THE LlNsLx INSTITUTE.
The Superior Educational Advantages 1t
Offers to the Youlh-Improvements


that its originator never dreamed OF.
This has been brought about by the I'M
firing efforts Of its instructors and the
liberality of'its trustees. The scope OF
the school has been so enlarged OF late
years that students graduating from the
school enter the freshman classes OF
many of the highest colleges OF the
country. This fact speaks for itself In
more eloquent terms, and In more
practical manner than post graduate
references or long list OF influential
trustees. There are two things that
make the reputation OF school-the
teachers and the graduates. II teach
er does not teach but merely hears rec
itations, the scholar will be poor work
of art, from an educational point OF
view, when turned loose from school.
In the Linsly Institute it has been the
aim OF the instructors to give the pupil
not only the benefit OF all that is in the
text books by thorough instruction and
drill, but to impars the knowledge In
such a manner that it will leave an i'm
preston on the mind not for day, but
for all time. The method of instrue-
ton In this institution is not exempt
fed by the mere attainment OF diplo'
ma, but by the fitness OF the graduate
to enter upon any walk in lie he may
choose with confidence that he has
the best groundwork upon which TO
build the superstructure of his success
that can be obtained in any school OF
like character in the country. These
are not idle assertions, but are multi
piled facts verified by the careers OF
students who have left the Linsly lnStl-
tute and have made their mark in COM
mercial and professional paths.
1t would seem like adulation and Hat
terry 10 continue the euogy on the pecu-
liar province OF this school in fitting
young gentlemen for the battle OF lie,
but many other things can be said OF 1t
that will still further recommend it to
the patronage Of parents in this CITY
and surrounding towns. One OF the
most striking is the military depart
ment of the institute. If anything Is
important in the education of a boy, 1t
is proper beginning. Military drill is
something more-far more than mere
exercise. 1t teaches discipline, honor
and manliness, and inculcates respect
for authority, encourages neatness In
dress and gives a polish TO the student
he could not obtain by any other means.
The Institute has recently added new
armOry, and by act of Congress is pro-
viied with military instructor detailed
from the United States Naval Service.
In many schools the mental training
is often accomplished at the expense OF
physical exhaustion. In the Dlnsly
Institute physical culture is attended
TO without interfering with the training
OF the mind, for without a sound body
the brain must necessarily Sympathize
and suffer accordingly. To give robust
ness to the body and train the growing
muscles, a gymnaStiC apparatus has been
put in, and competent teacher will
give daily instructions. This is a very
important addition to the equipment OF
the institution, and its benefits cannot
be overestimated by the patrons Of the
school.
The instructors for next year are as
follows:
John NJ. Birch, Phi. D., principal.
Leut. William A. Braunersreuther,
United States Navy.
A. s. Bell, B. S.
Charles S. BrileS, A. B.
f. II. Nesbitt, b. S.
In addition to his other duties Lieu
tenant Braunersreuther will have
charge Of the department OF modern
languages. MeSSrs. Brilles and Nesbitt
are graduates of the Wooster, Ohio,
University of the class of 1892.
1t is gratifying to know that the out
look for the coming year is tlattering,
and successful as was the last year the
next one promises an increased attend
ance. It's reputation has gone abroad,
and its fame will increase with its years
so long as the present policy is adhered
to. The past success, indeed, speaks
volumes for its continued usefulness in
the future. Persons desiring further
particulars in regard TO the scope and
management of the institution. can call
on or address Hon. A. w. Campbell,
President of the. Board of Trustees;
John j. Jones, cashier of the Exchange
Bank, secretary Of the Board OF
Trustees, or John NJ. Birch, principal,
Wheeling, w. Va. The fall term be-
gins Monday, September 5.
