IT is au event in the history of this old and steady-going Lodge , which has done HO much in years gone by , and is still doing in the cause of Masonic Charity , thafc , from a variety of circumstances , tho brethren recently decided to change their venue from Leytonstone to London . Undoubtedly the decision was a wise and
judicious one , considering all the circumstances of the caso . In tbe firsfc place , by the lamented death of Bro . T . Barfo > d , a P . M . of No . 55 , and one of the founders of this Lodge , who for some years was proprietor of the Red Lion Hotel at Leytonstone , the Lodge lost a good and trusty friend , and other matters arose which in the
opinion of the brethren justified them in selecting a metropolitan fcrysting-place . Then the unlocked for demise of the Worshipful Master of last year ( Bro . Turner ) , who during his term of office and useful services to the Lodge was removed , at the comparatively early age of 56 years , proved an additional incentive to the brethren
to seek out a fresh line j and much as we may question the advisability of suburban Lodges concentrating their chief reunions in the City , yet , under all the auspices nampd , we do uot think the Beacontree Lodgo could have shown more discretion than in the step they have just taken . The installation meeting took place on Wed .

REVIEWS .
All Books intended for Review should be addressed to the Editor of The Freemason ' s Chronicle , Belvidere Works Hermes Hill , Pentonville , London , * W . A Schoolmaster' ' s Retrospect of Eighteen and a Half Years in an Irish
School . By Maurice C . Hime , M . A ., LL . D ., Barrister-at-Law , Head Master of Poyle College , Londonderry . London : Sirapkin , Marshall and Co ., Stationers' Hall Court . Dublin : Sullivan Brothers , 27 Marlborough Street .
WE have had frequent occasion to refer to the emanations from tbe prolific pen of Bro . Hime , who has evidently made the welfare of onr rising youth a life-long study . It must be obvious that an association of nearly twenty years with a grammar-school and college as head-master , has thrown the author into intimate contact with boys
ancl young men of various classes and ages ; and it is from a close personal—we were going to say parental—observation of the characters of those who have passed through his hands thafc he has gathered reminiscences and thoughts which are now transmitted to tbe public We can imagine no better source from which to gather hints and
suggestions , such as parents would do well to ponder whilst consider , ing fche training and education of their sons , or to which young men who have passed their curriculum afc school may look for sound advice and kindly admonition . The mentorship exercised by Brother Hime is obviously of no mere superficial character ; the inner life
and the formation of character are his especial solicitude ; and thus he has devoted a large portion of his useful career to diverting the thoughts and actions of those of whom he has the educational charge , into the paths of morality and social rectitude . As the title of the little work before us implies , the author gives us some "
recollections" of his scholastic expBrience , which are fc- > Vd in easy conversational style , replete with interesting incidents . He commences wifch a grateful , though no doubt well-earned , acknowledgment of the amiability of many parents and guardians , whose sons he has had under his charge "for years and years together , " and speaks in
terms betokening modesty ( yet consciousness of duty done ) of letters received , "full of affectionate kindness , and cordiality and friendship . " It was hardly necessary for our worthy brother to point out how difficult a matter it is to satisfy all parents and guardians , for who does nofc know all about it that has had any experience of
teachers and pupils ? We cordially concur in his sensible remarks npon fche inefficacy of corporal punishment in making boys good and industrious , and also on the mischief caused by too frequent changing
of schools . Very seasonable also are his ideas of tbe importance of ancient classics as a fotiGclntion in education and the teaching of natural and experimental so encn in schools ; bub at the same timo he thoroughly believes in the old m-ixira :
" All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy , " for in a chapter he points out that Satan proverbially finds mischief for idle bands to do , and that plenty of vigorous exercise in the fresh air is of the greafcesfc possible benefit ; to a boy's miud and body , " provided always that tbe exercise be nob monotonous , excessive , or
dangerous . He then descants upon the boon conferred on Ireland by the Intermediate Examinations , and going into more technical mutter speaks of the growth of teaching power , and fche more fre . quent admission of layin ^ n to the head-masterships of onr Schools , avhich he regards as a change for the better . Finally ho gives
expression to an opinion that will find a response in the breast of "very sensible parent , namely , that too great attention cannot be paid to the religions education as distinct frem Biblical instruction . Phis is debatable ground , but in our view the subject is well and
judiciously handled by the author , whose addition to the s » rie 5 of works of a kindred nature already noticed in these columns we cordially commend to tho pemsal of parents and guardian * and all others who are infc-jre ^ te . ! in the educational , moral , r . nd religious training of the rising generation .
