WORTHLNGTON SEMINARY
FOR YOUTH OF BOTH SEXES,
At WORTHINGTON, MOBILES CO. MINI.
ON THE ST. PA UL & SIOUX CITY
RAILWAY.
TO COMMENCE ON WEDNESDAY, NO.
VENEER 18TH, 1873.
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 the enter
prise under UNCONVENTIONAL control it u.s. accord
ingly, introduced under the patronage of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and as auxiliary to
Ha'nliae University 1t will be conducted In
the most catholic spirit: the object being to unite
liberal culture with the precepts 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 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 wanting 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
~ them to engage successfully in business pur-
suits. Preparatory classes, however, will be
ofmed, especially for the first six months. during
which time, it may he 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 uncurst by the LIQUOR
traffic. This nefarfous 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 honorabv ron.
nected, aud brings with him, as a git to the in
stitution, Philosophical and chemical apparatus
worth six hundred and fifty dollars.
PRICES OF TU1T1oN.-1n 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, French
and ornamental needlework
The First Quarter will begin, as already an
nounced, Nov. 19th 1873, and end Feb 5th, 1874,
The Second Quarter will begin on the 9Th of Feb.
1874, and end on the LIST of May, 1874. Exercises
