Another report for 1785 gives the state of schools for that date.

building a house for a master, which when completed there
will be a small fund towards schooling poor children.[579]
For the next six years there are but two reports worthy of attention,
which may be briefly summarized in this manner:

SUMMARY
This chapter considers the establishment of [Sidenote: The
schools in Kennett, New Garden, Goshen, meetings]
Bradford, Uwchlan, London Grove and Sadsbury
monthly meetings.
No early definite reference is made to education, [Sidenote:
though the careful interest in children’s welfare is at Kennett]
all times evident. Not until the “1777 era” do the [Sidenote: A
reports give any considerable information union school
concerning schools. Committees were thereafter reported]
always in attendance upon the problems of the [Sidenote: Rules
schools. In 1781 a “union school” was reported drawn for school,
between Kennett, Bradford and New Garden, property
purchased]
which was afterwards discontinued. In 1785 they
report “several schools,” in partial accord with demands of the yearly
meeting. Land for Kennett school “number one” was purchased in
1792, and rules drawn up for its control. Their scheme for raising
permanent funds was not completed until 1795. Two schools, taught
by members of the society, were under the care of the meeting’s
committee in 1798.
Two schools were reported at New Garden in [Sidenote: Two
1779 and another was at that time proposed. Some schools under
land was conveyed to the meeting in 1785 for the Kennett meeting]
use of a school, and a house built upon it. Another [Sidenote: Two
piece of land was deeded by William Jackson in schools, another
1794 for a similar purpose. Certain stipulations proposed]
were made concerning the school to be established
there. It was found more consistent in summer to employ mistresses
rather than masters.
Though established at a late date, Goshen was [Sidenote:
very active educationally. Land was purchased and Goshen]
a house was being built for a union school between
Goshen, Bradford and Birmingham, in 1779. [Sidenote: schools]
