WORTULNGTON SEMINARY
FOR YOUTH OF BOTH SEXES,
1T WOR7IIINGTON, MOBILES co. llINN
| on TIE ST. Phi III f. SIOUX CITY
RAIL WAY.
| This institution is announced in accordance
with the declaration Of the founders of the Na-
tional Colony, that the early establishment OF a
seminary OF learning, on liberal basis, at some
favorable point was part of their plan.
1t has been judged advisable to put the enter
prise under UNCONVENTIONAL control; it is, accord
ingly, introduced under the patronage of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and rs auxiliary to
HaD1line Ua,irers;ty. It will be conducted in
the most catholic spirit: the object being to unite
liberal culture with the prccepts and spirit of the
Christian system.
The Seminary building, now known as the
Methodist Church Block, is spacious and attract
i've, and admirably located. 1t fronts on the
Public Square, in Worthington, within short
distance Of West Okabena Lake.
1t is intended to make the Seminary an honor
to the Statc-thc equal Of any similar institution
| in the West The board of instruction is already
large and embraces, in an unusual degree, both
the experience and ability essential to SUCCESS
AS occasion demands it will be enlarged and
nothing shall be wanting to the completeness OF
the several departments.
The contemplated course OF study will cover a
period of three years; the design being to pre-
pare students for collegiate course or to quail
fy them to engage successfully in business pur-
| suits Preparatory classes, however, will be
ormcd, especially for the first six months, during
Which time, it may be presumed, many will lie
unTepared for the regular course.
| While the school in itself will be ,ncquivocally
Christian, it possesses, also, the external advan
tagcs of location in a community not only highly
| intelligent and moral, but uncurst by the liquor
traffic. This nefarious trade. the prolific source
OF poverty and crime, is, by law, utterly exclud-
ed from Mobiles county No thoughtful parent or
guardian will underestimate the Importance OF
this most significant fact.
! Prof. Humston takes charge OF a department
with Which he has been long and honorably con-
ncctcd, aud brings with him, as Il gift to the in
sttution, philosophical and chemical apparatus
worth six hundred and fifty dollars.
PRICES OF TU1T1oN.-In order to extend as far
as possible, the benefits Of the institution to those
who desire it, and to meet the stringency OF the
times, tuition for the first six months, will be but
$500 per quarter. This charge will be uniform
for all studies except instrumental music, Frencl,
and ornamental needework.
Address all communications in regard to the
Seminary to Il. H. CHEvER, Worthington, Mobiles
Co., Minnesota.
BoAKn1Sc.-students can, during the coming
winter, he accommodated in private families on
reasonable terms. Immediate efforts will also bs
made to provide for any students who may pre-.
fer to board themselves. AS soon as the success
Of the institution is assured, boarding house
will be added to our present accommodations.
