Educational Monthly. It is hoped that this combination may prove as profitable, or even more so, than
the Quarterly. We trust that our people may show their appreciation of the School and our work in a
hearty support of this publication.70
It is the purpose to open, with the beginning of the Spring Term, a Commercial Department. Mr.
J. I. Miller, of Chapman, Kansas, and a graduate of a commercial college of that state, has been
employed to teach in that department. The promise is for a very hopeful beginning.
Rev. S. H. Snell, of Maryland, has been chosen Financial Agent, to fill the vacancy made by the
resignation of Rev. J. E. Hott; and Rev. J. W. Howe was constituted an assistant agent, to devote to the
work such time as he felt able to give.
I think it is the general sentiment that the School was never in a better condition. Its friends are
hopeful for its enlarged usefulness. Its capacity and facilities are taxed to the utmost. Every room in
both buildings is occupied, and there are 15 rooms elsewhere in town rented by the School. The dining-
room accommodates [fewer] than half the boarders; from 25 to 30 students room away from the
Institute, and both the office and parlor are used for instrumental music, while the principal and family
have but one room for private use. We are literally crowded. What can be done? It is the purpose of
the agents to endeavor to enlarge the accommodations in the nearest possible future. Their work
commends itself to the Church and friends of education. I assure you, brethren, it gives me joy to report
to you the prosperity of this, your work. It has been attained by earnest effort on the part of the friends
and managers at Dayton and the friends and workers abroad.
During the revival season a number of the students were led to Christ. In submitting this
message, I trust I am not unmindful of the source of good gifts and blessings, and I do most humbly and
sincerely give unto His Goodness all worthily bestowed honor. Your fellow-laborer, George P. Hott,
Principal, Shenandoah Institute.
Visiting Committee to Shenandoah Institute (p. 13). We were present at the examinations
during commencement week beginning June 2, 1889, and found the School in fine working condition.
The students, in their examinations, showed such a degree of proficiency as reflected credit on
themselves and the faculty. The year was evidently the best in the history of the School. Therefore, be
it: Resolved, (1) That we lend our influence as a conference in building up Shenandoah Institute.
(2) That we use all laudable means to collect the amounts assessed to our fields of labor for its support.
Respectfully submitted, R. Byrd.
Other Business (pp. 16-17). J. N. Fries, Solomon Burtner, and E. Ruebush were re-elected
trustees of Shenandoah Institute.
June 1890 Shenandoah Institute Graduates: H. W. Bayer (English course); and Mrs. Florence Glaise, H.
