cadets then having full liberty until

who have been out must report in

The school life at Wentworth is
OF the highest type; the instructors
are all men Of good character and
fine examples for any young man to
follow. No instructor teaches more
than one or two subjects, thus being
able to give his entire time and at
tention to his subjects, Every cadet
must have monthly average of 80
in all studies or his privileges are
taken away until he can bring his
average up to the required standard.
The special privileges granted to
those having general average in all
studies, including department, of 80.
are to call on young lady friend,
approved by the commodant, thus
keeping the cadets from any but the
best homes; one evening off in
every week, not including Saturday
and Sunday evening, which all cadets
have off; attending not more than
one show every two week. If any
cadet falls below the average three
consecutive months he is expelled
from school.
The athletic life at Wentworth is
even keener than, that of a univer-
sity. as every cadet is required to
take some form of athletic exercise
and every one tries to outdo his fell
low student. AS every Cadet is re-
quired to take at least thirty minutes
exercise in the gymnasium or on the
field each day, they soon become
well built young men, for to have
strong mind one must have a strong
BODY. Every department Of athletics
has one or more coaches, whose duty
it is to see that no cadet overworks
himself and also to see that each ca
det takes certain amount of exer-
else. | have seen young men enter
school who were very weak physical
ly ,and with no other ambition than
to lay around the barracks or run the
streets. But such men soon take an
interest in athletics and try to cult
vate an athletic bearing as their fell
low students are always roasting
them for being SO lazy and not able
to do ANYTHING in the Gym. Every
student who belongs to team of any
kind must have a monthly average
in all studies of 85. No matter how
good player he may be, if he does
not have his studies up to the
average he is taken of the team.
thus keeping all students who enter
athletics up in their studies as no
man cares to be put off the team af-
ter he has gained the coveted place.
The rules at Wentworth are very
strict, but if a student keeps up in
his studies and carries himself as a
gentleman he can enjoy all the pri-
velages of attending a university.
This strict form of discipline is man
tanned for the purpose of teaching
him to respect the rights of others
and to cultivate a strong mind. If
any student is inclined to be unruly
and is continually disobeying the or
der and rules he is requested to pack
his trunk and leave, as there are
plenty OF young men trying to gain
admission who will respect the rules. !
