BY the opening of an additional depart

and work can he done to great
er advantage. While tie course con

We congratulate the people of Wor
thington upon having finally attained
the point 1T which the founders IF GU,
schools aimed. viz: Of putting them up
on i High School basis. giving then
rank with the schools OF cities lik.
Mankato and Rochester. Not that on,
schools take rank at once with thes+
older Schools as to numbers and eifici
ency, but that they are now on thai
basis and the ideal OF the founders. tina,
Of making the Worthington Schools
among the first and the best in thu
State, can in a few years be realized.
It is important to students to know
that even now, in the present
Of the schools, they can re
ceive an education which will fit their
for teaching in the common schools OF
the State. without the expense of gcin.
to distant points to receive such train
ing. This advance in our Worthing
ton schools, moreover, will tend tt
raise the grade of teachers and OF
schools throughout the county.
