I Ave equal reafon to conciude that the maintenance and 
pay of experienced journeymen would be at leaft compenfated 
by the fruits of their labour. 
Wuetuer the refidue of the profits arifing from the ma- 
nufactures wrought in thefe fchools would fuffice to pay the 
falaries of mafters, and other current expenfes, | am not pre-

becaufe thefe falaries can fcarcely be rated at more than a 
proportion of the whole profits accruing from the manufactures, 
equivalent to that which private manufacturers lay by to enrich 
themfelves. Indeed I apprehend that if the fchools fhould be 
well regulated, and the manufactures wrought in them properly 
difpofed of, the falaries of mafters would not amount to this 
furplus of profit. 
Tue fees of admiflion of the head fcholars might be applied 
to the purchafe of machinery. After fome time it is probable 
that this refource would be more than fufficient for their pur- 
chafe and prefervation in repair. 
Ir only remains to provide buildings adequate to the pur- 
pofes now mentioned. The expenfe of thefe might probably 
be defrayed partly by fubfcriptions or bequefts, and partly by 
parliamentary aid. Thefe would certainly be advanced with 
alacrity, if the {cheme fhould appear to be in its principle and 
execution decidedly difinterefted, and in the event of its fuc- 
cefs decidedly advantageous to the community.
