We have elsewhere alluded to the fact
that the Worthington Seminary is to

dents from other counties will expect
to find boarding in private families,
and we wis to say that here is an OPP
portunity for our people to give encour-
agement to the Seminary. In most
cases, there need be no change what
ever from the usual family table, and
the price of boarding should be put at
just about enough to cover actual out
lay. We learn that in Mankato stu
dents attending the Normal School can
get boarding in private families at
three dollars week.

THE RAINS.

The heavy rains, which have been 60
ing up and down in the country nearly
all summer seeking what they could
destroy, struck the Northwest just at
the time when the wheat was cut and
partly in the stack. The result has
been considerable injury to the gathered
crop. A St. Paul gentleman who has
been travelling some, estimates the loss
at probably Is per cent. in the State.
Throughout this section, very little
wheat has sprouted, the prairie winds
coming to our rescue and drying off the
grain almost as rapidly as the rain wet
it. Considera BILE wheat is now being
threshed, however, in damp condition
and thousands of bushels which other
wise might have stood at No. will be
graded down to No. 2 and No. 3.
D. Stone & Go. are building a ware
housa near their lumber office, and are
already buying grain. They shipped, a
few days since, the first car. load of
wheat shipped this season, being wheat
raised on Prof. Humiston's Ocheeda
Farm.

LITERARY NOTICEN

OcrlDnefS monthly fOr september
abounds III good things to make i hun
CRY readers mouth water. We have
been particularly interested in the arti-
Gle on Chicago and the one on Shak-
speare. Two cuts of the death mask
are given, and the proportions of the
poets head and face. In looking ut
this, one feels a thrill us though almost
brought face to face with the mighty
dead. The fac-simile poem Ivy Poe is
interesting. Tie F;rmer's Vacation
is concluded in this number. There are
other good things which we cannot
mention.
St. Nicholas for September contains
a good doal more to delight young folks
than we can mention, among which we
notice Bocko and the Deer, The Squir-
rel's Strategy, Mrs. Pope and the Bear,
An Indian Story, etc. This magazine
would grow better every month if that
were possible.
Godey's Lady's Book for September
opens with beautiful engraving called
The Highland Keepers Daughter.
This is followed by the usual colored
fasl'ion-plate, the pattern plates, and
the interesting reading upon household,
love and other matters. l.. A. Cooley,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

k.--=-~ 4eEH1VAkzOE11l4N8 2kA833Esssaaa u
The Worthington Seminary, the sus-
pension Of which was caused by tie
prostration due to the grasshoprer in
cursions, is, soon to be- revived and
placed under charge of, Prof. E.. C.
Hill. The Professor is an experienced
Teacher, having conducted: an institu-
ton Of learning for some years at Ma.
rion, Illinois. <':.-z2 :'s-' 81. s.sssii:
I'VE have had some misgivings as TO
whether or not:the' attempt should ;be'
made to revive tie Seminary 1t present.,
but it seems there is d demand for &c,
notwithstanding the stringent times,
and that parties from abroad are pre-
pairing to send their children here to be
educated. Some have questioned. the
policy of establishing 2 Seminary at all,
holding that such an institntion Will
interfere with, the fullest development
Of the public schools, Ifvby this is
meant' that a Seminary in our midst
will prevent the building up of those
High Schools in which the accomplish
,mlsnts are taught, there may be some
force in this yiew.. But, it WILDE some
years befor e such High Schools will be
established imtl,e country towns Of this
prairie region, and unless there is a
Seminary established here, or at some
similar point, those who wish, to give
their children, a full education, will
have to send them ;,broad!A' The Wor-
thu ogton Seminary proposes at once to
afford facilities to the young Of this
and the surrounding counties for a
much more thorough education tllan
they can receive at their own public
schools for some years to come.
The pet idea of the founders of the
National Colony, and of hundreds who
are now making OF, who expect to make
This their home, was the building up of
an educational center at Worthington.
This idea ought never to be abandoned.
The Seminary is the initial step, and
nothing will do so much to keep up the
tone Of the community, to draw culti-
waited people, and to keep out the liquor
traffic, as the. establishment of one or
more institutions of learning. Such
towns as Oberlin and Westerville, Ohio,
Evanston, Illinois, and numbers of
Others, are educational centers, and the
fact that they are such prevents the in
PRODUCTION: of liquor saloons. The
Worthington Seminary ought to be
erected in our midst as. the strongest
tower and bulwark which we can build
against the liquor traffic. If we wish
to make this community one in which
culture, temperance and character are
at 4 premium, let us make it an educa-
tional center, and t Ike the initial step
by doing all in our power to establish
the Worthngton Seminary.
