THE VORTHINGION SCHOOLS


The schools closed on Friday last,
and teachers and scholars are rejoicing
in the customary summer vacation.
Toward the close, they had decreased
considerably in numbers, as many per-
sons in spring return to their claims,
while young men engage in some avo-
cation and young ladies engage in
teaching in the country districts. But
during the winter months, the WORTH
ington schools arc we'll attended and
full Of interest.
The schools of the past year opened
Oh the 9th af September in the school
room in Methodist Block, with Miss
Barbara Cosler, as Principal, and Miss
Phila RoWcll, It's Assistant. For the
first term there were enrolled i'll Miss
C.'s department IS pupils, and in Miss
RS, 76. The fall term closed Dec. 24tl.
On the 10th of january, the winter
term opened in the new school building,
the school being divided into three de-
partments, with Miss Cosler, Principal,
43 pupils; Mrs. DR.. Moore, First Assist
ant, 81 pupils; Miss Rowell, Second
Assistant, 81 pupils.
The spring term opened OH the Sd of
April, Miss Cosler, Principal, 80 pupils,
and Miss Rowell, Assistant, 40 pupils.
1t will be seen that during the school
year Of 10 months or 40 weeks, the at
tendance has been very unequal, the
winter term opening with ISL pupils
and the spring term with 72, for the
reasons above stated.
1t is proper to say, at the close of this
school year, that the people Of Worth
ington are fortunate i'll their schools.
We have good large school building
and have had most excellent schools
under Miss Cosler's management. This
is the general testimony, so universal
that there is scapce]ya Il dissenting voice.
Under Miss C.'s training some II to Is
Of our young ladies have como out
teachers and are teaceing in the coun-
ltry. Rigid discipline and thoroughness
seem to have been the chief features in
Miss c. method, and evidently with
the best results.
Read this several times: Persons
drawing books from our circulating
library are forbidden to loan them to
others. Many Of our books are being
returned i'll 4 dilapidated condition.
We refer our patrons to rules and
in the schedule, which will hereafter be
rigidly enforced.
! 1886 MOORE & SMITH.
We call attention to the card of DR..
II. L. Vradenturg, formerly of Arcola
Illinois, who has opened an Office fol
the practice of his profession in tho
front room over the Posto0ice. He be-
longs to the Homeopathic school OF
medicine, and as there is 10 other ply
sician of that school practicing in the
county, and many of our people prefer
the Homeopathic treatment, we have
no doubt that he will build up a good
practice. He comes highly, recon-
mended. The Arcola Democrat says
of him:
Our young friend, Doc. Harry Vrad
enburg, having elected to become 4 fol
lower of the father Of medicine, old
Doc. Esculapius, took his departure
Tuesday night for Worthington, Min.
ncsota, where lie will hang out his
shjnglo and proceed to the practice OF
medicine. Mr.. V. is a. young man OF
fine attainments and, what is of equal
if not greater Importance, strict integ'
rity and temperate, moral habits
Worthington gainsa good citizen, and
his friends here unite i'll wishing him
unbOunded success.
