THE WOR73IINGYoN SCHOOLS
1t is gratifying to be able to discover
signs OF life and consciousness in our
sister village at the east end of the
stub. SuEle 1T the Rip Van Wrinkles
who constitute the populAnce OF WOr-
tilington have evidently been awaken
cd and have shown unprecedented Gil
terl'rise and activity 10y securing the
establishment of u High school depart
meit. The matter MAS brought about,
according to the ADV ANCE, in this
wise: "AppIic;.tion was made to the
State High school board about Nov. /
for autlorit y To work rs 4 State High
School, which, was granted. This Sc
cures state aid to the amount Of $500,
when the conditions are complied with.
One OF Lle ro"iuS in the upper story
has been tit ted up and furnished where
the High School is now in progress
The Hi.h School is now open, under Il
provision Of the School Law, to any
person in the State who is prepared to
pass Il third grade county examination.
BY the opening of al additional depart
.ment the schools are all more distinctly
divided and work can be done to great
,er advantage. While the course Con-
templates three years in the High
School, still two years are sufficient to
prepare for the smithsonian class of
the strife University.
1t is not altogether pleasant to admit
that LuvPrne has occasion to emulate
the example Of Il town so staid and
sleepy as WOrthingtOn, but the impOr-
lance Of the subject necessitatesthe adj
mission as Il matter Of duty. Even
u,nltr,t!ifliculties consequent upon the
lack of suitable and adequate rooms
for the scl,oGls, our district would do
well to organize the schools under the
high school act and secure State aid.
It may be possible that the amount
now received for tuition will equal
the amount received from the State,
but it is certainly better to get this
money from the State than to take it
from the pockets .df OUR own pee. le.
Under the high school system our
schools would be free to all and the
State woul'! pay their tuition.-Rock

1t must be admitted that heretofore
Mobiles couaty has had ''sleepy" School
superintendent and Worthington has
generally had ''sleepy'' School Boards.
l.ately, however, progressive men have
COME into place on the school board, at
the head Of the schools and in the su-
pcrintenlrncy Of the county schools.
a majority Of these progressive men
belong to what is known as the '1AD-
VANCE Party" Hereafter the public
may expect, (and we pledge our word
that it shall be SOY new life in the
schools, in the management of county
affairs. and in the growth ard general
advancement Of Worthington. The
''old fogies ""Rip Winkles," lin.
! cempetcnts.' and narrow gague men
must take back seats and let there bet.
tiers control our drstinies.
