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 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

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-
