A new committee was appointed in 1784.[411] They convened with the committees of the preparatives and discussed the recommendations and means suggested by the yearly meeting. Their conclusion was to the effect that one thing in the recommendations was absolutely necessary, namely, that all funds, legacies, properties, etc., provided for the schools, should be vested in trustees for that purpose.[412] Without taking this step they saw no way to attain even the least success. It was further suggested that the trustees or committee thus appointed should investigate the present houses for schools, their condition and location, in each of the particular meetings, that a wiser plan might be followed in locating the new ones. The meeting considering the report decided to adopt its suggestions and accordingly appointed thirteen men, to inspect into the state of such schools as are now kept and where it may be necessary, to promote others, and make a report as soon as possible.[413] Its report, produced in the first month, 1785, was quite long. Only the essential points of it are given in the following digest.[414] [Sidenote: Summary of committee’s report of 1785] 1. Most of the committee appointed met and decided to confirm the former committee’s report. 2. We find that there are many schoolhouses within the bounds that include the members of the meeting. _a._ These are not well situated for the service of schools. _b._ Some are well situated, however, as (1) one on land granted by Samuel Eastburn and vested in the school trustees, (2) one on land granted by Thomas Goode, vested in members of the meeting, but not in trust for the meeting. 3. They suggest that these two houses be used as previously and that new houses be erected not more than three miles apart. 4. They maintain an uncertain state has prevailed among the schools. 5. The following places are recommended for new schools to be built: _a._ At the schoolhouse near Samuel Eastburn’s. _b._ On the work road between William Jitchin’s and Thomas Rose’s. _c._ On the road from Newtown to Coryell’s Ferry. _d._ At the intersection of the lower work road and the street road. _e._ Near the south side of Watson Weldin’s land. _f._ On Durham Road near Thomas Gilbert’s. _g._ On Plumstead’s Meeting House land. _h._ And at the schoolhouse near Thomas Goode’s.[415] [Sidenote: New school property of Solebury and Buckingham]
