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 conrse, but who desire to acquire a knowledge of those
12
SPICELAND ACADEMY.
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 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 member prepares an essay, oration or declamation, and the publie 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 . Grammatical Purity, Choice and Use of Words, and Kinds of Composition, with prae- tieal exereises 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 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. Thor- ough drill on the deelensions 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 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 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 Alumni. In Zoology and Botany animals and plants are sind- ied 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 use. Book-keeping and its practical phases of business pa- pers and all commercial forms, is taught, and a student is prepared te take charge of a set of books for a business firm.
NORMAL COURSE.
Special attention is paid to the training of teachers. To this end the first efforts
SPICELAND ACADEMY.

,
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 special normal classes are formed in all the le- gal branches, in the Science and Art of Teaching, Psychology, Physical Geography. Lectures are given on school organization, school management and the practical work of school teaching. A strong effort is made to infuse into those intending to teach the true teaching spirit. The true teacher must possess scholarship and skill. To show how snecessinl the Academy has been as a Normal School, it needs only to be stated that three-fourths of all our graduates have become teachers.

No deduction will be made for absence after enrollment, except in cases of pro- tracted ill-health. In event of sickness notice must, in all cases, be given of the with- drawal of the pupil, as no deduction will be made until this is done.
LITERARY EXERCISES.
Besides the work of the Literary Societies connected with the school, literary ex- ereises will be expected of students in all grades, both in class work and before the whole school. Care is used that students may learn the art of composition and public delivery. To this eml public exercises are frequently hehl to commemorate some anthor, or well-known historical event. Essays and declamations are a part of the regular school work.
LIBRARIES.
There are three Libraries in connection with the school, which contain about two thousand volumes; two of them belong to the Literary Societies and the other to the Academy Association. Additions are made each year.
BOARDING.
The cost of boarding and lodging during the past year has been about $3.00 per week. Rooms can he rented by those who desire to board themselves, and the cost re- duced to less than $1.75 per week, In a elnh the entire cust of boarding, room-rent, light and fuel can he reduced to $2.25 per week, or less, depending on the preference of members.
LOCATION.
The school is in the village of Spicelaud, which is situated on the F't. Wayne, Cin- cinnati & Louisville Railroad, and two and a half miles north of Dunreith, on the Chi- cago, St. Lonis & Pittsburgh Railroad.

tional and scientific subjects. The following lectures have been given the past year: Hon. Will Cumback "The Common Man."
Hon. D. P. Baldwin. "Personality."
Prof. W. A. Bell. "Growth."
Pres't J. J. Mills. ."Egypt."

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.
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.
Promations are never made on the ground of technical advancement alone, and examinations play a subordinate part in promoting students. Eraminations for promo- tions have been wholly abandoned. The pupil's grade and standing is determined from his general character as a student, his earnestness, his diligence, his attention to duty, his promptness in his work, and the mental power he displays. These are tested daily in class work as well as in frequent oral and written reviews. This method reveals from day to day what the pupil knows and how he knows it, relieving the teacher and pupil from the final examination to determine whether the promotion will be made, and best of all, it dispenses with the harmful "cramming" process.
In Arithmetic, Geography, Granovar and Algebra there are from three In five classes cach term, so that students can enter school at any time and be classed accord- ing 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 maintains a Sabbath school. A society of the Y. P. S. C. E. meets each Sabbath evening.
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.
There are no heer, liquor or billiard saloons in the village.
No student whose influence is known to have a corrupting tendency will be re- tained 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 President of the Board of Trustees.
