A NOBEL SCHOOL.
Success of the Linsly Instituto-The many
Advantages offered to Students.


Advantages Offered to Students.
Nothing speaks more eloquently for
city, town or village than successfully
conducted school, and for this reason
Wheeling should be proud OF the exist
ence of the Linsly Institute. Ondel
the present management 1t has taRen
front rank among the schools OF us
class in the country and is to-day the
best institution of learning for boys IN
the State. This statement Is not an
idle assertion prompted by local prIue,
or prejudice against other schools, ouG
is proven by the work ii has done anu
the character and culture OF students IL
has turned out.
The school has two advantages over
other institutes in its military training
and it's physical culture department.
Educational instructors OF late years
have become strong advocates OF gym
nastic exercise on the part or studenIs'
for in building up the body the student
is able 10 do more satisfactory WORK
than If his whole time was devoted 10
study and recitation. One OF the In
structors told the writer that the results
obtained through work in the gYAns'
SUM was astonishing. Before the gym
nasium was constructed many OF the
students were troubled with headaches
and other ailments due TO lack OF
proper exercise, but now there Is no
complaint on that score. De also Sa'u
that those students who were becoming
good athletes were the most proficient
in their studies. So it will be seen on
l. . hot III n q
been one of the most invaluable add
tions made to the school. The exercise
is made compulsory on the part OF the
students, who are divided into classes
and are under the care Of competent
instructor. The gymnasium IS large
! huilding in the rear Of the schooi
prouer, and is fitted up with all the
modern appliances used in the best
physical culture schools Of to-day.
Another important feature OF instruc-
| ton in this school is the military
branch. Every student is required to
drill unless excused for physical rea-
sons. This daily military drill teaches
promptness, obedience and respect for
superiors, and self-respect. 1t also
! puts the young men on their mettle ana
! gives them self reliance that coulu
not be obtained by any other method.
| besides intoxicating habits Of personal
! neatness and gentlemanly conduct. The
| discipline enforced in this branch OF
! the school Is worth nearly "a much to
| the student as anything else be learns.
The instruction in this department
is under the efficient supervision OF
! Lieut.. William BrauRersreuther, OF the
| United States Navy, who has been de-
tailed by the national government.
Taking the military and gymnastlc
features. enumerated together with the
thorough instruction impaired by
competent faculty IN the academic de-
| partnent, the school offers advantages
10 the young man seeking an education
enjoyed by no other institution In the
/ State. or localities In other States With
/ in the vicinity of Wheeling.
The point OF all this is that sound
| body is the prerequisite Of sound
/ mind.
The faculty OF the institute is COM
/ posed of the following distinguished
( educators:
John NJ. Birch, Phi. D., principal,
| professor of Latin and Greek; Lieut..
! VIM. Braunersreuther, L. 5. n, proies-

The present term has been most
! successful one, over one hundred and

| prospects Tor an increased attendance
during the new year are bright indeed.
