In the Piano Course the fundamental purpose will be to supply complete training in the literature of pianoforte music as represented by the degree of advancement attained in each grade, and so to instill a love for the best in music, that the amateur as well as the more se- rious student, will find the work comprehensive.
The work will be based upon:
1. Mason's System of Fundamental Technics.
2. A knowledge of Scale Formation and chord construction.
3. Studies from such noted teachers and composers as Heller, Czerny, Bertini, for gaining fluency and assurance in playing and sight-reading.
4. Sonatas and compositions from modern and classic composers. And -
5. The training of musical memory, and the preparation of com-
. positions for recital use.
Tuition charges to students taking piano music will be extra, but much less than tuition for the same work elsewhere.
Private lessons, of one hour, or two of thirty minutes each, per week, will be given, as needed, for which the tuition will be $10.00, in advance per semester. This price includes the study of theory and
14
history of music, which studies will be required of students of the piano.
In vocal music the work will consist of the following :
1. The development of the voice through the training of the ear to the appreciation of perfect tones.
2. The studies in the oratorios and songs from the masters of music.
3. A study of the history and development of music having in view both the acquaintance and appreciation of music.
4. A study of the nature and tendency of modern music as se- lected from the best of modern composers.
5. Special chorus singing leading to some public performances.
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 a student are important factors in the formation of character. Greater stress is laid upon the thoroughness of instruction and accu- racy of knowledge than upon rapidity of advancement.
For many years the health of students has been uniformly good. There is probably no better location 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 People's Society of Christian Endeavor and the Epworth League are held every Sabbath evening, and students are welcome to their meetings and membership.
A sufficient number of teachers is constantly employed so that large classes may be avoided, and students may receive personal at- tention.
Expenses are as low as at any other school affording equal ad- vantages.
The managers of the school are very careful to make this an in- stitution 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 beer, liquor or billiard saloons in the village.
No student whose influence is known to have a corrupting tenden- cy, will be retained in the school.
15
DIPLOMAS
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 Presi- dent and Secretary of the Board of Trustees. To receive a diploma a student should be in attendance at the Academy one year, except when special arrangements are made with the Superintendent and Board of Trustees.
LECTURES
Students have the opportunity to hear good lectures at small ex- pense. Addresses on various subjects are given during the year.
LITERARY EXERCISES
Literary exercises may be required of all students in all grades, both in class work and before the public. Care is used that students may learn the art of composition and public delivery. Essays and declamations are a part of the regular school work in the department of oratory.
LIBRARIES
Five 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 is a large library in connection with the school, which comprises about three thousand volumes.
The texts adopted by the State Board of Education are used in the Academy.
EXPENSES RATES OF TUITION
Special classes for each study $1.00 per month
Academic classes for two or more studies
Special classes for each study $1.00 per month
Students who enter at irregular times will be charged full tuition for the terin 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 enroll- ment in the classes.
Occasionally those who are especially strong are permitted to earn
credits by outside study under the supervision 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 settlement 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 students a hearty welcome by receiving them into their homes. The cost of boarding and rooms in private families where everything is furnished can be had for $3.00 to $4.00 a week.
Persons who may live near enough to go home at the end of the week, and who wish to economize, may reduce 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 ns a Friends' school extends over a period of eighty years. It is under the control of the Spiceland Monthly Meeting, by which the Board of Trustees is appointed. The teachers are selected by the Trustees. While the school is under denomina- tional control, it is not sectarian in the least ; its foundation resty up- on Christian culture ; it has been kept under strong Christian influ- ences, and its purpose is to develop practical, earnest, and active Christian manhood and womanhood.
The first class graduated in 1870. The Alumni Association now enrolls four hundred seventy-seven. About three thousand five hun- dred students have received instruction in the school since its organi- zation as an academy. The Course of Study and the Methods of Teaching are kept conservative in character and thoroughly progres- sive in spirit.
LOCATION
Spiceland Academy is located in the beautiful town of Spiceland, Indiana, in the southern part of Henry county, on the Lake Erie & Western railroad, two miles north of Dunreith, on 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 connection with surrounding cities.
Spiceland Academy has a new and thoroughly modern building- well heated, well lighted, and well ventilated. Besides the gymnasium it has ten commodious rooms, all devoted to high school purposes. The rooms for Sciences, Manual Training and Domestic Science are es- pecially suited for their purposes. The sanitary water supply system is used. The library has been brought up to date, und is one of the finest reference libraries in similar secondary schools. In the new building there is an abundance of room for the regular recitations and for prevocational work. Excellent equipment has been furnished for the proper teaching of all subjects for secondary schools. The build- ing has been arranged and every facility given for keeping Spiceland Academy in the very highest rank of schools.
ENTRANCE
Students may enter at any time, but students coming from other schools are required to bring certificates stating their literary and moral standing. In the absence of approved certificate, examinations will be held and students classified accordingly.
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 conforms to the requirements of the State Board of Education. In addition many elective subjects are offered, and thus a student may prepare for any college, or more thor- oughly equip himself for his life's work. The Course of Study has been arranged with two purposes in view :-
First . It is prepared to comform to the needs and desires of all students who may not have the opportunity to pursue a college course, but who desire a practical education which will prepare them to lead an active and a successful life.
