LIBRARIES.
Four sets of encyclopedias are in the school rooms, and these with the dictionaries and numerous refer- ence books are for the free use of all. There are three libraries in connection with the school, which contains about two thousand volumes; two of them belonging to the Literary Society and the other to the Academy Association. Additions are made each year.
BOARDING.
The citizens of Spiceland have always given the students a hearty welcome by receiving them in their homes. It is the intention to offer students the ad- vantages of a thorough education for a small outlay of money. The cost of boarding when everything is
12
furnished is $3.00 a week. Rooms either furnished or unfurnished can be rented by those who board themselves, 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 lecturers. Ar- rangements 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 in- struction 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 de- termine the recorded grade. Students whose daily class work is 95 per cent., with attendance, applica- tion 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 location 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 welcome to its meetings.
A sufficient number of teachers is constantly em-
13
ployed, 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 afford- ing 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 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.
DIPLOMA.
Students whose conduet is exemplary, and who . complete the course of study and prepare and deliver a suitable literary production, will be furnished a diploma, signed by the instructors and the president of the board of trustees.

SPICELAND ACADEMY.
HISTORY.
sixty years. 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 extends over a period of more than It is under the control of Spiceland Monthly Meeting, by which body the board of trus- tees is appointed. The teachers are selected by the trus tees. While the school is under denominational control, it is not sectarian in the least; its foundation rests upon Christian culture. The first class was graduated in 1870, and 189 have received diplomas from the Academy. More than 3,000 students have received instruction in the school since its organiza- tion as an Academy.
LOCATION.
Spiceland Academy is located in the beautiful town of Spiceland, Indiana, in the southern part of Henry county, on the Lake Erie and Western Railroad, two miles north of Dunreith, on the Pennsylvania Rail- road. The buildings are situated in the midst of a beautiful grove, adjoining which is a large campus, well adapted to athletic sports.
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. the absence of approved certificate, examinations will be held and students classified accordingly. Classes in Grammar School branches are maintained

HISTORY.
A thorough foundation is laid in General History, English History, Civil Government and Political Economy. It is the purpose of this course to reveal the various steps by which the great institutions have, developed and grown from carly times until the present.
SCIENCE.
The Academy is supplied with sufficient apparatus to be a valuable aid in the study of Natural sciences. In Natural Philosophy the subject is illustrated by many simple pieces of apparatus, besides the air pump, electrical machine, batteries, etc. In chemis- try students do practical work in the laboratory, which is supplied with necessary chemicals and ap- paratus. Geology and Mineralogy are illustrated by a collection of more than twelve hundred specimens, presented to the Academy by the Alumni. In Zo- ology and Botany, animals and plants are studied from nature, and systems of classifications are made promi. nent. In all the sciences objects are used as much as possible.
MATHEMATICS.
The aim in this study is to introduce the student to mathametical methods and to develop in him the power to reason clearly and acenrately 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 Algebra and original exercises are introduced as much as possible in Geometry. Astronomy is studied dur- ing the winter terin of the third year. In this sub-
9
ject 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 adjoining counties have availed themselves of this oppor- tunity.
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:
ťAll. TimM
Ist Grammar
Ist Arithmetic Ist U.S. Itistory
Psychology
WINTER TERM
Adt Grammar
2d Arithmetic 2it U. S. History 1st Geography
SPRING TERM
Method
Reading
Physiology
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 term, 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 1erm.
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. However, it 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 Common Schools, who wish to get a 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 mnuch 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 accommodated.

Tuition is due at opening of each term, and settle- ment 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 all cases of illness notice must be given of the withdrawal of the pupil, as no deduc- tion will be made until this is done.
LITERARY EXERCISES.
Literary exercises will be expected of students in all grades. both in class work and before the public. Care is used that students may learn the art of com- position and public delivery, To this end. exercises are occasionally held to commemorate some author or well known historical event. Essays and decla- mations are a part of the regular school work.
LIBRARIES.
Four sets of encyclopedias are in the school rooms, and these, with the dictionaries and numerous refer- enee books, are for the free use of all. There are three libraries in connection with the school, which comprise about two thousand volumes; two of them belonging to the Literary Society and the other to the Academy Association. Additions are made each year.
BOARDING.
The citizens of Spiceland have always given the students a hearty welcom : by receiving them into their

homes. It is the intention to offer students the ad- vantages of a thorough education for a small outlay of money. The cost of boarding, when everything is furnished, is from $2.50 to $3.00 a week. Rooms. either furnished or unfurnished. can be rented by those who board themselves, and the cost of living reduced to a small sum.
i
LECTURES.
Students have the opportunity to hear good lectures at a small expense. Lectures on various subjects are given throughout the year by able lecturers. Ar- rangements are made by which such lectures are practically free to students.
The following course was given this year under the management of teachers and students:
"Gumption;" Prof. Geo. Bass, Indianapolis,
"Art in Everyday Living," Prof. W. W. Black, University of Illinois.
Violin Recital. Prof. Christian Oelschlagel, Indi- anapolis.
"A Ramble Among Words," John E. Wiley, An- derson. Ind.
Readings of Original Poems. S. W. Gillilan, Rich- mond, Ind.
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 in struction 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 deter. mine the recorded grade.
For many years the health of students has been uniformly good. There is probably no better loca- tion in the state in this respect.
The Friends and Methodists both hold religious services on the Sabbath and each maintains a Sabbath school. Meetings of the Young Peoples: Society of Christian Endeavor and the Epworth League are held every Sabbath evening, and students are wel- come to their meetings and membership.
A sufficient number of teachers is coustantly em- ployed, 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 afford- ing 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 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 sindent 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 a diploma, signed by the instructors and the president of the board of trustees.
