FOR YOUTH OF BOTH SEXES,
At WORTHINGTUN, MOBILES co. MINI
on THE ST. rA I'll & SIOUX CITY
RAILWAY
This institution is announced in accordance
with the declaration of the founders of the Ma
| tional Colony, that the early establishment of 4
seminary OF learning, OH a liberal basis, at somo
favorable point, was part OF their plan.
1t has been judged advisable to put the enter
prise under denominationa control it is, accord
ingly. introduced under the patronage Of tho
Methodist Episcopal Church, and as auxiliary to
Han,zine University. 1t will be conducted in
the most catlo:ic spirit the object being to unite
liberal culture with the precepts and spirit OF the
! Christian system.
| The Seminary building, now known as tho
Methodist Church Block is spacious and attract
i've, and admirably located. 1t fronts on the
! Public Square, in Worthngton, within short
distance of West Okabena Lake.
| 1t is intended to make the Seminary an honor
to the State-the 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 waning to the completeness OF
the several departments.
The contemplated course OF study will cover
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 DO
ormed, especially for the first six months during
which time, it may be presumed many will be
unprepared for the regular course.
While the school in itself will be unequivocally
Christian, it possesses, also. the external advan
tages OF location In community not only highly
intelligent and moral, but uncarst by the liquor
traffic. This nefarious trade, the prolific source
OF poverty and crime, is, by law, utterly excud-
| ed from Mobiles county. No thoughtful parent or
| guardian will under estimate the importance OF
this most significant fact.
Prof. Hum.ston takes charge Of a department.
with which he has been long and honorably con-
nected, aud brings with HIM, as q gift to the in
stitutton, philosophical and chemical apparatus
worth six hundred and fifty dollars.
PRICES OF Tu1T1oS.-1n order to extend as far
as possible the benefits OF the institution to those
who desire it, and to meet the stringency Of tho
times tuition, for the first six months, will be but
$500 per quarter. This charge will be uniform
for all studies except Instrumental music, French
| and ornamental needlework.
Address all communications in regard to tho
Seminary to B. II, CREvER, Worthington, Mobiles

BoAKDING.-Students can, during the coming
| winter, be accommodated In private families OH

made to provide for any students who may pre-
fer to board themselves. As soon as the success
OF the institution is assured. a boarding house
