R.M. Institution For Boys.
R . M . INSTITUTION FOR BOYS .
THE Quarterly Court of Governors and Subscribers was held on Friday , tho 31 st ult ., at Freemasons ' Tavern . Bro . W . W . B . Beach , M . P ., Prov . Grand Master of Hants and the Isle of Wight , presided . There was a very fair attendance . Tho minutes having been read and confirmed ,
Bro . John Glass moved " That the Bye-laws as amended by the Provisional Management and General Committee be submitted for approval . " In doing so he said that more than 12 months since , in response to an expressed opinion of a large number of tbe supporters of the Institution ,
and at the desire of those to whom the management of the Institution had beeu for a time committed , a Sub-Committee was appointed to revise the Bye-laws of the Institution . At the first meeting of this Committee it was resolved that the lines on which suoh revision should proceed would be
to frame the laws upon broader principles of administration than heretofore , and to endeavour to prevent the management of the Institution degenerating into narrow channels and cliques . At the same time care was to be taken that the fundamental principles of fche Institution and its
benefits should be in no way impaired . Every member of the Committee expressed , in writing , his views npon the several points that in hia opinion required alteration ; in addition to whicb , numerous suggestions were mado by many brethren who took a warm interest in the affairs of the
Institution , who were well qualified by tbeir experience to offer valuable and important suggestions as to the future administration of the Institution . Bro . Philbrick undertook to consolidate all the suggestions , & c , into a formal code of
laws , this work requiring a great deal of patient labour and careful detail . The work was accomplished by the eminent brother named , and he was assisted in his task by Brother J . D . ' Langton , the Hon . Sec . of the Committee , and to both of these brethren the subscribers were much indebted .
A draft of these laws was submitted to the Provisional Committee at a Special Meeting about last June . The meeting was adjourned from to time until the whole of the proposed laws had been discussed . The Provisional Committee , being a larger and more important representative
body , were undoubtedly in a position to givo expression to the requirements of the Craffc upon many matters appertaining to the government of the Institution . Ifc was also found thafc as tho Provisional Management Committee had compiled a code of regulations for tbe guidance of fche
officers and servants of the Institution , some of the proposed laws were unnecessary ; some also which had been framed in accordance with suggestions made to the Sub-Commifctee as \ to "last chance" cases , and certain advantages to be given fco the children of deceased brothers who had during
their lifetime been Life Governors of one or other of the Institutions , were rejected by the Committee , after consideration , upon the grounds that either they were unworkable or unfair . After several meetings these laws were , as amended , submitted to the General Committee for
consideration . This was a still larger and more important body , with yet wider experience and more expansive views upon the subject . This Committee safc one day for six consecutive hours . There was afc thafc meeting at first considerable divergence of opinion upon some essential
points . There was much searching and sifting , and there was , of course , a rich harvest of academical discussion . All the brethren , however , exercised considerable self-denial , and generously met each other upon matters of detail , and the happy result of that meeting was the almost unanimous resolve that these laws as then amended should be
submitted to the present Committee—the supreme governinobod y of the Institution—for approval . After referring to the most important points , Bro . Glass said that although the Committee were aware that the Bye-laws as submitted
were not perfect in the estimation of every brother , the Committee were strongly of opinion that they should be passed in their present form , and given at least a 12 months' trial . Ifc would of course be necessary that they should be confirmed at fche next Quarterl y Court before they could become operative , and the Committee therefore
asked the meeting to approve them that day . Most members of the Committee had had to sacrifice some pet theory upon tbe altar of expediency , and the Committee
asKed the brethren who were not quite satisfied with these j ^ ws to follow the example set by the Committee . The committee knew it was not by a code of laws alone that they could rely upon the Institution accomplishing its full
R.M. Institution For Boys.
and proper mission of charity and love towards the children committed to its care ; bnt thoy believed that if thoso laws wore administered in the same spirit in which they had been conceived , their Schqol would take high rank amongst
similar institutions in the country , and would receive that generous support of the Graft in the future whicb had been afforded to it in the past . For those reasons the Committee asked for a unanimous vote .
The motion was seconded , and agreed to . A long discussion then followed on different articles , and some alterations were made . Law 35 was altered from the last Friday to the second Friday in April and October for the Elections , it being stated that the Girls' Institution
would agree to alter their meeting from the last to the second Saturday . Law 96 was struck out , whioh authorised the payment of commission on subscriptions collected by
local agents in large towns . Bro . W . H . . Skunders introduced fche several alterations of which , he had given notice , but as his motion was not seconded , it necessarily fell through .
As Bro . Beach was obliged to leave before the Election , he appointed Bro . R . Eve P . G . T . to take his place , whereupon a vote oi thanks to Bro . Beach , proposed by Bro . George Everett and seconded by Bro . Scurrah , was carried
unanimously , and Bro . Beach having replied , the meeting proceeded to elect 19 boys out of an approvedjisfc of 53 . The list of successful candidates we published in our advertising columns last week . We append a list of those who were unsuccessful , with the number of votes polled .
