Advantages offered to students.
Nothing speaks more eloQuently for a
city, town or village than a successfully
conducted school, and for this reason
/ Wheeling should be proud OF the exist
ence OF the Linsly Institute. Under
I the present management it has taken a
front rank among the schools OF It's
class in the country, and is to-day the
hest institution of learning for boys In
thu State. This statement is not an
idle assertion prompted by local pride.
or prejudice against other schools, but
is proven by the work IL has done and
the character and culture or students II
has turned out.
The school has two advantages over
other institutes In its military training
and its physical culture department.
Educational instructors OF late years
have become strong advocates OF gym
nastic exercise on the part OF students;
for 10 building up the body the student
is able TO do more satisfactory work
than il his whole time was devoted to
study and recitation. One Of the in
structOrs told the writer that the results
obtained through work In the gymna-
sium was astonishing. Before the gym
nasiun was constructed many or the
students were troubled with headaches
and other ailments due to lack OF
DroDar exercise, but now there is no
complaint on that score. He also sal
that those students who were becoming
good athletes were the most proficient
In their studies. So 1t will be seen on
this testimony that the gymnasium has
beea one of the most invaluable addi-
tions made TO the school. The exercise
Is made compulsory on the part of the
students, who are divided into classes
and are under the care OF competent
/ instructor. The gymnasium it large
building I'm the rear'Of the school proper,
and is fitted up with all the modern ap-
Diances used in the best physical cnl-
ture schools of to-day.
Another important feature OF In
struction in this school is the military
branch. Every student is required to
drill unless excused for physical rea-
sons. This daily military drill teaches
/ promptneSS, obedience and respect for
superiors, and self-respect. 1t also
puts the young men on their mettle
I and gives them q self reliance that
could not be obtained by any other
method, besides intoxicating habits OF
personal neatness and gentlemanly con-
duct. The discipline enforced in this
/ branch of the school is worth nearly as
much TO the students as anything else
/ he learns.
The instruction in this department Is
under the efficient supervision of Lieut..
/ William BraunerSreuther, Of the United
/ States Navy, who has been detailed by
the national government.
Taking the military and gymnastic
10 cures, enumerated together with the
thorough instruction impaired by g
cOm a,ent faculty in the academic de-
partment, the school offers advantages
T. the Young man seeking an education
epioved by no other institution in the
/ state, or localities in other States with
in the vicinity of Wheeling.
The point Of all this is that sound
body is the prerequisite OF sound
mind.
The faculty of the Institute is com
posed OF the following distinguished
educators:
John NJ. Birch, Phi. D., principal, pro-
fessOr OF Latin and Greek; Lieut.. VIM

successful one, over one hundred and
