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 ex- perienced 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.
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 thoroughmess 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 cach maintains a Sabbath school. Meetings of the Young People's Society of Christian En- deaver and the Epworth League are held every Sabbath evening, and students are welcome to their meetings and . membership.
1
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.

DIPLOMAS
Students whose conduct is exemplary, and who com- plete the course of study and prepare and deliver a suitable 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. 1
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 contest- ant in each department represents his school in an Inter- Academic contest held in May.

LIBRARIES
Four sets of encyclopedias are in the school rooms, and these, with the dictionaries and numerous reference books, are for the fice use of all. There is a large library in connection with the school, which comprise about three thousand volumes.

EXPENSES.
RATES OF TUITION.
Academic classes for each study .$1.00 per month
two or more studies .. 2.00 per month
Normal classes for each study 1.00 per month
Students who enter at irregular times will be charged full tuition for the term in gase 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 supervis- ion 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 settle- ment 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 stu- dents 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 $2.00 to $3.00 a week. Rooms, both furnished and unfurnished, can be had from 25 to 50 cents a week, and table board of excel- lent 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 economize, may re- duce the cost of living to a very small sum.

SPICELAND ACADEMY
HISTORY.
S PICELAND ACADEMY is the oldest academy in 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 sev- enty years. It is under the control of the Spice- land Monthly Meeting, by which body the Board of Trus- tees is appointed. The teachers are selected by the Trus- tees. 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 Christian manhood and womanhood.
The first class graduated in 1870. The Alumni Asso- ciation now enrolls about three hundred forty. About three thousand five hundred students have received in- struction in the school since its organization as an acad- emy.
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
-7-
1
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 stating their literary and moral standing. In the absence of ap- proved certificate, examinations will be held and students classified accordingly. Classes in Grammar School branches are maintained as demand may justify, affording oppor- tunity 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, 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 com- missioned high school.
THE COURSE OF STUDY IN FOUR YEARS.
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
-8-
necessary preparation for admission in college without examination.
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.
BIBLE STUDY.
The study of the Bible is considered of so much import- ance that arrangements have been made by which it will be taught in the Academy. 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.

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 subjeet or classes in subjects not offered will be formed whenever there is sufficient demand, and tuition will be charged, one dollar per month for each study. Satisfactory work in these studies may be substi- tuted for work in regular course at the discretion 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, six; His- tory, four; Mathematics, six; Seience, 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 : Music, and Elocution and Oratory.
ENGLISH.
I. English Composition.
The aim of this course is to give the student a practi- cal knowledge in the principles of English composition. Every student should be able to use correctly his own lan- guage both in writing and speaking. Two recitations per

week are given in this study during each year of the Acad- emic course. The student is required to write at least one short theme each week. This theme is then discussed by the class and carefully criticised by the teacher.
1st year-Composition and Grammar.
2nd year-Composition and Rhetoric.
3rd year-Composition and Rhetoric. 4th year-Terni essays and Thesis.
II. 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 Amer- ican 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 requires nine months' time under the careful supervision of an experienced teacher.
First Year-First semester. (1) Longfellow's Poems, (2) Irving's Sketch Book. 3. Whittier's Poems. Home Reading, Irving's Alhambra. Second semester. 1. Haw- thorne's Wonder Book 2 Bryant's Poems 3 Cooper's Last of the Mohicans. Home Reading-Hawthorne's House of Seven Gables.
