HISTORY.
The course in History is now arranged to conforni 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
-13-
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- 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 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 the second year ; Geometry during the last half of the second year and through the third year. A great deal of supplementary work is given in Algebra,
-14-
and original exercises are introduced as much as possible in Geometry.
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 quick- ens the preception, and develops habits of ready, accurate and sound thinking.
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 gives 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 speak- ers. It increases our general culture and contributes to our broader discipline.
1
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 and in the study of natural sciences. In Physics the subject is illustrated by many simple pieces of apparatus, besides the air pump, electrical machine, bat- teries; etc. Geology and Mineralogy are illustrated by a collection of more than twelve hundred specimens, pre- sented to the Academy by the Aluinni. In Zoology and Botany, animals and plants are studied from nature, and
-15-
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.
?
1
Second-To develop the power of reasoning through the original investigation of the truths of nature.
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 then- selves of this opportunity.
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 not the purpose of high schools to give students a teacher's knowledge of 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.
In the Normal course it is not intended to conduct a scheme of cramming for examination, but it is our inten- tion to help teachers in their school quite as much as to aid them get license.
-16-
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.
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 welcome to their meetings and membership.
-17-
.
:
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 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.
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.
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 is a large library in connection with the school, which comprises about three thousand volumes.

EXPENSES
RATES OF TUITION.
Academic classes for each study $1.00 per month Academic classes for 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 case they complete the term's work in such manner as to receive credit toward the di- ploma.
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 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 reduce the cost of living to a very small sum.

SPICELAND ACADEMY
HISTORY
pireland Arademty 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 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 pur- pose 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 and forty. About three thousand five hundred students have received in- struction 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 & Western railroad, two miles north of Dunreith, on the Pennsylvania railroad. The buildings are situated in the midst of a beautiful grove, adjoining
-5-
which is a large campus, well adapted to athletic sports. The interurban street-car line gives connections with sur- rounding 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 academie standing.
