(4) William Brown teaches girls reading, writing and arithmetic, language, 8 whole days at 30/ per quarter 14 in mornings 15/ per quarter 13 in afternoon 15/ per quarter and for some time has been in the practice of taking 7/6 entrance fee, except for those placed with him by the school corporation—he represents some difficulty in enforcing the rules and regulations provided for the schools on account of the greater number of his scholars children of persons not professing with us.
(5) Sarah Lancaster has a school for young children of both sexes consisting of about 64 scholars of whom:
- 35 attend whole days at 15/ per Q.
- 18 attend, sent by school corporation, 10/ per Q.
- 11 attend half days, also sent by them, 7/6 per Q.
Also pay for fuel. She teaches both sexes to spell and read and the girls to sew and appears to have an orderly school.
In all the foregoing schools, which are under the direction of the school corporation, 41 poor children are taught at their expense. We also visited the following schools, the masters and mistresses of which are either members or make profession with our religious society, but are not immediately under the care of the board.
