith, on the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railroad.

SPICELAND ACADEMY.
The government of the school is based upon the idea that manhood is more than scholarship, and that self-respect and self-control on the part of the student are import- ant factors in the formation of character. Greater stress is laid upon thoroughness of instruction and accuracy of knowledge than upon rapidity of advancement.
In Arithmetic, Grammar, Gicography and Algebra there are from three to tive classes cach term, so that students can enter school at any time and be classed according to 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 Methodists both hold religious services on the Sabbath, and each maintain a Sabbath school.
A sufficient number of teachers is constantly employed, so that large classes may be avoided, and students may receive personal attention during recitation.
Ex peuses are as low as al any other school affording equal advantages,
The managers of the school are very careful to make this an institution in which studedis 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. Students are required to keep study hours during the evening. There are no beer, liquor or billiard saloons in the village.
No student whose influence is known to have a corrupting tendency will be retained in the school.
DIPLOMA.
Students whose conduct is exemplary and who complete the course of study and prepare and deliver a suitable literary production, will be furnished with a Diploma, signed by the instructors and the Presidem of the Board of Trustees.
"It is what the child does for himself and by himself, under wise guidance, that educates him." -- Swerr.
