120 History of Hingham. 



And no persons except such as are above mentioned and described, shall 

 on any pretence be ever admitted to the said School, unless the number 

 of female scholars in the said School be less than thirty, or the number 

 of males less than forty, in either of which cases, the said Trustees, their 

 survivors or successors, may admit such a number as shall increase the 

 number of female scholars to thirty, and the number of male to forty ; 

 preference forever to be given to such poor Orphans whose guardians or 

 patrons shall request their admittance. 



And the aforesaid grant, release and confirmation is on this further 

 trust, that the said Trustees, their survivors or successors, appropriate to 

 the use of the scholars aforesaid, the two largest rooms in the dwelling- 

 house standing on the land aforesaid, fronting westerly on the road ; the 

 lower room for the use of the males, the upper for the use of the females. 

 But if the said rooms or either, at the time of the said Sarah's decease, 

 shall be unfit or shall afterwards become so through age or any accidents, 

 or shall be totally destroyed, they shall out of the rents and profits afore- 

 said, rebuild or repair the same, as the case may be, upon the same place 

 if possible, and if not, then they shall provide some other convenient 

 place, provided the same be always central to the said north parish, as 

 near as may be. 



And the aforesaid grant, release and confirmation is on this further trust, 

 that the said Trustees, their survivors or successors, annually, after said 

 Sarah's decease, appoint some able minister of the Gospel to deliver in 

 the said north parish, a sermon to the said scholars, for the purpose of 

 inculcating such principles as are suited to form the mind to virtue ; for 

 which, from the rents and profits aforesaid, lie shall receive the sum of 

 six pounds lawful money. 



And the aforesaid grant, release and confirmation is on this further 

 trust, that out of the rents and profits aforesaid, the said Trustees, their 

 survivors or successors, always keep the buildings aforesaid and the fences 

 on the land in good repair, and discharge all taxes that may be assessed 

 thereon ; and after such repairs are made, taxes discharged, and all 

 charges that may accrue in the execution of the several trusts aforesaid 

 are paid, the said Trustees, their survivors or successors, shall pay the 

 residue, if the whole should be found necessary, to the Preceptor and 

 Mistress aforesaid, at such times, and in such proportion to each, as said 

 Trustees, their survivors or successors, shall find necessary and con- 

 venient ; and if any money shall then be found remaining from the rents 

 and profits aforesaid, the same are to be loaned on interest upon good 

 security, at the discretion of the said Trustees, their survivors or success- 

 ors, and the interest thereof appropriated to such uses and purposes, as in 

 the opinion of said Trustees, their survivors or successors, will most con- 

 tribute to the interest and most promote the end and design of instituting 

 and founding the School aforesaid. 



And further, it shall forever be the duty of said Trustees, their sur- 

 vivors or successors, in case either the said Preceptor or the said Mistress 

 misbehave in the aforesaid employments, or become unequal to their dis- 

 charge through age, sickness or any infirmity of body or mind, to remove 

 them or either of them, and appoint others in their stead, and so do from 

 time to time, as often as any Preceptor or Mistress shall decease, mis- 

 behave, or become unfit as aforesaid ; and also dismiss any scholar of 

 either sex from said School who shall conduct him or herself with im- 

 propriety so as to infringe the rules of the School.
