The committee in the care of schools made the following report in writing which, after being solidly considered, is adopted and the clerk is directed to furnish each preparative meeting with a copy of this minute together with the report of the committee (which follows). Most of the committee appointed in the care of establishing well regulated schools for the instruction of our youth report they met twice on the subject and solidly considering the same, believe it would be right for the monthly meeting to recommend to Sadsbury Preparative Meeting the making of such suitable provisions for the accommodation of a school master as is recommended by the Yearly Meeting Minute of 1778—That Sadsbury and Lampeter Preparative Meetings be stirred up to use their endeavors to raise such funds for their respective meetings by subscription as is recommended—as well as in a minute of our last quarterly meeting, by William Webb (and five others).[641] By a later minute we are informed that an instrument of writing (subscription plan) has been drawn up for the purpose of raising funds,[642] which, however, did not prove wholly satisfactory,[643] and was postponed for further consideration. As presented finally and accepted on twelfth month, 10th, 1793, the plan for raising permanent funds was as follows: [Sidenote: Plans for raising funds adopted] Whereas the Yearly Meeting is impressed with a sense of the advantages that would arise from a religious education of our youth, has frequently recommended the establishment of schools under the care of a standing committee of monthly or particular meetings and especially in 1778, recommended the promoting a subscription towards a fund, the increase whereof might be employed in paying the master’s salary, if necessary, and promoting the education of poor Friends’ children. This provision may be made to take in poor children of Friends or others taught gratis or at such moderate rates as their parents or guardians can afford to pay at the discretion of the trustees, etc.
