Now. It might be well if a Law were made by the Governours and general Assemblies of Pennsilvania and New-Jersey that all Persons inhabiting in the said Provinces do put their Children seven years to the publick School or longer if the Parents please 2. That Schools be provided in all Towns and Cities and Persons of known honesty skill and understanding be yearly chosen by the Governour and General Assembly to teach and instruct Boys and Girls in all the most useful Arts and Sciences that they in their youthful capacities may be capable to understand as the learning to Read and Write true English Latine and other useful Speeches and Languages and fair Writing Arithmatick and Book-keeping and the Boys to be taught and instructed in some Mystery or Trade as the making of Mathematical Instruments Joynery Turnery the making of Clocks and Watches Weaving Shoe-making or any other useful Trade or Mystery that the School is capable of teaching and the Girls to be taught and instructed in Spinning of Flax and Wool and Knitting of Gloves and Stockings Sewing and making of all sorts of useful Needle-Work and the making of Straw-Work as Hats Baskets c. or any other useful Art or Mystery that the School is capable of teaching 3. That the Scholars be kept in the Morning two hours at Reading Writing Book-keeping c. and other two hours at work in that Art Mystery or Trade that he or she most delighteth in and then let them have two hours to dine and for Recreation and in the afternoon two hours at Reading Writing c. and the other two hours at work at their several Imployments 4. The seventh day of the Week the Scholars may come to school only in the fore-noon and at a certain hour in the after-noon let a Meeting be kept by the School-masters and their Scholars where after good instruction and admonition is given by the Masters to the Scholars and thanks returned to the Lord for his Mercies and Blessings that are daily received from him then let a strict examination be made by the Masters of the Conversation of the Scholars in the week past and let reproof admonition and correction be given to the Offendors according to the quantity and quality of their faults 5. Let the like Meetings be kept by the School-Mistrisses and the Girls apart from the Boys By strictly observing this good Order our Children will be hindred of running into that Excess of Riot and Wickedness that youth is incident to and they will be a comfort to their tender Parents 6. Let one thousand Acres of Land be given and laid out in a good place to every publick School that shall be set up and the Rent or incom of it to go towards the defraying of the charge of the School 7. And to the end that the Children of poor People and the Children of Indians may have the like good Learning with the Children of Rich People let them be maintained free of charge to their Parents out of the Profits of the school arising by the Work of the Scholars by which the Poor and the Indians as well as the Rich will have their Children taught and the Remainder of the Profits if any be to be disposed of in the building of School-houses and Improvements on the thousand Acres of Land which belongs to the School The manner and Profits of a Spinning-School in Germany as it is laid down by Andrew Yarenton in his own words in a Book of his call'd England's Improvements by Sea and Land take as followeth In Germany where the Thred is made that makes the fine Linnens in all Towns there are Schools for little Girls from six years old and upwards to teach them to spin and so to bring their tender fingers by degrees to spin very fine their Wheels go all by the Foot made to go with much ease whereby the action or motion is very easie and delightful The way method rule and order how they are govern'd is 1 st There is a large Room and in the middle thereof a little Box like a Pulpit 2 dly There are benches built round about the Room as they are in Play-houses up on the benches sit about two hundred Children spinning and in the box in the middle of the room sits the grand Mistress with a long white Wand in her hand if she observe any of them idle she reaches them a tap but if that will not do she rings a bell which by a little ord is fixed to the box and out comes a VVomau she then points to the Ofendor and she is taken away into another Room and chastized and all this is done without one word speaking In a little Room by the School there is a VVoman that is preparing and putting Flax on the Distaffs and upon the ringing of a Bell and pointing the Rod at the Maid that hath spun off her Flax she hath another Distaff given her and her Spool of Thred taken from her and put into a box unto others of the same size to make Cloth all being of equal Threds 1 st They raise their Children as they spin finer to the higher Benches 2.
