HISTORY


1


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 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 rests upon Christian culture ; it has been kept under strong Christian influences, 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 ninety-five. About three thousand five hundred students have received instruction in the school since its organization as an academy. The Course of Study and the Methods of Teaching are kept conservative in character and thoroughly progressive 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,


i


adjoining which is a large campus, well adapted to athletic sports. The interurban 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 bas been brought up to date, and 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 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 education 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 into college without examination.


8


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.

AGRICULTURE


The Board of Trustees is fully awake to the necessity for a more general knowledge of the scientific principles underlying growing, har- vesting, and feeding of erops ; a more general knowledge of the prin- ciples of care, breeding, and feeding of live stock ; and a more definite knowledge of the marketing of farm products. They are of the opin- ion that the farm boy wishes to leave the farm because he has not been shown the opportunity for a vocation, a career, or service in the busi- ness of farming.


MANUAL TRAINING AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE


Two rooms of the building are devoted to the use of these sub- jects. The shop is amply equipped with benches, tools, and a lathe,


10


Mechanical Drawing will be offered in conjunction with this work. The kitchen is adequate to meet the demands put upon it by those who elect to take the work as outlined by the State Course.


BIBLE STUDY


The study of the Bible is considered of so much importance that arrangements have been made by which it will be taught in the Acad- emy. 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.


TYPEWRITING AND BOOKKEEPING


Two New Underwood machines were installed the past year and were in such demand that a period following school dismissal was nec- essary that all might complete the work. This promises to become one of the most practical of the courses offered. The Bookkeeping proved equally popular. Arrangements have been made to do three credits of work in each of the two subjects.


ENGLISH


I. English Composition.


The aim of this course is to give the student a practical knowledge in the principles of English composition. Every student should be able to use correctly his own language, 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 discussed by the class and carefully criticised by the teacher.


1st year- Composition an | Grammar. 2nd year - Composition : :. J Rhetoric.


3rd year-Composition and Rhetoric. 4th year-Term Essays and Rhetoric.


11. English Literature.


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 American 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


11


.


requires nine months' time under the careful supervision of an exper- ienced teacher.


First Year. I, Longfellow's Poems ; Stevenson's Treasure Is- land ; Dickens' Christmas Carol and The Cricket on the Hearth ; one book in outside reading ; II, Whittier's Poems ; Shakespeare's Mer- chant of Venice ; Irving's Sketch Book ; one book in outside reading.


Second Year. I, Scott's Ivanhoe ; Lady of the Lake ; Eliot's Silas Marner ; one book in outside reading. HI, Sir Roger de Coverley Pa- pers ; Macaulay's Lays of Ancient Rome ; Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; Lamb's Old China and Other Essays ; Selected Poems of Coleridge and Campbell ; one book in outside reading.


Third Year. J, Lowell's Poems ; Washington's Farewell Address and Webster's Bunker Hill Oration ; Hawthorne's Twicetold Tales; Poe's Tales ; one book in outside reading. II, Lincoln's Cooper Union Address ; Macanlay's Speeches on Copyright ; Shakespeare's As You Like It ; First View of American Literature by Moody, Lovett and Boynton ; one book in outside reading.


Fourth Year. 1, A First View of English Literature by Moody, Lovett and Boynton ; Shakespeare's Hamlet and Twelfth Night ; Mil- ton's Short Poems ; one book in outside reading. H. Burke's Concilia- tion ; Selections from The Golden Treasuray of Palgrave ; Tennyson's Poems ; Shekespeare's Macbeth ; one book in outside reading.


HISTORY


The course in History is now arranged to conform to the recom- mendations of the Committee of Seven of the American Historical Association.


Besides the culture value of history, it is to be remembered that it is the study which furnishes the students the ideals of character which lead to the highest moral growth. The student should thor- oughly understand the institutional life of the people studied.


The purposes of history in the Academy are as follows :


First. The development of moral character. History as the study of institutional life and of character teaches us to watch the progress of humanity in the rise and fall of nations. Success or failure in nat- ional life or in the life of a person will cause us to adopt for ourselves and our country that which has proved of excellent worth. History helps us to avoid the mistakes of other people and nations.


Second. The teaching of patriotism and the broadening of our in- terests and sympathies. While we wish to be familiar with our own


12


-------- 4


government and national character, we must recognize the broad prin- ciples of the universal brotherhood of men.


Third. The development of our powers of judgment. It is here that we especially study the relation between cause and effect. Every statesman has been a student of history. In studying the problems of life which have confronted other people we are greatly aided in the practical solution of the life problems of today.


Fourth. The acquirement of useful facts. This, though gener- ally considered of most importance, is in faet but a subordinate pur- pose in the study of history.


Fifth. The gaining of a broad and practical general culture. The work consists of a study of Ancient History in the second year ; a spe- cial study of Medieval and Modern History in the third year ; of Eng- lish History in the third year ; United States History and Civil Gov- ernment in the fourth year.


MATHEMATICS


The aim of this study is to introduce the student to mathematical methods and 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 and the first half of the third year ; Geometry during the second year and through the last half of the third year. A great deal of supplementary work is given in Algebra, and original exercises are introduced as much as possible in Geometry. Arithmetic is an elective study.


LATIN


There is no subject in the Academy which has greater disciplinary value to the pupil than the study of Latin. It trains and strengthens the memory, cultivates and quickens the perception, and develops hab- its of ready, accurate and sound thinking.


A very large per cent. of all the words used in the dictionary are of Latin origin, therefore some knowledge of this subject is absolutely necessary for a correct understanding of our own English language. It gives us a key to a quicker understanding of all that we read or hear. It is essential to all who are to continue work in college. It is helpful to every professional man. It will give us a greater apprecia- tion of the Latin writers and speakers. It increases our general cul- ture and contributes to our broader discipline.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE


Prevocational Studies


In Domestic Science one year's work will be given. This will con- sist of the following :


I. A study of foods and their preparation.


IL. Sewing.


III. House Furnishing.


IV. Laundry Work.


V. Hygiene-study of the care of the body of diseases, etc.


In Manual Training, there will be a study of the elements of me- chanical drawing and wood finishing. There will be the practical con- struction of various useful articles.


The principles of Agriculture will consist of the study of Soils and fertility of farm and garden crops, of horticulture, dairying and hus- bandry.


In all prevocational work the student will have the very best op- portunity of learning the practical side of the work. Each of these studies will be given five days in the week throughout the year.


The Academy is supplied with sufficient apparatus to be a valuable aid in the study of natural sciences. In Physics the subject is illustra- ted by many simple pieces of apparatus, besides the air pump, clectri- cal machine, batteries, etc. Geology and Mineralogy 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.


The following are the purposes of science work :


First. To interest the pupil in the observation of nature.


Second. To develop the power of reasoning through the original investigation of the truths of nature.


Third. To give a practical knowledge of the elementary principles of those seiences which are now, in a great measure, causing our rapid progress in the civilization of the world.


MUSIC


Both voice and piano are taught by experienced teachers and credit will be given for the completion of the required work ..


1. Piano. In the Piano Course, pupils must have gained sufficient ability in sight-reading and execution, to enable them to take up the work in the course, which is equivalent to the first year of. college


14


work ; and shall have advanced during the year sufficiently to be able to appear in recital.


The fundamental purpose in the piano course will be to supply am- płe training in the various types of musical literature, represented in the grades attained, and so to instill a love for the best in music, that the amateur as well as the student who wishes later to specialize in music, 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 flueney and assurance in playing and sight-reading.


4. Sonatas and compositions from classic and modern composers, and --


5. The study of History of Music.


No lessons will be excused unless absince from school is necessary be- cause of illness, and when due notice has been given ; such lessons are to be made up during the semester in which they occur, unless in case of protracted illness.


Piano Course, one private lesson of 45 minutes per week and one class lesson in History and Theory in two weeks -- $10.00 per semester.
