carly Wilmington, dwelling particularly
upon the old turnpikes and roads. Her
description of the conditions in Will

thirty-three houses was most interest
ing. The class was delighted with the
reading, and Miss Worrall was given a
rising vote Of thanks on a motion made
by Medford ]. White, president. Miss

class, and said that these observation
tours were excellent, end that she was
pleased to find the pla:; in vogue in Will
inington as well as in Germany, where
she was a recent visitor, and while there
had met a number of times groups of
students and instructors on tours of in
hpesion and observation.
