REMARKS ON COURSE OF STUDY.
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 pre- par ing students for college.
Classes will be formed in the Greek and German and French languages whenever a sufficient number desire to pursue those studies.
Penmanship, Reading and Composition will receive attention throughout the whole course of study.
At the elose of the winter terin the members of the second year High School class hold an exhibition, for which cach member prepares an essay, oration or declamation, and the public speakers are chosen from the number.
ENGLISH.
Besides the usual work in English Grammar, spceial 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 prac- tical exercises in cach. 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 on the declensions 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 foun- dation is laid in General History, English History, Civil Government and the Philosophy 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 Chem- istry students do practical work in the Laboratory, which is well supplied with chemicals and apparatus for the analysis of unknown substances. Geology and Mineralogy 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 classification are made prominent. In all the Sciences objects 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 nse. 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 hooks for a business firm.
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 hranches are formed each term, and during the spring term special review classes are organized in which the studies are taken np topiently 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 educa- tion. A strong effort is made to infuse into those intending to teach, the true teaching spirit. The true teacher must possess scholarship and skill. Toshow 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.

LOCATION.
The school is in the village of Spiceland, which is situated on the Ft. Wayne, Cin- cinnati & Louisville Railroad, and two and a half miles north of Dunreith, on the Chi- vago, St. Louis & Pittsburgh Railroad.
LECTURES.
Opportunity is offered to students, free of cost, of hearing good lectures on ednea- tional and scientific subjects. The following lectures have been given the past year.

ELDER J. HI. EDWARDS, "Anstralia."

PROF. S. S. PARK, "Fifty Days in London."

GENERAL ITEMS.
As an aid to pupils in the preparation of their lessons, dictionaries, cyclopedias and other books of reference are placed in the school room and are free to all. Also, the leading magazines and newspapers are furnished for the use of the students.
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- aat factors in the formation of character. Greater stress is laid npon thoroughness of instruction and accuracy of knowledge than mpon rapidity of advancement.
In Arithmetic, Geography, Grammar and Algebra there are from three to five classes cach term, so that students can enter school at any time and he classed according to advancement.
For many years the health of the students has been uniformly good. There is prob- ably no healthier locality in the State.
The Friends and Methodists both hold religious services on the Sabbath, and each maintains a Sabboth school.
A sufficient number of teachers is constantly employed, so that large classes may be avoided, and students may receive personal attention during 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. Sidents are required to keep sindy bours during the evening.' . There are no beer, liquor or billiard saloons in the village.
No student whose infinenee is known to have a corrupting tendency will be retained in the school.
DIPLOMA.
Students whose condnet is exemplary and who complete the course of study and prepare and deliver a snitable literary production, will be furnished with a Diploma, signed by the instructors and the President of the Board of Trustees.
