day had the pleasure of attending at the distribution of prizes , and was glad to be able to announce that the . School was in a most satis . factory and efficient state . It was gratifying to all to see the manner in which the girls went through their various performances j it showed that the education at the School had been carefull y attended to . The domestic and useful arts had been laid great store by , at the same time the cultivation of accomplishments had been carefully watched ; in fact the girls had done great honour to themselves ia
the way they had distinguished themselves in their various avooa . tions . In the Cambridge Local Examinations fifteen girls went np " and of them fourteen passed , three with honours , and two of them achieved honour for religions subjects . This was most gratifying because it showed that where an amonnt of talent , existed it was cnl tivated and made the most of . The satisfactory state of health which
prevails at the present time does great credit to the doctor who looks after them . They had the satisfaction to know also that the mis . tresses , with the exception of Miss Davis—who at present was suffer , ing from illness—had been pupils in the School . One of the assistant mistresses had recently been appointed head of tbe Masonio School in Dublin , and another girl had been appointed to the Bristol Asylnm .
That evidenced that those who were appointed to teach in the School were worthy of the confidence reposed in them . During the last ten years the School had increased its pupils from 112 to 230 . This involved great additional expenditure , and additional responsibilities . The Committee never found themselves justified in spending every penny they received ; they thought it prudent exercise of their respon . sibility to build np for themselves a certain amount of capital : but afc
the same time that prudent considerations guided them , it was well to remember their capital formed a very small portion of the sum necessary to conduct the School ; and unless the liberality of Masons was exercised to a considerable extent the School must fail to carry out the great ends it at present was doing . In firm reliance on the libe . rality of the brethren the additional expenditure had been incurred . Shortly afterwards the folloAving list of subscriptions was an . nounced : —
