Sale Of The Boys School.

SALE OF THE BOYS SCHOOL .

IT is very satisfactory to be able to announce that the Royal Masonic Institution for Boys has found a purchaser for its School and other buildings at Wood Green , as a " g ° i ng' concern , " which is far more likely to be a profitable

bargain for the institution than if it had been found necessary to demolish the buildings , and break the land up into separate p lots for building purposes , as was at one time suggested in some quarters . We tender our congratulations to the Committee of Management , and feel sure their success in this direction will meet the general approval of the English Brotherhood .

The premises at Wood Green have been purchased for the Home and Colonial Training College , now in Gray ' s Inn Road , King ' s Gross .
