GREAT EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM | OF INDIANA AND HOW IT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED

: _ By Frank L. Jones, State Buperintendent of Public Instruction.

The most important fact in Indlana'’s sciiool system is its integrity. The per-I fect operation of. the machinery of the| schools with remarkably few ofilcers, the whole producing uniformity in adrplnistration and mutual understanding in professional training, i{s not sc apparent in other states. Our uniform exarainations, uniform course of study, uniform system of teachers’ yearly study, uniform gradation and uniform text books make it pos-: slble for one part of ths state to be always in close touch .with every other part. A prominent citizen of the state recently moved his family to another county than'the one in which he had reslded 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;ronce from the point of his previous attg.lnments in the same grades and the same text books as thgse in his former school. The perfect ,co-or-dination-of the parts of our system from the primary .grade to the close of the university cglrse is the distinct feature of the system. i . Our excellent gchools of today are the result of an evolution continuing through 120 years. From the introduction to Indlana's school law,; 1901, I take the following: : - : : Operation of: Law. Indlana’'s compulsory education law has been {n successful operation for three ] years. In this time, something of its merits and demerits may be geen. In j -the first place, we can say that {n view f of its newness, {ts weaknpesses, and in a | few places Its inoperation due to local | _opposition or neglect .of - officers, it has. done' more for the schools than {ts pro- 1 moters anticipated. A-careful study of the school statisties coilected by the department of public Instruction, not, how- | ever, with a 'view of testing 'the law, ghows the following: | Per cent. of ‘enrollment - based upon | the enumeration during the oper- ‘ SOl @ Ble daw. il il '.'4.3] Per cent. of enrollment based@ upon o the enumeration during the nine | years previous to its enactment.... 67.8.

The reports of attendance based upon the enrollment shows an addition of twenty-five thousand to the rolls of the school, which number accords with the item, *‘the unmber of pupilﬁ;j brought into school,”’ in the éummarized reports of the truancy officers to the state board of truancy. - ' The larger per cent,.,of gain in ‘“‘attendance based upon “the enumeration,” compared with the gain in attendance based upon the.enrollment, the former being 9.4, the latter 63, is due to . the

character of the pupils added to the schools. The law brought many puplis into the enrollment whose attendance it could not wholly regulate, therefore there was a very large Increase in the:enrollment, but nct a corresponding increase in the attendance. : fa One of the strongest features of the law {s its provision for a state board of truancy.

Indiana is fortunate in having so'many excellent universities colleges and normal schools mailntained 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.

UNIVERSITY OF INDIANAPOLIS

The University of Indianagolis has never been in a more flourishing condition than it {s-today. 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 1s having a prosperous year and is looking forward to improvements on a large scale which will be begun in the early spring. ' She has never been In a more healthy financial condition. Today Butler has an endowment fund of $250,000 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 $lO,OOO. This library is admitted by those familiar with the college libraries of the different educational institutions of 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 generosity and public spirit of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Thompson the college expects ‘o 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 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 10 be an ornament to the town, as well as of inestimable worth to the college proper. A library committee has been appointed to supervigse 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. Actlve work of bullding will begin very early in the kpring 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 896 students In attendance, about the same number as last year. These students, 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 best 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 this 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 English department. The other departments of the university enjoy an equal prosperity. The medical department, located in excellent qQuarters built especially for the purpose across frcm the ‘state house on Senateave., has long been looked upon as one of the most thorough medical schools in the West, and fmprovements 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 yvear 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 bullding 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 Ohio-sts., has a large attendance, and is doing splendid work in prepanag men tor the dental profession. In all, the University of Indianapolis would be a credit to any community. :

STATE UNIVERSITY o -~ AT BLOOMINGTON

The State university at Bloomington, Ind., surrounded by the most beautiful natural ; scenery, and magr}iﬁcently equipped for the instruction of Indiana’s youth, is rapidly forging to the front among the state unlversities of the West. Within the last few years owing to the ever growing aggressiveness of her friends and the generous support of the staete, she has strengthened herself in every department, Increasing the efficlency 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, fs galning 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 prepsaratlon spend their summer vacations at Bloomington to secure the advantages of the English course. The psychological department is also reaching out and demanding moré 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 reésearch 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 are familiar with them. One new building, the largest of the university, 1S now in process of construction, and will be ready for occupacy by the beginning of the fall term. Built of white llmestone, 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, 1s gradually strengthening itself. It is the only law school in the state at the present which has a three- ear course. -

The Ulbrary, with its 29,000 volumes, is not least among the causes that contribute to the usefulness of the university. Periodicalg in English, French, German, Itallan, Spanish, Swedish and Russian are regularly received and put on file for the excluslve use of the student bedy. In all over two hundred and fifty publications regularly reach the lbrary.’ ‘ The cost of living in Bloomington is comparatively low and poor students can easily maintaln themselves while pursuing thelr studies if necessary. Several prizes are offered. Among thess are the Hon. W. J. Bryan prize of $250 for the best essay on some subject connected with political science; the Hon. John W. Toster prize of $5OO 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 Indlana state normal school at Terrs 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 succees. It is never embarrassed for the necessary funds, since it is always furnished with pléhty 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 hight and ideally arranged for the purposes to which they are applied. Students from every county in the state pour into the gchool at the beginning of every term, actuated solely by the desire to equip themselves to carry on the work of their chosen profesdion, that of the teacher, in the very best manner. The echool has strong departments {n psychology, history, physics, music, Latin ard German.

The library, consisting of 30,000 carefully ‘selected up-to-date books on all subjecfs relaling in any way to the work covered by the normal course, {s located on the ground floor of the new bullding and has Yeen arranged with the health and comfort of the” students in view. It was designed originally as a workshop and is used exclusively for serious purpos€s. Owing ‘to a special fund, the school is enabled to make all necessary purchases of new books and periodfcals without delay. No person is admitted to the school who does not have sufficlent 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 courss, included many who merely moved to Terre 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 ls made to undergo a physieal examination, that his training may be made intelligent.. W. W. Parsons is president of the institution and an exceedingly strong faculty directs the studfes of Indiana’s fut@®re teachers in her public schools. The winter term of the school begins on Jan. 1.

PURDUE UNIVERSITY f AT LAFAYETTE

Purdue university at Lafayette, the Institute of technology for the state, is generally admitted to be one of the strongest institutions of its kind found in the United States. The course of study is g 0 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 mathematics, science, literature and art. In the nlass 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 glven the opportunity 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 thelr practibility, their thoroughness and the modern »methods which characterize them. The university draws upaqn legislative appropriations and an endowment fund of $340,000. Besides it has a government anm‘hty of $25,000. 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 fn the world. There is never a year when the unlversity 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 thé character of work done. : - Provision has been made so that worthy students without the necessary means can secure an education through employinent 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. 8. E. Perkins of Indianapolis in memory of their son, Volney, a young 'man of brilllant promise, who dled while pursuing his studies in the univergity. - 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 socities devoted to literary discussion, debates and general forensics, the Irving, the Philalethean, the Carlyle and the Emersonian. Fach has commodious quarters, comfortably furnished. The student body represent: every section of the state and many students, attracted by the superior advantages of the school, come from different states-of the uniom. :

VALPARAISO A - SUCCESSFUL COLLEGE

Valparalso college was organized Sept. 18, 1873, by H. B. Brown, who was then and has been ever since its president. The enrollment at the opening of the school was thirty-five students, and these were in charge of four instructors. There were three departments. The total number of students enrolled the first year was 217. ‘The total number enrclled the past year was 3,164.. The average enrollment for the first year was 102. The average enrollment during the past year was 2,123. Now there are sixty-one teachers and the nineteen following departments: Preparatory, teachers, psychology and pedagogy, kindergarten, penmanship, scientific, classic, higher English, biology, geology and mineralogy, engineering, elocution and oratory, pharmaci;, medical, musical, flne art, law, commercial, phonography and typewriting, review. The value-of the buildings at the beginning was $lO,OOO. 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 schovl is well equipped with apparatus, laboratortes, etec., for doing the highest grade of work. The new- science. hall, which is completed and occupied, has laboratory facilities for 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 $3OO. Now the same accommodations will not cost to exceed $2OO, 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, 1832. It was founded by the late Theodore Lovett Sewall, 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 its principal, an opportunity {o carry out soms 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 Btates in this direction in the last twenty years is told in the history of the Girls’ ~ Classical. When it was opened and {ts principal arplied 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 ' mnons, and the physlcal instruction was begun under the direction of Mr. Pertuch, whose knowledge of gymnastics was lim{ted to the exercises indicated by the name turnverein. The efforts of the classfcal school to find competent teachers of physical culture were an {important factor 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 studliously gought, 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 TUnited States. e :

The reputation of the school for sound physical culture, for the highest Intellectual standards, and for the unique soclal opportunities enjoyed by Its pupils, have drawn students from all gections 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 ploneer in_ Indianapolis for the higher education of women, and in fits ghort life it has already graduated 168 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 {ts relation to other institutions of learning, the sch@ol 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 exeminations, its standard for graduation from lits” highest course; and the distribution of ifs 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. Reginning with only the classical curriculum, it has e&dded other courses, until now it is completely equipped.for teach-. ing chemistry, physics and the various subjects of natural history by the laboratory method, and in addition to its phkysical and chemlical laboratories it has a model kitchen, in which the application of theoretical chemistry 18 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 stanllard for teachers in this community, employing only teachera 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 puplls enjoy the advantage of constant personal association with men and women of real culture and retinement ‘'who seek constantly to study individual neads. : i The 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 most exacting university. By a steady loyalty to its original purpose, by employing only the best instruotors, 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 {ntroduction to an education which the college and univergity 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 pupils.

KNICKERBACKER HALL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

Knickerbacker Hall, /| the diocesan school for girls, was founded by the late Bishop Knickerbacker 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 thers 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 bullding at an early date to meet the growing demand. Some {dea of the reputation the school enjoys for the thoroughness of its course may be had from the fact that the students now in attendance hall from ten” different states. All 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 1n this department s given all the prominence {t deserves, with! the most satisfactory results. - The domestic science department, which is,one of the strong features of the institution, 1s in charge of the most competent Instructor—a graduate of the celebrated New York training sq)ool. The musical department is especially strong, as Is attested by the brilliancy of the instructors. The plano 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. - The school is in charge of the Misses Yerkes, whose work has attracted attention all over this part of the country. The fame of the Knickerbacker Hall has reached to Grand HHaven, Mich., where the people have asked them to establish another ‘school patterned after the one in this city. It is probable that the request will be heeded. Several changes {n the school here looking to its betterment are contemplated besides the extension, but the manugemerﬁ 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 Fifteenth-st. :
