GREAT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF INDIANA AND HOW IT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED By Frank L. Jones, State Superintendent qf Public Instruction. '

v .mnortanj fact in Indiana's school system is its integrity. The perfect operation of the machinery of the schools with remarkably few officers, the whole producing uniformity in administration and mutual understanding in professional training. is not so apparent in . other state*. Our uniform examinations, uniform course of study, uniform system of teachers* yearly study, uniform gradation and uniform text books make it possible for one part of the state to be always in closfc touch with every other part- A prominent cltiaen of the state recently movwl his family to another : county than the one m which he had re- ' sided for many years. Ho marveled at a | system which made it possible for hie 1 children to enter thi school in the new J home without loss of time or money, each i chlla continuing at once from the point ; of his previous attainments in the same grades and the same text books as those in his former school. The perfect co-or-dination of the parte of our system from the primary grade to the close of the university course is the distinct feature of the system. o - /Our excellent schools of today are the / result of an evolution continuing through / 120 years. From the introduction to Indiana's school law. 1961, I take the fol- * lowing; Operation of Law. India nas©compulsory education law has been to successful operation for three years. In this time, something of its merits and demerits may bo seen. In the first place, wo can say that in view of its newness, its weaknesses, and in n few places its inoperation due to local opposition or neglect of officers, it has .done mvio for the schools than its promoters anticipated. A careful study of the school statistics collected by the department of public instruction, not, however, with a view of testing the law, shows the following: Per cent, of enrollment based upon _ the enumeration during the operation of the law 74.3 Per cent, of enrollment based upon the enumeration during the nine years previous to its enactment.... 67.8.

The showing in per cents for the first full years of the law's enforcement is the most satisfactory, this being.duo to! Ila newness and a consequent lack of sufficient knowledge of its weaknesses to enable truants to take advantage of them. C..-O- ?

character of the pupils added to the schools. The law brought many pupils Into the enrollment whose attendance it could not wholly regulate, therefore there was a very large increase In the enrollment., but net a corresponding increase in the attendance. One of the strongest features of the law Is its provision for a state board of truancy. The. following have been members; A. W. Butler and D. M. Geeting, A. AV. Butler and D. K. Goss. A. W. Butler and F. L. Jones. A. W. Butler and W. T. Stott.

Higher Institutions. Indiana is fortunate In having so many excellent universities colleges and normal schools maintained by religious denominations or private parties. In nearly all of these the grade, of Instruction is very high, and a large number of our young people are trained by them to enter the professional and business avenues of life. The more prominent among these institutions are: DePauw university, Greencastle. Butler college. Irvington \ Franklin college, Franklin. Wabash college, Crawfordsville Hanover college, Hanover. Taylor university. Upland; Moore's Hill college, Moore’s Hill. Northern Indiana normal school, Valparaiso. Marion normal college. Marlon. Central normal school, Danville.

Although the hope that all the different departments of the university might be ultimately concentrated on one campus has not been realized, the departments maintain close relations and Indianapolis has, in the true meaning of the word, a university. Butler college is having a prosperous year and Is looking forward to improvement on a large scale which will be begun- j n the early spring. She has never been a more healthy financial condition/'' Today Butler has an endowment Xmd of $250,000 and the material and ed u i pln ent of the institution are valued a/t $150,000. The college library of 10,000 covering every of science, literature and art. is said ttj be worth at Aeast SIO,OOO. This library nr admitted by ta O se familiar with the coKege libraries ofJthe different ■#j.MSational institutions of/the state to be one'ot th® best working libraries for students that 79^14 Its usefulness is at Very much hampered because of the want of quarters, but owing to the generosity and public spirit of l&r. and Mrs. C. E. Thompson the college expects to have a library building by next fall that will be worthy of the contents. In memory of their daughter. Bona Thompson, a graduate of Buller college, who died about two years ago. they gave the college $30,000 in land and money for the ' construction of the building. The citizens of the suburb outside of the college circles are taking a great deal of interest in the erection of the building, which is expected be an ornament to the town, as well as of inestimable worth to the college proper. A library committee has been appointed to supervise the construction of the building, of which Mr. Hilton U. Brown is chairman. Henry H. Dupont of the firm of Dupont & Johnson is the architect, Active work of building will begin very early in the spring and by the time the students gather next fall the library will be ready for their reception. The present winter term has been very successful, both in point of atteifaance and in the character of the work done. There are now in the neighborhood of 396 students in attendance, about the 1 same number as last year. These stu- , dents, who are not residents of the suburb or of this city, in which case they can easily go back and forth on the street cars, live with the residents of Irvington, where the very beat homes of that charming and cultured place are thrown open for their benefit. The college residence, which accommodates about fifty students, has never been more popular than it has been thia year. This is partly due. to the fact that extensive Improvements were made In the building

and in the management last summer. None but young lauies are allowed to live at the residence. Two changes in the faculty were made at the beginning of the year. Prof. B. Barrett was added to the faculty as a teacher of the romance languages and Miss C. C. Allen was made an assistant in the Engilah department, The other departments of the university enjoy an equal prosperity. The medical department, located in excellent quarters built especially for the purpose across from the state house on Senateave.. has long been looked upon as one of the moot thorough medical schools in the West, and Improvements are added each year. Dr. Clark, one of the lecturers. said that It is customary for the faculty to make use of the profits of each year in making improvements. The attendance this year is larger than it has been for many years. The law department, which is located in commodious quarters In the Stevenson building on the second floor, is in a flourishing condition. The business management of the department, which has been weak in the past, has been greatly strengthened. The dental department. Well situated at the corner of Delaware and OEIo-sts., has a large attendance, and is doing splendid work in preparing men tor the dental profession. In all. the University of Indianapolis would be a credit to any community. STATE UNIVERSITY AT BLOOMINGTON • The State university at Bloomington. Ind., surrounded by the most beautiful natural scenery, and magnificently equipped for the instruction of Indiana’s youth, is rapidly forging to the front among the state universities of the West. Within the last* few years owing to the ever growing aggressiveness of her friends and the generous support of the state, she has strengthened herself in every department, increasing the efficiency of her faculty, strengthening her curriculum, and adding to her equipment. It is now conceded that few colleges, not excepting the great eastern institutions, have a more thorough course in English. This department, thanks to the tireless energy and liberality of Prof. Sampson. Is gaining the reputation of encouraging originality in expression with the most splendid results. Many people who have graduated from reputable schools and have passed the period of college preparation spend their summer vacations at Bloomington to secure the advantages of the English course. The psychological department is also reaching put and demanding more and more attention each year. In the department of history the university is doing excellent work, using the best text books, while her instructors are lecturing with regard to the cause of great historic movements and exacting a great »deal of original research on the part of students. In fact there is a wideawake Interest in every department and a determination to excel. The buildings of the university haver been "in Tlfe State f>amost people Interested in educational work are familiar with them. One new building, the largest of The university. is now in process of construction, and will be ready for occupacy by. the beginning of the fall term. Built of white limestone, three stories in hight. and of the most perfect architectural design, it will present a superb appearance on the south side of the college campus. While there Is to be no attempt to exclude from the advantages of the university those who desire to profit by them, the university is becoming stricter and more exacting each year -about the terms of admission. The law department, with its three-year course, is gradually strengthening itself. It Is the only law school in the state at the present which has a three-, ear course. The library, with its 39.000 volumes, is not least among the causes that contribute to the usefulness of the university. Periodicals In English. French. German. Italian. Spanish, Swedish and Russian are regularly received and put on file for the exclusive use of the student body. In all over two hundred and fifty publications regularly reach the library. The cost of living In Bloomington is comparatively low and poor students can easily maintain themselves while pursuing their studies if necessary. Several prizes are offered. Among these are the Hon. W. J. Bryan prize of $250 for the best essay on some subject connected with political science; the Hon, John W. Foster prize of SSOO for the best essay on some subject relating to the political development of the United States, and several English and oratorical prizes. INDIANA STATE NORMAL SCHOOL The Indiana state normal school at Terre Haute Is having its usually prosperous season. From the organization of the school, thirty-one years ago, there has never been a time when it was not a success. It is never embarrassed for the necessary funds, since it is always furnished with plShty of money by the state, which realizes the necessity of such an Institution and feels a Just pride in the achievements of the school at Terre Haute. The school Is situated In two handsome and thoroughly up-t<>7fiate buildings, each of them four stOi'Tes -in hight and ideally for the purposes to which they aaV applied. Students from every,jaunty In the state pour Into at the beginning of every term, actuated solely by the desire to equjff Themselves to carry on the work of ,*sieir chosen profession, that of the teacher, in the very best manner. The /school has strong departments In psychology, history, physics, music, Latin and German. The library, consisting of 30,000 carefully selected up-to-date books on all subjects relating in any way to the work covered by the normal course, is located on the ground floor of the new building and has been arranged with the health and comfort of the* students In view. It was designed originally as a workshop and Is used exclusively for serious purposes. Owing to a special fund, the school Is enabled to make all necessary purchases of new books and periodicals without delay. No person Is admitted to the school who does not have sufficient education to teach in the public schools of the state after securing the technical training and finishing touches which the .normal is expected to give. During the last year every county In the state, with the exception of two. has been represented in the enrollment. There were 193 students enrolled from Vigo county alone, but these, of course, included many who merely moved to Terre Haute to secure both the advantages of a normal education and home life. Twelve countlies are represented by over thirty students. The gymnasium- is elegantly equipped with modern apparatus for the physical development of all who desire to take advantage of the opportunities presented. Before beginning work in the gymnasium each person is made to undergo a physical examination, that his training may be made Intelligent. W. W. Parsons is president of the institution and an exceedingly strong faculty directs the studies of Indiana's futfire teachers In her public schools. The winter term of the school begins on Jan. 1. PURDUE UNIVERSITY AT LAFAYETTE Purdue university at Lafayette, the Institute of technology for the state, is generally admitted to be one of the strongest institutions of |ts kind found In the United Suites. The course of study Is so arranged as to give the students attending at once the benefits of a practical training in the mechanical sciences and the best that may be had la mathematics, science', literature and art In the alass room the student learns the theory of mechanical, civil and electrical engineer-

ing and pharmacy, and with this theory he is taken Into the great laboratory and given the oppwtunity to apply his theories in a practical manner. The laboratories of Purdue are celebrated among those interested in the character of work touched upon, for their practlblltty, their thoroughness and the modern methods which characterise them. The university draws upon legislative appropriations and an endowment fund of $340,000. Besides it has a government annuity of $35,000. The property, land and material of the university are valued at $650,000. There is nothing in the way of financial embarrassment to' prevent the school from developing into one of the greatest schools of its kind X n the world. There is never a year whenAhe university does not make improvements. To properly describe the various laboratories that contribute so much to the celebrity of the school would require columns. Suffice it to say that no school In the nation is better equipped for the character of work done. Provision has been made so that worthy students without the necessary means can secure an education through employment furnished in the college shops on Saturdays, on the college farm or through scholarships. One of the latest scholarships offered was recently established by Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Perkins of Indianapolis in memory of their son. Volney. a young man of brilliant promise, who died while pursuing his studies in the university. There are no necessary social expenses to be incurred since the students are supposed to be there to work. No one is looked down upon because of proverty. However, the university does not neglect to furnish the student body with means of social diversions that are calculated to combine pleasure with profitable work. There are four literary socltles devoted to literary discussion, debates and general forensics, the Irving, the Phllalethean, the Carlyle and the Emersonian. Each has commodious quarters, comfortably furnished. The student body represent i every section of the state and many students, attracted by the superior advantages of the school, come from different states of the union. VALPARAISO A SUCCESSFUL COLLEGE Valparaiso college was organised Sept. 16. 187 X by H. B. Brown, who was then and has been ever since its president. The enrollment at the evening of the school was thirty-fire students, and these were in .charge of four instructors. There were three depart ments. The total number of stadents enrolle<l the first year was 217. The total number enrolled the past year was 3.164. /The average enrollment for the first y»ar was 102. The average enrollment dyfring the past year was 2,123. Now thejss are sixty-one teachers and the nineteen following departments: Preparatory', teachers, psychology and pedagogy ' kindergarten, penmanship. sc|e»*7lflc, -lassie, higher English, biology, Jgeology ar.d mineralogy, engineering, elocution and oratory, pharmacy, medical, musical, fine art, law. commercial, phonography and typewriting, review. The value of the buildings at the beginning was SIO,COO. Up to the present time there has been expended perhaps a quarter of a million dollars in buildings and improvements. The college' has a library consisting of 12,000 volumes. The school is well equipped with apparatus, laboratories. etc., for doing the highest grade of work. The new science hall, which is completed and occupied. has laboratory facilities for 4 accommodating 400 students working at one time. The total expense of board, tuition, furnished room. fuel, light, laundry, etc., for one year of fifty weeks, at the beginning of the school, was about S3OO. Now the same accommodations will not cost to exceed S2OO. and the student has the advantage of all of the additional departments of -the school. The credits of the school are accepted in the best universities everywhere. CLASSICAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS This school was opened In September. 1882. It was founded by the late Theodore Lovett Sewall, A. B-. A. M., of Harvard university. It was Mr. Sewall's purpose in founding this school to give to his wife. Mrs. May Wright Sewall, who has from its opening been its principal. an opportunity to carry out soma of her advanced ideas regarding the education of girls. From the outset great attention has been paid by this school to the physical culture of Its students. progress In the United States in this direction in the last twenty years is told in the history of the Girls’ Classical. When It was opened and its principal applied to Dr. Sargent, the director of the gymnasium of Harvard, for a teacher of physical culture, Sargent replied that he knew of woman m the country fitted to take such a position. A protracted search discovered none, and the physical instruction was begun under ' th« direction of Mr. Pertuch, whose knowledge of gymnastics was limited to the exercises indicated by the name tumverein. The efforts of the classical schoo'. to find competent teachers of physical culture were an important factQAr in opening Dr. Sargent’s gymnasium to women, and in turning the attention of educators to the necessity for doing something for the bodies of their pupils. With the highest intellectual ideals and in surroundings in which comfort and refinement are studiously sought, this school is a thoroughly democratic institution. Its patronage has always been drawn from the best families of the city and from the corresponding circles in all parts of the United States. The reputation of the school for sound physical culture, for the highest intellectual standards, and for the unique social opportunities enjoyed by its pupils, have drawn students from all sections of the country; from twentyfour different states and territories and from cities as widely separated as San Francisco, Philadelphia and New Orleans The Girls’ Classical school has been a pioneer in _ Indianapolis for the higher education of women, and in its short life it has already graduated 166 young women, sixty-seven of whom have been Inspired under its influence to carry forward their education in the best colleges and universities of the United States. In its relation to other Institutions of learning, the schfiol has always been as entirely Independent as In its own methods of work and in its Ideals. Not a nominal feeder of any one college It has made preparation to meet the requirements of the Harvard entrance examinations. its standard for graduation from Its highest course; and the distribution of its students among the best colleges Is fairly shown by the fact that at the present time It is represented by its graduates at Vassar, Smith and Bryn Mawr. colleges and at Chicago. Leland Stanford and Cornell universities. Beginning with only the classical curriculum, it has added other courses, until now It is completely equipped for teaching chemistry, physics and the various subjects of natural history by the laboratory method, and in addition to its physical and chemical laboratories it has a model kitchen, in which the application of theoretical chemistry is made. The model kitchen Is under the able direction of a graduate of Drexel institute. The Girts’ Classical school from its commencement set a new standard for teachers in this community, employing only teachers of experience from some one of the small number of best Institutions In the country. The school insists on the Individual character of all true education. Its principal keeps In close touch with every pupil and through the large number of highly educated Instructors in its faculty its pupils enjoy the advantage of constant personal association with men and women of real culture and refinement who seek constantly to study individual needs. The school han steadily grown until it has developed a harmonious course of study covering a period of fifteen years, thus enabling it to take pupils at kinder-

garten age and to lead them In a continuous path to the door of the most exacting university. By a steady loyalty to its original purpose. by employing only the best Instructors. by being free to use the best books and the best appliances and by keeping before all of/its pupils the thought that the school is only an introduction to an education which the college and university must continue and which life alone can complete, the Girls' Classical school has exerted an influence upon education in this state cut of all proportion to its youth and to the number of its pupUa KNICKERBACKER HALL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS Knickerbocker Halt, the diocesan school for girls, was founded by the late Bishop Knickerbaeker and designed to offer every advantage to girls seeking college preparation or higher instruction and graduate courses. For several years there has been a steady growth in the popularity of the school until at the present time there are more applications for resident pupils than can be received. Thirty-three girls live at the hall, and there are sixty day pupils besides. It is the intention to enlarge the building at an early date to meet the growing demand. Some idea of the reputation the school enjoys for the thoroughness of its course may be had from the fact that the students now in attendance hail from ten different states. Ail departments are offered, from kingarten to post-graduate work. The management. mindful of the physical wellbeing of the students, has provided an Ideal gymnasium, well equipped, and work in this department is given all the prominence it deserves, with the most satisfactory results. The domestic science department, which Is one of the strong features of the instl--tution. is In charge of the most competent instructor—a graduate of the celebrated New York training school. The, musical department is especially strong, as is attested 6y the brilliancy of the instructors. The piano instruction is in charge of Miss Josephine- Wright, who Is well known In this city as a thoroughly trained musician. The violin is taught by Prof. Hugh McGibeny. In fact, it is the practice of the managers to have no instructors who are not specialists of long and successful experience. Th? school is in charge of the Misses Yerkes whose work has attracted attention all ovW this part of the country. The fame qfifhe Knickerbacker Hall has reached to Grand Haven. Mich., where have asked them to establiah Knottier school patterned after the one in this city. It is probable that the request will be heeded. Several changes in the school here looking to its betterment are contemplated besides the extension. but the management is not quite ready as yet to publicly announce the nature of these changes. It can be said. , however, that if made they will be for the improvement of the school. The school is beautifully located in an imposing building on Central-ave.; near Fifteen th-st.
