_Overtures concerning the education of the Hie-land Boys in the Province
of_ Argyle.

This day the report following being made from the Committee concerning the
education of Hie-land Boys in _Argyle_, viz.

_The Committee considering the Bill remitted by the Generall
Assembly to us concerning the Hie-land Boys_ (_who are given up to
be fourty in number of good spirits and approven by the Province
of_ Argyle) _Do humbly think, that four of them who are ready for
the Colledge should be recommended to the Universities to get
Burses on in every Colledge. As for the rest of the 40, who are to
be brought up at Grammar Schools, The Committee thinks that if the
said Boys should be scattered through the Kingdom they should lose

purpose to make them usefull for the Hie-lands: And therefore do
humbly conceive that it were fitting that every Congregation pay
yearly fourty Shillings Scots for maintaining the said Boys at
Schools in_ Glasgow, _or in other places where many of them may be

the General Assembly by the Commissioners of Presbyteries, and
that Presbyteries augment or diminish the said proportion
according to the ability of every Congregation._

The Assembly having considered the foresaid Report, Approves the first
Overture, And recommends _Colin Campbell_ to the University of _Aberdeen_,
_Duncan Campbell_ to _Edinburgh_, _Patrick Campbell_ to _Glasgow_,
_Zachary Maccullum_ to St. _Leonards_ Colledge in St. _Andrews_: As also
Approve the second Overture, seriously Recommending to Presbyteries, That
the said fourty shillings be collected carefully and sent to _Glasgow_,
And the Ministers of _Glasgow_ shall appoint some sufficient man in that
Town to receive the said Collection from Presbyteries, And to take char
