GREAT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM OF INDIANA AND HOW IT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED

■tats Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The moat Important (act In Indiana's •chool 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 stats*. Our uniform sxamlnatlons. uniform course of study, uniform system of teachers' yearly study, uniform gradation and uniform text books make It possible for on# part of the state to be always in aioee touch with every other part. ▲ prominent cltiaen of the state recently moved his family to another county than'the one in which he had resided for many years. He marveled at a system which made it possible for his children to enter the school In the new home without loss of time or money, each child continuing at once from the point of his previous attainments In the same grade# and the same text books as those In his former school. Ths perfect co-or-dination of the parts of our system from the primary grade to the doee of the university course is the distinct feature of the system. Our excellent schools of today are the result of an evolution continuing through US years. From the Introduction to Indiana's school law, liKtt. { take the following; Operation of Law. Indiana’s compulsory education law has been In successful operation for three years. In this time, something of Its merits end demerits may be seen. In the ftrst place, we can say that In view of Its newness. Its weaknesses, and In a few place# Its ln'operatlon due to local opposition or neglect of officer*. It has done more for the schools than Its promoters anticipated. A careful study of the school statistics collected by the department of publio Instruction, rof, 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 74.8 Per cent, of enrollment baaed upon the enumeration during the nine years previous to its enactment.... 87.8 Gain In percent, during the operation of the law 8.5 Per cent, of attendance based upon the enumeration during the operation of the law 57.5 Per cent, of attendance baaed upon the enumeration during the nine years previous to Its enactment ... 48.1 Gain in per cent, during the operation of the' law 8-4 Per cent, of gttendance based upon the enrollment during the operation of tho law 78.5 Per cent, of attendance based upon the enrollment Curing the nine years previous to Us enactment.... 70.2 Gain in per cent, during the operation of the law 8 8 The showing In per cents for the first full years of the law's enforcement Is the most satisfactory, this being due to its newness and a consequent lack of sufficient w ledge of Its weaknesses to enable uuants to take advantage of them.

character of the pupils added to the schools. Ths law brought many pupils Into ths enrollment whose attendance it could not wholly regulate, therefore there was a very large Increase In the enrollment but not a corresponding Increase In the attendance. One-of the strongest features of the law Is Its provision for a state board of truancy. Tlie following have been members: A. W. Butler and D. M. Geetlng. A. W. Butler and D. K. Goss. A. IV. Butler and F. L. Jones. A. W. Butler and W. T. Btott.

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 la 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: Delauw university. Greencoatl* Butler college, Irvington. Franklin college, Franklin. Wabash college, CrawfordsvllU. Hanover college, Hanover.

UNIVERSITY OF INDIANAPOLIS

Th* University of Indianapolis has never been In a more flourishing condition than It Is today. Although the hope that all the different departments of the university might be ultimately concen- . trated on one campua has not been realI lzed. 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 Improvements on a large scale which will be begun In the early spring. Bhe has never been in a more healthy financial condition. Today Butler has an endowment fund of 1250.000 and the material and equipment of the Institution are valued at *150,000. The college library of 10,000 volumes, covering every’ phase of science, literature and art, is said to be worth at least *IO,OOO. This library Is admitted by those familiar with the college libraries of the different educational Institutions *>f the state to be one of the best working libraries for students that could be selected. Its usefulness is at present very much hampered because of the want of suitable quarters, but owing to the and public spirit of Mr. 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 Butler college, who died about two years ago. they gave the college *30.000 In land and money for the construction of the building. The dtlsens of the suburb outside of the college circles are taking a great deal of interest In the srectlon of the building, which Is expected to 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 la chairman. Henry H. Dupont of the firm of Dupont & Johnson la the architect. Active work of building will begin very sarty 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 attendance and In the character of the work done. There are now In the neighborhood of 5 96 students In attendance, about the asms number as last year. These students. who are not residents of the suburb or of this dty. In which case they can easily go back and forth on the street cars, live with the residents of Irvington, where the very best homes of that charmlpk and cultured place are thrown ope* for their benefit. The college refine*, which accommodates students, has never been more than It has been this year. This Is Hy due to the fact that extensive 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 tbs romance languages and Miss C. C. Allen was made an assistant in the English 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 most 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 improvement#. The attendance this year la larger than it has been for many year* The law department, whleh 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 Dels war* and OKlo-sta., 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 ths sfflolency of her faculty, strengthening her curriculum, and adding to her equipment. It Is now conceded that few oolleges, not excepting the great eastern Institution* have a more thorough course In English. This department, thanks to the tireless energy and liberality of Prof. Bampson, la 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 out 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 hlstorlo 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 have been so often described In the state papers that most people Interested In educational work ere familiar with them. One new building, the largest of the university, Is now in process of construction, and will be ready for ©ccupacy by the beginning of the fall term. Built of white limestone, three stories In hlght, 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-, car course. The library, with Its 89,000 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 prises are offered. Among these are the Hon. W. J. Bryan prise of 8250 for the best essay on some subject connected with political science; the Hon. John W. Foster prize of 8500 for the. best essay on some subject relating to the political development of the United States, and several English and oratorical prize*

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 sucoess. It Is never embarrassed for the necessary funds, since It Is always furnished with pl#hty 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-to-date buildings, each of them four stories in hlght and Ideally arranged for the purposes to which they are applied. Students from every county In the state pour into the school at the beginning of every term, actuated solely by the desire to equip themselves to carry on the work of their 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 la used exclusively for serious purpose’s. 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 Torre Haute to secure both the advantages of a normal education and home life. Twelve counties 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 publlo 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 strongeet Institutions of Its kind found In the United Staten 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 In mathematic*, science, literature and art In the class room the student learns the theory of mechanical, civil and electrical englneer-

tag and pharmacy, and with this theory be 1 m taken Into the great laboratory and given the opportunity to apply hie theories in a practical manner. The laboratories of Purdue are celebrated among those Interested In the character of work touched upon, for their praettbUlty, their thoroughness and the modern methods which characterise them. The university draws upon legislative appropriations and an endowment fund of (840,000. Besides It has a government annuity of (25,000. The property, land and material of the university are valued at (660,000. There Is nothing In the way of financial embarrassment to prevent the school from developing Into one of the greatest schools of its kind in the world. There is never a year when the university does not make Improvements. To properly describe ths various laboratories that contributs so* much to the celebrity of the school would require columns. Suffice it to say that no school In the nation la better equipped for the character of work don* • 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. B. 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 soclties 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 student* attracted by the superior advantages of the school, come from different states of the union.

CLASSICAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

Thls school was opened In September. 1582. It was founded by the late Theodore Lovett Bewail, A- 8.. 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 1U principal, an opportunity to earn’ out some 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. The 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. Dr. Sargent replied that he knew of no woman in the country fitted to take such a position. A protracted search discovered none, and the physical Instruction was begun under the direction of Mr. Psrtuch. whose knowledge of gymnastics was limited to the exercises indicated by the name turnvereln. The efforts of the classical school to find competent teachers of physical culture were an Important factor In opening Dr Bargent’s gymnasium to women, and in turning the attention of educators to the necessity for doing something for the bodies of tholr 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 heat 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 ■odal opportunities enjoyed by its pupils, have drawn students from all sections of the country; from twentyfour different etates 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 106 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 schfol has always been as entirely Independent as In Its own methods of work and In Its ldeala Not a nominal feeder of any on# 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 lfs 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 Girls’ 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 roll Dement who seek constantly to study Individual needs. Ths school has 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 moat 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 ths best appliances and by keeping before ail o'/ its pupils the thought that the school is only ah 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 out of all proportion to its youth and to the number of its pupil*

KNICKERBACKER HALL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

Knickerbocker Hall, the diocesan school for girl* was founded by the late Bishop Knickerbocker 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 ths 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 oourae may be had from the fact that the students now In attendance hall from ten different state* All departments are offered, from klngarten 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 1s given all the prominence It deserves, with the most satisfactory results. The domestic science department which is one of the strong features of the institution, Is in charge of the most competent Instructor—a graduate of the celebrated New Tork training schooh The musical department is especially strong, as Is attested by the brilliancy of the lnstructr -s. The piano Instruction is In charge i Miss Josephine Wright, who Is well kn vn In this city as a thoroughly trained uslcian. The violin is taught by Prof. I jh McGlbeny. In fact. It Is the practice of the : managers to have no instructors who are not specialists of long and successful experience.

The school i/l In charge of the Misses Yerkes, whose work has attracted attention all over this part of the country. The fame of the Knlckerbacker Hall has reached to Grand Haven. Mich., where the people have asked them to establish another school patterned after the one In this city. It Is probable that ths request will be hoeded. 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., neax Flfteenth-st,
