SPICELAND ACADEMY.
HISTORY.
PICELAND ACADEMY is the oldest academy in S charge of the Friends in Indiana. It was char- tered as an academy in 1870, but its history as a Friends' school extends over a period of seventy 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 purpose is to develop practical, earnest, and active Chris- tian manhood and womanhood.
The first class was graduated in 1870. The Alumni Association now enrolls about two hundred and ninety members. About three thousand five hundred students have received instruction in the school since its organiza- tion 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 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- dents 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, graduates 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.
COURSE OF STUDY.
The Academy course of study has been arranged with two purposes in view :
First - It is prepared to conform to the needs and de- · sires of all students who may not have the opportunity to pursue a college course, but who desire a practical educa- tion which will prepare them to lead an active and suc- cessful life.
Second - It is arranged to enable students to make the necessary preparation for admission in college with- out examination.
- 8 -
A FOUR YEARS' COURSE.
- For three reasons the course of study has been in- creased to a four years' course.
1. To increase the advantages of Spiceland Academy as a finishing school for those who will not be able to pur- sue their work in college.
n 2. To give the pupil a more thorough preparation for any college in the United States.
3. To keep thoroughly up to the very best standard of the educational thought of the day.
THE COURSE IN THREE YEARS.
The course of study is so arranged that any pupil who may wish to complete the course in three years may do so by earnest and faithful work.
Special opportunity will be given those who wish to take advantage of this offer and thus save time and ex- pense.
THE ENGLISH 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 as well prepared as possible for their work in life.
It is to be understood that the Latin Course is the one required for college entrance requirements.

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 of 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 at the same rate as for a fourth year study. Satisfactory work in these studies may be substituted for work in regular course, at the dis- cretion 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 graduation are distributed among the departments as follows : Latin, seven; English, eight; History, two; Mathematics, six; Science, two; Electives, seven.
It is especially urged that all pupils take the regular Latin 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 : Normal, Music, and Elocution and Oratory.
ENGLISH.
The course in English is made thorough and practical. All the college entrance requirements are studied. Spe- cial attention is given to Grammar and Composition lead- ing to Rhetoric. English and American Literature receive careful attention. The effort is made to rouse a real in-

terest 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.
HISTORY.
The course in History is now arranged to conform to the recommendations of the Committee of Seven of the American Historical Association.
Besides the culture value of history, it is to be remem- bered that it is the study which furnishes the student the ideals of character which lead to the highest moral growth. The student should thoroughly understand the institu- tional 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 national life or in the life of a person will cause us to adopt for ourselves and our country that which has proven of excellent worth. History helps us to avoid the mistakes of other people and nations.
Second-The teaching of patriotism and the broaden- ` ing of our interests and sympathies. While we wish to be familiar with our own government and national character we must recognize the broad principle 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 con-
-. 12 -
fronted other people we are greatly aided in the practical solution of the life problems of to-day.
Fourth-The acquirement of useful facts. This, though generally considered of the most importance, is in fact but a subordinate purpose 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 first year ; a special study of Medieval and Modern History in the second year; of English History in the third year; U. S. History and Civil Government in the fourth year.
MATHEMATICS.
The aim in 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. Al- gebra is studied throughout the first year of the High School and the first half of second year; Geometry during the last half of second year and through the third year. A great deal of supplementary work is given in Algebra. and original exercises are introduced as much as possible in Geometry. Astronomy is studied during the winter of the third year. In this subject the work is largely de- scriptive.
A good six-inch telescope belongs to the Academy.
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 developes habits of ready, accurate, and sound thinking.
13 -

A very large per cent. of all the words used in the dictionary will be of Latin origin, therefore some knowl- edge of this subject is absolutely necessary for a correct understanding of our own English language. It give us a key to a quicker understanding of all that we read or hear. It is essential to all who are to continue the work in col- lege. It is helpful to every professional man. It will give us a greater appreciation of the Latin writers and speakers. It increases our general culture and contributes to our broader discipline.
The course in Latin is required of all who receive a diploma. In special cases, to fit the student for college, equivalent subjects may be substituted.
SCIENCE.
The Academy is supplied with sufficient apparatus 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 chemistry students do practical work in the laboratory, which is supplied with necessary cheni- icals and apparatus. Geology and Mineralogy are illus- trated by a collection of more than twelve hundred speci- mens, 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 in Science work :
First-To interest the pupil in the observation of na- ture.
Second-To develop the power of reasoning through the original investigation of the truths of nature.
- 14 -
Third-To give a practical knowledge of the elemen- tary principles of those sciences which are now, in a great measure, causing our rapid progress in the civilization of the world.
NORMAL DEPARTMENT.
For several years past special arrangements have been made to give those students desiring to teach, the oppor- tunity of normal instruction during the Spring term. A special normal instructor has been employed, and many students of this and adjoining counties have availed them- selves of this opportunity.
The increasing demand for normal work and for a more extended course than can be given during the Spring .... m, · has induced the board to add a Normal Departinent that provides for a full year's work of three terms, as follows :
Fall Term.
Ist Grammar.
Ist Arithmetic.
Ist U. S. History
Physiology.
Winter Term.
2d Grammar.
2d Arithmetic.
2d U. S. History.
Ist Geography.
#Spring Term.
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. Dur- ing 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
- 15 -

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 graduates 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 meth- ods of teaching them. Psychology, Pedagogy and Method will be given to make work characteristically professional.
In the Normal course it is not intended to conduct a scheme of cramining for examination, but it is our inten- tion to help teachers in their school quite as much as to aid them to get license.
Work will be so arranged that students who desire to take part in academic work and part normal work will be accommodated.
COURSE IN MUSIC.
Vocal and instrumental music will be taught by an experienced teacher.
In the beginning course students who have known nothing of music will be taught to read readily and sing ordinary church music. Advanced work will be given to prepare students to form and conduct chorus classes and to teach music in the public schools.
Excellent opportunity will be offered to all students who wish to take special courses in instrumental music.
-- : 6 -
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 accuracy of knowledge than upon rapidity of advancement.
For many years the health of students has been uni- formly good. There is probably no better location in the State in this respect.
The Friends and Methodists both hold religious ser- vices on the Sabbath and each maintains a Sabbath school. Meetings of the Young People's Society of Christian En- deavor and the Epworth League are held every Sabbath evening, and students are welcomed to their meetings and membership.
A sufficient number of teachers is constantly employed so that large classes may be avoided, and students may re- ceive 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 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 bil- liard saloons in the village.
No student whose influence is known to have a cor- rupting tendency will be retained in the school.
- 17 -
DIPLOMAS.
Students whose conduct is exemplary, and who com- plete the course of study and prepare and deliver a suita- ble literary production, will be furnished a diploma, signed by the instructors and the President 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 expense. Addresses on various subjects are given during the year by able speakers.
Public exercises in declamation will be given by the First Year class at the end of the Fall term.
LITERARY EXERCISES.
Literary exercises are 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.
ORATORY AND ELOCUTION.
There is an Oratorical Association which is associated · with similar organizations of students of Fairmount, Cen- tral and Westfield Academies in the Inter-Academic Ora- torical Association of Indiana. In each school a contest is held in oratory and declamation. The successful con- testant in each department represents his school in an Inter-Academic contest held in May.
- 18 -
LIBRARIES.
Four 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 are three libra- ries in connection with the school, which comprise about three thousand volumes, two of them belonging to the Lit- erary Society, and the other to the Academy Association.

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.
Normal 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 set- tlement should be made with the Superintendent or the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees. Sudents will receive no credit for their work until the tuition is paid.
