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 Railroad. 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 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. Classes in Grammar School branches are maintain- ed as demand may justify, affording opportunity for preparatory work to students who may not be eli- gible 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, graduates from the non-commission- ed high schools of this county can enter the Acad- emy with a credit of six terms' work. Three terms are usually required to complete the course.

. Besides the usuul work in English Grammar, special attention is paid to English Composition,
English
Public exercises in declamation will be given by the First Year class at the end of the fall term.
The course of study makes provision fora num- ber of electives, thus giving the student an oppor- tunity to select work along the line of his preference. The thirty-six credits required for graduation are distributed among the departments as follows: Latin, nine; English, nine; History, five; Mathe- matics, five; Science, three; Electives, five. At the close of the winter term the members of the Second Year class hold an exhibition, for which each member prepares an essay or oration, and the public speakers are chosen from the number.
HOWEVER, IS GIVEN TO PREPARING STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE, and additional work in Latin, Mathematics and other subjects will be given when a sufficient number of pupils desire it. Graduates are urged to take a college course, and they will be admitted to any of the leading colleges in Indiana without examination.
SPECIAL ATTENTION,
The above course of study has been prepared with reference to the needs of those students who do not expect to pursue a college course, but desire to acquire a knowledge of those branches which will fit them for active life.
Higher classes in any of the work will be formed whenever there is sufficient demand, and tuition will be charged at the same rate as for a third year study. Satisfactory work in these studies may be substituted for work in the regular course at the discretion of the Superintendent.

which is preparatory to work in Rhetoric. This consists of a study of grammatical purity, choice and use of words, and kinds of composition with practical exercises. English and American Litera- ture receive careful attention. And the effort is made to rouse a real interest in the literature for its own sake and to increase the culture of the student by developing a love for the best in thought and style.
Latin
In order to receive a diploma a student must have done three years' work in Latin, or, in special cases, equivalents may be taken to fit the student for college. Thorough drill on the declension of nouns, adjectives and the conjugation of verbs is given, also on the application of the rules of construction and the acquiring of a vocabulary. The derivation of English words is studied, and in the advanced work exercises in sight reading and Latin composition are given. It is the purpose to invest all the work in Latin with a living spirit that it may be a means of genuine literary culture as well as mental discipline.
The "First Latin Book," by Collar & Daniel, is used as a text in the First Year class. Any of the standard editions of the Latin classics may be used in the subsequent work.
History
A thorough foundation is laid in General His- tory, English History, Civil Government and Political Economy. It is the purpose of this course to reveal the various steps by which the great insti-
.9
tutions have developed and grown from early times until the present.
Science
The Academy is supplied with sufficient appara- tus to be a valuable aid in the study of the natural sciences. In Physics the subject is illustrated by many simple pieces of apparatus, besides the air pump, electrical machine, batteries, etc. In Chem- istry students do practical work in the laboratory, which is supplied with necessary chemicals and apparatus. Geology and Mineralogy are illustrated by a collection of more than twelve hundred speci- mens, presented to the Academy by the Alumni. In Zoology and Botony, 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.
Mathematics.
The aim in this study is to introduce the stu- dent to mathematical methods and to 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, 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. As- tronomy is studied during the winter term of the third year. In this subject the work is largely de- scriptive. A good six-inch telescope belongs to the Academy

Literary Exercises.
Literary exercises are required 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. Essays and declama- tions are a part of the regular school work.
Oratory and Elocution
There is an Oratorical Association which is as- sociated with similar organization of students of Fairmount, Central and Westfield Academies in the Inter-Academic Oratorical Association of Indiana. In each school a contest is held in oratory and dec- lamation. The successful contestant in each de- partment represents his school in an Inter-Academ- ic contest held in April.
Libraries.
Four sets of Encyclopedias are in the school- rooms, and these, with the dictionaries and numer- ous reference books, are for the free use of all. There are three libraries in connection with the school, which comprise about three thousand vol- umes, two of them belonging to the Literary Socie- ty, and the other to the Academy Association. Ad- ditions are made each year.
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 ad- joining counties have availed themselves of this op- portunity.
The increasing demand for normal work and for a more extended course than can be given dur- ing 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:
Fall Term .. |
Ist Grammar |Ist Arithmetic IstUS. History
Physiology
WinterT'rm
2d Grammar
2d Arithmetic 2dU.S. History Ist Geography
*SpringTrm
Method
Reading
Psychology
2d Geography
*All the common branches are offered in this term.
In the fall term classes will be organized with the view of continuing the work throughout the year. During the winter term those having started in the fall will advance 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. It is thus seen that all the legal branches, Psychology and Method may be had in the spring term.
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 gradu- ates desire to teach. 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 comprehensive knowledge of the legal branches, and learn correct methods of
II

teaching them. Psychology, Pedagogy and Method will be given to make work characteristically pro- fessional.
In the normal course it is not intended to con- duct a scheme of cramming for examination, but it is our intention to help teachers in their schools quite as much as to aid them to get licenses.
Work will be so arranged that students who desire to take part academic work and part normal work will be accommodated.
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 thorough- ness of instruction 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.
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 Sab- bath-school. Meetings of the Young People's So- ciety of Christian Endeavor and the Epworth League are held every Sabbath evening, and stu- dents are welcomed to their meetings and member- ship.
A sufficient number of teachers is constantly employed, so that large classes may be avoided, and
13
students may receive personal attention during the recitation.
Expenses are as low as at any other school affording 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 surround- ed 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 tendency will be retained in the school.
Diploma
Students whose conduct is exemplary, and who complete the course of study and prepare and de- liver a suitable literary production, will be furnished a diploma, signed by the instructors, and the Presi- dent and Secretary of the Board of Trustees.
Lestures
Students have the opportunity to hear good lectures at small expense. Addresses on various subjects are given during the year by able speakers.

Students who enter at irregular times will be charged full tuition for the term in case they com- plete the term's work in such manner as to receive credit toward the diploma.
Normal students and others who may not ex- pect to earn credit in the regular course will be charged only for the time of actual enrollment in classes.
Occasionally those who are especially strong are permitted to earn credits by outside study un-
15
der 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 Supdrintendent or the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees. Stu- dents 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 $2.50 to $3.00 a week. Rooms both fur- nished and unfurnished can be had for from 25 to 50 cents a week, and table borrd of excellent quality at the rate of $1.50 to $2.00 for the full week.
Thus persons who may live near enough to go home at the end of each week and who wish to economise may reduce the cost of living to a very small sum.

SPICELAND ACADEMY.
HISTORY.
Spiceland Academy is the oldest academy in charge of the Friends in Indiana. It was chartered as an acad- emy in 1870, but its history as a Friends' school extends over a period of about seventy years. It is under the con- trol 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 denomina- tional control, it is not sectarian in the least ; its founda- tion 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 was graduated in 1870. The Alumni Association now enrolls about two hundred and sixty mem- bers. 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 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 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 will soon be completed, and will give connections with surrounding cities.
