We trace how Ohio Wilburite Friends built a “guarded education,” from printed minutes and women’s records to a brick-by-brick boarding school culture that survived fire, standardized primary schools, and balanced conviction with modernization. A story of plain speech, strict standards, aid associations, and a networked push for quality.
• women’s minutes printed and epistles included alongside men’s
• boarding school built at Barnesville with local bricks and pride
• guarded culture of plain dress, thee and thou, strict discipline
• bans on baseball and careful curation of reading material
• high academics with limited salaries and leadership turnover
• aid associations and alumni organizing to raise funds and standards
• tuition increases and building upgrades amid cultural unease
• 1910 fire, rapid rebuilding, improved safety and infrastructure
• primary schools revived, subsidized, and gradually standardized
• custom readers published to align texts with Quaker testimonies
• education associations set courses, exams, and reporting norms
• cross-yearly meeting cooperation to supervise and improve schools
A complete list of our podcasts, organized into topics, is available on our website.
