It was the con- viction of the founder, Stephen G. Went- worth. his board of trustees, and the presi- dent of the Academy that a military board- ing school offers the most effective possible means of giving boys and young men a scho- lastic, physical, and moral training which will develop in them the highest traits of manhood. No Waste Time The work of the Academy is so organized that there is no time wasted in idleness. From reveille to taps practically every hour of the day is utilized in some form of in- teresting work or valuable recreation. GENERAL SCHOLASTIC PLAN Small Classes The best scholastic results cannot be ob- N AND PURPOSE tained in large classes where the instructor is overloaded and cannot give a portion of his time each day to the progress and wel- fare of every student. It is the plan at Wentworth to keep all classes large enough to create a good class spirit but small enough for the instructor to maintain a personal contact with all of his students. Instructors Live at the Academy The instructors live in barracks or about the campus and have much contact with the students outside the class room. They are in position to render assistance during study hours as well as in the class room. A true spirit of friendship exists between teachers and students and this relationship is of great value. c • J C 1 supervised oiuay The supervised study periods are of suf- ficient length for the proper preparation of lessons. Besides the vacant periods of the day, two hours each evening, from seven to nine, are devoted to study and those who de- sire may continue to study until taps at 9 ' Mi ¥E N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY Alumni Soldhxs ' Memorial axu Gymnasium— South Entrant Men Teacher and Competition With Boy« For boys of preparatory and junior col- lege age it is believed thnt men teaehers whn are professionally trained and who under- stand boy nature tan get the best results. A normal red-blooded American boy is also in- Firini; the Stokes Mortar clined to enjoy competition and association witli other boys in class work. Report Sent Home Scholastic reports are sent home at fre- quent intervals in order that parents may be kept in close touch with the progress and standing of the student and may co-operate with Academy authorities in inspiring the boy to his best efforts. Moral and Religious Instruction It if the constant aim of Wentworth to create a wholesome moral and religious en- vironment for the students, and to impress upon their minds the ideal of clean living and clean thinking. A correct moral atmos- phere pervades all school activities and school life. Through a balanced day of work, play and study, the morale of the corps is always high. ¥E N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY WE Ixiokino Ea« Across the lmpi a From Hickman Hall Inasmuch as the student comes into close contact with his teachers, this close associa- tion tends toward an upbuilding of ideals and a strengthening of morals. The honor system of discipline is a feature of Went- worth life. The placing of each individual upon his own honor has l een a strong factor in the building of manhood at the school. The general policy of the school is con- trolled by a Board of Trustees composed of representatives of Protestant churches of the city. Wcntworth is strictly non -sectarian, al- though it emphasizes religious instruction and church attendance. Every cadet is re- quired to attend Sunday services each week at one of the Lexington churches. A Cultural No school is complete unless there is a background for instilling into the lives of the students an appreciation of the beautiful and the cultural. The truly educated per- Gi;n Drill With the One-Poinder Cannon :ntworth military academy SlSJHf ov Spring on Marine Fieu son is a truly cultured one, one who has learned tn appreciate the finer things of life. This environment of culture is kept as a constant ideal at Wentworth. It is the cus- tom to make the chapel exercises a daily source of spiritual inspiration for the stu- dents. The chapel periods are held four days a week at 10:30. Physical Training It is the object of the school not to turn out athletes, but to give every boy in school that physical training which he needs. Owing to the fact that the life at Wentworth is is so regular and so conducive to the best physical development, her teams usually are exceptionally strong. Winter Decorations -10- N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY It is to be noted, however, that the school bling and tennis are carried out along the never loses sight of a boy who is not the star athlete, and that he is trained along athletic lines as well as is the boy who is able to make the team. There is no better means of physical ex- All Interested The athletic teams are com- posed of volunteers, but every boy is required to engage in some rorm of athletics. It is the aim of the school to provide coaches for as many teams as can be organized. crcise than that afforded by the military drill. It teaches self -control and graceful- ness of carriage. It de- velops those muscles wfcfofe are most needed through- sides the school teams which compete with other Bchools. each company has two teams and a tournament is held for the company championship. Track athletics, baseball, swimming, soccer, boxing, wrestling, turn- out life. One hour of each school day is devoted to drill, and there are other military formations of short duration which thi- Cftdet attends daily. At all formations he is taught to hold his shoulders back, his chest out, his head up. and his face squarely to the front. The form of physical exercise used by our army camps in developing soldiers is used almost every day at Wentworth. -11- N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY TnE Quartermaster ' s Store Calls thenici These exercises have been developed after years of thought by the expert in charge of the gymnasium work at West Point, and they are used by the entire United States Army. They are the most effective and complete set of calisthenic drill ever developed. They reach every muscle of the body, giving that muscular roundness, erectness, and graceful- ness of carriage which only such exercises can give. An officer of the United States Army, who has recently had two boys in Wentworth, said : One of the greatest ben- efits has been in the physical improvement. The military training and athletic exercises have straightened the boys ' backs and given them a carriage that 1 did not hope for them to acquire in one year. Work in the Gymnasium During bad weather, when it is impossible to have outdoor drill, much of the drill period is devoted to gymnasium work. This work is very interesting and highly beneficial for physical development. The gymnasium is open at all times and during recreation hours many of the cadets find profitable pleasure in boxing, wrestling, and working on the various gymnasium apparatus. Teams in tumbling are developed under an expert instructor and give occasional exhibi- tions at basketball games or at home talent shows. Social Life The social life of the Academy is abund- antly adequate to give the students the recre- ation, culture, and ease of manner whicli properly go with a good education. A class in dancing and social usage of twelve lessons is conducted each year by Mrs. Katherine B. Jones of Kansas City for all students who desire the instruction. Parties and entertainments are given at intervals at such times as not to interfere with the regular work. The spirit of chiv- -12- ¥E N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY Coi.uxu: Chemical Laboratory airy naturally accompanies military training and the bearing of the cadets in social con- tact is always a matter for favorable com- Mtuic The school offers exceptional opportunities to boys who have musical talent in its band, orchestra, and glee club. Frequently during past years the Academy Band has been called upon to furnish music in parades in Kansas City and nearby cities, and in ex- ecution and appearance it did not suffer in comparison with the large professional bands appearing on the same occasions. The orchestra plays for chapel, receptions and dances. From time to time solo num- bers are given and the corps engages in com- munity singing. Developed While the discipline at Wentworth is firm it is not at all harsh. Very little punishment of any kind is necessary. The punishment that is assigned is always of a military na- ture and not the kind which will in any way humiliate a boy- Students who cannot be handled without physical compulsion are sent home. The aim of the disciplinary department is the development of personalities. Hence a great deal of responsibility rests on the students themselves. Students are allowed considerable freedom in regard to their per- sonal conduct and there is no elaborate or rigid set of rules. Many cases of disci- pline are handled by the students themselves and the conduct of the student body is the result of popular sentiment rather than of an oppressive system of regulations. In short the plan of Wentworth has as its object the developing of American citi- zens—men who are mentally alert, phys- ically sound, and courageous enough to take prominent parts in the educational, religious, commercial and physical life of their munities. -13- ¥E N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY Cuff l)Rr T. Approach to U.xjncton !iRn«F. LOCATION EX1NGT0N is the county seat of Lafayette County. It has a population of about 5,000 and is remarkably well equipped with excellent store juildings, public edifices, handsome residences and broad brick street. It has excellent systems of electric light, waterworks, gas and sewerage. Some two hundred and ten feet above the river, the lo- cation is as beautiful and healthful as can be found. On one of the bluffs of the river not far from where Wentworth Military Academy stands was fought the battle of Lexington, which was an important battle of the late Civil War. Lexington is an old town and its population includes many of the oldest and most cultured families of the state. The cadets are therefore thrown with refined people in their social life. The town is just forty-two miles from Kansas City. It is easily reached by two branches of the Missouri Pacific and the main line of the Santa Fe and the Wabash, of which the I exington station is Henrietta, where Lexington buses meet all trains. Lex- ington is also on roads 20 and 13 of the Missouri system and two bus lines operate over the hard road between Lexington and Kansas City. The Lexington is located in central Missouri. The climate here is ideal for a school, since it is cool enough to be invigorating and to offer the winter sports, such as skating and sleighing, and at the same time it is mild enough not to subject the students to the rigors of a more northern locality. The cadets can be out of doors comfortably prac- tically all of the school year. Fuawra Gardens at the Bridge Approach ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY BUILDINGS LL the buildings of the Acad- emy are constructed of brick and stone with the exception of Marine Hall. The build- ings have all been designed for their present use and they are thoroughly adequate and well suited for uses to which they are put. They are heated by steam and hot water. Marine Hall is a building constructed along the lines of the cantonment buildings with such added refinements as are best suited to its u. a e here. It has hardwood floors throughout, and comfortable cadet rooms. The Grounds The grounds, consisting of fifty acres, are elevated, well drained, covered with a rich growth of blue grass, and adorned with shade trees. This gives Wentworth space for athletic fields and facilities for carrying on all branches of athletics with students of all ages. It also gives ample room for the military work. GROUNDS The rooms are designed for two boys each. They are comfortable and well ventilated, and in every case there is at least one large outside window. Each room is provided with a wardrobe, a comfortable iron double- deck bed, two chairs and a table with stu- dent stand electric light. Of course, the rugs and any decorations art furnished by the cadet. Each room is well heated by either hot water or steam. Wash basins, which are furnished with hot and cold running water at all times, are located on the various floors, making them very convenient to each room. The toilets are also convenient to every room and they are of modern and sanitary design. Every precaution with re- gard to cleanliness and sanitation is taken. Shower baths are also conveniently located in the barracks and hot and cold water may be had at all times. The rooms are all convenient for escape in case of fire, and sufficient fire drill is held -15— ¥E N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY to insure safety to all cadets. A night watch is constantly on duty. Gas Room The class rooms are equipped with all necessary apparatus; they are well lighted and well ventilated. Since all classes are small, the recitation rooms are of a size to L I accommodate conveniently the limited groups. Food Supply After forty-six years of experience, the management of the Academy realizes that no school for healthy, active boys can be suc- cessfully conducted on a scanty food sup- ply. The Academy table is set with whole- some, nutritious and well-cooked foods, of which an abundant supply is always served. Every possible care is taken with regard to Cahkt KOOMS Water Supply The water of Lexington is furnished by the Missouri River. Before being pumped to the city, it is settled, cleared and purified. The Academy, however, is not satisfied with this general treatment and has installed a system of modem filters, which furnishes a pure and abundant supply of water. Company Drill cleanliness, sanitation and proper tion of the food. Class is Topocjiapiiy. The Academy is located on the outskirts of the town about one-half mile from the business district. The air is fresh and pure at all times and a more healthful location could not be found. -16- ¥ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY The Dining The dining room is a large airy room well equipped for genteel service. Linen table cloths and napkins arc furnished and china- ware bearing the Wentworth coats of arms makes an attractiv e table. Colored men wait the tables. The walls are decorated with athletic and other student pictures dating back many years. The kitchen is spacious, light, and well ventilated. The equipment is up-to-date in every respect. This entire department is in charge of an experienced steward and buyer and is a source of satisfaction to all con- nected with the Academy. WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY Medical Inspection The grounds and building ' s are given daily inspection by the Academy officers. Every precaution is taken with regard to sanita- tion, and the Academy officers, who are all instructed along this line, are constantly vigilant as to the condition of the buildings and premises. Approved modem methods of prevention are employed by the school. Every cadet is recpiired to be vaccinated for smallpox and typhoid fever, two of the most prevalent diseases in community life. It is interesting Main Ward in Hospital to note that since these requirements have been met there has been no case of cither disease at the Academy. The Hospital The Hospital is located one-half block from I he Academy, a distance which is convenient- ly close and at the same time far enough away to isolate completely any case of con- HrB(Ji:i)Ns OFrin: tagious or infectious disease. It is a nine- room building and is completely equipped for the handling of any case of illness which might arise. There are twenty-five lx ds in the hospital, right of them in the large ward and others in the smaller rooms. Contagious diseases arc promptly placed in isolation wards. Trained Nurse The hospital is under the Jare of a grad- uate nurse who is employed by the Acad- - is ¥E N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY Ji nkw Bahbackk Lawn As Sphinx Approaches cmj ' and whose services are always available for those who may need attention. The Laboratories The equipment of the laboratories at Went- worth Military Academy has been carefully selected with particular reference to the need of the school and includes all apparatus necessary to teach thoroughly the branches laid out in the courses of study. Library and Reading Room A large, well lighted and well ventilated reading room and library has been provided for the use of cadets at all times. Reference books to be used in readings assigned by instructors, and modern encyclopedias are always available. The best works in English literature, including the productions of the most popular modem writers are in the cir- culating department. On the tables are to be found current numbers of the best maga- zines and periodicals. An attendant is in charge during school hours and at all recrea- tion times. Swimming: Pool The swimming pool is on the lower floor of the gymnasium. It is 20 by 60 feet and has a depth ranging from :{ to 10 feet. It is kept heated and is open during all recreation houn:. Wentworth students have the advan- tage of swimming facilities the year round. The swimming pool is particularly attract- ive. Every boy loves to swim. Here he can engage in this wholesome sport through the entire winter. The water in the pool is al- ways warm, kept so by a special heating plant installed for that purpose. -19- ¥E N TWO RTH MILITARY ACADEMY Looking West on the Campps All cadets arc taught to swim and I team is developed to compete with other school The gymnasium. 220 x 55 feet, is a source of great pleasure and pride to all cadets, lit main floor has 10,000 square feet of playing floor which gives ample space for two basket- ball games, gym classes, boxing and wrest- ling, to be going on at the same time. On the ground floor there is a manual training room, the quartermaster ' s department, Mili- tary Tactics Room, swimming pool, locker rooms and shower baths. This building is in almost constant use during the winter months. It furnishes diversified recreation for the boy without making it necessary for him to seek this recreation out of doors at a time of year when the weather is bad.

He was prosperous in business nnd concluded his long and successful career as President of the Morrison-W ' cntworth Bank at Lexington, Missouri. Mr. Wentworth was always a liberal con- tributor to educational and benevolent causes, and in 1880 he conceived the idea of founding, in honor of his deceased son, Wil- liam Wentworth. a school for the Christian education of l oys and young men. Suitable grounds and buildings were secured and the A Wmnnjrt Ami New England. VT7ENTWORTH is a well ™  known English name and many prominent men of Kurope and America have been its proud possessors.

Hobson and Sandford Sellers as asso- ciate principals. At the end of that session Mr. Hobson retired, since which time Col. Sellers has remained the head of the Academy, and in active manage- ment of its affairs. A charter was secured in April, 1881, and the name Wentworth Male Academy, under which the school began its ex- istence, was changed to Wentworth Military Academy, and thus was started the first military school in the Missouri River Valley. Post of the National Guard In 1889 the Academy was made a Post of the Xational Guard of Mis- souri, and provision was mad e for annual inspec- tions by State Officers and for granting commis- sions to graduates who were residents of the state of Missouri. Ex- cepting the matter of SriXIIEN (I. WENTWORTH Fvundcr of Weutwnrtl, Military Antdciini appropriations the same relation was established between the Academy and the State of Missouri as exists between West Point Military Academy and the United States. Recognition by the Government In 1895 the War Department of the United States, recognizing the work done by the Academy in its military training, detailed an officer from the Regular Army as Professor of Military Science and Tac- tics and supplied it with ordnance and ordnance stores. This detail has continued to the present time and supplies have been increased until the school is now provided with everything neces- sary for infantry drills. In 1903. Col. W. M. lloge resigned his posi- tion of Inspector of Ac- credited Schools for the University of Missouri und was chosen Associate Superintendent and Prin- cipal of the Academy. He remained in this posi- tion for twelve years and had an important influ- ence in developing the standards of the Academy. Col. E. A. Hickman, then a captain in the 1st Cavalry, U. S. Army, an alumnus of Went- worth, was detailed as Professor of Military Science and Tactics. His untiring energy, good judgment and interest in l oys. together with his experience as an officer in the The First Company at Wentworth WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY United States Army, were u most potent fac- tor in placing the Academy in the very front rank of military schools of the United States. Major R. K. Latham came to the Academy as an instructor in 1914. As Assistant Superintendent he rendered much valuable service during the difficult war period. The World War in 1917 stimulated the interest of the country in military training, so that all the military schools of first class were compelled to enlarge their capacities. The attendance at, Wentworth was doubled. I5ut. while the war increased the attendance and the enthusiasm of the students, it worked a hardship on the school by taking many from the Faculty as army officers. Since Wentworth furnished more than six hundred and fifty soldiers, sailors and ma- rines to the country ' , the days of fighting in Europe were days of anxiety at the Academy. Still the work of the school was carried for- ward. At the close of the war those members of the Faculty on leave were discharged and returned to their duties at Wentworth. greatly benefited by their war experience, and prepared to give the work in their various departments full benefit from the knowledge acquired over there.

GENERAL REGULATIONS S it is the object of the Acad- emy to develop each cadet to his highest stage of efficiency, all the regulations for the daily routine are formulated with this object in mind. The schedule of calls will give the reader a knowledge of the routine of the day. During the recreation period from 4:00 to 5:30 P. M. cadets are engaged in athletics or other activities about the Academy and are not expected to go more than two blocks from the Academy grounds, except by permission. It is not deemed advisable for cadets to be about town except on business or for reason- able recreation and yet it is not desired to take them entirely away from contact with civil institutions. Two days — Wednesday and Saturday— are therefore designated for freedom of limits during the recreation period) so that all may have opportunity for attending to necessary purchases in I vexing- ton. No permits to call or to attend the picture show are granted to new cadets except to Junior College students until alter Christ- mas. After Christmas new cadets may call or attend the show on permit on Saturday evenings, provided their conduct and atten- tion to duty has been satisfactory during the preceding week. During the fall term now cadets may attend the picture show in a squad on Saturday evenings. Gambling in any form is forbidden.

It merely requires that boys be in good physical con- dition, of good character and reasonably instructed in rudimentary studies. The boy is assigned to that class for which he seems best prepared. A certificate from other schools as to class standing is essential in classifying o new cadet Special attention is given to the weak points in the boy ' s previous training and his deficiencies in any direction noted in order to be overcome. Cadets should enter as near the beginning of the session as possible, and it is in all cases understood that this is at least for the entire session, or for that part of the school year remaining at time of entrance. Payments must be made accordingly. No exception is made to this rule, except in case of sickness, necessitating permanent withdrawal. DISMISSAL Wentworth enjoys distinction in being one of the best schools in the Middle West and distinctly does not wish undesirable boys. In case of dismissal of a student from the school, the refund of money paid in or can- cellation of indebtedness already incurred will be at the option of the management, and will depend upon the damage sustained by the school by reason of the cadet ' s miscon- duct. ¥E N TWO RTH MILITARY ACADEMY Top Row (Loft to Riirht): Lyon, J.

Taft, May, Wi Causes for dismissal are: Gambling, con- tinued disregard of regulations, dishonesty of any kind, hazing in any form. disobedi- ence of orders, immoral conduct, absence without leave. The Academy reserves the right to demand the withdrawal of any student without the making of specific charges. If a boy ' s pres- ence is felt to be unwholesome, or if he has a degrading influence on those around him, he will be asked to leave. FURLOUGHS Furloughs of any kind constitute a con- siderable break in routine, hampering the scholastic and military work to such an ex- tent that it has been deemed advisable to limit the number to a maximum of eight students per week end. A reduction of 5 ' , in grade is made for each class recitation missed unnecessarily, and the military department likewise takes cognizance of the furlough list in the appoint- DISCIPUNE The ethical value of doing right from fear of punishment is doubtful. If a boy will not conduct himself properly without being afraid of some penalty, he is not the kind of student wanted at Wentworth. As a matter ¥E N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY Faculty and Caults Lose liiKNTm ax Picnity at thk of fact, most American boys have a higher nature and can be reached by an appeal to their better sensibilities. They can be brought to think of others and to cherish their own self-respect. At Wentworth the disciplinary department is organized not for the purpose of exercising restraint and curbing the spirits of the stu- dents, but for the purpose of directing the spirits of the students in the proper chan- nels. Thus n hoy who is reported for an in- fraction of the rules has a heart-to-hcart talk with the commandant or the assistant com- mandant. By no means does this signify that the Wentworth students are allowed to run wild. They are under careful supervision and are required to perform their regular dutip.s, which keep them abundantly busy. But they arc not driven to their tasks by fear or made sullen by continuous punish- Rather they arc given direction and admonition. Occasionally there is an offense of a seri- ous nature, but not quite grave enough for dismissal. In such a case a penalty requir- ing walking or confinement to quarters may be assessed. The students themselves have a large share in the discipline. ¥ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY The Faculty Top Row: Caits. Wadwxl, SArxErr. Kuctxstapt. Brown. GRuce, Lanpcrap. Hjll, Johnson, Hopkins.

SCHOLASTIC DEPARTMENT In selecting a school to which to send a boy, the primary consideration is the chara t i and standard of the scholastic work. The following questions naturally come to mind : Are the courses progressive, yet fairly con- servative? How will the courses offered fit the boy for advanced study or the business world? What kind of instructors are em- ployed ? Wentworth gives careful attention to the arrangement of courses and the selection of instructors so that her students will enjoy unsurpassed advantages. Special attention is given to the student who. for any reason, gets behind in his work. Each member of the faculty is a specialist in his work and has been selected, after a careful investigation, because of his fitness for boy leadership and Organization In the academic organization at Went- worth there are three distinct departments —the JTJNIOR COLLEGE, the SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, and the JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. This division is along the line of the latest developments and the most ap- proved methods of American education. The Junior College comprises the Fresh- man and Sophomore years of college work. It prepares students to enter as Juniors any college of arts or sciences or to begin pro- fessional work in a school of medicine, den- ¥ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY W 1 1 1; «u i ■ -- - i x i HfijfBflBjnr A COBNEK OF TllK LIBRARY tistry, law. or engineering , in some cases it is a splendid place for a boy who does not desire the full four years of college work, but who would like to finish a shorter col- legiate course and receive recognition for it. In the Senior High School there is car- ried on the work of the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grades. It prepares the students to enter any standard college or university, al- lowing for the beginning of specialization along literary, linguistic, scientific, or com- mercial lines. The commercial course is so designed, also, that it gives a good founda- tion for business to those who do not antici- pate attending college. Work of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades is offered in the Junior High School. Educators today generally recognize the ad- vantage of the departmental system for pupils of the seventh grade and higher. So under the present plan the boy in the seventh or eighth grade has the advantage of iMiing taught by a different specialist in each subject. At Wentworth the Junior High School has proved a great success. The Junior College students are quartered in Hickman Hall and constitute A com- pany. The Senior High School students are quartered in the Main Barracks and Marine Hall, where they constitute respectively, B and C companies. The Junior High School students are quartered in Junior Barracks, where they constitute D com- pany. Wentworth believes that she is giving every possible advantage to her students by organizing her scholastic work on the plan of JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL, and JUNIOR COLLEGE. Each school has its own organization and Faculty, which insures to the pupil the great progress of a modern school organization. A boy can enter the first year of the Junior High School Department at Wentworth and complete the three years of the Junior High School, the three years of the Senior High School and the two years of the Junior Col- lege under the advantages which this pro- gressive system affords. -45- ¥ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY WENTWORTH JUNIOR COLLEGE A Her the graduation from high school comes the problem of deciding uu the college or university. At this time many boys select some convenient hirge university and launch out in the fall not knowing what problems lie before them. Among those entering into a totally new and unfamiliar life the number of failures is tremendous, being in most uni- versities from 86 to 65 per cent. The reasons for these failures are many and all are easily understood. In the first place the large universities are badly over- crowded and must drop many students. The method of teaching in college is entirely dif- ferent from that in the high schools. There is no time for individual assistance to the groping freshman. No attention can be given to teaching him how to study. It is mostly education or information that is of- fered and not mental training. The Reason for a Junior College Then the unbounded freedom of the life with the glamour of all manner of college activities and social life distracts innumera- ble freshmen to such an extent that before they realize it they are hopelessly behind in studies. There is no guiding hand to assist at such times before it is too late. Failure means discouragement, disappointment, hu- miliation. These are the facts recognized and greatly discussed by school and college teachers and all who are interested in educa- lion. ¥ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY accomplished. At the end of his second year of successful work at Wentworth he receives his junior college diploma with the title of Associate in Arts. Additional Preparation Every year boys are graduating from high In recent years one great moans of helping to combat the situation has been through the development of the Junior Colleges. These in-between institutions offering the first two years of college work have sprung up with rapidity all over the country. They are en- dorsed and recommended by practically all leading educators and by the large univer- ' sities generally. Some of the particular advantages which the Wentworth Junior College offers arc as follows : Diploma i t t i ( f I ' ll of T VO Many boys desire to go on beyond the high school with their education, but are not sure that they wish to put in a full four years of college work. If one drops out. of the uni- versity before graduation he receives no di- ploma or mark of recognition for the work Labwkatokv Work in Physics -47- WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY Junior College Sophomores Top Row (Left to Right) : L.

Carlock. realizing Uiiu, many want additional prepa- ration for the larger university or profes- sional school. Heretofore many have simply put in an additional year in high school work, receiving no advance credit. The Junior College affords this opportunity for growth and maturity along with the opportunity for taking college work so that there is no time lost and advance credit is received. Small Classes A sufficient number of teachers is em- ployed so that the classes arc small. This means that each student can be called on each day and the instructor is able to know just what he is doing. Instructor Live in the Barracks Being quartered in the same building with the boys, and, having their welfare deeply at heart, the teachers are in a position to give individual assistance, both in class and dur- ing study hours. Supervised Study In an essentially military life, the study hours are prescribed and quiet and good or- der prevail, making the work more concen- trated and giving conditions which make it easier for study. This does not mean that the student sits down at a desk under the vigilant eye of some monitor. On the other hand it means that through the long-estab- lished broad, manly WVntworth spirit for achievement, study hours are observed and maintained by the students as well as faculty so that all may have the greatest opportunity for advancement. ¥ENT ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY Golf on Coi ntsy Cut Links a Available to Faculty and Cam.t3 Regular Habits Tlie regularity of the hours for meals, for exercise, for rising and retiring is conducive to putting every student in the very best physical condition for study. One hour of each school day is devoted to the military ' training and it is to be noted that this work is made interesting under the direction of an officer of the Regular Army. By giving the students privileges gradually tin y in pr epared to use in a sensible way the unlimited freedom they will have when they go to a large university. Athletics The system of athletics at Wentworth is one which gives every student an opportunity to take part in competitive sports. It is not the plan to devote all attention to a few highly trained athletes for the purpose of turning out crack teams, hut on the contrary, by an interesting system of company compe- tition to give every student the training which is calculated to give him the best phys- ical development. Moral and Religious Training Moral and religious training are not al- lowed to drift at Went worth. Tin- chapel r. - ercises held on each regular school day are calculated to instruct and inspire. Church affiliations are carefully preserved. Requirements for Admission The requirements for admission to the work of the Junior College are the equivalent of thaw of the College of Arts and Science in the University of Missouri.

IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS APPLY- ING FOR ENROLLMENT IN JUNIOR COLLEGE— As soon as you have sent in your application for enrollment in the Junior College, have the Piincipal or Super- intendent of the school from which you grad- uated send your high school credits directly to the Principal of Wentwnrth Military Academy. You cannot be regularly enrolled in the college until your credits have been approved. Requirements for Graduation For graduation from college the student must complete satisfactorily sixty hours of work. The specific requirements are as fol- lows: (a) Six hours of English; (b) five hours of History; (c) ten hours of one for- eign language : (d) three hours of Mathemat- io ; (e) five hours of Chemistry; (f) five hours of Zoology. These requirements may be waived on the following conditions: If a student presents three units for entrance in the requirements (b) or (d), or two units in the requirements (e) or (f). he will be excused from that re- (pjirement. If the student presents three units of one foreign language for entrance he will Iks excused from five hours of the re- quirement (c). and if the student is prepared to enter the second course in a foreign lan- guage, he may fulfill the requirement by tak- ing in addition to the second course, five hours of another foreign language. Such exemptions do not excuse the student from the requirement of a total of sixty hours for graduation. Students shall not be permitted to carry for credit work amounting to more than six- teen hours a week. ¥ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY if i Vl Sl l TH at a Football Game Student Sclf-Gov In the Junior College the government is administered largely by the students. This is possible through the quartering of the college students in Hickman Hall apart from the higli school students. It is thus possible to remove from the college men a number of restrictions which are necessary for boys of the high school age. At the same time there is not the bewilderment and free- dom from responsibility which contributes to the failure of so many college freshmen. The teachers in the Junior College super- vise all activities and consult freely with the students: hut there is no feeling of con- straint between instructor and pupil. Thus there is a gradual transition from the dis- cipline of the high school to the unlimited freedom of university life. There is no doubt that the Wentworth Junior College is of great benefit to a number of boys on their way to a higher education. Engineering, according to the professional course determined upon.

So the curriculum is arranged with special attention to the requirements for admission to the leading universities. Graduates from the College Preparatory Department of Wentworth are prepared to enter without examination any college or university which accepts certificate of credit from prepara- tory schools. Last year there were Went- worth graduates in most of the leading uni- versities of the central west, such as Mis- souri. Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska. Wiscon- sin, Illinois, Purdue, Michigan, Washington and Lee, Colorado. Vanderbilt. Chicago, and also West Point and Annapolis. Any l oy of good character who has com- pleted at least three units of Ninth grade work — at least two of which must be English and Algebra— will be admitted to the College Preparatory Department. Work done in other academies or high schools of recognized sta nding will be accepted to count toward graduation. A STUDENT ON ENTERING Ml ST BRING W ITH HIM A STATEMENT OF HIS PREVIOUS WORK FROM THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL HE LAST ATTENDED. The College Preparatory Course is con- structed with reference to the increasing tendency on the part of higher institutions to allow a wide choice in entrance require- — 55 — ¥ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY WlNTKK SlTNKjS ON TIIK CAMPUS ments. Thus a wide number of electives is offered, whereby the student is cnubled to prepare himself for the particular line of study he wishes to pursue in college. Special Course For those who neither expect to go to col- lege nor desire the Commercial work, a Spe- cial Course has been designed. The subjects required for this course ar e the same as those of the College Preparatory Course, with the exception of the foreign language require- ment. No foreign language is required for and well informed, able to be at ease in the company of educated people. For those who expect to enter the business world the Commercial Course is offered. It is not a mere drill in purely commercial sub- jects; it aims to make the student cultured The requirements for admission to the Special Course and the Commercial Course are identical with those for the College Pre- paratory Course. Graduation Upon the completion of fifteen units of work, selected in accord with the prescribed course of study, a student is entitled to grad- uation ; provided. ( 1 ) that in addition he has completed the year ' s course in Military Sci- ence. (2) that he has spent one full year in residence at the Academy, (3) that he has paid all the fees due to the Academy. Four of the fifteen units are completed in the Ninth Grade. ¥E N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY MUSIC Band Instruction in all band instruments and in mandolin and guitar is given by Major F. A. Pay. Major Day is an exceptional performer on brass instruments, reed instruments and on the mandolin and guitar. His manv struments give him an endowment rarely found for teaching. Under his direction tho band is rapidly developed and is prepared to play on the march and give concerts almost at the beginning of school. His band has as a Junior Club in the Mis- Glee Club N. L.

Its director, Major Fred A. Day, evidently is carefully trained in military band work, for the Wentworth organization really was worth hearing. The band is listed among the federated music clubs and is the first mili- tary band in the United States to have been admitted to membership.

That there is need for such a department has been proved by the numbers of boys that have ljeen its mem- bers and the benefits they have received. For parents who find their son practically lost in a large grade in a city school, or irri- tated by a teacher who cannot understand the problems of a growing lad, Wentworth offers a solution of the problem. Moreover, public school instruction to be successful needs co-operation and supervision of study in the home, and some parents are ao situ- ated that they are not able to give the atten- tion that they would like to give to the r chil- dren ' s study. The Wentworth Junior High School is an excellent place for the son of busy parents. At Wentworth the teachers are especially adapted to the teaching and supervising of boys. The instructors are college trained and are versed in the advanced methods of education. They not only teach the boys in their care, but also live with them, guide their exercise, provide for their amusements and give advice on the many problems that confront all young students. Moreover, as- ¥ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY Graduating Class. Junior limn School sociation with older students of (he Academy in the drill, and to a limited extent in ath- letics and social life, quickly produces in the small boy manliness, self-reliance, and a de- sire to do things worth while. While the boy is not subjected to naming, he is cared for sympathetically. While he is not subjected to undesirable contact with older boys, he has the advantage of associa- tion with them where such association is wholesome. While he is not petted and pam- pered, he is provided with the environments of home life. So. unless there is something pathologically wrong with him. he will rap- idly acquire an alertness, a manliness, and a desire for honorable achievement. A d mission Any boy of good character who has com- pleted the Sixth grade or its equivalent will In- admitted to the Junior High School. Work done in the Seventh, Eighth or Ninth grade in any school of recognized standing will be accepted to count towards graduation. A student entering and claiming advanced standing must bring with him a statement of his previous work from the Principal of the school he last attended. To graduate from the Junior Hijrh School a student must complete all of the work of the Seventh and Eighth grades, with the ex- ception of Manual Training, and at least four courses — three of which must be Gram- mar and Composition, Algebra and Civics — in the Ninth grade. This will enable him to enter the Senior High School from which he can graduate in three years. HR- ¥E N TWO RTH MILITARY ACADEMY Loww Class.

The idea contemplated a small standing army and lie- hind it a great national army of citizens upon whom we must always depend as our greatest insurance against attack. The problem of officering the citizen army was solved by establishing in nearly four hun- dred of our schools and colleges units of the Reserve Officers ' Training Corps.

All expenses incident to the camp, and a small per diem are paid by the War Department. Clean Competition Next to the broad humanitarianism of the Wentworth system of discipline, an out- standing feature is the spirit of clean com- petition by means of which added impetus is given to all activities. This spirit is carried throughout the year into practical and theo- retical military instruction, care of arms and equipment, and care of rooms; and at the ond of each report period the winning com- pany in each of these three competitions is awarded a decoration. When he considers his company as a team competing against other learns the cadet goes at the work with greater eagerness and determination, and the more readily puts aside his personal pleasure for the good of his team.

This can- not be done without attention to social activ- ity. As everyone knows, the air of a gentle- man — the ability to meet strangers and to feel at ease in any gathering of people — is a very valuable asset and one that can be acquired only by participation in previous similar sit- uations. Wentworth attempts to create a social life similar to that which the students will meet later and to give this social confi- dence that is important to every ' business man. Recall your ideal business man — does he not possess this quality? Then, too, the more student activities the greater interest the boy takes in his sur- roundings. The better a cadet is satisfied the more work he will do and the greater co- operation he will give in the serious work of the school. During the school year there are three -78- The object of a private school education is to give the student an all-round develop- ment and to prepare him as nearly as possi- Thk Gt.m Read ran HaujowbIn VENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY Saxophone Section of Ihe Band Bkans, McKinney, N.

The first of these is in the Fall — a combined football banquet and dance. Early in the spring occurs the an- nual VV Club Fete. This is the gala event of the year. It lasts two days, beginning Friday evening with a concert- vaudeville show, and reception. On Satur- day there are a concert by the cadet band, military parades, and a baseball game. The event closes Saturday night with a masque- rade ball. The final commencement dance is probably the largest and most quietly im- pressive of all. About two hundred couples usually attend. Wentworth is fortunate in possessing a hall large enough to make these affairs possible. The gymnasium is used and has a dancing space of 200 feet by 50 feet. The floor is of excellent hard maple. At a glance it might be thought that with so much entertainment the serious work of the school would be handicapped. Quite the contrary, however, is the case. Most of the events come on Friday and Sat- urday nights, the off nights of the week. If by any chance something occurs in the middle of the week the regular study hours are held first. So no matter what else may happen the regular study hours arc always -79- carried out. All affairs are properly super- vised and chaperoned. They are a part of the school work. The cast of these affairs is mostly cared for by the fee paid at the beginning of the year and when there is an admission it is always relatively small. These events all tend to relieve the mo- notony of school life and are essential to the complete development of the in- dividual. The added interest of a social life carries over into the serious work, as has been proved many times, and adds force to the old, familiar saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

It is one of the primary aims of the publication to unify school spirit and to serve as a means of expression for the entire student body. The paper seeks to record the happenings at the school and to present them in a readable form. In the annua! state contest held at the Uni- versity of Missouri this year, The Trumpeter was given honorable mention among school papers in the junior college, military school, and private school class. In addition, two members of the staff were given honor- able mention in the individual writing com- petition.

The members of the class serve as regular reporters for the paper. They are assigned to the various departments and activities on the campus, and arc required to write the news in correct journalistic style. The stu- dent editors are usually chosen from the class, or are students who have had previous newspaper experience. The experience gained in the work on the staff of The Trumpeter is especially valuable for those who plan to study Journalism in college. Regular English credit is given for the course.

Mr. Blackman is one of the most widely known men in athletics as well as church affairs in this section of the country. He is of tiie aggressive type of church man who is able to exert an excellent influence ¥ENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY on young men. He is an expert in boxing, having had broad experience in college and army. Mr. Blackman was at one time Na- tional Chaplain of the American Legion. His weekly meetings with the boxing team added materially in their success. In addition to the foregoing, Maj. S. Sellers, Jr., one of the best tackle and kick- ers the University of Chicago ever had, as- sists in football. Maj. Sellers also won hon- ors in basketball, track, and tennis. In 1909 he won the Western Interscholastie Ten- uis Championship, at the University of Chicago. Practically all of the faculty r members have some special preparation and assist in the coaching of teams. It is certain that no I ' reparatory school ever had a more imposing array of coaches than Wentworth. Wentworth is indeed for- .tunate in having such men m school and it is an as- sured fact that each member of the large of players will receive ample expert coaching and a chance to show his worth Iwfore com- petent judges. I n addition to the coaches of the school teams each company team and each athletic class has its qualified coach and instructor. Each faculty man takes charge of that branch of work for which he is best qual- ified. Each cadet in school can receive instruction in any branch of ath- letics he may choose. 111. Mass or Company Athletics The Wentworth system of Company Ath- letics reaches every cadet in school and is therefore the most important part of the t entire system. Each cadet is re- JP quired to make a certain number fl of units in athletics, the same as 4 Br he has to meet certain require- ments in his scholastic work. To explain-for participation in any department of the work a certain numher of credits is given, the number being in proportion to the amount of work. The number of credits and. amount of work is so arranged that most student ¥E N T¥0 RTH MILITARY ACADEMY An Ordinary Atternoon in thk Gymnasium Thin art two batket ball game in progr .

While the boy is required to make these credits such a large and interesting array of sports is offered that the compulsion feature is seldom necessary, most students making more than the required units. In addition company teams, two teams to each company, in practically every sport are formed and a championship played out. This gives prac- tically every cadet in school work in actual competition, and so he gains initiative, stamina and a desire to win, and many other good points universally conceded to be gained from competition. Great interest is shown by the entire student body in these games, large and very enthu- siastic crowds being present when a company contest is staged.

Varsity or Inter-School Competition Wentworth is a member of a Conference or League called the Missouri State Confer- ence, an organization of Military schools and colleges. This gives our teams a defi- nite championship to work for, and the Con- ference eligibility rules keep the men com- peting on a uniform basis.

Wcntworth ' a past and present record is one of which it can be justly proud. Went- worth has held the football championship more than any other school and has success- fully competed against many of the best col- lege teams of the state. The 1925 football team started out in great shape, winning over one of the strong- est college teams of the state. Warrensburg. in an early season game. It also won its first conference game. After this conditions beyond control somewhat handicapped the work and the season ended poorly. How- ever, many of the team will return next year and this year ' s defeats have instilled a strong desire to make full atonement next fall. An intersect ional game is played each year. This gives a game of unusual inter- est to the schedule. This game was lost to Terrill School here this year. Next fall the team goes to Dallas, Texas, for a return game. The basket ball team also experienced a season below normal. However, their losses in the regular schedule were partly atoned for when the team won its intersectional game from Shattuck School, after a pleas- ant trip to Fairibault. Minnesota.

These teams had quite uled a number of intersectional games with a number of contests and for new sports teams scattered far and wide. This adds were very successful. Th ese activities are be- coming better organized and better in every way each year. Next year we expect our minor sports to take a more prominent part in the winter ' s activities. The baseball team of 1926 was the best for a decade and won the Conference Cham- pionship. On track there were severul stars who broke some school and conference records. The tennis courts have been made good use of the past season, the weather of early spring, however, preventing the practice necessary to the developing of net stars. Still the later work of several young cadets promises great things for next spring. Capt.

Texas, here; Basket Ball, Shattuck School, Faribault, Minn., there ; Boxing, Cul- ver at Culver, Ind.; National Track Meet at Chicago. As usual football and the other sports this year emphasized the fact that the big major- ity of our athletes are developed and trained right here in Wentworth. A vast majority of the Varsity team members were members of previous scrub and company teams — an ex- cellent tribute to the entire athletic system operating here. All boxing at Wentworth is under direct supervision of instructors. Students are taught the fundamentals and given the op- portunity to develop skill and alertness. They are allowed to box only for short intervals. _ _ Captain I.. B. Wikopt Mr of Atkletict ¥ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY Boxing Team Hf NM.rr. Ji:nl-m . I.awuknok, Captain; Mc I- arun.

To foster varsity or school athletics and encourage athletes a W Club has been formed and is in full operation in school. It is composed of all men who have won their letter in any sport. This club naturally contains some of the best men in school and does much to aid athletics. It also leads in social life as the Spring Fete and Banquet are two of the biggest events during the school year. Membership in the club is a much sought for honor. There is an auxil- iary club called the RW Association, com- posed of second team members. Its organi- zation and purpose is very much the same as that of the W club. Emblems are given those making the vari- ous school teams. Every time a letter is won in each sport a sweater is given. Mem- bers of championship teams are presented gold emblems in addition. For second team members the standard KW is given. V. Summary A survey of the foregoing will show that in athletics Wentworth is exceeding well equipped. To a growing and red-blooded boy this means much, and adds much to his in- terest in school, even in non-athletic pursuits. Athletics promotes and fosters a school spirit that is carried into every department of school life. Wentworth Spirit is one thing of which the students are proud and a thing recognized by every cadet in school. While it may be evidenced more strongly in athletics it is carried over into all other work. It keeps the students on their toef and adds zest to work that would bo spirit- less in a school where athletics is neglected. When a student takes a strong interest in any one department, as all here do, in athletics, that interest can- not help but be carried oven into the other school activities. It must not be thought, however, that athletics is the big thing in life here. It is not ; it is simply a feature of school life necessary to a boys ' school that takes its proper place in relation to the all im- portant scholastic work. Ath-i letics is simply an added ma-l chine in the factory to buildl perfect manhood.

The charge for bed and care in the hospital is $2.00 a day. No bills arc incurred for students except upon order from parents or guardians; but the fact of sending a boy to the school is con- sidered authority to order the necessary uni- forms and to furnish him with such articles as are necessary to his comfort and neat ap- pearance.

Unless this statement shows a credit balance a remittance is expected by return mail. Should this not Ik- received within ten days the account will be subject to sight draft and credit will be suspended without further noticCt ble for any property left on the premises by a departing student. Hoys without good character and persever- ance are not desired. Physical compulsion w ill not be used to keep a weak or student in school. The most satisfactory way to provide for pocket money is to deposit with the head bookkeeper sufficient to provide the boy with some money each Saturday. At the rate of $2.00 a week this will amount to $30.00 from the opening of school to the Christmas holi- days and $42.00 from the end of the holidays to the close of school. An amount greater than this will not be issued at the Academy. Cadets who enter after the first month are charged from date of entrance only. Students are admitted only on condition that they remain at the Academy the entire school year, unless suspended, dismissed, or forced to withdraw on account of sickness. In case of suspension, dismissal, or voluntary withdrawal, no money paid on tuition or other fees will he refunded and any unpaid balance on account of such fees for the school year shall become immediately due and payable to SPECIAL DIRECTIONS TO PARENTS Read carefully the foregoing terms and re- quirements. Fill out blank application at end of cata- logue. Inform the Superintendent fully in refer- ence to the disposition of the boy for whom application is made and the character of the education intended for him. No time is set apart for the cadets to visit their homes, or other places, except for the ( hristmas holidays; the interruptions pro- duced by going home at any other time are a great disadvantage to the cadets. Hence fur- loughs are not granted except in case of necessity. Every boy ' s teeth should be attended to before he starts to school, so that his attend- ance upon school duties may not be inter- rupted by dental work. Evidence of successful vaccination must l e shown or the cadet must be vaccinated on arrival. It is strongly recommended that all stu- dents before entering take the anti-toxin -104- ¥ENT¥ORTH MILITARY ACADEMY CAUST I .
