Committees of the Girls and Boys' Schools , and Brother Moore , on the part of the Masonic Institution for Boys , requested to know His Royal Highness ' s opinion on the subject . The W . M . Grand Master in his reply , stated that tor reasons which he had already assigned he had not given his sanction to the proposed Asylum , besides which each establishment is managed by a separate Committee , and consequently the mixing up together the concerns of the different charities would create confusion , give rise to jealousies , and instead of doing good would be productive of much evil .
