THE PACIFIC LUTHERAN ACADEMY Location
The Pacific Lutheran Academy is located at Parkland, a beautiful suburb o-f the city of Tacoma, in a region remarkable for the beauty and grandeur of fts scenery. To the West are seen the beautiful ranges and peaks of the Olympic 'mountains, while to the East and South lie the rugged foot-hills and broken mnges of the Cascade mountains, and, towering far above the surrounding peaks, rises the majestic cone of Mount Tacoma, or Rainier, with its mantle of eternal snow, a vision of unspeakable grandeur and loveliness when bathed in the Ibrilliant tints of the setting sun. Within this magnificent frame lie the beautiful, park-like prairies, dotted with groves and clusters of trees at short and irregular inter vals, -a nd covered in spring and summer with myriads of wild flowers of -a lmost every hue and color. In heaHhfulness, Parkland and vicinity can scarcely be surpassed. It is far enough inland to escape the distressing morning fogs , and, at
the same time, near enough to the ocean to have a mild and equable temperature through(lUt the whole year. Pure air, pure water, good drainage,and excellent opportunity for out-door exercise at almost all seasons make it -a n almost ideal place for students. Building
The building, which costs in the neighborhood of $100,000, is a massive, five-story brick -s tructure 190 feet long and 82 feet wide. It is furnish ed with modern conveniences, and has a water and electric light plant of it s own. When fully finished irt will be capable of ac commodating between 250 and 300 students. Organization and Aims
The Pacific Lutheran Academy is controlled and operated by the Pacific Lutheran University Association in the interest of the Evangeli cal Lutheran Church. Its aim is, by a thorough, systematic instruction on a Chrstian foundation, to prepare young men and women for some useful work in life. It will therefore be its constant endeavor to pro mote the highest intellectual development of its students, to give them a sound, religious instruction, and to surround them with such in fluences as best -w ill fit them for their duties in life. Instruction in the fundamental truths of the Bible forms an integral part of all courses offered by the school.

PACIFIC LUTHERAN ACADEMY Character and &cope of the Work
The Pacific Lutheran Academy seeks to make its work as broad and as thorough as possible, but at the same time It seeks the general education of the many rather than the elaborate educa tion of the few_ And for this reason, its courses of study are so planned and arranged that they embrace ev.erythlng essential to a practical every-day education, and as such commend themselves to all young persons who would begin life under the most favorable conditions_ Needs of Our Times Our county needs today, more than ever before, men and women
of culture and character; men and women who do right because it is right; who are proof against bribes; who are honest out of principle . and not because "honesty Is the best policy;" who obey the laws for God's sake, and not merely from fear of punishment. Our Churches ana Schools need devoted and cultured men and women, who are ready and willing to give themselves up to the ser vice of the Master, for the good of mankind, at home and abroad. Bankers, Merchants, Railroaa Companies, and others engaged in legitimate business enterprises are looking for men and women of character and ability, whom they they can tru!'t, and they know they are to be found pre-eminently in the ranl<s of Christians. The Christian School the Best
The best men are Christian men; the best nations are Christian nations; the best enterprise is a Christian enterprise; the best schOOl is a Christian school, because that alon'} develops the noblest type of manhood and womanhood. Our Teachers
In keeping with its aim, the Pacific Lutherpn Academy has spared no effort In securing as teachers men and women of broad CUl ture, ripe experience and high ideals. They are devoted to their worl<, capable, enthusiastic and helpful to our students. Our Students
Our students come from homes represeIlting the most varied occupations and conditions in life. A few come from wealthy homes, but the majority are young men and women of moderate, and even slender, means. Many of them have to support themselves while attending school, and practically all have been accustomed to hard work. They come to the school, bringing with them rugged energy and habits of economy and industry; and, while some of them may be rough-hewn, ignorant and deficient in many of the graces of fine society, they have an intense desire to learn and improve them lelves, and it is unnecessary to add that such invariab'ly succeed.

COURSES OF STUDY Special etl'orts have been made to arrange the branches in the v揃a rious courses in their natural order. Students are therefore re足 quired to select and follow some pal'ticular course of study, and will, as a rule, find it to their advantage to do so. Only under special cir足 cumstances will a student be allowed to omit a study from the course which he has selected.
PREPARATORY COURSE The work in this course corres'p onds in a general way to that pursued in the Seventh, Eighth and Ninth grades of the publ1c schools. It is designed to give young students a thorough elementary knowledge of reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, grammar, geograpny, history, physiology and composition. The work will be talten up in the following order: First Year 1<'all Term. Reading Spe lling Arltbmetic BIble History Singing

NORMAL COURSE This course extends over a period of three years, and embraces all the branches required for a first grade teacher's certificate. It will be seen that, in addition to the branches ordinarily required for a first grade teacher's certificate, a liberal course has been pro足 vided in Ancient, Medieval and Modern History and in the History of England. Aside from the invaluable mental discipline which these branches atl'ord, they also furnish the very best preparation for a correct understanding of the history of our own country and the principles upon which our government is r.ased. The study or the elements of Latin grammar has also been included in the Normal Course. This study is of great importance to the teacher, not only

on account of the mental culture It glvep. but also on account of the close relation it bears to the English language. As the work in this course will be of a somewhat advf·nced nature, no one will be admitted who has not a thorough eleI'1entary knowledge of the common branches. Students who have ('')mpleted the Preparatory Course or its equivalent will be admitted without examination.

COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSES The Pacific Lutheran Academy offers two College Preparatory Courses: The Classical and the Luther College Preparatory Course. To enter any of these courses the student :must be at least four· teen years of age, and must shaw satisfactory evidence of possessing a thorOUg'h elementary knowledge of the common branches. Graduates of the public schools will be admitted to any of these courses without examination. Candidates for admission to any of these courses who lack the necessary preparation, may obtain the same in our Prepara tory Course. The length of time needed for this preparation will of course vary in the different cases, depending upon the student's pre vious krrowledge, as well as upon his mental ability and application to study.

SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRITING The uses of shorthand and typewriting have been greatly ex tended during the last ten years, and there is a steady demand for accomplis'hed stenographers ,a nd typewriters. To be able to pursue the subjects of shorthand and typewriting successfully a student must have a good common school education. A general knowledge of Englis:h, a good handwriting, and the ability to spell well and compose correctly are absolutely essential. A knowledge of bookk-eeping and regular routine of officeduUes, w.hile not absolutely necessary, will be found very helpful. The Cross Eclectic System of shorthand is taught. This is a system of shorthand WTiting by principles and rules having no excep tions and being almost without word signs. While It writes words more fully and yet w.ith less strokes than any other system, it has a steady, gradual, practical development. From the very beginning it was favorably received and Is now employed in all parts of the coun· try in commercial, legal and general reporting, and has fully estab lished its claim as being the briefest, Simplest, the most legible, and the easiest system to write. The work will be pursued according to the following plan: Fall Term Shorthand Spelling Grammar

HISTORY AND CIVICS All our institutions and many of our modes of action and habits of thought have come down to us from former generations. No conscious progress, no truly worthy reform can therefore be achieved without a knowledge of the relations which the present bears to the past. For this reason a very prominent place has been given to the study of history in the curriculum or the school. The History of Greece and Rome will be studied during the first year, and Medieval History, Modern History and the History of England will be studied during the second year. This will be fol路 lowed in the third year by an advanced course in the History and Civil Government of the United States. An elementary course in the History of the United States is offered in the Preparatory Course. This is especially adapted to the nee(~~ of such as are studying history for the first time.

Advanced Grammar.
This is a technical course in grammar and presupposes the com· pletion of our course in 'b eginning and intermedi'ate grammar, or its equivalent. The presentation will, as far as possible, be Inductive. It will take familiarity with English on the part of the student for granted, and lead him to observe, compare, and classify grwmmatiocal facts for himself, and guide him to the right Inferences. Bue'hler's text-book will be used. Orthoepy
It is the special aim of this slJlbject to make the student ,s o familiar
with the diacritical marks of Webster or Worcester, that, with a dic tionary in hand, he can in a moment assure himself of the ,correct pro· nunciatlon of :any English word. The study {)an be completed in one term. English Composition and Rhetoric.
It is a matter of the utmost importance to each man, in business
or in society, to be able to say or write exactly What he means. study of English composition or rhetoric helps him to do this.
The
English Literature.
The object of this study is to acquaint the student with the produc tions and characteristics of the most prominent writers in the realm of English literature. The following works will be studied: Shake· speare's Macbeth; Milton's L'Allegro, II Penseroro, Comus, and Lyci das ; Burke's Speech an Conciliation with America; Macaulay's Es says on Milton and Addison; Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and Julius Caesar ; Addison's Sir Roger de Coverley Papers; Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield; Coleridge's Ancient Mariner; Scott's Ivanhoe ; Carlyle's Essay on Bums ; Tennyson's Princess ; Lowell's Vision or Sir Launfal; George Elliot's Silas Marner.
MATHEMATICS Elementary Arithmetic.
The work in this class Is intended to give students in the Prepara· tory Course an Intelligent knowledge of the subject and a moderate power of independent thought. Advanced Arithmetic.
This course presupposes the completion of the Preparatory Course or Its equivalent. Spedal attention will be given to the development of the principles of the different subjects stUdied. A thorough mas tery of the subjects of fr,a ctions, the metric system, percentage and its applications, and mensuration, will be Insisted on. Algebra.
Three terms will be devoted to the study of elementary algebra, including the fund-a mentals, simple equations, factoring, fractions, Integral and fraotional simultaneous equations of the first degree, in volution and evolution, quadratic equations, the theory of exponents, ratio and proportion, and the binomial theorem. Plane and Solid Geometry.
Two terms will be devoted to the study of plane geometry, and one term to that of soUd geometry. Much of the work consists of orig' inal problems and constructions.
PACIFIC LUTHERAN ACADEMY
SCIENCES Political Geography
Political geography will be studied In the Preparatory Course. It wEI be the aim to give the student a fair acquaintance with the
lean.ing facts and principles of geography and to furnish him with
a good liasis for subsequent study. Physical Geography
Ph)sical geography will be studied in the Normal and College Preparatory Courses. The study of the text-book will be accom足 panied ane! suppl~mented by laboratory work and field study. Physics and Chemistry
The E'liucational value of physics and chemistry or in fact any natural sdence, does not consist in the so-called discovery of laws, nor ill the demoilstration of prinCiples by means of experiment ; but it consists rather. in the excellent training they give in attention to details, and in the cultivation of accuracy in the observation of the smallest changes, as well as In the ability to reason bacl{ from a set of particular phenomena to general laws, and in the power to express thought in precise language. The work will therefore con揃 sist of recitations, experiments and the solution of problems_ Each student is required to have a note-book in which to record the work done by him in the laboratory. Physi~logy
Physiology cannot be learned properly by mere book study. Actual experimentl! and actual observations are as necessary for illus足 trating principles in physiology as they are in botany, chemistry and physics. A certain amount of laboratory work will therefo'r e be required. Zoology
This work is designed to aid the student in getting a clear idea of the animal kingdom as a whole by the study or a few typical individuals. The study of structural and systematic zoology by means of the text-bool{ will be amply supplemented and illustrated by laboratory work. After devoting considerable time to the study of insects, the student takes up the crayfish, the earth worm, the clam, snail, snake, fish, frog, bird, and mammal. Botany
The aim of the work in botany is to give the student a gen足 eral knowledge of plant life. The study of the subject by means of the text-bool{ will be supplemented by field and laboratory studies of growing plants. Students are required to keep accurate notes and drawings of the plants examined. Psychology
This work will be of an elementary character and will deal with the plain facts of mind. It will lead the learner to look into his own mind, to analyze his own mental acts, and to discover for himself the capabilities of the soul. What am I? What can I do '? How shall I make the most of myself? These are questions which obtrude themselves on the young student. Psychology will lead him to find answers to these questions. The study of this subject has purposely been placed somewhat
AND BUSINESS COLLEGE
early in the course, namely, at the beginning of the second year. A student who can learn algebra, physiology, and rhetoric is ready for pSychology. Psychology Applied to Teaching.
The chief object of this work is to aid young men and women who are 'b ravely struggling to become educaUonalartists. Principles, illus· tr·a tionsand results are freely given. With these aids each tea.cher is left to work out the problem of school management for ·himself in his own way.
FOREIGN LANGUAGES Latin.
Two terms will be devoted to a thorough study of the elements of Latin grammar. For this work Collar & Daniell's Beginner's Book is used. When this Is completed the student takes up the study of Caesar's Commentaries, Cicero's Orations and Virgil's Aeneid. Frequent ex ercises ·a re given in com'position and on grammatical forms and con structions. Selections are committed to memory. Greek. In Greek the student spends two terms in becoming familiar with the declensions and conjugations. He is then prepared to read Xeno phon. Of this author the first three books are read. Selections are committed to memory. Norwegian-Danish.
The practical Importance of this 's tudy can scarcely be overesti mated. Ministers, teaohers and business men who are familiar with the Norwegian or Danish languages will for a long time be In demand in this section of the country. As a large number of our students possess a practical knowledge of these languages, the aim of the work in this class will be to teach them to speak and write them with accuracy and to acquaint them with the riches of their l1terature. German.
The course in German includes one term's work In acquiring the elements ot German grammar as outl1ned in Collar's Eysenbach, and two terms' work in reading easy German prose and poetry. The con versational method is employed.
OLD NORSE To the Norwegian, the Old Norse language and literature pos sess a pecul1ar interest, being the faithful record of the rel1gion, thoughts, and achievements of his forefathers. To understand him self well , he must learn to know his ancestors, and nowhere are they more graphically pictured than In the old sagas. But aside from this, the Old Norse language is well worthy of study. It is strong, rich, and well developed and has a noble and extensive literature, which compares very favorably with that of any country and age. For linguistic culture, Old Norse ranks very high, and, on account of Its close relationship to the Anglo-Saxon, is of great Importance In the study of the derivation, structure and growth of a large percentage of English words.

COMMERCIAL Penmanship.
In penmanship the right movement is taught,and the student is made to see the errors of his own wrIting. Speed, form and movement are deyeloped -a t the same time. By correct training through a well graded and systematic course, the average pupil acquires a neat, rapid and legible style of writing, which will be of great benefit to him in any vocation in life. Bookkeeping.
A knowledge of bookkeeping is generally conceded to be of con siderable value to all men, no matter what their occupations may be. Aside from the practical utility of the science, it also affords mental discipline of the highest order. It inculcates neatness, accuracy and system-acquirements which are very essential for success in life. The work is carried on according to the so-called class plan. Each student is required to learn thoroughly the lessons assigned the class from day to day. The length of the lessons will be determined by the average ability of the cla-ss. It has been found that the principles of b{)okkeepingcan be learned most effectively in this way. This method makes it difficult, or well·nigh impossible, for the student to rush through his work so hurriedly that he does not get time to assimilate what he learns, or to idle <away his time, worl{iing only when it suits his convenience-evils which -are very common in schools that employ the so-called individual method. The class plan does away with these ob jectionable features. By this method the qui-ck, active students who are often tempted to do superficial work, will be forced to master the subject, while the slow, plodding ones will be incited to study more diligently in order to hold their own in the class. All points not understood by the student will 'be thoroughly dis cussed and explained in dass, and no part of the work will be consid ered finis-h ed until it has been completely mastered. The course is based on Willi'a ms & Rogers' New Complete Book· keeping. It is simple and systematic, as well as -comprehensive. Easy tr-a nsactions are first taken up, and, step by step, the student advances to more difficult work. In this way -a number of different sets are mas tered, giving the student a complete view of the prinCiples employed in the various minds of bookkeeping. A suffi-cient number of classes will be conducted every term to accommodate all students. Business and Office Practice
When the student has completed the theory of bookkeeping he en ters a course in Business Practice. Here he has an opportunity to put his theoretical knowledge of 'bookkeeping to a practical test. He is required to write out -a great variety of business papers and documents, such as notes, drafts, checks, receipts, bills, leases, mortgages, articles of co-partnership, telegrams, etc. In fact, he carries on business just the way he should d{) it in actual life. lt is the aim of the school to make the course so broad and deep that a student who has completed it shall be able readlly to adapt him self to any ordinary system of single or double entry bookkeeping used in the business world. Business Law.
A Imowledge of the laws governing commercial transactions is of great value to anyone, but especially to the business man. Our course aims to give the student suell knowledge of the laws of business Q1at he may transact his business aff-airs in an intelligent manner.
AND BUSINESS COLLEGE Rapid Calculation.
A short period during each day is set aside for drills In adding long columns of figures. This is particularly for the benefit of the com· mercial students, but others may avail themselves of the opportunity. Commercial Arithmetic.
During the second year of the commercial course two terms will be devoted to a careful study of commercial <arithmetic. This is an ad· vanced class and is not intended for students requiring ,Instruction in the more elementary principles of arithmetic. It is presupposed that the stUdent has become thoroughly acquainted with these before he takes up commerci·a l arithmetic. While this work Is especially de signed ·f or the benefit of commercial students, it is nevertheless of such a nature that it can be pursued ·a dvantageously by those taking other courses.
MISCELLANEOUS Singing.
Five periods weekly throughout the entire year are devoted to singing. Special effort will ue made to teach the student to read music at sight. Church music and chorus work will ,be a special feature. Parliamentary Law.
The last half of the winter term will be devoted to the study of Lyon's Rul es of Order. The student will learn by actual practice how to organize and conduct public meetings, such as caucuses, school meetings, conventions, etc. Freehand Drawing.
The importance of this study in teaching habits of close and correct observation can scarcely be over·estimated. Daily lessons In this branch will ue given throughout the winter term. The work will consist mainly dn sketching from objects. Swedish Educationa,1 Gymnastics.
The functions of the heart and lungs are the fundamental functions of the body, upon which the well·being of all the other functions de pends. Swedish educational gymnastics aims to develop these func tions by a series of movements of the voluntary system.

This Includes instruction in all branches in any of the courses of tered by the school (except music and painting); it also entitles the student to the free use of the Ubrary and gymnasium.

The rooms are heated by steam, lighted by electriCity, and furnished with chairs, tables, bedsteads and wardrobes. Students furnish their own towels and bedclothes, including mattress. Suit able matresses may be bought from the janitor at cost. The P.acific Lutheran Academy is a boarding school, and no stu· dent will be allowed to room outside without special permission. Medical Attendance.
A physician's ,f ee of 75 cents per term or $2.00 per year is required of each student. This entitles the student to medical attendance throughout the entire term. The necessary medicine and nursing must be furnished at the expense of the student. Boarding.
The Pacific Lutheran Academy furnishes board at actual cOst. During the past year the students, under the supervision of the faculty, ha-ve conducted a boarding club. The club was managed by the stu dents themselves, who met at stated times to adopt rules, elect officers, hear reports, decide upon the kind of food wanted, and the like. The , club hired its own cook, waiters, etc. Any student may become a member of the club by signing its con· stitution and depositing with the treasurer the sum of $10.00 for the cash purchase of provisions for the next four weeks. At the end 01 every month of four weeks the actual cost of board is as-c ertained by the officers of the club, the amount due from each member is deduct ed from his depOSit, the balance standing to his credit for the next month. To this balance must then be adde ._ an amount sufficient to make the required deposit of $10 .00 at the beginning of the next month, and so on. Under this arrangement good and substantial board was fur· nished at the exceedingly low average price of $l.80 per week, or about 8% cents per meal.

PACIFIC LUTHERAN ACADEMY
During the coming school-year the club wlll be conducted on a plan somewhat similar to the one which was followed last year. Each member of the club will be required to pay 10 cents per week for tile use of stove, dishes and other kitchen furnishings.

To this must ue added the cost of washing, books and stationery. The cost of washing cannot be accurately determined, as it varies to some extent with the tastes and habits of the individual. The cost o! books depends upon the kind and number of branches the studell1 selects. On an average the text-books will cost from $l.50 to $3.00 per term. General Regulations.
Only such rules have been adopted as have been found necessar:l' for the promotion of the highest interests of the students. The school, on admitting students, does so with the express understanding that they will cheerfully comply with the rules and regulations of the school in every respect. -a nd deport themselv(i!s as it befits Christian men and women. All students are required tu submit to the pI'incipal an approved course of study before beginning the work of the term, and no student will be allowed to drop a study or be absent from his classes without special permission. All students are required to keep their rooms clean and tidy, to abstain from the use of tobacco in any form within and about the build ing, and punctually to observe the hours of study, recitation, etc., laid down by the school. All students are required to be present at the daily devotional ex ercises held in chapel, unless excused by special arrangement. The young women living in the school are under the immedi ate supervision of the preceptress who, in each case, stands in the place of the absent mothers. Each student is held responsible for any damage done to his room or its furniture. An indemndty fee of $2.00 must be deposited with the principal. This fee will be returned to the student, when he leaves, less the cost for repairing any damage he may have done to the prop erty of the school. The school provides regular exercises in freehand gymnastics, in which all students are required to partake. Students are expected to employ their time to the best possible advantage, and to avoid, as far as possible, everything whi ch has a ten dency to interfere with legitimate school-work. The parti cipation in dan cing or card-playing, the visiting of saloons, gambling-houses or other places of a questionable nature, and the use of intoxicating liquors are th erefore strictly forbidden. A n y stud en t who shall have been found guilty of doing any of these things will be summarily dis missed.

A record of attendance, recitation and deportment is kept, a copy of which Is sent to parents or guardians who request it, at the end of each term or oftener. Examinations are held at the close of each term. A final grade of at least 75 per cent must be attained each term in each separate study pursued to entitle the student to pass. A student who nas satisfactorily completed the full work prescribed in any course of study will receive a diploma. A diploma fee or $2.5U is ·charged.
DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC The Pacific Lutheran Academy recognizes the great importance of music as a means of culture and refinement and aims to fur· nish high· grade instruction at a very moderate price. In common with all the other courses of the school, the work in music has been arranged on the progressive plan. Great import· ance is therefore attached to a thorough mastery of the fundamental prinCiples involved before paSSing on to more advanced work. Piano
A gre;tt deal has been accomplished of late years in the study of the arm, wrist, knuckles, and tingers, involving many new motions and combinations for controlling touch and technic. Proper atten tion to these important details at the outset will save the student much misdirected effort and needless disappointment later on. The Leschetisky method is exclusively employed. This method is used by many of the best piano teachers in this country and in Europe, and counts among its representatives such Illustrious pianists as Paderewsky and Gabrillowitch. 1.
