GOMs OP 16AUET8. taa History nr I f K Aca leniy had its origin in the desire of ■ Mk. Stki ' iikn G. V i: t vort 1 1 to erect a nirmijiiicnt to the memory of his deceased sou, William Wentwortii. In the year 1880 a suit- able building for a day school was purchased, and in September of the saim- year the doors were opened for sfudents. hr 15. I., llohson, now of lite McConuick Tlieological Seminary, was chosen as Principal, and Gol. Sandford Sellers was elected as his associate. In April. 1881, a charier wjis secnrtvl. rui ' l ihe school was author- ized lo confer such decrees and iii.ir1 ' of distinc- tion as are usually gfrante l by hierary itistituiiuns. A board of seven trustees was appointed, consist- . ' of membefS ' ' of the .di£SeFenl Pfotestant churches of Lexinffton. At the end of the first year Dr. Hohson retiretl ti enter the ministry. and Col. Sellers was left in ch,-irge. During the second year the military feattire was added, mak- ing this the pioneer of military schools in the Middle ' est. It was soon deemed advisable to make the school a l oardin school; and the liber- ality of tile founder at once proviiled a suitable buildingr. This building soon proved inadequate for the increasing patronage, and Mr. Went worth donated t}ie present grouE then standing. Through the fostering care of the founder and the liberality of the citizens of Lexingtmi and lafy fd Goiii% 4ttifietif been il iii.ndc ns tlic ticnls nf the srhool ilcniniKU ' il. riic school has slcailily j iown in puhhc i ' av jr, as its students have gone forth into public life or to distinguish themselveii in universities for hich it prepared them. Several untvcrsities in ihf KnsT and in ' ho ' es hrivo recojrniVcfl tho mcril ot its work by ulTcring fkuk iiolarsiiii ' S to its graduates, and by receiving them without further examination. The Missouri Legislature has made it a post of the National riuaril. and provides for the coniniissioning of its j r.iduates as secoiul lieutenants and for an annual inspec- tion. The United States Government has selected it its Qfte oi lUie three isdiools md the .State: I iiivcr itv, aiijiortiont ' d to Missouri hv Act of Congress, enti tling it to ihc detail oi a Regular Army officer for military instruction and to ord- nance stores. The present management has ft lease ni fifty years on the school, and feels war- rante l in helicving that the same success will atlcutl it in the future as in the past. Recognizing the virtue of the work at Wenl- worth Military Academy, the merit of its perse- verance, its g;cniiinoiuss as an Kin t Aroit  p V(iitN(; MEN, the C ' oninionucahli of tlu- Siriti- nf Missouri has gained for the institution national notice, resulting in the detail of a United Statei Arnty ofliG0 who s fHtrmtc tm- ootan OF line, secures li r ii-. ri|iii] iiifnls. and iiitroduccii such features of Ke ' iilar Anny life as may be considered advantageous and feasible for a school for luiys. in llu ' Missouri I x MsIaturi ' (trisscd an act makini; tins school a post of liic National Guard. Tliis act provides for an annual inspec- tion by the State and for the commissioning in llu ' X.itional r.iiard of all the olTicers and future graduates ,{ ilie school. Exccptinin the matter of a|)pro|)rialif)iis, this establishes the same rela- tion between the Academy and the State as exists l)etwcen West Point and tlie rniufl Slates. In June,, Col. W. Al. Hc e, at tliat tioK lnspect(jr of .Schools for the University of .Mis- souri, secured half interest in the property and lease of this academy, and ha i since Iieen identi- fied witli its management. ( ' ulonel Iloge ' s wide acfjuaintance with the scbooN of Miss iiiri, coupled with his previous cx|X ' ricnec of cighltcn years in another leading military school, enables Iihn tq render valuable service to this academy. The past year has been the most atisfarlory in ibe bis|oi   ' llie scliool. N ' ol oiiK lias the enrullment been l.ir er than that ol an) previous year, bttt the average attendance has been mud) greater, so that it has l)een necessary lo rent outside quarters dnritig the «inttre session that all CAl eT8, 1907. iiiiLrlir he .■imoiini ' xl.itfd. Interest in the v;iri tns departments of school work was never greater. The average standing of the corps in scholarship mai deportment ranked high, and only in a very U v instances v;is it luoi- ' arv to resort io cx- ireuie meASUres in ntaiiiLaining good discipline. NEW BUIUJINUii. Yhc continued and rapid growth of the Academy has made it necessary again to enlarge the lutildinjxs.

The hasetneni is in great part above ground and, in ad(htion to j)roviding a furnace room, will also contain a large resort and amusement rooni designed espec- ially for use of cadets during the inclement weather of winter. The first floor will be divided inti a number of large, well lighted recitation rooms, while the second and third floors will fur- nish thirty-two cadet rooms, accommodating sixty four cadets. The entire Imildinj, ' will be heated with steam, lighted with gas and elec- tricity and be providctl with ample Ijjitli and toilet GYMNASIUM. During the past year considerable ap] araius was added to the equipment of the (iymniusium, and during the winter months all were encour- aged to take daily exercise in the Gymnasium un- iler the supervision of a hig ily competent instntc lor. The Acadetiiy was esi)eciiilly forlnnate in securinjn the serviceti of Lieutenant A. V. Smith iof Ninth Cavalry, U. S, A., during his furlougli of a few months from his regiment..

All pupils from a distance, and te0dteK% tanrd--and lodge in the schools in order that the iullucnce and suiicrvi.sion of the teacher may be constantly and most successfully e.xer cised. By this intimate association between pupil and teacher, that part of the youth ' s education which is outside of the text-book can best be accomplished. I hcy arc shielded from evil influ- ences and taught habits of genti ty, neatness and ptmctuality. The careless are required and taught how to study, and the ambitious arc cn- couratred to jeater endeavor.

The military idea is Kruwiny:, and many schools are nrlnpting; the fi-aintc. lis full benetils, how c er. cannot Ik; realizod in any but a boarding scliool, where the students are all to- gfether, and where their risbig, retiring, assem- blinjf for meals aiul ti: ' ! . their care for ihcir rooms .ind dress, and. m );ui. ;dl their duties are r fulated by the military re |uirc ' nK ' nts. For twent ' -five years we have had this feature M the school, and from it we have derived most gratifjnng resuhs. W ' c have inc-M poratcd it. nrtt for the pttrposc of training uur pupils for mili- tary life, but on account of ihv many atlvantages derived from it in school govcnmicnt, and on account of the numy benefits which pur students obtain from the v-tnn It con snines no time that wouki otherwise be devoted to study, as the hours used for it would, in other schools, be given to recreation. To sum up a few of the man reasons fclr adopting the nn !itary featm ' e, we believe: 1st. That it contributes to iliiigcnce in study. The best men in the drill, as a rule, are d ei4)ist in their studies. 2d. That it contributes to good behavior. The pen;dties are of a di- iiiried cliaraeler. and while well graded, according to Uic ullensc, and some of them severe, they are not such as to crush the spirit of a boy. RetUK recoi;nized a a part of the military discipline, they are received without the protests that arc frequently made against penalties inflicted in .school. 3d. It cultivates the habit of immediate, implicit, and un |nestioning olwdience to right- inll ' constituted authorits ; ;ilso habits of OFder neatness, punctuality, and self-reliance. 4th. The drill is excellent physical exercise especially for boys who are in a plastic state. Bent fonii.y arc straightened, Jmllozy. ' thesis are developed, an erect carriaj e and a manly addreh.s are acquired, and health is pronioted. 5th. The principle of sclf-govemnient is thoroughly brouj ht out. Officers are selected from amani, the oldest, the most studious, ,ind the most Lru t worthy of the cadets, and these arc of much service to the teachers, in the manage- (nent of the school, and in controlling the public 5«nHinent of the .students. While the military feature was intPKluced pritnarily for the advantages just mentioned, every eflfort is made, consistent with o er duties, to bring it to the higliest degree of perfection as regards proficiency in all the details of the systemi tli. ' u e er ' cadet may have a feeling of pride in his work. Report of tte HiomnaEidant I|ru l1uartr •3 (Tnrps of tit]lirta VnUiuurU) tfLUUura AnitWKg. Jmie 4th. 1907.

L ' nder this head I wish to emphasi .c and bring attention to the great good to l e derived from the work in the military deparlnicnt as imw o m hirted in this and other ii] -l Mlatc inilitury schools. The uiililary work, consist- ing of all forms of athletic contests, classified gynmasitics, and drills tliat will hring out and strenglhen the weak points •( the weak and make the slrnnt;. slronj er. This work not oiil}- teaches a y tung man how to command and be commanded but dcvelf ps him physi- cally to a high standard of perfect i( n. A yonnij ' man who cannot tind smnethini, ' in all of our work to interest, junuse and impn vc him is not worth retaining in any school. There has been in the past three years, great improve- ' nw ' ii tbe ixt pp (the ni|l wry icajutiage) of tilie c ' lrlcts in this instil ui ion They now take jjreat pride in all of llicir military w irk and at the cad of each year attain a very higii standard in that work. In case of a war where volunteer troops arc needed f would want no better Imk U) befall nie than to iiave as otVicers. graduates of this and other military schocds in the coun- try. I ani a great believer in target practice for the citizen soldiers of tin ' s country, for it is upon them we must depend in time I ' f war. To this end 1 have lcvoted much lime in in- structiiui alitnj this line. While at Ft. Leaven- worth, in 1906. the corps of cadets engaged in target practice with the regular trno])s f n the lovenmieiit ranjife commenciiis at 200 yards liring hack to antl including C 00 yanls range.

Qn acyeount o£ tl e J ntesiown trip | is ' ear, long range practice could not be had but the cadets in the battalion received careful in- struction during the winter months in jtosition and aiming drill, firing 20 shots each at Ciallcry practice. In this work, Comiiany A fired 74 men for a total of 4558 prtints out of 7400 — 61.6 per cent; Company R llred 70 men for a total of 4744 out of 7(XiO— f)7.7 per cent. This, iii my estiniatiim. next to physical development of the nicn, is tlte most imjjortant part of the milk tary trtAaia in civil ins tttion BAND.
