♦ WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY A Mattvr i ik Pktaii. In the Commandant ' s (irwt GENERAL REGULATIONS AS IT is the object of the Academy tip develop each cadet to hi highest stage of efficiency, all the regulations for the daily routine are formulated with this object in mind. During the recreation period from 4:10 to 5:50 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 cadetB 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 Lexing- ton. No permits to call or to attend the picture show are granted to new cadets except to Junior College students until after Christ- 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 new cadets may attend the picture show in a squad on Saturday evenings. Requirements for Admission Wentworth Military Academy makes no special examination for admission. It merely requires that boys be in good physical con- dition, of good character and ready for high school work. A certificate from other schools as to doss standing is essential in classifying a 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, must be made accordingly. } ' agt Twentif $ix

♦WENTWORTH MILITARY ACADEMY The Gymnasium Lawn 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. The Academy reserves the right to demand the withdrawal of any student without the milking of specific charges. If a boy ' s | ns ence is felt to be unwholesome, or if he has a degrading influence on those around him. or has been guilty of conduct unbecoming a gentleman, he will he asked to leave. Furloughs Furloughs of any kind constitute a consid- erable break in the routine, hampering the scholastic and military work seriously, as well as handicapping the individual. It has been found necessary ' to limit furloughs, aside from the regular Christmas holidays, to not more than two a year for earh cadet. These must be taken at certain definite times designated by the authorities. Furloughs will not be granted at other times except in case of death or serious ill- ness in the immediate family, or other home 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 of fact, most American boys display a proper regard for right or wrong when correctly ap- proached. They can be brought to think of others and to cherish their own self-respect.
