EXPENSES
RATES OF TUITION
Academic classes for each study. $1.00 per month
1
Academic classes for two or more studies
Special classes for each study $1.00 per monthi Students who enter at irregular times will be charged full tuition for the term in case they complete the term's work in such manner as to receive credit toward the diploma.
Special students and others who do not expect to earn credit in the regular course will be charged only for the time of actual enrollment in the classes.
Occasionally those who are especially strong are per- mitted to earn credits by outside study under the super- vision of the teachers. For such credits as these one-half the regular tuition will be charged.
Tuition is due at the opening of each term, and settle-

ment should be made with the Superintendent or the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees. Students will receive no credit for their work until the tuition is paid.
BOARDING
The citizens of Spiceland have always given the stu- dents a hearty welcome by receiving them into their homes. The cost of boarding and rooms in private families where everything is furnished can be liad for $3.00 to $4.00 a week. Rooms, both furnished and unfurnished, can be had from 25 to 50 cents a week, and table board of excel- lent quality at the rate of $2.50 to $3.50 for the full week.
Thus persons who may live near enough to go home at the end of the week, and who wish to economize, may re- duce the cost of living to a very small sum.

HISTORY
S [PICELAND ACADEMY is the oldest academy in charge of the Friends in Indiana. It was chartered as an academy in 1870, but its history as a Friends' school extends over a period of eighty years. It is under the control of the Spiceland Monthly Meeting, by which body the Board of Trustees . is appointed. The teachers are selected by the Trustees. While the school is under denominational control, it is not sectarian in the least; its foundation rests upon Christian culture; it has been kept under strong Christian influences, and its pur- pose is to develop practical, earnest, and active Christian manhood and womanhood.
The first class graduated in 1870. The Alumni Asso- ciation now enrolls four hundred sixteen. About three thousand five hundred students have received instruction in the school since its organization as an academy.
LOCATION
Spiceland Academy is located in the beautiful town
-5-
of Spiceland, Indiana, in the southern part of Henry county, on the Lake Erie & Western railroad, two miles north of Dunreith, ou the Pennsylvania railroad. The buildings are situated in the midst of a beautiful grove, adjoining which is a large campus, well adapted to athletic sports. The interurban street-car line gives connections with surrounding cities.
ENTRANCE
Students may enter at any time, but students coming from other schools are required to bring certificates stat- ing their literary and moral standing. In the absence of approved certificate, examinations will be held and stu- deuts classified accordingly. Classes in Grammar School branches are maintained as demand may justify, affording opportunity for preparatory work to students who may not be eligible to regular academic standing.
The conditions for admission to the First Year class are the same as for entrance to the public high schools of this State.
In general, a graduate from non commissioned high schools of this county can enter the Academy with credit for the number of months' work he has studied in his home school wherein the work is up to the standard of the commissioned high school.
THE COURSE OF STUDY
The Academy course of study has been arranged with two purposes in view :
-6 --
FIRST-It is prepared to conform to the needs and desires of all students who may not have the opportunity to pursue a college course, but who desire a practical edu- cation which will prepare them to lead an active and a successful life.
SECOND-It is arranged to enable students to make the necessary preparation for admission in college without examination.
THE ENGLISHI COURSE
The completion of the English Course will entitle one to a certificate of credit. It is intended for those who have no expectation of attending college, but who wish to be prepared as well as possible for their work in life.
It is to be understood that the College l'reparatory Course is the one required for college entrance require- ments.
BIBLE STUDY
The study of the Bible is considered of so much im- portance that arrangements have been made by which it will be taught in the Academy. The subject will be made an elective one. Credit will be given as in other studies. This will be one of the most valuable studies in the course and it is hoped many will take advantage of the work.
STATE CERTIFICATE OF EQUIVALENCY
The State Board of Education has given the Academy a Certificate of Equivalency. This enables the graduates to enter any college in the State without an examination.

subject, marked with a star are elective.
In addition to those above mentioned, the following electives may be taken : Advanced English, English History, Music, Drawing, and special electives.
MANUAL TRAINING, AGRICULTURE, BOOKKEEPING
The Board of Trustees is making special preparation for the teaching of the practical subjects demanded by the spirit of the times. Special courses in Manual Training, Agriculture, and Bookkeeping are offered. Those of our young people who do not expect to attend college may now have the opportunity in the Academy of seenring au education in those subjects especially desired by them.
Students who wish to do post-graduate work will have an excellent opportunity to study in elective subjects.
Advanced classes in any of the lines of study will be formed whenever a sufficient number of pupils desire the higher work. The diploma of the Academy will admit the student to any of the colleges in Indiana or of other States without entrance examinations.
Higher classes in any subject or classes in subjects not offered will be formed whenever there is sufficient de- mand, and tuition will be charged, one dollar per month for each study. Satisfactory work in these studies may be substituted for work in regular course at the discretion of the Superintendent.
The course of study makes provision for a number of electives, thus giving the student an opportunity to select work along the line of his preference. The thirty-two credits required for examination are distributed among the departments as follows: Latin, seven ; English, six ; His- tory, two; Mathematics, six; Science, two; Elective, nine.
It is especially urged that all pupil's take the regular College Preparatory Course of study, and after graduation attend college, if possible.
Increased advantages are offered in the arrangements made to take elective work in the following departments : Drawing, Music, and Elocution and Oratory.
ENGLISH
I. ENGLISH COMPOSITION.
The aim of this course is to give the student a practi- cal knowledge in the principles of English composition. Every student should be able to use correctly his own lan- guage both in writing and in speaking. Two recitations

per week are given in this study during each year of the Academic course. The student is required to write at least one short theme each week. The theme is then dis- cussed by the class and carefully criticised by the teacher.
1st year-Composition and Grammar.
2nd year-Composition and Rhetoric.
3rd year-Composition and Rhetoric. 4th year-Term Essays and Thesis.
II. ENGLISH LITERATURE. i
The purpose of this course is to create an interest in literature for its own sake and to increase the culture of the student by developing a love for the best in thought and style. This can be done only by a thorough study of the masterpieces of the most important English and Amer- ican writers. It is desired to emphasize that the reading of the following selections does not constitute the proper study of literature. The time element is important. To receive credit for a year's work requires nine months' time under the careful supervision of an experienced teacher.
