The Boys' School Festival.
and since that time 1978 sons of Freemasons had been educated by its means , and there were at present 250 under its care . It might well bo said that , like tho kindred institutions , it was an honour to the Craft and had practically led the van in tho matter of freo education . The result
was highly satisfactory , as Avas proved by tho excellent results obtained at the public examinations . The Benevolent Institution appealed to our sympathy for tho Old People , the Girls appealed to our chivalry , but the Boys appealed to onr brotherhood , as thoy might become Masons
hereafter . The Craft were deeply indepted to thoso ablo brethren who presided at tho Board of Management and who had dovoted . so much of thoir timo in reorganising the Institution . Ho had beon most pleased with his visit to Wood Green on the previous day , ancl congratulated all
on the success achieved in the play ground . Ho therefore appealed most strongly for means to carry on this noble work , the ordinary annual expenditure being £ 11 , 500 , while their only reliable income was £ 930 . There Avere certain other matters that , the
Board of Management would like to undertake , but they were crippled for funds , and the question would soon have to bo faced whether it wonld not bo advisable to remove tho School to somo moro open spot . He had said enough to recommend the Institution to their sympathy ; it was
honestly and ably managed , and ho bogged each brother to givo just a little more than he intended in order to extend its sphere of action . Bro . Georgo Plucknett , Treasurer and Vice-Patron of thc Institution for 25 years , responded , and stated that there never wns a time when
the School was so well managed as at present , so that there was every prospect of thoir future success . The education given was a credit to tho Institution and of the utmost importance to the boys in after life . Tho Secretary read out the list of the amounts brought in by the various
Stewards , of whom there were 306 , London being represented by 109 Lodges , and the Provinces by 197 Lodges ; the total amount subscribed being £ 12 , 212 . The reading of the list Avas received with hearty and continuous applause , which culminated in a burst of cheering when the total was announced .
The Rev . H . A . Pickard Grand Chaplain , in felicitous terms proposed tho health of the Chairman , who , in reply , stated that he had now presided at Festivals in connection with all the three Institutions . On the first occasion his Province ( Gloucestershire ) , represented by 15 Lodges , had
contributed £ 500 , on the second occasion they had increased their support to £ 1 , 000 , but to night they had recognised the duty of contributing to the Masonic Charities by sending in £ 1 , 600 . Bro . J . C . Remington Deputy Grand Master of New South Wales responded for
the Visitors , and said he was fortunate beyond measure in being able to attend the Festival . He had witnessed the prize distribution , and had seen the noble school with its 250 smiling and healthy boys . Tho success achieved at tho examinations reflected credit npon the management
and honour upon tho Craft , and ho should certainly carry back with him to Australia very pleasant impressions of the evening ' s gathering . Bro . C . E . Keyser , in submitting the other Masonic Charities , mentioned tho splendid result obtained by the
Benevolentlnstitution lastFebruary , when £ 67 , 000 wascontributed , and hoped thafc in the future , as in the past , they would bo able to carry out the work undeterred by lack of funds . Bro . James Terry Secretary of the Benevolent Institution replied , aud pointed with pardonable pride to tho fact
that this year alone the brethren had contributed £ 89 , 794 to the three Institutions . Whero is tho other organisation that can produce such a result ? Bro . Capt . S . G . Homfray D . P . G . M . Monmouth , proposed tho Stewards of the day , which was acknoAvledged by Bro . R . V . Vassar-Smith
D . P . G . M . Gloucestershire , and tho toast of tho Ladies , given by the Grand Secretary , brought the interesting proceedings to a successfnl and pleasant termination . Tho company then adjourned to the Temple , where an excellent
entertainment was given , under the direction of Bro . E . P . Delevanti , in which Mr . Barker , Miss Agnes Larkcom , Madame Florence Winn , Miss Kato Flynn , Miss Emil y Foxcroft , together with Bron . Franklin Clivc , Reginald Groome , Arthur Thomas , and Signor Alsepti took part .
