I njHE Academy M its oi%in in thedcnre I of Mr. Stephen G. Weniworth to erect a moniunent to the memofy of his deoeaaed son, WiUiam Wentworth. In the year 1880 a sttitable hinklii for a day achoolvas pmchsKd, and in September of the same year the doors were opened for students. B. L. Hnbson, now of the McCor- mick Theological Seminary, was chos- en as principal, and the present super- intendent was selected as his associate. In April, 188 1, a charter was secured, ;in(l the ' -rhi ' l w.i hi irizcd to confer such degrees and marks ui disiiiiciioii ah .uc usually granted by literary institutions. A board of seven trustees was appointed, consisting of members of the diflerent Protcstnit churches of Lexington. ' At the end of the first year Mr. Hobson retired, to enter the ministry, and the present Snperintendent, who has ever since been at the head of the 8du)olf was left in charge During the second year the mili- tary feature was added, roakii this the pioneer of military sdioob in the Missouri River VaOey. It was toon deemed ad- visable to make the school a biiarding school, and the liberality of the founder at once provided a suitable buflding. This build- ing: soon provtrtl inadequate for the increastog patronage, and Mr Went worth donated the present grounds and boikfings, then staniling. Through Ii.islcrinjj can- d the IouikIi.t and the lilx;rality ol the cilizin. ui Ltxinijton and Lalayrllc county, im|)rove- ments have been inadea the needs of the iichool have demanded. The school has steadily grown in public iiivor as its students have gone forth mto public Ufe or to distinguish themselves in univer- sties for which it prepared them. Several univeraities in the East and in the West have recognized the merit its work by oflering free scholatBhips to its graduates and to receive them without fiirther exanination. The present management has a lease of tlurty five years on the adiool, and, havii conducted it through the stmggles of its youth, feels warranted in bdle v ing that the tame sucoev wSl attend it in the fotwe as in the post Pf ai3 of tBe fiefioof . It is the purpose of the [iresent management of this school to use those methods which will develop most successfoU the ui- tellectual, mond and physical powers of the students. To insure the best mental training, none but men of liberal and thorough education and of successful expenence in teaching are employed. No expense lias been spared in securing the best mechanical aids for instruction, such as chemical ami physical apparatus, maps, charts, mathematical mslruments, etc. That correct moral and religious instruction may be given, the teachers are required to 14 WEMTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY. be Qirisdan men. iii«aibers in good standing: of some Protestant ebiirch.

Washini ton and I-ec Univer- sity of Virginia has recognized us by oflering the scholarship mentioned elsewhere. This is the oldest military school in the State of Missouri. The military idea is growing, and many schods are adopting the feature. Its full benefits, however, cannot be realized in any but a boarding schod, where the studei are all together, and where iheir rising, retiring, assembling lor meab ud stody their care WBMTWORTH lOUTAST ACADBMY. 25 for their rf)Oins aii l ilrcss, ami in liict all their duties, are regii- latpcl hythe milit.«ry reijiiirenuMits. For twelve years we have had tliis feature in the school, and from ii wc have derived most gratityinj; results. We have ineorporalcd it, not for the purpose of Irainiu] our pupils for military life, but on ftCOOttnt of the many advantages derived Orom it in school goveroment, and on ikcooont of the many benefits whtdi our students obtain from the system. It consumes no time that would otherwise be devoted to study, as the hours used for k would in other schools be given to recreation. To sum up a few (tf the many reasons for ad ittng the mflio tary feature we brieve: ist. That it oootributes to dilij ence in st udy. The best men in the drill, ia a rule, are the best in their studies. 2nd. Tliat it contributes to j food behavior. The penalties are of a rlij ' nifletl ( h.-iracter; and while well raded according to the nrtense, and sonie r f them severe, they are not such as to crush the spirit of a boy. Beinv reco ni ed as a part i f the niititary discipline, they are received without the i rotests that ait iicquenlly made a -ain t penallicii ijiilicted in school. 3rd. It cultivates the habit of immediate, implicit and im- questionii obedience to r tfoUy constituted authority; also habits of order, neatness, punctuality and sdf-reEance. 4th. The drill is fine physical exercise, espedally for boys who are m the phuHc state. Bent forms may be straightened, hdlow dtests may be developed, an erect carnage and a manly address may be acquired, and health promoted. 5th. The principal of self-govemment is thoroughly brought out.

While the military feature was introduced primarily k r the advantaj i.s just mentioned, every eftort is made, consistent ulh other d ities, to bring it to the highest degree of perfection as regards proficient in all the detdJb of the system, that every cadet may have a feeling of pride in hk mock. For infeuttry drill we ose the Sfffingfield cadet rifle with ac comiMuiyii) outfit. These weie suppUed by the State.

Our gynina.siuni, foot ball and ha e bail gunies and ticld sports are directed by one of our regular instroctors who, ior some years was a leader in the gymnaflum of one of the eastern univereities. Our students are eocours to indulge in these sports to a reasonable extent, bat we discourage professional athletics and any tendency to make physical devdopment take precedence over the h er aims of a true edttcatioo. A room hse been set apart for the use of stodeito as a read- ing room, to which they have access daring all recreation hours, A library of q ecfal)y selected books supplemented by the Gov- ernment puli cations, especially those ot the Depaitfflent of Ed ucation, is accessiUe to our students.

Q e of the most noted features of our work during the past year was the inauguration of amoot% school journal, pubiyted fay the cadets under the direct of one of tke tnstmctors. WENTWORTU MILITA V ACADEMY. Much interest has been nuniiested in the publication by the cadets in attendance and by the alwtonl A publication d this kind, under proper direction, is of great worth m a school in developing a proper sentiment among the students and in aflbid- ii l actice for compontion. The eocoun ement already given to this enterprise makes us befieve that it «ill be a permanent ftature of the school. We bdieve that any system of education that does not pUoe the moral element ahead of the mental and physical is abortive, and we strive to impress our boys with the importance of right Kvingt of avoiding excesses and anythmg that tends to weaken the powos of mind and body. In the daily contact between teacher and pupil that exists in a boarding school, the teacher has great opport mity for mak- ing lift long impressions by his example as well as by his precept. The design of the founder was that the school should be positively Christian in its character, but not sectarian. The Board of Trustees is composed of representatives of all the lead- ing Protestant churolics of Lexington, and all thf tearhcrs are Chriiitians. The stuilent.s m- rc(jiiired to attend cfnirt li once L-ach Sabbulh, in a body, lakinj the ditlcrcnt ones in order, and the Sabbath school ol their [)arcr.ts ' choice.
