My You've FRIENDs:-On behalf OF
the Board Of Trustees am deputed to
express their qualification at Witnessing
this, your first, public parade Of this SEES.
zion OF the Institute. am sure that in
doing so l am not only expressing the
interest which all here present feel in
your progress, but likewise the interest
and pride of this whole community in
your success. We all congratulate our.
selves that wo have at last school of
this character in Wheeling. We are
glad that the Government has enabled
us to afford you the advantages which
you enjoy at this school, for not only
education but wholesome discipline.
The great parade to-day has been credit
able to your progress thus far in military
drill and We look forward confidently to
atill greater progress in the future. The
Government is aiding such schools as
yours all over this country, not for the
purpose Of raising up an aggressive sol.
diery as in Europe, but for the purpose
OF aGording the youth of our country
the benefit OF strict discipline and incul.
eating recognition Of obedience to law
and order as wholesome principle in
society. IL 4. y-+-5} flall,
l am glad to hear from our teachers
such encouraging reports in regard to
your appreciation Of the advantages
which you enjoy. Your school instead
Of being an objection aud an annoyance
to the people Of the neighborhood has
become noticeable for your correct and
manly department.. Many boys who 60
to school feel that q portion of their time
is to be given up to boyish pranks. This
is the view Of the ordinary school boy.
But youa taught differently here,
You are subjected to discipline that
is intended to eliminate this idea very
early. This discipline may appear to
some OF you rather irksome at first, but
you will be thankful for it in future
years. There is not q person here pres
ent to-day who does not regret his or
her misspent time Mt school,. All would
now be glad If they had been subjected
to severer discipline. The uniforms you
wear are your distinguishing mark in this
community. They are reminders OF
what you owe to yourselves and to
Others in the way OF proper and manly
conduct; More is expected OF you than,
OF the ordinary boy at ordinary schools.
I am glad to believe that you will not
disappoint this expectation Of your
friends and relatives. I trust that YOU
will do everything in your power to
make this Institute an honor to YOUR
selves and to this community, and that
when we come here from time to time
to witness your progress we shall
hear the Rame good reports OF you that
we hear to-day, and be as much gratified
as we have been to-day at the evidences
Of your advancement in every respect.
Lieutenant Brannersreuther took
charge Of the military department Of
Linsly January l2, 1890, and at that
time the military discipline was first put
in force. The work OF the class yester.
day shows how proficient the boys could
be made in even so short time. There
are lls boys in the school, and yester-
day two were incapaGtated, making 1lG
in line. Lieutenant Brannersreuther
commanded the battalion, composed Of
three companies. The line officers are
Captains, T. B. Sweeney, Robert Ewing
and Samuel Harper; First Leutenants,
Strong, Ncsbitt and Ebeling, and Second
Lieutenants, Norton, Freese and Kraft.
OF the whole number who were in line
yesterday, all are new pupils who came
in at the beginning OF the term except
thirty.tive. The boys marched very
creditably, and the several hundred peo-
ple who thronged the sidewalks about
the drill ground showed their apprecia-
ton and we'll wishes by liberal ap olause.
