The Wentworth Male Academy of this city
has recently been incorporated and organic
ed upon q permanent basis. The occasion
Is q good one to say q word IS to Its past,
present and future. 1t will be remembered
that about two years ago Mr.. Robson came
here and was encouraged by many citizens
and by the I%ntelligencer to lay the founda-
ton for q male academy. There was need
for one. Lexington being already we'll
known AZ an, educational point, having three
thriving female ssminaries, fllsd with young
ladies from all parts Of our " and from
other states, 1t was thought that 1t would
| often be convenient to send the brothers
| where the sisters wero at school. Beside,
| there was no school In the county where
young men could receive special preparation
for college or take . special commercial
course, the only schools for boys above the
graded public schools being the public high
schools here and at Dover. Mr.. Hobson con-
sented to try the experiment, and to learn
the ground undertook Q school for q year
singlehanded. In this he succeeded SO well
as to win the confidence of the entire COM
munIly, both As to his competency ~ .
teacher and his thorough reliability % .
gentleman. Mr.. Stephen G.. wentworth
had taken great Interest In Mr.. Hobson's
experiment, and, as q memorial to = son who
had died q short time before, he determined
to overcome the greatest difficulty IN the
way Of establishing the intended academy,
BY presentinglor the purpose the necessary
building. THIS he did . year ago In = very
handsome manner, purchasing the Northern
Presbyterian church, q large sdihcs built d
a cost OF Sl2 900 or $13 600, and which hae
been but very little used. Mr.. Hobson call
ed Mr., Sellers to bis assistance, and thu
school was placed upon = basis more In &C
: cord with the idea Of Its foundation. Th'
gentlemen have been sminsntly successful
> Thoroughly competent. moral and prudent
!, energetic. and with . love for their profes
y sion they have done good, substantial WORK
which is generally appreciated by their pa
j., irons. This is encouraging for the futur
. OF the institution. To remove all uncertain
ties as to the tenure of tho property NJ
:. Wentworth has decided 1t to Q corporal
body representing the six most promtner
- Protestant cOmmunlons IN the county
namely IS. G. Wentworth and W. g.. M
Causland, Of tho Presbyterian church, Henri
i, @. Wallace, of the Missionary Baptist churcl
Edward Winsor, of the Methodist Episcop
y church, south, Geo. M. Cstrou, OF the Chri
81 tian church, VIM. +. kerdold, of the Pr
testant Episcopal church, and Benz. !
Weedin, Of. the Cumberland Presbytsris
church. The articles Of association provit
for perpetuating this board Of trustees |
election by the various religious bodies ME
-, toned, so that it shall In NO wise change I
~. character of representing the Protesta
- church in general. and no denomination
sect. This is . wise arrangement, and W
s,, made to include as many Of the commune
. as could be conveniently done. The scho
~. now becomes q part and parcel OF Lafayet
-. county, to grow with Its growth and
w. prosper with Its prosperity. Every pers
within our borders who takes an interest
the subject of education should help to bu
1t up. Its first few years will be the harde
1t is now on q plane Of almost assured 8
cess, but still 1t needs encouragement mt
more now than 1t will = few years hence.
po our readers have boys to educate they sho'
" send them here. Lexington is u beautl
city, with moral and religious society, "
the advantage Of long culture and ref
ment. The frequent musical and art
IVA hibltions OF the female schools tend to Gu
Wv vate and refine boys, and they there lie
much that they could not we'll otherwise
-A- tain. The school, by endowment and OIL
wise, will become stronger and stronger
the years roll by, and we will have herr
nome . tirst-class academy at q mInim
~of-expense.
