The town is ju.st lorty-lwo miles from Kansas Gitjr and ia easily reached by twtt brarifhos o ' the Missfuni Pacifiefrojn hfBfOi Kansas City and tft. Liouis. The view across the broad Missouri Biver valley presents a mapnificcnt physiographic atudy and is one which is scarcely riyakd for scenie beauty; Thk Poiar irom where W ' entwortii Mflftiuy Academy stands was fought the battle of Lexington, which was an important liattli- nf th» latp Civil War.

Music l lie scliool offers exceptional opportunities to hoys who have musical talent in its band, orchestra, and glee dub.

From lime to time solo num- liers are iven and the COrps en atre-s in coni- muiiity singing. The singing of the cadets .«t , religions services has been a matter of «iiiment by many vii to] While the discipline at Wentworth is firm it is not at «Ii hanh. Very little punishment of «njr kind ii tnfttetid. The punishsMat Liiat is a signed i.s ahv.ny.s of n military na lure and not the kind whitli will in any way humiliate a hoy. StudentA who cannot be handled witliont |)liy.sical compulsion are sent home. The aim of the disciplinary department is the development of personalities. Hence a great deal of responsihility rests on the students themselves. Students ai-e allowed eonalderable freedom In regard to their per- : ona! conduct and there is no elaborate or rigid set of rules. Many case.s of disoi- liline ;tre hiUKlIcd liy the students them.solves and the conduct of the student body is the result of popular sentiment rather than of an oppressive .system of regulntioii.s. In short the plan of Wentworth ha.s as it object the developing of American citi- ZMw— men who are mentally .ilert, phys- ically sound, and courageous enough to taJce prominent parts ii the educatioittl, rdigious, commercial imd jhyakii. ttfo of fhste monitifls.
