ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS ,
To the Editor of the FKEEMASON ' CHRONICLE . DEAK SIK AND BROTHER , —The suggestion made by your correspondent , A LITE GOVERNOR , in the issue of your paper of the 15 th inst ., is worthy just now of careful consideration at the hands of the Craft . He proposes that a limited number of paying pnpils should
be admitted to the Institution , and names fifty guineas per annum as a sum likely to be paid by many brethren to secure for their sons the benefits of the education provided at Wood Green . If he is correct in his surmise I think a splendid opportunity presents itself to extend the usefulness of the Institution , and at the same time add fco fche
funds of the Charity . The idea is , of course , a very old one in connection with public schools , many of which , in addition to their paying pupils , have a limited number " on the foundation . " If anything of the sort were attempted in connection with our Boys ' Sohool there wonld be one great difference , as compared with the
majority of others , that whereas it is usual to have but a small proportion " on the foundation , " the Masonic School would show an opposite distribution , the majority would be foundation , and the minority paying pupils . I believe there is ample room afc the School for more boys than are
at present accommodated there , the lack of funds preventing the Institution being worked to its full capacity , so that on this score there would be no difficulty ; but if this were nofc the case , your correspondent provides for the new comers in a way which I venture to think would be equitable and satisfactory to all concerned , that is ,
he suggests thafc some of fche lads should be educated in the locality in whioh their friends live . I am aware that any proposal for a change is looked upon with alarm by a large section of mankind , and perhaps it is as well to keep quietly along on a course we know rather than to launch out and run
the risk of ultimate failure . But if this principle was always acted upon we should never have any of the changes or improvements whioh lead to the enjoyment of life . I was very pleased to see the esteemed Secretary of the Iustiuifcio _ ( Bro . Frederick Binckes ) express himself kindly towards this scheme .
He thinks it deserving of " serious attention , " and such beintr the case I am convinced it is both practicable aud likely to meet with his approval . I would suggest that a letter be circulated , inviting applications for a few vacancies , at such a price as would well repay all expenses , and on the result of that canvass it would bo possible to formulate a plan of operations for the future . Yours fraternally , S . F . P .
To the Editor of the FREEMASON ' CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —As the constitntion of the Committee of Inquiry has been publicly announced , and the date of the first meeting is rapidly approaching , ifc is desirable thafc tho collation of evidence to be submitted shall be promptly proceeded with .
In this immediate neighbourhood a local committee , consisting of one member from ten Lodges , is taking the matter in hand , and a general meeting of the Staffordshire" Charitable Association will be held on Wednesday , the 26 th iust ., to consider the subject . If similar steps have been , or are about to be taken in oiher Provinces ,
we shall be glad to hear from fche brethren who have charge thereof , so thafc united action may result ; , or if individual brethren or old scholars have any information which may be laid before the Committee of Inquiry , with advantage , it is to be hoped that they will communicate with us , or with brethren interested in the matter in
their own Province , so that the entire facts may be fully laid before the Committee of Inquiry , from every point of view . Beyond a doubt there has for years past been much complaining in at least some of the Provinces as to the management of the Institution , and as a channel has now been opened for submitting these
complaints to a competent and impartial tribunal , nothing should be wanting in order to enable that Committee to present a decisive and imperative report , which shall , at onco aud for all , sweep away whafc may be defective ( if anything ) , and result in placing the Institution
on such a basis that the Craft generally may feel impelled in future to provide liberally aud generously that support which the object ifc has in view so richly deserves . In the interest of fche Institution we crave space for the insertion of this letter in vour next issue .
