W mt ' ti of Bntopt and America b vc been its proud pi ; The ancestors of the founder of this school, Stei ' Hf.n (i. Wentworth, came from Eng- land, settling in the Inited States in the early part of the 18th century. Mr. Went- worth, himself, coming West when u boy, settled in Missouri. He wus a prosperous business man and concluded his long and successful business career us F ' resident of the Morrison-Went worth Bank, at Lexing- ton. Missouri. or. thi-  tt ' rni wf 1|m (ik ' turti. In the year 1880 he founded the Went- worth Mule Academy in honor of his de- ceased Hon, William Wentworth. During the second year of its history the military fea- ture was added, the name was changed to the Wentworth Military Academy, and thus was liegun the pioneer military school of the Middle West. B. L. HoLson, now Professor of Apologetics in McCormick Theological Seminary, was selected as the first Principal, with Sandford Sellers as his associate. At the end of the firnt year Mr. Hobson retired, ind, with the exception of one year. Col. 24 WENT WORTH M I I.I 1 AH AC A DEMI Sandford Sellers has occupied the posit ion of Superintendent ever since. In 1903, Col. W. SI. Hoge. for many years connected with Kemper Military School, re- signed his position as Inspector of Accred- ited Schools for the University of Missouri, and was chosen as Associate Superintendent and Principal of the Academy. In 1905, Capt. E. A. Hickman, 1st Cav- alry. U. S. Army, a graduate of this Acad- emy, of the Virginia Military Institute, and of the Government School for Army Officers at Ft. Leavenworth, was detailed l y the War Department as Military Instructor. In 190 he purchased an interest in the Academy and became an equal partner with Cols. Sellers and Hoge. His untiring energy, good judg- ment, and interest in boys, together with his experience as an officer in the United States Army, have l een a most potent factor in placing the Academy in the very front rank of the military schools of the United States. Missouri Militia Makes Wentworth a Post of the National Guard In 1889 the Academy was made a Post of the National Guard of Missouri. By this act, provisions were made for an annual in- spection by State Officers for granting com- missions, by the Governor of the State, to all officers and graduates of the Academy. Excepting the matter of appropriations, this establishes the same relations between the Academy and the State as exist between the West Point Military Academy and the United States. Secretary of War Designates Wentworth Mili- tary Academy as a Distinguished Institution In 1895 the War Department of the United States, recognizing the work done by the Academy in its military training, detmle I an officer from the Regular Army as mili- tary instructor, and supplied it with ord- nance and ordnance stores. This detail has continued to the present time, and supplies have been increased until the school in nov provided with everything necessary for in- fantry, mounted artillery, and cavalry drills. The literary work has kept pact with the military, as shown by the fact that its stu- dents are received, without examination, by- all the leading universities of the country which admit Freshmen on certifk.Ue.s. It Is the purpose of the management of Wentworth Military Academy to use those methods which develop most successfully the INTBttKtTl ' At, Molt At. AND I ' HYSICAt powers of the students. To insure the test mental training, none but men of liberal and thor- ough education and of successful experience in teaching are employed. Liberal expendi- tures have been made ing the best mechaai for instruction, such cal and physical appa  maps, charts, mathe instruments, etc. in secur- cal aids asehemi- r a t u a, matical KSCIHtT ■ THE Count. 25 Intimate Association Between Teachers and Pupil All pupil from a distance, nni1 the teach- er , Ismrd and lodge in the Academy in order that the influence und supervision of the teacher may be constantly and most success- fully exercised. By this intimate association between pupil and teacher that part of the youth ' s education which is outside of the text-book can best Ik- accomplished. Me is shielded from evil influences and taught habits of gentility, neatness and punctuality. The careless are required and taught how to study, and the ambitious are encouraged to greater endeavor. The school is. us it were, one large family, in which each teacher occu- pies the place of a parent or nu elder brother to the studentR. I an Unusually A ppropriate Spot for a Military School In Lexington was fought one of the im- portant battles of the late Civil War. and Wentworth .Military Academy stands neai the scene of conflict. The town has about fi.OOO inhabitants, and has water works, gas, electric light, and other modern conveni- ences. It in easily accessible from the great railroad centers of Kansas City and St. Louis by two different lines of the Missouri Pacific Railroad and is located in the heart of a strip of country li( miles wide and 250 miles long, embracing the windings of the Missouri River across the State of Missouri, and in which is to be found perhaps the most remarkable aggregation of educational institutions in the world. In addition to Wentworth Military Acad- emy. Lexington has two large and flour- ishing colleges for young ladies. The edu- cational advantages have attracted and retained a refined and cultivated citizenship. Being one of the oldest and most settled towns in the State, all things ronspire to direct to habits of study the minds of the students who assemble here from all parts of the South and West, This collection of .-el U jrives to each many advantages which one or even two schools would not possess. They unite in securing Lecture Courses and special teachers of Music, Elocution, Art, etc., and thereby obtain the best talent. The Redpath Lyceum Lecture course has been secured for next winter. This includes a series of entertainments coming through the fall and winter season so arranged that the benefits are accorded to all the cadets at Wentworth. These lectures have embraced such men as:— ' ,. B. Moulton, S. H. Clark. Dr. Thos. Green. Opie Reed, Senator Dolliver, Dr. Stanley Hall, DeWitt Miller, Frederick Warde, and such musical organizations as Harmony Concert Company and the Chicago Glee Club.

Wentworth Military Academy, ami in fact the entire community of Lexington. Mis- souri, enjoys a most remurkable health rec- ord. Situated on the southern bluff of the Missouri River, 210 feet above the water level, good drainage and air pure and free from malarial influences of all kinds, are se- cured. The year the school has just closed boast unusual health record, the hospital being open only one day out of the 3o  , and this being for the benefit of sickness con- tracted while the cadet was home during Christmas holidays. The rigid government inspections of all militaiy schools under government super- vision make it alisolutcly imperative that, sueh schools comply with all the laws of health in their appointments and manage- ment. It would ! e difficult to secure more com- petent men for looking after matters per- taining to health than the Tinted States otlkci-i detailed nl Wentworth. The) have hud extensive experience in the field and in foreign tropical countries in contending with disease in all forms, and this experience is put to practical use in these schools. At considerable expense we have provided ap- paratus for caring for our drinking water, which is boiled for the entire school ' s u e. Wentworth an Educational Institution ai Well as Military School While this is a military school and ranks among the highest class of schools recog- nized by the War Department, the academic work is not sidetracked or treated as of sec- ondary import. The same numlKfr of hours are devoted to recitation and study as in the puLlic and private schools in which there is an entire absence of the military feature. Our teach- ers are men of college and university train- ing, graduates of leading institutions of our country and experienced in their respective departments. The average number of pupils to each teacher is considerably les- than that found in the large majority of the high schools, where frequently the pupil recites not oftener than once or twice n week.

MISSOURI 27 In addition to this daily Wqik, from tw . to three hours of night study art- required of all. under the direction and supervision of faculty officers. These conditions can lie fuJly realized only in a boarding school, with military system and discipline, where the military and athletic features, instead of be- ing a hindrance, arc a positive help in secur- ing good academic work. A recent patron remarked: My boy i never took any interest in school work until he entered your school. This boy was active in athletics and military through his entire course, and graduated at the head of the class. A Sy tem of Athletic. Reachei Every Student Wentworth Military ' Academy has taken the lead in correcting the evil in v.thletk-s as conducted in many schools. This is the con- centration of interest in one winning team of football or baseball, resulting in over- exertion on the part of that team and neg- lect of exercise on the part of the student not in the team, their part l eing simply thnt or applauding spectators. The system of athletics at Wentworth recognizes the im- portance of athletics in schools, but is so managed as to get all the students interested. Teachers are selected who are in complete sympathy with boys and who get out and take part with them in their sports. The advantage of this plan has been thoroughly demonstrated, and the effect on the student body is very ' manifest in their improved health and physical development. Military Feature The (i.vmnasium at Wentworth is always open for use. und the fascinating daily mili- tary drill is as regularly required as recita- tions, affording one of the l est means for physical development. To the Military Department have been added cavalry, mounted artillery, engineer- ing, signaling and hospital work. These features have proved very successful, and not only add greatly to the interest in the .school life, helping to keep restless boys oc- cupied and satisfied, but by varied exercises and expedients explained elsewhere tend to make a boy ' s education practical Pnd prepare him to meet the emergencies of life. The Lower School for Boy of 1 1 to 1 4 Years Thirty-two years spent in Ixmrding school work convinced the management of Went- worth Military Academy that the methods best calculated to develop and educate young men of from 14 to 20 years of age do not always bring best results with younger boys, nor is it iK ' st that they be thrown too closely together. Wentworth maintains a complete separate department for boys of the ages of 11 to 14 years. The young boys are in close touch with the spirit of the older school, and are quickly imbued with the principles of honor, truthfulness and manliness which so mark the Wentworth students. These boy. live a distinctly homr life, hav- ing their own barracks and quarters adjoin- ing the family apartments of the Superin- tendent of the Academy. In general, the regulations re rarding their conduct and duties are the same as govern the upper school, with such modifications as the age and temperament of the younger lads may require. They wear uniforms at all times, living a modified military life, conducted with strict- est regard to punctuality, thoroughness, and neatness nf person and habits. W E N T WO Kill Mill 1 A R , A C A I) EM V Buildings and Grounds HE Bl ' ILDIN ' JS, except the Armory Hull, are nil constructed of brick and stone, and were erected especially for their pres- ent use. In designing them, all the need of n school of this kind were taken into consideration. The questions of heating, ventilation, strength, dan- ger from fire, etc., were all considered, and the plans were supervised hy the Superintendent, who has lieen in the school room for thirty -two con- secutive years, and at the head of this school from its beginning. The Armory Hall is a spacious building, 50x«0 feet, in which drills and other exercises take place in inclement weather. Together with the grounds, the buildings at W ' entwoith Military Academy represent a very large expenditure of money, and the equipment is constantly being added to, On the first floor of the main building are the offices of the Commandant, the otfices of the Superintendent and his family apartments, the Athletic Manager ' s oftice, the Officer of the Day ' s post, the Mess Hall, kitchen and pantries, the Chapel and study halls, the chemical laboratory, manual training de- partment, the school parlors and guest rooms. The department for smull boys ad- joins the family apartments of the superin- tendent. On the second and third floors are. the cadets ' bnrrncks and the faculty and of- ficers ' quarters. The new barrack building includes a base- ment and three full stories. The building contains an amusement hall for dances and social features, seven recitation rooms de- voted exclusively to class work, the physics lal oratory and the office of the surgeon of the Academy.

L E X I (. T ON. M I s s 0 I K I are cadets ' quarters and also those of the of- ficers. This building is modeled after the order of West Po int barracks, and in con- structed in four sections, each having its own entrance and separate hall, thereby pre- venting a large number of cadets congre- gating in any one hallway. The cadet quar- ters are of a uniform size and furnished with sanitary beds, table, chairs, toilet con- veniences and radiator. The buildings are supplied with hot and cold water on every floor and meet every sanitary requirement. All the buildings are heated by either steam or hot water and are provided with sanitary plumbing and sewerage. The grounds are elevated, well drained and covered with a rich growth of bluegrass, and are adorned with shade trees. The facilities for developing the various forms of athletics carried on in the school are excellent, the grounds being ample and well suited to practice of football, baseball, track and tennis work, as well as the m : li- tary drills. Library and Reading Room. To supply cadets with good reading an excellent library is maintained at Went- worth Military Academy. Specially selected books supplemented by the United States Covernment publications, and especially those of the Department of Education, are accessible to all students. Reference books and the most modern encyclopedias, Nelson ' s Perpetual Loose l. eaf, The Britannica, Applcton ' s, The International. Chambers, are always available ( r referent The best magazines and daily and weekly papers are provided in the reading room.

Went worth Mili- | tary Academy has all the apparatus, lioth chemical and physical, neeessar. for illus- trating the experiments of the text-hooks used, and for individual laboratory work by the cadets. The school has compasses and Curley Brothers best engineers transits. Heal as well as educational value of such work is now so generally recognized that ar- gument in its support is unnecessary. Many boys l ecome enthusiastic over it who before have shown aversion to every other school employment, and frequently by it have lie- come interested in the literary side of school life. with ail attachments such as the gradicnter latitude level and solar attachment. This instrument combines four in one — riz., the ordinary compass, the solar compass, the transit and the level. Charts, map.-, globes, complete manual training outtit, and in fact everything in the way of mechanical devices necessary for teaching thoroughly all the branches laid down in our couises of studv are provided, and typewriters kept for the use of students of the business course, and pianos for the use of music pupils. Manual Training Every year the cadets in this department construct many articles of useful furniture, such as tables, writing desks, music racks, chairs, etc., and the work bas proved highly beneficial as a means of training. The work is credited by the State University on en trance requirements for one unit. The prac- Phy.ical While Wentworth Military A c a d e m y wishes to subordinate physical development to moral and mental culture, it is the plan, as set forth in the school ' s motto-- A Sound Mind in a Sound Body — to inspire students with a desire to possess bodies suited to the needs of the intellectual man. The West Point Calisthenics and military drills from Butt ' s Manual afford the finest means known of physical development. The gymnasium. f K)tbalI. baseball, tennis and held sports are directed by regular instructors. Students are encouraged to take part in these sports to a reasonable extent. Professional ath- letics are discouraged and also any tendency to make physical development take prece- dence over the higher aims of a true educa- tion. L E XING l N, Mis s o i u I Nor is the development of the body the only valuable feature connected with the practice of pure athletics in Went worth Military Academy. In order to become n good athlete, the pupil must govern his life by certain great moral principles that lie at the foundation of the Christian religion. He must daily practice habits of temperance, self-control and oliediencc. and manifest in a high degree the manly qualities of endur- ance, industry and courage. By this means we believe many a youth has acquired for life u practice of these virtues so essential to right living. The Trumpeter During the past three years the school paper, The Trumpeter. has lieen published weekly during the session without missing an issue. By the regular presentation of events al the Academy, the weekly paper has become an important factor in the school. The Trumpeter is in the hands of ca- det , who derive a great deal of pleasure as well as valuable and practical journalistic expt-rieme in the gathering and writing-up of news. A sample copy of this paper will be sent Thk Skihmisr Line in Sham IUtti.k. free to anyone requesting it. The subsrrip- tion price is $1.50 a year. Rifle Shooting The National Rifle Association has cre- ated irreat interest in rifle shooting in all the military schools and many of the non- military schools of the country in the past few years. Many prizes in the form of bronze and silver medals are offered and the competition among the schools is very keen. The benefits of this practice are not con- fined to those who expect to he soldiers. The civilian is equally profited by it in the conservat ion of his nervous forces. For suc- cess in shooting, u keen, steady eye and per- fect nerve control art! necessary. The boy who is anxious to excel in this art realizes that he must avoid every practice or indulg- ence thai tends to disorder that delicate or- ganism. It is a matter of great satisfaction to the Academy that our team won the indoor cham- pionship in National Rifle Association con- test last season. In addition to this prize seventy-five bronze and silver medals were won by individual cadets.

I E X I N (■ I O N , M ISSO V K 1 33 Young Men ' s Christian Association One of the most important and active of the student organizations is the Young Men ' s Christian Association. This Associa- tion meets every Sunday morning, and fre- quently is visited by local ministers, laymen, phvsicians and lawyers, nnd the state Y. M. C. A. officers. From time to time it gives entertainments of an athletic and social character. Delegates are sent to the sec- tional and state student conferences and to the Geneva Y. M. C. A. conference at Lake Geneva, Wis. Nothing can do more for the moral and spiritual welfare of a school than the Young Men ' s Christian Association. It brings to- gether the Christian men and makes them responsible for the religion and moral life of the school. It reaches men that would never be influenced by the church and helps them clean up their lives. Its work is en- tirely unselfish and voluntary. Cndor the auspices of the Association, Dr. W. S. Hall, of Northwestern University, prolably the highest authority on the sub- ject In the country, delivered a series of lec- tures in Lexington on sexual hygiene. These talks were very helpful to all who heard them. mm A Y. M. C. A. PMUNHNtti The machinery of the organization con- sists of the regular officers. President, Vice- President and Secretary, and a number of •tending committees, such as New Student Committee. Membership Committee, Bible Study Committee, Social Committee, etc Meetings are held Sunday afternoon, at which talks are given by prominent men from the various professions, members of the faculty, and when it seems fit by the stu- dents themselves. Any young man, upon coming to Wentworth, could not do better than identify himself with the organization, if he would have his work counl for the most. Y. M. C. A.

In the daily contact between teacher and pupil that exists at Wentworth, the teacher ha great opportunity for making lifelong impressions hy his example as well as by his The design of the founder of the Academy was that the school should be positively Christian in character, but not sectarian. The Board of Trustees is composed of rep- resentatives of all the leading Protestant churches of Lexington, and all the regular teachers are Christians. The students are required to attend church one each Sunday, in a body, taking the different ones in order, and a Sunday School is conducted in bar- racks hy the regular instructors of the Academy.

Wentworth Military Academy, lexinjrton, Mo. Sir: Pursuant to your request 1 have the honor to submit the following report on the work of the military department for the past year: Course of Instruction The course of instruction pursued has followed the general scheme set. forth in C. O. 231, War Department, 1909. and the circular letter from the War Department supplementary thereto. The standard of proficiency sought in military training has been such as to give each graduate the ground work for becoming an efficient and competent Lieutenant of Volunteers when he reaches the legal age. To this end the instruction given the graduates ha com- prised as far as applicable the entire demanded of a Second Lieutenant of In- fantry in the preliminary garrison school course. Practical Instruction in Infantry Infantry drills have covered the following subjects: School of the Soldier, Squad, and Company ; School of the Battalion ; Cere monies Advan ce and Rear Guards; Outposts, and Combat exercises in Attack on Defense. Riding A thorough course in equitation was pre- scribed for the last year and has been car- ried out as far as the weather permitted. No attempt has been made to develop finished Cavalrymen, but rather to give each cadet n good seat in the saddle, teach him the es- sential principles of horsemanship, a few of the movements in the school of the trooper mounted, and the duties of the mounted scouts of Infantry- Special Service Instruction Artillery: Standing gun drill and the School of the Cannoneer. Signaling: Telegraphy. Flags, Helio, and Buzxer. Engineering: Elementary, Construction of Spar Bridge, Cordage, etc. Marksmanship It it not necessary more than to state to you the results that have been obtained in thi-i most important branch of the military department. I also wish to call your atten- tion to the fact that this was accomplished without drawing on the time of the academic department. Cadets have freely given their recreation periods to this interesting work. The following prizes have been won : In the Military School Rifle Shooting League, the Wentworth Military Academy won first place without losing a single match. In the Aator Cup shoot this Academy won tifth place. The following number of individual medals have been won during the year, in shoots carried on under the auspices of the Na- tional Rifle Association: Outdoor qualification badge 31 National Rifle Association Members ' medal I Indoor qualification badges 87 Indoor sharpshooter ' s badges 2 Marksman ' s badges 23 Total 144 Lieut. W. E. Dewey has had complete charge of the rifle shooting under my super- vision. He has been most successful in his work. Discipline The discipline on the whole for the past year has been excellent. LEXINGTON. MISSOURI Privilege Among the privileges ordinarily granti T to cadets who have lens than five demerits for the preceding week are: 1st. Permission to attend church out of ranks Sunday night. 2a To call on young ladies at their homes on Saturday night. 3d. J o attend entertainments at the opera hou ' e. occasionally, under the super- vision of a member of the faculty. 4th. To call on young ladies and to attend entertainments ::t the colleges. 5th.

In every instance whert a privilege is granted to a Cadet to be out luring a study period at night, he is required to report to his room or the study hall from 4:00 to 0:00 p. m. Control of Cadet in Barrack Each instructor is in charge of the division of the barracks in which he lives. Generally speaking he is responsible for the conduct of the Cadets in his division. Guard duty which constitutes a part of the military instruction as well as a part of the system of control of the Cadets u limited to what is necessary to maintain order and dis- cipline in the barracks. Ordinarily the time devoted to this work is three hours a week for the non-commissioned officers and one hour per week for the privates. All senti- nels are relieved at 10:30 p. m., when they are required to be in bed with their lights out. Uniform PULL DRESS: dray cap. blouse, gray or white trousers and white croas belts. West Point pattern. GARRISON : Khaki covered cap. khaki blouse and trousers, leggings, tan shoes. U. S. Army pattern. FIELD: Campaign hat. olive drab shirt, black tie, khaki trousers, leggings, tan shoes Encampment White ' s Island was again selected this year as the most desirable place for the an- nual encampment. Thirty of the cadets volunteered for the march to the camp, a distance of 25 miles; two days were allowed for the march, which they completed in a most creditable manner. The remainder of the battalion moved by rail. This island is an ideal place for an en- campment and it is recommended that steps be taken to hold the encampment there each year. Band The band under the leadership of Captain Fred A. Day. Mo. N. G., has done most ex- cellent work and has been a source of pleas- ure to the whole school.

A- A CLASS A SCHOOL For a number at yearn the report • o( inspection by the U. S. Army ha « placed Wenlworlb Military Aca- demy in Cla A. The nport of Captain il. N. CQfQtCi, 13th Cav- alry, who inspected Wentworth. April 21. was received at the Academy during the latter part of the sum- mer. This report iswithoutdouht the best that the school has ever had and states in exact terms thatVVentworth is bordering on the distinguish- ed class. A casual observer will notice that the word ' excellent appears frequently and excel- lent is the most laudatory adjective in the urmy parlance. (Note: The report consists largely of a series of questions and their answers.) The report follows: 1. Is this institution essentially a mili- tary school, or is the military instruction merely a single feature of the course? Es- sentially military ' . 2. What degree of importance is attached to the military instruction by the faculty? Great degree. 3. Is any change in the War Department classification desirable? No. 4. If not already classified, what classifi- cation should be made? Now Class A. 5. Is the officer on duty at the college cor- dially supported by the faculty in the mat- ter of military instruction and discipline? Give explicitly your reasons for arriving at this conclusion. See special report. 6. Are the students required to be con- tinually in uniform, and do they lead, as far as the surrounding conditions can reasonably be expected to permit, a military life? In other words, are the conditions such as to impress them constantly with a sense of being under military ' discipline? Yea. 7. To what extent is a military ' spirit de- veloped and nurtured? Large extent, 8. With what degree of zeal is military duty performed? Excellent degree. !). What was the general appearance of the cadets at inspection? Excellent. 10. Have the requirements of Par. 27. G. 0. 231, W. IV. 1909. as to the course of instruction been complied with? Yes. 12. Is the efficiency in infantry instruc- tion and training sufficiently advanced to warrant devoting time to instruction in artillery or other branches? Yes. 13. Is the military instruction of such extent and thoroughness as to qualify the average graduate for a commission as a lieu- tenant of volunteers? Ye . 14. Personally interview the students of the graduating class reported as having shown special aptitude for military service, and state your opinion as to their qualifica- tions so far as you can ascertain the same from suitable questions in the course of con- versation with them. Endeavor to form a general idea as to their fondness for mili- tary life, the extent of their military and L E X I N G I o N historical reading, and their general intelli- gence, neatness, and good manners. Do not report them individually, but give your im- pression of these selected cadets us a whole. Well disciplined, good clothes, manners very good and fond of military life. 15. Is the military professor eligible for this detail? (Pars. 14 and 16, G. O. 231. W. D.. 1909 ) Yes. 16. Is he satisfactory to the college au- thorities? Yes. 17. Is the retired non-commissioned officer on duty at this institution satisfac- tory ? None. 18. Do the conditions warrant the con- tinuance of the detail of an officer as profes- sor of military science and tactics of this institution? Yes. General Remark I was cordially received by Colonel Sand- ford Sellers, and Colonel Iloge. Superintend- ents, and Captain Pritehard, Professor of Military Science and Tactics. I inspected 145 cadets organized as a band and one bat- talion of four companies. They presented an excellent appearance in every ' respect and great credit is due Captain Pritehard for the excellent instruction which he has given. Battalion parade and review was well executed; cadets marched finely, good align- ments, and saluted properly. Arms were carefully inspect ed and with a few excep- tions were in excellent condition. Uniforms well fitted, extremely neat, trousers all pressed, shoes blackened, clean collars and gloves. MISSOURI ;.i Company drill, close and extended order, excellent. Battalion drill in close and ex- tended order, excellent; very few errors no- ticed. The guides were exceptionally well instructed and posted themselves. The detachment hospital gave excellent drill in first aid applying splints, and showed they had received excellent instruction. Ar- tillery detachment was very good in stand- ing gun drill. Engineer detachment threw spar bridge across ravine in eleven minutes. Butt ' s Manual with and without music, ex- cellent Sentinels were examined on post and were well instructed in the orders and duties. Advance guards by the battalion, excellent. Posting of outposts were very good. Daily morning reports, duty rosters, sick reports and guard reports were made by cadets on prescribed blanks. Very good gallery range used in their gymnasium. School has recently purchased a national target carrier, and is now fitted up with tele- phone, making it well equipped for handling the maximum number of pupils and greatly economizing time. Range is 375 yards long, a quarter of a mile from the school grounds. The school is affiliated with the National Rifle Association. In 1910 twenty-four cadets won indoor buttons. They will have a team entered for the Astor Cup (Gallery) this year and range work or 300 yards will l e held later in the season. The military spirit and zeal at this school is excellent and it borders on the distinguished class. (Signed) H. N. COOTES. Captain 13th Cavalry, Inspector. 54 W ENT WORTH Mill I R v AC A l) i: i v General Regulations It is impossible to formulate all the rules governing a school; there are written and un- written laws in all schools, and these grow and are subject to modification from year to year. Some of the offenses forbid- den are as follows: The use of intoxicating drinks. The use of profane or obscene language. Leaving the grounds without permission. Injuring school property. Gambling. Reading improper literature. Having in possession firearms other than those used in t he drill. Selling clothing, books or jewelry without permission. Frequent inspections of quarters are made to see that they are kept in order and to keep forbidden articles from being secreted. The use of tobacco in any form is dis- couraged, and cigarettes are not tolerated. Special hours on Saturday and Monday are arranged in which the cadets may visit the town to attend to any business that may call t i I ' J.I ' ' ; ' ' !■ ' L E X I N ; I ON, MI 8 s O I R I 55 Tn : BOQUi Coar . Special Remarks Head carefully the terms and require- ments. Fill out blank application at end of cata- logue. Inform the Superintendent fully in refer- ence to your son ' s disposition and the char- acter of the education intended for him. No time is set apart for the cadets to visit their homes, except for the Christmas holidays; and as the interruptions produced by going home at any other time are a great disadvantage to the pupils, we urirently re- quest patrons not to encourage it. In all cases write to the Superintendent on this subject, not to the boy. Every ' boy ' s teeth should be attended to before he starts to school, so that his attend- ance upon school duties may not he inter- rupted by dental work. Evidence of successful vaccination must lie shown or the endet musl be vm cinnted on arrival. Deposit all funds for general expenses, as well as pocket money, with the Superintend- ent, and let there be a definite understand- ing as to the amount to be allowed for inci- dental expenses. The allowance for pocket money should be very moderate, not to exceed W) cents per week; free allowances, instead of insuring the boy ' s happiness, contribute his de- moralization. Boxes of edibles, other than fruit, should not be sent. All trunks and Imggage should be marked with nwner ' s name and address REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION Wentworth Military Academy makes no special examination for admission, simply requiring that lioys l e of mood character and reasonably instructed in rudimentary studies. The boy is assigned to thai class Thb Color Gi ARn for which he seem best prepared. A e«Tt in- cute from other schools as to class standing is always helpful in classifying new cadets. Special attention is given to the weak points of the boy ' s previous training and his defieiences in any direction noted in order to be over- come. It is recommended that parents pbice their sons in the Academy for the full course of four years. In this way the principles Of manliness and character are most thoroughly impressed upon him and no interrupt ion oc- curs to prevent the fullest benefit from academic instruction. Cadets should enter as near the beginning of the session as possible, and it is in all cases understood thnt this is at least for the entire session, or for that part of the school year lemaining at time of entrance. Pay- ments must be made accordingly. No exception is made to this rule, except in case of sickness necessitating permanent withdrawal. In such cases all unused de posits are refunded, and all expense for board and tuition for the remainder of the session will I canceled. WENTWORTH NOT A REFORM SCHOOL U entworth enjoys distinction in being the best school in its class in the middle West. It is in no sense reformatory In work and distinctly does not desire ungovernable boy«. In the case of dismissal of a student from the school, the refund of money paid in or cancellation of indebtedness already incur- red will be at the option of the management, and will depend on the damage sustained by the school by reason of the cadet ' s miscon- duct.

Although only a prep school, the Wentworth athletic team hnve com- peted in Missouri collegiate class for years. They have been compelled to do thin in order to meet with opponent worthy of thnir mettle. And it might be added that Wentworth always rank well up with its rival . Many former Wentworth athletes are playing football in higher rank this season. Ben Hoge. a son of Col. W. M. Hog of Wentworth. Is ploying an end on the Army team. In Saturday ' s victory over the Vale eleven, young Hoge was the running mate of the mighty Gillwpie. This is his first year on the team.

Woodworth Caahion, Okla The Santa Fe Trail Showing the location of Lexington, Miisouri, and Wentworth Military Academy with respect to The College Route In a strip of country 60 miles wide and 2o(i miles long, embracing the windings of the Missouri River across the State of Missouri, is to he found perhaps the most remarkable aggregation of educational institutions in the world. It follows the old Santa Fe Trail and him  M en aptly termed the College Route. The reason is not far to seek. During the tlrst half of the last century the Missouri River was the great artery of commerce and travel from St. I uis westward. Steam- Isxats carried freight and passengers and de- posited them at various landings along its turbid course. Thence transportation by wagon and by stage coach was made inland to county capitals and other towns in con- tiguous territory. Very naturally these towns became the scats of denominational colleges and of the state ' s educational and eleemosynary establ ishments. Most of the towns had their beginnings before the days of steamboats. They were along the pioneer trails tending westward from the Mississippi. They grew with the passing years. When the building of rail- ways came thtse towns refused lo have the iron road because the slave-owning popula- tions thought the railroad would offer easy means for their negroes to run away. There- fore many of these towns are off the trunk- lines of railway and have long suffered in- conveniences because of the blind policy of the forefathers. It is eminently appropriate that the old trails — the Daniel Boone and the Santa Fe — should be rejuvenated and made into one great and continuous high- way across the state, and that these pioneer centers of civilization be linked together by that highway. A marker erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution was dedicated in Lex- ington. Missouri, last fall. The ceremony in- cluded a reception to Covernor Herbert S. Hadley and his staff, the cadets of Went- worth Military Academy attending in a body. LEXINGTON, MISSOURI 77 Letters From Patrons Following are commendations from u few men prominent in state, national, business and pro- fessional life. We have hundred of similar letters from all parts of the United States and refer by permission U, well known men in any section of the country: From Gen. J. Franklin Bell, ex-Chief of Staff. U. S. Army — 1 consider the apirit here existing superior to that in any other (military school). It is the most gratifying thing for me Ui observe the truly sincere Interest and enthusiasm taken by the pupils and the people In the marked success of the Wentworth Military Academy. The school thoroughly deserves their confidence and esteem; for of all the military schools I have visited nnd inspected I consider the spirit here existing superior to that in any other. It is not only because this school is doing a great work for our government that it meets with my commendation, but It Is also doing a •plcndid thing for these boys and their parents. If I were a father, I should not hesitate to send my hoy to a military whool with such a corps of in- struct or«. 1 shall take much pleasure in commending your institution to parent, who have boys to educate. From Frank Doster, ex-Chief Justice Su- preme Court of Kansas— 1 am gratified at the improvement made by my son. I am t: ' ■ ' ' ■■ ■•: nn account of the Improvement made by my son dur.ng the two years spent by him at Wentworth. He seems to be laying a better foundation for an education than I thought a few years ago he would undertake to build. From Jas. B. Gantt, ex-Chief Justice Su- preme Court of Missouri— Wentworth is good enough for any boy. There is no longer any occasion to send our boys to the East. Wentworth, standing as it does in the first class of military schools in thr United States, Is , enough f r any hoy. I bespeak for the Academy a continued growth and success. From A. A. Lesueur, ex-Secretary of State, Missouri — There is no better insti- tution of learning of its grade anywhere in this country. It affords me pleasure to speak In the highest terms of commendation of Wentworth Military Academy as an institution of learning. The Insti- tution is situated in o beautiful and healthful city of our state. It Is In worthy and competent hands, where the moral and physical training are kept In view as well as the intellectual advancement. I am quite sure there Is no better Institution of learn- ing of its grade anywhere in this country. A. A. LESUEL ' K. From M. S. Otero, ex-Governor of New Mexico: Allow me lo express my satisfaction in the man- ngiment of your institution. From M . S. Cowherd. ex-Congressman from Missouri: Wentworth is a boys ' school, and therefore a military one. A boys ' school without the military in It would he as preposterous as a military ' school without the boys in It, From W. C. Edwards. ex-Secretary of State, Kansas — We consider your school one of the best. We are highly grutiflod with the prognws our son has made in your school. Isith In hU studies and physical development, the latter being especially marked in his case. Wc consider your school one of the b,-st. From John P. Gordon, State Auditor, Missouri — I consider Wentworth the equal of any school of its kind in the country. It affords me gTeat pleasure to heor testimony to the character of Wentworth Military Academy, at Lcx ' ngton, Mo. 1 hove bad two sons educated with you, and you ran depend upon my youngest son Just as soon as he attains the proper age. In short, I consider W. M. A. the equal of nny school of Its kind in the country- north, ea t, south or west. 7 W E N I W ORTJJ MILI I A RY C A D I M Y Stand at the head of that class of schools in the state. — William J. Stone, United States Senator from Missouri. • ' Wentworth Military Academy is one of the mmi flourishing military academies in Missouri, tt stands nt the head of that cla.i« of schools In the state.

He being the second of our boys to prove the caput Ity of Wentwnrlh in the development of scholars and men, it ia a pleasure to express appreciation of the qualities which give the school an Individuality of peculiar value, especially to young men lacking the control of constant discipline. In both rase , of my older son, J. G.

The influence in each case appeared magical, de- veloping enthusiasm in studies, the military train- ing and athletics resulting in a trained self-con fldence nnd manliness, evidencing preparedness for Iheir encounter with their part in the world ' s work. The older von, J. G. Griffith, has proven his capacity in the business world, and is now successful and esteemed as the Secretary of the Miller Lumber Company of Millerton, Oklahoma. Harold has em- barked in the land, loan and Insurance business, with encouraging promise for the future.
