September l.
That popular and successful institu-
ton, the Linsly Institute, Is now 10 the
eightieth year Of its existence, ana Win
every succeeding year it grows more
| lukty ana useful In its mission TO edu-
cate the youth Of the city Of Wheeling
| and vicinity. As the full term opens on
| Monday next, September 4, recltal Oh
some OF the advantages it offers over
other schools OF its class may not De
amiss. The reputation Of the school
| has become quite extended OF late years
owing TO the fact that graduates OF the
Linsly are received on certificates at
many of the foremost universities and
colleges OF the country, and others have
been ad United on examination.
twill be seen from this that the
school has attained 10 grace on
which Wheeling and the State may well
be congratulated.
Briefly, its design is to prepare boys
for college, and to furnish a complete
academical course for those who do not
propose 10 take full course OF study,
the curriculum, embracing the English
| branches, the classics and modern IAN
euapes, and the instruction In each de-
partmenU being given by teachers OF ex-
perience and graduates OF college.
There is nothing more important IN
connection with the training OF the
mind of the youth than that his physical
condition should progress with the
growth of his mental powers, for with
out proper exersise the one Will suner
for the advancement of the other, and
here is where the cadet corps OF the
Linsly Institute offers superior advan-
taees over other schools. This depart
mept is under the personal direction OF
an officer of the United States navy,
and the advantages that accrue to the
student are discipline, respect for au-
thority, and polish OF manner not 9TH
erwise attainable. This drill Is compul-
sorry with every student, save those who
are physically disqualified. This branch
of study cannot be too highly recon-
mended nor It's benefits, both moral and
physical, overestimated. The gentleman
| in charge of this department, who has
| been detailed by the United States gov
| eminent, is Lieut.. w. G. 2. Muir, whose
record at the naval department is OF the
highest character. He has been an In
structor in the torpedo service and as
sistant professor at the naval ACADEMY.
In addition to the drill, there are
| gymnastlc exercises In the spacious
armory, the most modern appliances for
the development OF physical culture
being used, in charge Of competent In
structor. This feature is one OF the
most valuable adjuncts to the proper
mental training and education OF the
youth of to-day, as the results attained
in this school unquestionably show.
These features alone make the Linsly
Institute pre-eminently the best school
for boys in this section Of the country,
and one which the citizens OF Wheeling
and vicinity point to naturally with
feelings Of pride. Being easy OF access
and having the railr ad facilities, now
possessed by Wheeling, this school Of
fers special advantages TO residents OF
neighboring towns.
