VORTHINGTON SEMINAR
FOR YOUTH OF BOTH SEXES,
At WORTHINGTUN, MOBILES CO. MINI
ON THE ST PA W. & 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 a
seminary Of learning, on liberal basis, at some
favorable point was part OF their plan.
1t has been Judged advisable to put tho enter
prise under denominational control it is, accord
ingly, introduced under the patronage Of tho
Methodist Episcopal Church, and a. auxiliary to
Hdmline University. 1t will be conducted in
the most catholic spirit: the object being to unite
liberal culture with tho precepts and spirit OF tho
Christian system.
The Seminary building, now known a. the
Methodist Church Block, is spacious and attract.
i've, and admirably located 1t fronts on tho
Public Square, In Worthington, 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
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 be
ormed especially for the first six months, during
which time, it may he presumed, many will b
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 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. Humiston takes charge Of a department
with which he has been long and honorably con-
nected, aud brings With him, as gift to the in
Stitution philosophical and chemical apparatus
worth six hundred and fifty dollars.
PRICES OF TU1TIoN.-In order to extend as far
rs possible, the Dement'S of the institution to those
who desire it, and to meet the stringency of the
times, tuition, for the lrst six months, will be but
e5.00 per quarter This charge will be uniform
for all studies except instrumental music, French
and ornamental needlework.
Address all communications In regard to the
Seminary to b. H. CREvER, Worthington, Mobiles

BoARp1Na.-Students can. during tho coming
winter, be accommodated in private families on

fer to board themselves. AS soon as the success
of the institution is assured, boarding house
