The conditions presented in the report of the second month remained the same, save that the school between Kennett, New Garden, and Bradford was reported “discontinued” in the sixth month, 1781.[608] Later in that year, the old committee was released and a new list of men, Thomas Baldwin, Joel Harlan, Thomas Sugar, Nathan Cooper, Benjamin Hanley, John Hoopes, Thomas Fisher, Griffith Mendenhall, Samuel Fisher, and George Harrison constituted a “standing committee.”[609] In 1782 four schools were reported;[610] in 1783, several schools not entirely agreeable to the desires expressed in the Yearly Meeting’s Advices;[611] in 1784, three are reported in the verge of Bradford Particular Meeting, mostly under the direction of Friends, but “none at either of the Calns” (East or West).[612] Subsequent reports show that the cessation of the schools at Caln was only temporary. The presentation of this very brief span of their history may be closed with an abbreviated statement of a committee report made in 1792.[613] [Sidenote: Report of 1792] 1. We visited four schools in our verge, one more left, making five. 2. The fifth is likely to be discontinued soon. 3. Number one near Bradford Meeting House (in care of Friends). one in East Bradford (part Friends and part not). one in East Caln (the masters not members of Friends, but willing to be under their direction). 4. The committee was released on request. [Sidenote: Uwchlan] [Sidenote: Education of Negroes mentioned in 1765] In the same year that Uwchlan became a monthly meeting, the Friends entered a protest, saying that the making of wills was too much neglected, but that such as were made were not misapplied.[614] It is quite probable that the first statement is an indication of a philanthropic spirit in the meeting, between which and educational activity there has been noted a high correlation. Moreover, their explicit statement in 1765 concerning the education of the negroes would indicate the education of their own children was already taken care of.[615] The usual transformation in the kind of reports, noted in other meetings about 1778 and following, is likewise apparent in the meeting at present under discussion. Though a school committee was appointed much earlier (1779) there was a very definite report made before 1782. Two reports made then in successive months are worthy of our attention. [Sidenote: Three schools mentioned in 1779] The committee respecting schools report that they have attended to the service, having visited one school, the master whereof is a member of this meeting, to a good degree of satisfaction, some of the employers and scholars being present. They are continued to proceed in that service as way may open and report to next meeting[616].... And a month later
