II. Voice. 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
15
..
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 offering 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.
DIPLOMAS
Students whose conduct is exemplary, and who complete the course of study, will be furnished a diploma, signed by the instructors and the President and Secretary of the Board of Trustees. To receive a diploma a pupil 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
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 enroll- ment in the classes.
Occasionally those who are particularly 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.

Spiceland Academy
GENERAL INFORMATION
Spiceland Academy is the oldest academy in charge of Friends in Indiana. It began about 1826 as a neighborhood school, taught in a one-room pole cabin. In the following year, a "round log" house was built on the plot of ground which is the present site of the academy. Later the management of the school came into the hands of a committee appointed by the local meeting which has had control since 1833, either through a committee or a board of trustees.
In 1870, the school was chartered as an academy and came to be an educational center of more than local reputation. Because of the reputation of the excellence of its work, the genial and ele- vating, as well as restraining influences of moral and religious en- vironment, it attracted numbers of pupils from other localities.
The first class graduated in 1870. The Alumni Association now enrolls more than five hundred, and some four or five hundred pupils have received instruction in the school since its organization as an academy.
Although the academy is under the control of a board of trustees appointed by Spiceland monthly meeting of Friends, it is not scc- tarlan. It has been kept under strong Christian Influences, and Its purpose is to foster an atmosphere of culture and refinement and to develop practical, carnest and active Christian manhood and womanhood.
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 rafiroad. The interurban car line gives connection with surrounding cities.
1
The academy is situated in the midst of a beautiful campus. well kept and well adapted to athletic sports. The main building is a new modern brick structure, well heated, well lighted and well venti- lated. It has ten commodious rooms all devoted to High School purposes. The sanitary water supply system is used. The library contains four thousand seven hundred twenty-five volumes. These include books of general reference, such as encyclopedias, diction- aries, and manuals; works of standard authors in history, biography, religious literature, classic fiction, and poetry. The reading table supplied with excellent magazines.
Adjoining the main building is the gympasium-a large buliding adapted for indoor athletics or for an auditorium for public gather- ings.
Students may enter at any time, but students coming from other schools are required lo 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 graduale from non-commissioned High Schools of this county may enter the academy with credit for the number of months' work he has studicd In his home school wherein the work is up to the standard of the commissioned High School.
The academy course of study conforms to the requirements of the State Board of Educalion. In addition many elective subjects arc offered, and thus a student may prepare for any college or more thoroughly 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 -- Il is arranged to enable students to make the necessary preparation for admission into college. The State Board of Educa- tion has given the academy a certificate of equivalency. This enables the graduates to enter any college in the State without an examination.
