"It is the opinion of the Committee, that Friends having united with others, in employing such persons for Masters, who have not submitted to the operation of truth, hath had a tendency to strengthen a disposition in our youth to avoid the cross, and unite with the spirit of the World ..." They further remark that the practice of boarding the Master from one house to another in the interests of economy has induced Friends "to bargain with transient persons, often of doubtful characters; some of whom have proved to be men of corrupt minds ..." Therefore, they urge a subscription towards a fund to be employed in paying a salary and to promote the poorer Friends' children.

"Signed on behalf of the committee by Anthony Benezet, Isaac Zane. 29th 9th month, 1778. The foregoing proposals are earnestly recommended to the attention and care of Friends ... agreeable to a minute of the Yearly-Meeting, dated 10 month 2d, 1778, and herewith sent. James Pemberton, clerk of said meeting this year."--Page 2
