The Approaching School Elections.
cases are Nos . 88 , 42 , and 44 respectively . No . 44 , Emily Beatrice King , is one of five children , whoso parents are still living , bnt we presume are in a condition which renders them unable to provide for their offspring , or the candidate wonld not hare been passed by the committee .
Annie Gover , No . 38 , has only her mother to look to for a maintenance , bnt as tho widow has two other children needing her attention , we should like to be in a position to record the daughter had succeeded to the benefits of our School . The other candidate from this Province is Annie
Elizabeth Hill , but as her friends have already been successful in securing the admission of her sister to the School , we fear little further help will be accorded tho widow from this quarter . The western division of South
Wales has already 745 votes recorded for the benefit of their candidate , Mary Eliza Mott , No . 14 , which number may in itself be sufficient to ensure success , but will doubtloss bo aurmicnied in such a manner as to leave no
possibility of failure . Wo look upon the success of this candidate as all but secured , but even if that desired end be attained , the mother has still four children to maintain . East Yorkshire and Cheshire stand even better with their candidates , Florence May Jones , No , 23 , and Elizabeth Alice
Harbord . For the former 884 votes have been polled , and for tho latter 1086 . In each case tho mother is left with five children ; she must be looking forward to the day of election with great anxiety . Cambridgeshire brings its candidate forward for the second time , with but 22 votes
in her favour . Unless this Province has extraordinary powers of borrowing , or outside aid is secured , tho mother of Elizabeth Minnie Parker , with five children to provide for , is doomed to disappointment . Kent , which showed so strongly at the last election , may wifely bo left in charge of
Fanny Elizabeth Wain ( No . 32 ) , who is selected ns a candidate from the tivo orphans of a late member of tho Province , We have alread y disposed of one of tho- Monmouthshire cases , tho other is Rosamond II . A . Laybourue , No . 22 , who i ' 6 one of four ciiiidn n , left fatherless as long back as
187-i . She starts on this occasion with 346 votes to her credit , but must not rely too much ou the aid of the Province , which has the uhvuis of another candidate before it . West Yorkshire has already 685 votes to the credit of No . 5 , Blanch Adelaide Mittou , and 103 to No . 8 , Kalo
Hebblethwaite , whilst iln third candidate is tho one appearing for tho second time with no votes brought forward . This Province may bo enabled to secure two of the vacancies on this occasion , in such case the above order is likely to be that in which the support will be accorded .
Wiltshire has one candidate from last election , with 43 votes brought forward , and one other appearing now for the first time . The latter , No . 37 , Ellen Alary Good , is ono of five children , having both parents living , but the
father is insane . The other , No . 10 , Ada Mary Cook , has only a mother , who now has to provide for four children . Each of these cases , therefore , merit more support than the voting resources of the Province can give . Neither of tho parents of the Staffordshire candidate , No . 46 , Mabel
Harrison Tipper , are living , and , as there are still three children to provide for , wo should be pleased to hoar that something further had been done for them , but the fact of one sister being already on tho funds of the Institution will act as an obstruction
to substantial progress , fho East Lancashire candidate , Margaret Ethel Lang , No . 41 , has also a sister in the school . Essex should secure the election of Edith Mary Garnctt , having polled 836 votes for heron two previous occasions . Sussex closes the Provincial list , with one
candidate , Catherine Frances Hide , No . 27 , who , together with one other child , is at present supported by her widowed mother . The only foreign candidate on tho present occasion is Harriott Geraldine Keighlcy , who bails
from Calcutta . Her mother has seven children to support , and starts with 248 votes recorded in favour of this child . We trust that tho result of this election will prove that distance only odds to the number of a brother ' s true friends .
Of tho sixteen Loudon candidates , nine avo tirut applications , six second , and one has appeared at six previous contests ; this hitter case wo have already rofcired to , as also to No . 12 , Ethel Frances W . Allison , who has two
sisters in the School . Five more cases may bo disposed of in a few words , as ono or other of oar Schools are already providing for members of their respective families . These are Nos . 16 , 19 , 21 , 26 aud 40 . Florence E . M . Palmer , No . 1 R , goes to the poll with 1 , 018 votes already recorded ,

and , doubtless , her election will be secured . No . 25 , Emma Eliza Williams , is the only other girl who has votes to the good , her total number brought forward being 305 . Both her parents are living , but the father is insane , he fchns proves an additional burden on the mother , who has
two children , besides the candidate in question , needing support . Tho Lewis Lodgo , No . 1 , 185 , of which the father was a member , should be ablo to bring sufficient influence to bear to secure tho return of this candidate , and we trust the members will on this occasion show they
can support their protege as surely as we are taught their sponsor does the stone . Of first application cases , it ia very difficult to decide which is tho most deserving , ns no
less than three of the candidates comprise members of families of four deprived of both their parents , while another is one of six children dependent on : i widowed mother . Oh ! that we conld relieve such cases as these
without the vicissitudes of elections , ending too often in ultimate disappointment : but , unfortunately , such cannot be ; we , therefore , can only leave tin ; question to ho decided by the support obtained by the various friends who are working for the applicants . Tho three Candida lea who
have neither parents living aro Nos . 31 , 3 : 5 and 4 / . r > o . 31 , Ellen Amy Wadbam , hall * from tho far-famed Yarbnrotigh Lodge , No . 554 . After what has been said of the ability of its members to carry their cases , we are assured thoy will use every exertion to make this no exception to tho rule ;
we offer our good wishes to the candidate who relies on these efforts . No . 33 , Alice Mary Dawson , claims tho support of the Londesborough Lodge , her father having been one of its earliest initiates . No . 47 , Mary Ann A . Wyatt , the last on the list , has staunch friends to assist her .
Her father at his death was Junior Warden ol the Loyalty Lodge , No . 1607 , which , as is well known , is largel y composed of members of Sincerity , No . 174 . As this latter Lodge has no case on the present list , wo hope they will oxert their strength U > secure the election of thoir
