Opening of Linsiy Institute, Monday, sep
TENDER 4
That popular and successful institu-
ton. the Linsly Institute, is now In the
eightieth year of its existence, and with
every succeeding year 1t grows more
lusty and useful in it's mission to edu-
cate the youth of the city of Wheeling
and vicinity. As the fall term opens on
Monday next, September 4, recital OF
some of the advantages it offers over
other schools of It's class may not be
amiss. The reputation Of the school
has become quite extended OF lie years
owing to the fact that graduates OF the
Lipsly are received on certificates at
many of the foremost universities and
colleges Of the country, and others have
been admitted on examination.
1t will be seen from this that the
school has attained to grade on
which Wheeling and the State may
we'll be congratulated.
Briefly. It's design is to prepare boys
for college. and to furnish complete
academical course for those who do not
propose to take full course OF study,
the curriculum, embracing the English
branches, the classics and modern Ian
guages. and the instruction In each de-
partment being given by teachers OF ex-
perjeuce and graduates of college.
There is nothing more important In
connection with the training Of the
mind of the youth than that his physi-
cal condition should progress with the
growth of the mental powers, for with
out proper exercise the one will suner
for the advancement OF the other, and
and here is where the cardet corps or
the Linsly Institute offers superior ad-
yantages over other schools. This de-
partment is under the personal direc-
ton OF an officer Of the United States
navy, and the advantages that accrue
to the student are discipline, respect for
authority, and polish of manner not ON
erwise attainable. This drill Is compul-
sorry with every student, save those VINO
are physically disqualified. This oranch
of study cannot be too highly recon-
mended nor it's benefits, both moral ana
physical, overestimated. The gentle
man in charge Of this department, who
has been detailed by the United States
government, is Lieutenant w. Z. Z.
Muir, whose record at the naval de-
partment is of the highest character.
He has been an instructor in the tor
pedo service and assistant professor Of
the naval academy.
In addition to the drill, there are
gymnastic exercises in the spacious arm
ory, the most modern appliances for the
development of physical culture being
used, in charge of competent instruct
or. 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 lnstl-
tute prominently the best school Tor
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 railroad facilities, nov
possessed by Wheeling, this schook>of-
fers special advantages to residents OF
neighborinR towns. -
