Opening of LtnsIy Institute Monday,
September 4.
That popular and successful insttu'
ton the Linsly Institute is now in the
eightieth year OF its existence, and with
every succeeding year it grows more
lusty and useful in its mission to edu'
cate the youth OF the city OF Wheeling
and vicinity. AS the iall term opens on
Monday next, September 4, recital OF
some OF the advantages it otegsOyerothcr

The reputation ot the school has be.
come quite extended OF late years owing
to the TACT that graduates OF the Liusly

the foremost universities and colleges
OF the country, aud others have been

school has attained TO grade on
which Wheeling and the State may
well be congratulated.

for college, and to furnish Il complete
acudemiCal course for those who do not
propose to takea fnll course OF study,
the curriculum, embracing the English
branches, the classics and modern
languages, aud tho Instruction in each
department being given by teachers OF
experience and graduates OF college.
There is nothing more important in
connection with the training Of the
mind OF the youth than that his phys
iCal condition should progress with the
growth OF his mental powers, Tor With
out proper exercise the one will suffer
Tor the advancement OF the other, and
here is where tho cadet corps OF the
Lin5ly Institute oilers superior adYan-
tagGs over other schools. This depart
lnent il under the personal direction OF
an officer OF the United States navy,
and the advantages that accrue to the
student are discipline, respect Tor Nu-
thority, and Il polish OF manner not
otherwise attainabe. This drill is com
pUlsOry with every student, save those
who arc physically disqualified This
branch OF study cannot be too highly
recommended nor its benefits, both
moral aud physical, ovGrestimGtcd.
The gentleman in charge Of this depart
ment, who has been detailed by the
United States government, is Lieut. W.
