In the normal course it is not intended to conduct a scheme of cramming . for examination but it is our intention to help teachers in their schools quite as much to aid them to get licenses.
The addition to work in the Normal department will in no way interfere with the regular Academic Course. Work will be so arranged that students who desire to take part Academic work and part Normal work will be con- veniently accommodated.
Prof G. W. Neet, the Superintendent of the Academy for 1896-7, is a graduate of the Indiana State Normal, has had the advantage of a course of instruction in Indiana University, is well experienced in Public and High School Work, and also in Normal Institute work. He will be aided in this de- partinent by an able assistant so that we can confidently recommend the 'ad. vantages which Spiceland offers to all students who desire to fit themselves for teaching.
RATES OF TUITION.
Grammar school, 75 cents per week. High school - first year, 20 cents per week per subject. High school -- second year, 22/2 cents per week per subject. High school - third year, 3312 cents per week per subject. Normal
and Review classes. $1.00. Commercial department, $1.00.
Tuition is due at the opening of cach term, and settlement must be made with either the treasurer or superintendent, before students may enter upon their term's work. No deduction will be made for absence after enrollment, except in cases of protracted ill health, In event of sickness notice must, in all cases, be given of the withdrawal of the pupil, as no deduction will be made until this is done.
LITERARY EXERCISES
Besides the work of the Literary Society connected with the school, liter- ary exercises 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 end, public exercises are occa- sionally held to commemorate some author or well known historical event. Essays and declamation area a part of the regular school work.
LIBRARIES.
Four sets of Encyclopedias are in the school rooms, and these with the Dictionaries and numerous reference books are for the free use of all. 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 citizens of Spiceland have always given the students a hearty wel- come by receiving them in their homes. It is the intention to offer students the advantage of a thorough education for a small outlay of money. The cost of boarding when everything is furnished is $3.00 a week. Rooms either furnished or unfurnished can be rented by those who board them- selves, and the cost of living reduced to a small sum.
LECTURES.
Students have the opportunity to hear good lectures at a small expense. Lectures on various subjects are given throughout the year by able lectur- ers. Arrangements are made by which such lectures are practically free to students.
GENERAL ITEMS
The government of the school is based upon the idea that manhood is more than scholarship, 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 the thoroughness of instruction and accuracy of knowledge than upon rapidity of advancement.
A daily class record of the work of each pupil is kept. This record and the final examination determine the recorded grade. Students whose daily class work is 95 per cent., with attendance, application and deportment.

equally good, may be excused from examination.
For many years the health of students has been uniformly good. There is probably no healthier locality in the state.
The Friends and Methodists both hold religions services on the Sabbath and each maintains a Sabbath school. A society of Y. P. S. C. E. meets each Sabbath evening, and students are welcomed to its meetings.
A sufficient number of teachers is constantly employed, so that large classes may be avoided, and students may receive personal attention during the 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 institute in which students who are away from home and its restraints, will be sur- rounded by good, moral influence, and in this they have the co-operation of the citizens of the village.
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. 1
DIPLOMA.
Students whose conduct is exemplary, and who complete the course of study and prepare and deliver a suitable literary production, will be fur- nished a diploma, signed by the instructors and the president of the board trustees.

SPICELAND ACADEMY.
HISTORY.
S PICELAND ACADEMY is the oldest Academy in charge of Friends in Indiana. It was char- tered as an Academy in 1870 but its history as a Friends school is much older than this, dating back for more than sixty years. It is under the control of Spiceland Monthly Meeting, by which body the board of trustees is appointed. The teachers are selected While the school is under denomi-
by the trustees.
national control, it is not sectarian in the least; its foundation rests upon Christian culture. The first class was graduated in 1870, and 176 have received diplomas from the Academy. More than 3,000 stu- dents have received instruction in the school since its organization as an Academy.
LOCATION.
Spiceland Academy is located in the beautiful and flourishing town of Spiceland, Indiana, in the south- ern part of Henry county, on the L. E. & W. Rail- road, two miles north of Dumreith, on the Pennsyl- vania Railroad. The buildings are situated in the midst of a beautiful grove, adjoining which is a large campus, well fitted for the various sports engaged in by the students.
ENTRANCE.
Students may enter at any time, but students com- ing from other schools are required to bring certifi. cates stating their literary and moral standing. In the absence of approved certificate, examinations will be held and students classified accordingly.

REMARKS ON THE COURSE OF STUDY.
H IGHER classes in any of the work will be formed whenever there is sufficient demand, and tuition will be charged at the same rate as for a third year study. Satisfactory work in those studies may be substituted for work in the regular course at the dis- cretion of the Superintendent
The above course of study has been prepared with reference to the needs of those students who do not expect to pursue a college course, but 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, and third year work in Latin, Mathematics and other subjects will be given when a sufficient number of pupils desire it. Students are urged to take a college course, and they will be admitted to any of the lead- ing colleges in Indiana without examination.
The course of study in the Grammar School is in harmony with that adopted throughout the state.
At the close of the winter term the members of the second high school elass hold an exhibition, for which each member prepares an essay, oration or declama- tion. 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 grammatical purity, choice and use of words, and kinds of composition, with practical exercises in each. English and American Literature receive careful attention.
The work consists of a brief history of the rise and growth of the English language, 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 three years' work in Latin, or, in special cases equiva- lents may be taken to fit the student for college. Thorough drill on the declension of nouns, adjectives and the conjugation of verbs is given, also on the application of the rules of construction and the ac- quiring of a considerable vocabulary. The derivation of English words is studied, and in the advance work exercises in sight reading and Latin composition are given. It is the purpose to invest all the work in Latin with a living spirit that it may be a means of genuine literary culture as well as of mental discipline.
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 Political Economy. 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 ap paratns to be a valuable aid in the study of Natural sciences. In Natural Philosophy the subject is il- lustrated by many simple pieces of apparatus, besides the air pump, electrical machine, batteries, etc. In chemistry students do practical work in the labora-
8
tory. which is well supplied with chemicals and ap- paratus for the analysis of unknown substances. Geology and Minerology 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 classifications are made prominent. In all the sciences objects are used as much as possible.
1 MATHEMATICS.
The aim in this study is to introduce the student to mathematical methods and to develop in him the power to reason clearly and accurately on any given problem. Algebra is studied throughout the first year of the High School, Geometry during the second year. A great deal of supplementary work is given in Alge- bra and original exercises are introduced as much as possible in Geometry. Astronomy is studied during the winter term of the third year. In this subject the work is largely descriptive. A good six-inch telescope belongs to the Academy to aid in this study.
NORMAL DEPARTMENT.
For several years past special arrangements have been made to give those students desiring to teach the opportunity of Normal instruction during the Spring term. A special Normal instructor has been employed and many students of this and adjoin- ing counties have availed themselves of its advantages.
The increasing demand for Normal work and for a more extended course than can be given during the Spring term has induced the board to add a Normal department that provides for a full year's work of three terms as follows:

Phy slology
2d Geography
In the Fall term classes will be organized with the view of continuing the work throughout the year. Classes will be provided for those who have already done one term's Normal work During the winter terin, both classes having started in the fall, will ad- vance to the next work in the course. In the Spring term classes will be provided for those beginning the Normal work, and for those who have done one term's work, and for those ready for the third term's work. It is thus seen that all the legal branches, Psychology and Method may be had in the spring term.
Inspection of the following schedule of classes will reveal the arrangement of the work throughout the year:

It is not the purpose of High Schools to give students a teacher's knowledge of the legal branches. It, however, is known that many high school grad- uates desire to teach for a period of time. This course of Normal work is especially fitted for this class of students, and for students having graduated from
10
Common Schools, who wish to get more comprehen- sive knowledge of the legal branches, and learn correct methods of teaching them. Sufficient Psychology, Pedagogy and Method will be given to make work characteristically professional. The purpose of this department cannot be better stated than by saying it is to give students a teacher's knowledge of the legal branches, Psychology and Method.
In the Normal course it is not intended to conduct a scheme of cramming for examination, but it is our intention to help teachers in their schools quite as much as to aid them to get licenses.
The addition to work in the Normal department will in no way interfere with the regular Academic course. Work will be so arranged that students who desire to take part Academic work and part Normal work will be conveniently accommodated.
Prof. G. W. Nect. the Superintendent of the Academy for 1897-8. is a graduate of the Indiana State Normal, has had the advantage of a course of instruction in Indiana University, is well experienced in Public and High School work, and also in Normal institute work. He will be aided in this department by an able assistant, so that we can confidently rec- ommend the advantages which Spiceland offers to all students who desire to fit themselves for teaching.

Tuition is due at opening of each term, and. settle- ment must be made with either the treasurer or superintendent, before students may enter npon their term's work. No deduction will be made for absence after enrollment, except in cases of protracted ill health. In event of sickness notice must, in all cases, be given of the withdrawal of the pupil. as no deduc- tion will be made until this is done.
LITERARY EXERCISES.
Besides the work of the Literary Society connected with the school, literary exercises 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 end, public exercises are occasionally held to com- memorate some author or well known historical event. Essays and declamations are a part of the regular school work.
