For Young GentIomen-LinSIy Institute
and What Educational Advantages It
Offers.
If there is anything that Wheeling
can point to with pride, in an educa-
tional way, it is the Linsly Institute in
its present state of completeness and
equipment. Its existence to-day, it is
true, is due to the muni6cent liberality
Of its founder Noah Linsly, yet its stan
dard has been raised to degree that its
originator never dreamed OF. This has
been brought about by the untiring
efforts OF its instructors and the liberal
ity OF its trustees. The scope OF the
school has been 30 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-tne
teachers and the graduates. II teach
or does not teach but merely hears
Rotations, the scholar will be poor
work of art, from an educational point
ofvicw, 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 ls IN the
text books by thorough instruction and
drill, but to impart the knowledge in
such a manner that it will leave an i'm.
preston on the mind not for day, but
Tor all time. The method OF instruction
in this institution is not exemplitied by
the mere attainment OF diploma, but
by the fitness OF the graduate TO enter
upon any walk in life 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 char.
acter in the country. These are not
idle assertions, but are multiplied facts
verified by the careers OF students VINO
have left the Linsly Institute ana nave
made their mark in commercial and
professional paths.
It would geem like adulatlon ana
flattery to continue the eulogy on the
peculiar province Of this school in fit
ting young gentlemen for the battle Of
life, but many other things can be said
of il that will still further recommend
it to the patronage OF parents in thls!
city and surrounding towns. One OF
the most striking is the military de-
partlnent OF the institute. II anything
is important in the education Of boy,
it is a 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 a new
armory, and by act OF Congress is pro-
yided 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 Linsly
Institute physical culture is attended
to without interfering with the training
of the mind, for without sound body
the brain must necessarily sympathize
and suffer accordingly. 10 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 very.
important addition to the equipment OF
the institution, and it's benefits cannot
be overeshmated by the patrons OF the
school.
The instructors for next year are as
follows:
John NJ. Birch, Phi. D., principal.
Lieut. William H. Braunersreuther,
United States Navy.
A. S. Bell, B. S.
Charles S. Brilles. A. B.
+. H. 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 gradu-
ates of the Wooster, Ohio, University
Of the class of 1892.
It is gratifying to know that the out
look for the coming year is fattering,
and successful as was the last year the
next one promises an increased attend
ance. Its reputation has gone abroad,
and it's 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 ]. Jones, cashier of the Exchange
Bank, secretary Of the Board of Trustees,
or John N. Birch, principal, Wheeling,
W. Va. The fall term begins Monday,
September 8.
