THE APPROACHING SCHOOL ELECTIONS .
CONTINUING our remarks of last week concerning the candidates for election to the two Schools in October , we will now address ourselves to a consideration of the Boys' List , which contains , as already stated , the names of
seventy-three lads , who , with the exception of one—No . 34 , Gr . A . Thomas , whoso petition has been withdrawn—will compete for the sixteen declared vacancies . It will thus be seen that there are fifty-six lads who will go to the poll in excess of the number to be elected . Forty-eight of the
cases are accredited to the Provinces , eighteen to London , one to Guernsey , and the remaining five to Foreign districts . Twenty of the candidates now make their first application , twenty-one their second , seventeen their third , nine
their fourth , four their fifth , and one his sixth . Twelve of the Boys if unsuccessful on the present occasion will be debarred , by reason of their age , from taking part in future elections .
Of the last application cases , No . 27 , A . A . Gee , brings forward 1 , 222 votes from two previous attempts ; his father was a member of Sincerity Lodge , No . 174 , London ; his mother , who is the only parent now living , has five children dependent on her . No . 3 , R . A . Grave , from Surrey , who
has a brother in the School , now comes forward for the fifth time , with a total of 975 votes to his credit ; he has neither parent living , and is now the only child of this family unprovided for . No . 17 , R . N . Hobbs , is one of seven children left to the care of their mother : his father
was a member of the Ranelagh Lodge , No . 834 , London . This lad has stood two previous ballots , and now brings forward 659 votes . No . 2 , G . F . Gauntlett , from the Province of Hants ancl Isle of Wi ght , has taken part in the last four elections , on which occasions 392 votes have been
recorded on his behalf ; he is one of four children dependent on a widowed mother . No . 5 , E . C . 0 . Wilton , who has two sisters in the Girls' School , is son of a member of Lodge No . 508 , Singapore ; his mother still has two of her family to provide for ; he brings forward 289 votes from
four previous attempts . No . 6 , G . W . Steinhauer , also a Hampshire case , is one of eight children left with neither father nor mother . At present but 156 votes have been recorded in his favour , so that unless some very strenuous efforts are now made on his behalf , we fear he will nofc
secure election on this , his fourth and last trial . No . 31 , J . B . Frost , is a case which reflects but little credit on Freemasonry , or indeed on humanity at large ; the father , who was a member of Lodge 91 , London , has , we learn from the published particulars , deserted his wife since 1871
leaving her and her family dependent on the charity of others . At present there are four children for whom the mother has to provide . The lad seeking election to the Boys' School brings forward 59 votes from two previous elections . No . 46 , W . T . Jobson , a Suffolk candidate , is
one of two children left motherless ; he was a candidate in April last , when nine votes were recorded in his favour . No . 7 , E . E . Hawke , has but one vote to his credit on this , his fourth application . He is a Devonshire candidate , and is , we presume , under the fostering care of the Charity
Committee of that Province : His mother , the only parent living , has five children to provide for . Nos . 60 , 64 , and 67 are the other last applications , ancl each now appears on the List for the first time . No . 60 , W . H . Palmer , hails from East Lancashire ; he has neither parent living . No . 64 , E . W . Belsham , is one of two children left to the care
