' ENTWORTH jH ILlTARY CRDEIA . HISTORY. TH F, Academy had its origin in the desire of Mr. STBrHBN O. Wi stworth to erect a monument to the memory of his deceased son, William Wentworth. In the year 1880 a suitable building fur a day school was purchased, and in September of the same year the doors were opened tor students. Dr. B. L. Hobson, now of the McConniek Theologkat Seminary, WIS cKosen ss Principal, and the present Superintendent wis elected as lus sssociatc. In April, i88i,s charter w«s secured, and the school was authorized to confer such degrees and marks of distinction as arc usually granted by literary institutions. A board of seven trustees was appointed, consisting of members of the diflerent Protestsnt churches of Lexington. At the end of the first yetr Or. Hobson redred tio enter the miiustry, and the {wesent Superintendent, who has ever since been 9t the head of the ndnffoi, ii ' aii lilfi in rtisrtwi- . PM  i « i l ewiid i «fa -i iM «i • fattu wtt iddiad. jBidEdMr this the wohe ON THE FIRING LINE. a mt tuy «chooIs in the Middle West. It was soon deemed advisable to make the school a boinl- ihg school; and the liberality of the founder at once provided a suitable building. This Iniiliiing soon proved inadequate fur tlic increasing} patronage and Mr. Wentwofth donated thie j resent grounds and buildings then standing. ' Through e fostering care of diie founder and die liberality of the citizens of Lenngton and Lafayette County, improvements have been made as the needs of the school have demanded. The school has Hteadily grown in public favor, as its students have yonc forth into public life or to dis- tinguish themselves in universities for which it prepared them. Several universities in the East and in the West have recognized the merit of its work by oflTering fh.be sgmolakships to its graduates Slid by receiving them without further examination. The Missouri L ;islatore has made it a post of the National Guard, and provides for the cmnnussioning of its graduates as second lieutenants and for an annual inspection. The Ignited States (invcrnnicnt has selected it is one of the three schools, including the State University, apportioned to Missouri by Act of Congress, cntitlii g it to the detail of a Regular Army officer for military instruction and to ordnance stores. The present management has a lease of fifty years on the school, and, havii conducted it through the struggles of tt fottl fttsb-Warninred in believing that the snme success will attend it in the future as in the past. Recognizing the virtue of the work at Wentworth Military Academy, the merit of its perse- verance, its genuineness as an bddcator or rovMo mbk, the Commonwealth of the State of Mis- souri his gained for the instttutibn nactioBal notiee, resuhii in the detsil of a United States Antty officer who superintends our military routine, secvi res for us e(|iiipments, and inrroiimes such featUTft of Regular Army life as may be considered advantageous and feasible for a school for boys. In 1899 the Missouri LegtsUture pxssed an act making this school a post of the National GttM This act provides for an annual inspection by the State and for the eommissioning in the National Guard of all the officers and fliture graduates nf rhc school. F.xcepting the matter of ap- propriations, this establishes the same relaoon hetwcien th$ Academy and the State as eusty between West Point and the United States. In June, 1903, Gil. W. M. Hbge, at that time Inspector of Schools for the University of Missouri secured half interest in the property and lease of this academy and h;is since been identi- fied with its management. Colonel Huge ' s wide ac( iiaint3nce with the schools of Missouri, coupled with his previous experience of eighteen years in another leading military school, enables him to ren- der valuable service to this academy The past year has been the most satis ctory in the history of the school, both as to the at . tendance and the character of the work accomplished.

For those not prepsred to take up the regular academic work, thorough instruction h offered in subjecb Kke Reading, Spelling, PennMnship, Language Lessons, Arithmedc, United States History and Geography, OS indicated under the heading PRrPARAroRv. The Reoiilar Co irsp, as outlined, is constructed with reference to the increasing tendency on the part of higher institutions of learning to allow wide choice in entrance requirements. Asi 6om few essentials, like English, the disposition of tfake lt ing Colleges and I ' nivcrsitics is to allow greater liberty to the secondary schools, and to accept for entrance quite an extended list of optional rcquirenwnts. Our course is thus rigid enough to meet the absolute requirements of any of the leading Colleges and I ' nivcrsitics, and at the same time clastic enough to suit that large number of students who never expect to attend any higher institution of teaming. For all snch we are prepared to offer the most liberal and {Mctieal training. I ' hc interest of the individual student will be guarded, whether he i preparing for college or loT the realities of a business or professional career. For those who are desirbva of a training more especially along commercial lines, we oflfer our BUSINESS (.loi RSE in which comioafaal bnindKet t l gpllar Academic Course.

MILITARY DEPARTMENT. : ' ' T |iIS  the oldest military school in the Stare of Missouri. The military idea is growing, and manv srhools are addpting the feature. Its full benefits, however, cannot be realized in any but a boarding school, where the students are all together, and where their rising, retiring, assembling for metis ind study, that care for their rooms and dress, and, tn cti all their duties are regulated by the mUttary requirements. For twenty-two years we have bad this feature in the school, and from it we have derived most gratifying results. We have incorporated it, not for the purpose of training our pupils for military life, but on account of the many advantages derived trom it in school government, and on account of the many benefits which our students obtain from the system. It consumes no time that would oAermse ht devoted to study, as the hooitliiild ilir it Ivoukl, in other Wf makh be given to recrcadon. I ' o sum up a few. of the many reasons fat jbdoptin the military feature, we believe : filii; rhat it contributes to diligence in study. ' FHk htat men in the illii -m ' Md are the best in thdr studies. 2d. That it contributes to t;ood behavior. ' I he penalties arc of a dignified character, and while well graded, according to the offense, and some uf them severe, they are not such as to crush the spirit of a boy. Being recognixed as a part of the miUtary discipline, they are received widiout the y t t0Bi l( t that are frequently made against penalties inflicted in school. • d. It cultivates the habit of immediate, implicit, and unquestioning obedience tu rightfully constituted authority ; also habits of order, neatness, punctuality, and self reliance. 4th. The drill is excellent physical exercise, especially for boys who are in a plxstic state, ient forms arc straightened, hoUcnv i tests arc developed, .a9 erect carriage and a manly address arc acquired, and health is promoted. 5th. The principle of self-government is thoroughly brought out. Oflicers are selected from among the oldest, the most studiooSj and the most trustworthy of the cadets, and these are of much .lervicc to the teachers, in the mam gemcat of the school, and in oontroUing the public sentiment of the students.

CAliP 8TSPHEN G. VfBHTWOBmL Strictly for purposes of instruction, and not ' ss s mere frolic, an encsmpment of a week was beki about eight miles from Lexington, on the banks of the Big Sni-a-bar Creek. The camp was named for the founder of rhe school, Stephen G. Wentworth. The corps was marched to rhe site under arms and carrying full equipment. The corps cleared the ground, set up the tents according to the army pbin arrangement walled the spring — die water supply — provided for the sanitation of a permanent dunp, prepared a drill ground and athkdc field, and spent most of the hours of each day in camp military roudne, drills, and instrucdon in the ordinary labors and dudes of a soldier in the field, particular attention being given to camp sanitation. The vacant hours were spent in athletic sports, in boating, swimming, hshing and the like. A band concert was usually given at night, when the OKlet were gadieted around camp fires. Strict guard was kept both by day and by night. Su ma the serious purpose of this encampment, that while it was keenly enjoyed by rhe cadets as a diversion, it produced absolutely no demoralization, and the corps returned to barracks as it went, under arms. Thus, mere diversion for diversion ' s sake has had no place in the acdvides of this lessioni but a variety of purposeful military studies and prKtioes have consumed the leisure of the cadeta and produced a ma tid eflfect upon the spirit of the corps. It is the intention i4 a n ag ea  eat 19 havf MmiiV aomMilj! llDpMMiiim daring the month of May. Manual Training was introduced a year ago some- what as an experiment.

VUR buildings, rxccjit the armory hall, are all constructed of brick and stone, and were erected espedally for their present use. In designing them, all the needs of a school of this kind were taken into consideration. The questions of heating, ventilation, strength, danger from fire, etc., were «I1 oonckicred, and the plans were supetviaed hy die Superintendent, who has been in dMr sdiool- fWE ibr twenty-five consecutive years, and at the head of this school from its bcf anii . The buildings include a spacious armory hall, o x So feet, in which the drills and other exercises take place in mclement weather. The buildmgs are lighted with gas and electricity and heated with the most approved hot-water system. They are idso supplied with an abundance of hoe •ad cold watiff , and ample bathing fiidlides and other modem conveniences. The new building, reference to which was made on another page of this catalogue, will fiirnish not only increased capacity for cadets, but also will add largely to the general eiiicicncy of the school, «s it will contain sevcnl rooms that are dengned for general use, and that will thusoontribute to the comfort and convenience of the cadet corps. This building also is to be heated by the most approved hot-water system, and will be provided with •aaiury plumbif and sewerage. The grounds — embracintr .d out twdve acres — nre elevated, well drained and covered with a rich growth of bluegrau atid aire adorned with shade trees. The fiidlities for developing the vartotti- ' forms of athletics carried on in the school are ex- cellent, the grounds being ample and well suited to practice of foot-ball, base-ball, track and tennis itodt, u well as the military drilb. THS Sm RIVE It PHYSICAL DSVBLOPMBNT. While we wish to subordinate physical development to moral and mental culture, it is our plan, IS wet forth in our motto — A Sound Mind in a Sound Body — to inspire our students widl desire to possess bodies suited to the needs of the intellectusl man. The settin p exercises and other mititary drills afford exoeUent means of physical development. Our gymnanum, KXt-ball, base-ball, tennis and field sports are directed by a regular instructor. Oiir student are encouraged to indulge in these sports to a reasonable extent, while we discourage protessioiul athletics, and any tendency to make physical development take premlemx over the higher aims of a true educadon. Nor is the development of the body die only valuable feature coniieeeed with the practice of pure athletics in school. In order to become a good athlete, the pupil must conform his hff and practices to certain great moral principles that lie at the very tuundatiun ut the Christian religion. He must daily [ actice habits of temperance, self ontrol and obedience, and manifest in a high itgttt die maaly ({oalitieB of endurance, industry and courage.

A room has been set apart for the use of students as a reading room, to which they have access during recreation hours on certain days of die week. A library of spedaUy selected booksj supplcnunted by the Government publications, especially diose of the Department of Education, is accessible to our snidenrs. Two encyclopedias, the Brittannica and Chamben- , and Government publications of several yc u s .n . ..mularinn are alwavs .ivailaMe tor rcterencc.

In addition to the appointments of the gymnasium and armory, we have all the apparatus, both chemical and physical, necessary for illustrating the experiments of the text-books used.

This instrument combines four in one — viz: the Drdinar) ' compass, the solar compass, the transit and the level. Typewriters are also kept for the use of students, and pianos for the use of music pupils. We have charts, maps, globes, a four- inch ol ect glass telescope, complete manual training outfit, and in ct, everything in the way of mechamcal devices necessary teiaching dioroughly ail the branches Uid down in our course of study. SCHOOL MAGAZINB- TH£ TRUMPETER. A S a notable feature of our work, twelve years ago there was inaugurated a quarterly school journal, published by the cadets, under tht direction of one of the instractoriB. Much interest has been manifested in this publication by the cadets in attendance and l r ' .r alumni. A pabficxtion of this kind, under proper direction, is of great worth in n school in dt eloping a proper sentiment among the students and in aiibrding practice in literary composition. I ' he cncuungenient already given to dus enterprise assures us that it is a permanent feature of the school. The editors-in-chidT ,«nd business managers are appointed from among the cadets, and the entire control of the publicatioD  Id .tio tbem is kxu p|i9«|dable. Spffiimoii C!Opifs of t may be bad m jpUovtipii. MORAL A|9D itSUOXOUS CHARACTER. X7E beKeve that any system of education that does not place the moral element ahead of the mental and physical is abortive, and we strive to impress our boys vith the iniportance f tjght living, of avoiding excesses and anything that tends to weaken the powers of mind and body. In the daily contact bet ' een teacher and pupil that exists in a boarding-school, the teacher lil great opportomty for niaking life-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 character, but not sectarian. The Board of Tni ;rep is composed of representatives of all the leading l rotestant churches of Lexington, and all the regular teachers are Christians. The students arc required to attend church once each Sabbath, in a body, taking the different ones in order, and a Sabbath-school it conducted in barracks by the regular instructors of the Academy.

EMILIA ranwTtL vMMia Or omu. mouu A FATIGUF UNIFORM of cacicr gray, the same as that worn at West Point, with gray cap, must be worn by all cadets; also white gloves in warm weather and black gloves in winter. White duck trousers the cost of which, per pair, shall not exceed 11.50 constitute a part of the •j ring uniform. Two pairs are necessary. In addition to the above, a brown khdci uniform, CWISisting of Mouse, trousers and Icggins, will be required. Thev can be secured upon entrance, and being suitable for rouy;h wear, ihcy will reduce in the i lul the total expense for clothing. All citizen ' s clothing will be turned in after the corps is uniformed, and the uniform will be worn at all times. An equipment consisting of cross-belts, bayonet scabbard and cartridge box must be provided for each cadet. A unifenn overcoat of dark blue m %y also be worn, but is not required. Thit iCOtt it of such make that it can easily be converted into a citizen ' s coat when the boy quits school. in order to secure perfect uniformity of dress, it is best that the above articles be procured after arriving in Lexington. Our unifenns are of die best material, and are made by our home tailor. They are carefully fitted on the cadets before completion, and are much superior to those procured from Eastern firms. Some of our patrons, may prefer the. f steni ' nude unitorms, how cvcr, and they can be furnished at a lower cost.

Deposit all funds for general expenses, as well as pocket-money, with the Superintendent, and let there be « definite understanding as to the amount to be allowed for inddental expenses. No time is set apart for the cadets to visit their homes, except the Christmas holidays ; and as the interruptions produced by going home at any other time are a great disadvantage to the pupils, wc urgently request patrons not tD efiooon it.. In «U cases write to the Superintendoit on tlua subject, not to the boy.

Wc ea rnestly urge that the allowance for pocket-money be very moderate; ce aU9W1Uloe  instead of insuring the buy ' s happiness, contribute rather to his demoralization. ♦ tiff, f ' f ' y ' 9.  w - IklMSB BAit.
