let. The location of Worthington,
considered in it's natural state, is
one Of unusual beauty, and with the
embellishments that have been ad-
ded by the hands of those whose
homes are here, it stands at the
present time as one of the prettiest
little cities of state distinguished
for it's many beautiful towns. The
town is regularly laid out, the
streets and avenues crossing at
right angles, and with the ample
provision that was made in early
years for parks, and tree decked
thoroughfares, Worthipgton pre-
sents the appearance of a woodland
city.
Especially is this true in the
summer season, when the beautiful
avenues and parks are clothed in
the emerald foliage of the spring
and summer months. Worthing-
ton has passed beyond the primi-
tive stage of growth where doubt
and speculation as to it's future at
tended every effort at the work of
development. The improvements
of later years are not only greater

tial character as we'll. The primi-
tive wooden structures are being
replaced by solid brick blocks,
many of which are of a metropol-
itan character. The changes for
the better extend to both public
and private enterprises, as will be
noticed as we proceed. The growth
and advancement of the past has
! been accomplished with view to
future expansion and enlargement.
Figuratively speaking, the founda-
tion has been laid broad and deep.
Public improvements have been
wisely and judiciously made and
the conditions for an augmented
growth are peculiarly favorable
AS an evidence of the above fact
we point the reader to the
Public Schools
of the place, with an elegant build
ing erected at a cost of not less
than $4,000, and conducted on a
plane of equality with any city of
like population in this or any other
State. The care taken by the Board
of Education to secure first class
teaching for the pupils is eyinced
by the fact that the three teachers
in the High School are college
graduates, and the teachers of the
grades below are graduates of the
Normal Schools of the State. AS q
consequence of the excellent disci-
pline and instruction of these
schools their pupils pass the rigid
and critical examinations of the
State Board, and diploma from
the High School of Worthingtop
is passport for the holder to the
respect of the public, SO far as
scholarship y is concerned. ."--
The intellectual status of com.
munity is largely indicated by the
character Of it's educational advan.

such a standard, will bear the most
critical comparisons, A graded
