[Sidenote: Requirements for the school at New Garden] 1. The master is to be a member of Friends. 2. The master must teach according to the rules laid down (presumably by the school trustees) as before mentioned in the case of the Horsham School Rules.[562] 3. The purpose stated is for the “promotion of piety and good order” and to “propagate useful learning.” [Sidenote: Goshen] On 12-2-1701, some Friends at Goshen applied to their quarterly meeting for the privilege of establishing a meeting for worship,[563] but this request was not approved until the meeting of the quarter in 1703.[564] In 1707 they proposed building a house for worship which was granted by the quarterly meeting in the twelfth month.[565] Their monthly meeting, as stated before, was not established until 1722.[566] The preparative meetings in its compass were Goshen, Newtown, and Uwchlan.[567] [Sidenote: A school in East Bradford for Goshen, Bradford and Birmingham] Though starting at a much later date as a monthly meeting the records of Goshen are in some ways far superior to many other meetings.
