THE INDIANA SCHOOL BOOK CO.,

Who have a contract for supplying text-books to the Public
Schools of the State, to better accommodate the patrons of
the schools, have given their consent that all their books may
be handled and sold by merchants and dealers. Township
Trustees and other school officers should make an earnest ef-
fort to get dealers to sell the adopted books. This plan bet-
ter accommodates patrons and school children; besides, it
saves time and labor to the Trustee, and relieves him of all
the care of the books, as well as saving him from making
quarterly reports of his book sales.

By September 4, 1900, the opening of the 28th year of the School.

THE NEW SCIENCE HALL, 60 x 120 feet and three stories high, will be completed and equipped with the latest and most approved apparatus.

THE LIBRARY ROOM now 50 x 60 feet and containing 10,000 volumes, will be made one-third larger and 3,000 of the latest and best reference books will be added.

DORMITORY. More than 100 new rooms for students will be in readiness and a new dining hall will be erected.

THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT, now the largest and best equipped in the land, will be greatly improved.

INSTRUCTORS. Four additional instructors will be added to the Faculty.

THE SCHOOL WILL ENTER UPON THE WORK OF THE NEW YEAR WITH LARGELY INCREASED FACILITIES, yet the expense to the student will be no greater than heretofore. The institution is equipped in every way for doing thorough work in the folllowing DEPARTMENTS: Preparatory, Teachers, Psychology and Pedagogy, Kindergarten, Penmanship, Scientific, Classic, Higher English, Biology, Geology and Mineralogy, Engineering, Elocution and Oratory, Pharmacy, Medical, Fine Art, Law, Commercial, Phonography and Typewriting, Review. Each Department is a School Within Itself, and while there are other departments, yet this is none the less a special training school for teachers, or a special school of Pharmacy, or a special school of Oratory, etc., etc.

TEACHERS AND THOSE PREPARING TO TEACH have here an opportunity of entering a greater variety of classes in professional work than at most special schools, and with reference to the high grade of work done we refer to any educator who is familiar with the school, whether he be a patron of it or not.

VALUE OF CREDITS. The credits received here are accepted at the best universities everywhere. As a result of the many advantages offered, the Institution has grown to be the largest Normal School in the United States and offers, for one tuition, a greater list of subjects from which students may select their work than any other school. While the attendance is large, yet the classes are so sectioned that each student has every advantage of reciting that he could have if the enrollment did not exceed 300.

EXPENSES ARE MUCH LESS HERE THAN AT ANY OTHER SCHOOL offering anything like equal advantages. One tuition, $10 partments, excepting private lessons in music. $1.90 per week. All letters promptly answered.

per term, covers all the work of the different deGood board and well-furnished room, $1.50 to Catalogue mailed free. Address

WHAT NEXT?

There is a point beyond which the tired brain and worn-out nerves seem to lose all power of recuperation, and when that point is reached the only end is insanity and death. If you are nervous, restless, irritable of temper, have no appetite for food and can not sleep at night; if you are despondent, melancholy, have no ambition for work and no ability to concentrate your thoughts, ask yourself that question, "What next?" There is one thing you can do that will bring the answer you so much desire. If you will begin at once with Dr. Miles' Nervine it will give you the rest, the quiet, the sweet, refreshing sleep that leads to life renewed and health restored.

"For six months I was so nervous that I could not sleep in bed, and would sometimes have to be carried out of doors to get fresh air. Then my body would get numb, and perspiration would drip from every pore. I would have spells of blues and melancholy, frequently breaking out with sobs and crying. The best doctors here could give me no relief, and seeing an advertisement of Dr. Miles' Nervine, I decided to try it. After using it two days I went to bed and slept all night-the first time in nearly a year. Then a load seemed to fall from my shoulders, and from that day I continued to get strong until my health was completely restored."
