THE course of training followed by tbo Masonic Educational Charities , in common with many similar institutions in various parts of the country , is looked upon as more or loss successful in proportion to tho results that can bo shown as emanating from tho pupils themselves . It is not only necessary that a g irl or a boy should receive a good education , but it is likewise desirable that they should prove that snch education has been of service to them in after life . Indeed , that it has been tho means of their securing a position

which without such education they conld not havo attained . With a view to assist in this object tbo committees of very many of the English Charities make it a part of their duty to interest themselves in the future of tho pupils who have been educated under their care . This they do by obtaining for those whom thoy deem deserving situations in offices presided over or belonging to one of their number , who they are assured will act as parent or guardian to their charge ,

and by apprenticing or otherwise starting in life those who , being orphans or from other causes , may need moro aid than is forthcoming from relatives generally . The practicability and success of such a scheme can be vouched for in numerous instances where it has been in work for years past ; and were it necessary tho records of somo of onr largest Charities would give ample evidence of the satisfaction derived from keeping an account of each scholar ' s proceedings in after life . It has frequently been fonud that

a littlo advice , connsel or help has proved to bo the starting point of snecess . With regard to the Masonic Institutions , it has often been regretted that some further surveillance has not been exercised over those who have been so fortunate as to receive therein education and

early training ; and it is felt that without something bodono to watch tho future of those who leave the f-cliools , and , if need be , lend thom a helping hand , the work of Masonic Charity is incomplete . This want may perhaps best bo expressed in the words of the Right Hon . Bro . the Earl of Rosslyn , K . T ., Past Grand Master of Scotland , who , as President at tho Eihty-first Anniversary Festival of tho lloyal t — — — —J

—g . . ° ^ •* Masonic Institution for Boys , brought the question particularly before tho Craft . Tho Eight Worshipful Brother , iu proposing prosperity to the Institution , after detailing tho advantages and benefits which wero derived from the School , said : — '•

1 will tell yon a little fault , and I am sure I need only mention it : to find it immediately corrected ; nnd tho fault that I am going to find - is this—that it is not impossible that at the end of their schooling ca- reer some of these boys may leave the School homeless and in need .

It may be that the good seed sown may bear fruit during their scholastic career , but it may also bo that the fruit will perish for want ; of cultivation at a later period . It may bo that having derived all '

Circulars ancl Forms for Collecting , together with other information , may be had on application to the Secretaries , as above .

the advantage that they conld from their study , aud from their religious training in your Institution , they may lenvo it to fall into evil courses and evil ways , or even to suffer penury and poverty . I would appeal to you onco more , as that is the only blot I can find in yonr excellent Institution to try and amend it , that tho pupils may derive the full benefit of yonr bounty and your charity . It is now proposed to raise a fund which shall act as an adjunct to tho two Masonic Schools , and bo tho means of supplying the want set

forth above ; and for this purpose your support and aid aro earnestl y solicited It is proposed that an early date shnll bo fixed for a moetirm- of those who may express approval of the scheme , and thereat tbe various rules for tho government ancl conduct of affairs shall bo discussed , Committees appointed , and general arrangements made . It is hoped that tho fund when once established will grow from

year to year , and thafc fcho dividends of tho subscriptions—which will bo invested in approved securities—may in themselves prove sufficient for the various objects aimed at . Further particulars of the scheme will be announced as they are arranged ; but in the meantime we ask you fraternally to lend yonr aid to the furtherance of the desired object , by making it known to your friends , offering suggestions , or in any other way you may deem desirable .

Tho main objects of the fund will be— - To provide situations for the pupils on their leaving tho Masonic Schools . To watch their progress and offer aid and advice where

needful-To advance small amounts to aid in the purchase of tools , outfits , and , later in life , goodwills of businesses , & c . To assist pupils who may havo gained scholarships at the Universities , or boys who may desire to enter the Army or Navy , and aid them in obtaining commissions .

| And generally to watch over the future of the pupils , and hel p them in securing success in life .
