30. 1903 Reports
Officers of the Conference (p. 2). Trustees of Shenandoah [Collegiate] Institute: J. N. Garber
(1905), Pres., G. P. Hott (1905) Sec., Prof. J. H. Ruebush (1906), A. S. Hammack (1905), J. C. S. Myers
(1904), F. M. Smith, Jr. (1906), G. B. Fadeley (1904), A. P. Funkhouser (1904), and W. B. Keeley
(1906). Visiting Committee to Shenandoah [Collegiate] Institute: S. D. Skelton and G. W. Stover.
Appointed: Special Treasurer for Shenandoah [Collegiate] Institute, S. R. Ludwig.
Our people are increasingly interested in the education of their children and as a result a number
of their children are now in Shenandoah Collegiate Institute. The work in the past year has been good,
and—with Prof. E. U. Hoenshel at the head of the School as principal and Profs. J. H. Ruebush and
C. A. Funkhouser as his immediate associates and a number of efficient teachers—the Institute has taken
high rank and is successful, as is shown by the fact that the present attendance is the largest in the
history of the School. The School and board of trustees were made to mourn the loss by death of Dr.
C. M. Strickler, the efficient president of the board of trustees…. A. S. Hammack, P.E.
Excerpts of the Report of the Committee on Education (p. 26-27). …Now brethren, this is
the thought that I want to impress upon you here. The public schools must furnish the educational
facilities for the great majority of the youth of our country for many years yet to come. Only the few
can hope to have the benefits of private instruction. Then let it be one of the purposes of your ministry
to exert an influence, and lend a hand, if occasion presents itself, in making the public schools the very
best that it is possible for them to be. Now and then a young man or a young lady will be able to rise
above the public school instruction, but even they will get their first lessons at the district school.
Remember, the members of your church have not received their education in college; and in all
probability their children will not. The public schools will influence the citizenship of our country for
many years to come. Again, let me say, help to make this great educational system a real blessing. But
do not let your zeal for the cause of education stop here. If you find a young man who has the means
and the ability, try to get him into a good school. Urge him to develop his powers of mind, to give to
