CIVIL ENGINEERING
Will be thoroughly and practically taught in
the Western Military Institute--the Professor,
Col. Morgan, being one of the most skful and
experienced Engineers in the United States. All
the instruments connected with that department
have been procured at considerable cost, and Of the
best quality.
The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating
that he is offered sS75 per month, for COM
petent assistant Engineers. One of bis former
pupils receives at this time, So sou per annum, as
Principal Engineer of railroad now under con-
structon in Kentucky-whilst others of the same
class are receiving in different parts of the United
States, $4,000, 81 500, or 81 200 year as AS
slstant Engineers.
The time is rapidly approaching when there
will be great demand for such as have been pre-
pared, for that vocation, at the Western Military
Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that
they will readily command 81 900 or s, 500 per
annum. Every man of observation must see that
the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give
birth to hundreds of others, tributary to them.
The rapid advancement of our whole country, and
the eagerness of our people for exploring the hid
den resources of the new States and the newly
acquired territory, will give ample scope for ages
to come, to the skill and enterprise of the Engi-
neer the Geologist. the Mineraogist, the Surveyor
and the Architect. Young men who have an
aptitude for the Mathematical and Physical sci
ences, will have wide field opened to them for
engaging in an honorable, heathful and ucra-
tive pursuit, for which they may be thoroughly
and practically qualified, in short time, and at
small expense, at the Western Military Institute.
