The principal object of this society is to raise a fund for the relief of the widows and orphans of such schoolmasters as may die in necessitous circumstances: and the plan for effecting this, is by the subscriptions of the schoolmasters themselves, and by the donations of others, who from benevolent motives may wish to encourage the institution.
