stated that with the view of saving trouble and time of
the meeting, he had drawn up a few rules for the
regulation of the Institution for their consideration
and the same having at the request of the meeting been
read over and considered verbatim, And such amendments
as seemed necessary made. Thereon the Meeting approved
of the same as amended and which are of the following
tenor.
1. That a
small Sub Committee be appointed to consider and dispose
of all applications for admission into the school, and
that in disposing of such applications the Committee

are thought to be worthy of notice and which have been
found useful hitherto - namely that of a strict enquiry
into the moral character of the parents or parent or
other parties in charge of the child or children and the
ability of these parties to afford maintenance and
education and that in every case where there is both
moral qualifications and pecuniary ability, the
application be rejected and that the exception to the
rule be those cases where although pecuniary ability
does exist, there is a want of a moral or religious
qualification for the training |
