The Quarterly Courts.
THE QUARTERLY COURTS .
THE Quarterly Courts of the two Institutions are to be held next week , that in connection with the Girls School on Thursday , and that of the Boys School the following day , the business to be transacted , in addition to the
halfyearly elections , being of a formal character in the one case and of a special nature in the other , for a proposition will be submitted to the Governors and Subscribers of the Boys Institution to allow of the purchase of a site and the erection
of a new School thereon , and the disposal of the existing property at Wood Green to the best advantage , an arrangement which we hope will be agreed to and entered upon with
the greatest enthusiasm , as we believe that with proper management the change will prove particularly beneficial , and one of the most important events in the history of the School in modern times .
In the case of the Girls School twenty-four children are to be elected , from a list of thirty-one approved candidates , so that , in a manner of speaking , the struggle here will be somewhat lacking in excitement , although we anticipate the
supporters of some of the weaker candidates will use every effort in their power to take advantage of the exceptionally favourable conditions of the coming contest , conditions which , it is fair to imagine , are not likely to be of frequent occurence in the future .
The Boys School , however , presents a different aspect , for with fifty candidates to go to the poll , there are but twentyeight vacancies to be filled , allowing for the admission of
upwards of one half of the candidates , which , though far short of what is to be done in the case of the Girls School , is eminently satisfactory , and shows a healthy state of affairs in connection with the Institution .
Other matters that will require the attention of the Boys Court are the election of a Treasurer for the ensuing twelve months , the election of twelve members of the Council , and the filling up of vacancies on the Board of Management , all
of which items will really sink into insignificance before the proposal to be submitted by Bro . Eichard Eve , as Chairman of the Board of Management , in regard to the purchase of a
new site and the erection of a new School , with greater conveniences than at present surround the property owned by the Institution at Wood Green .
We have already said we hope this proposal will be carried with acclamation , and we take this early opportunity of congratulating the Board of Management on the decision they have arrived at to seek the sanction of the Subscribers to a plan
of immediate action , which course we deem to be far preferable to allowing the question to stand over until the celebration of the Centenary , with which event the proposal of re-building has generally been associated by those who think with us that an
early removal is both desirable and necessary . We have yet two clear years before the Centenary celebration , and as , in all probability , the officials of the Institution have made some preparation for the change , it is
The Quarterly Courts.
not too much to hope that the work of erecting the new School might be well started upon , even if not completed , before the celebration actually occurs . We think it would be much better to let the new School be opened as a part
of the Centenary scheme than that the laying of its Foundation Stone should be associated with so important an event , but we must not be too hasty , as of course there is much to be accomplished before the work can be started upon—the first
and all important step being the carrying of the proposition to be submitted by Bro . Eichard Eve to the Quarterly Court on Friday next . We wish him a full attendance of Governors
and others interested , and the unanimous vote of the company in the great work he and his fellow workers on the School have now fairly set themselves to accomplish .
Lord Llangattock Provincial Grand Master of the Eastern Division of South Wales , has given the Vicar , the Eev . G . Guise Lewis , another £ 100 towards the completion of the restoration of the ancient Abbey Church of Llanthoney , Monmouthshire .
As recorded elsewhere , the Bromley St . Leonard Lodge , No . 1805 , has decided to remove its quarters to the Bow Bells , Bow Road , where the next meeting of the Lodge will be held on Wednesday , 22 nd inst ., under the presidency of Bro . C . J . E . Tijou P . A . G . P . of England .
We are pleased to learn that the Duke of Devonshire , K . G ., has fixed Wednesday , 24 th June , for the ninety-eighth Anniversary Festival of the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys , over which
His Grace will preside . The Secretary , Brother McLeod , will be glad to receive names of Brethren as Stewards , the number at the present time falling far short of the requirements of the Institution .
The Provincial Grand Mastership of Devonshire , vacant by the resignation of Viscount Ebrington , has been filled by the Grand Master by the appointment of Sir Stafford Northeote ,
M . P ., the Brother who has held the office of Provincial Grand Mark Master since the beginning of 1890 , and the one which rumour designated as the new ruler of the Craft in the Province as soon as Lord Ebrington announced his retirement .
Amongst curious occupations , that of " Masonic tutor " is one but little known to the general body even of the educated public , and yet both in London and the Provinces there are rnauy gentlemen who gain a handsome living by
it . To understand this occupation rightly , it must be said ( writes a Mason ) that many people who have become Freemasons are so impregnated with enthusiasm in the cause that they aspire to attain high honours as office-bearers and
masters in the Craft , and to these a Masonic tutor—who is thoroughly posted in all the forms and ceremonies of Masonry and in its literature and history— -is invaluable . Then , again , in the case of Masons who have all the enthusiasm but little of
the time to master the intricacies of the Craft , a ready tufco ; - is of the greatest convenience . These tutors are , of course , members held in high esteem by their Masonic Brethren , though
frequently they are men whose success in other directions has not been altogether in accordance with their own merits , and , being thorough Masons , they are recommended as tutors . — " Eastern Daily Press . "
