had the pleasure of proposing the toast in its present form . It was gratifying to all present to know that His Royal Highness tho W . M . G . M . was President of the Institution . All agreed that the Prince and the Duke of Connaught were good Masons , while tho Princess of Wales had endeared herself to every Englishman . " The
Right Hon . tho Earl of Carnarvon , Most Worshipful Pro .

terms to the efficiency of the training carried out at the Institution . He had advocated the cause of many charities , but none with greater pleasure .

as an educational establishment . There were 149 or 150 girls in the School , but why should they not double this number ? and to do this they must have more funds ; they had a nest egg , it was true , but a time of adversity might come , and he urged all present to provide against such a calamity .
