Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.
Impressed , as the Committee are , with the great advantages which will be attained by having tbe boys under their immediate supervision , they nevertheless have great satisfaction in stating , that the conduct of the boys during the last year has been , with one or two exceptions , most satisfactory , and their progress in their various studies such as to reflect credit on their instructors , and to merit the approbation of the examiners , whose report is annexed , and to whom tbe Committee beg to offer their grateful thanks for the time and trouble devoted to
that service . In stating what they have done about the conduct of the boys , the Committee refer more especially to those in London , as they necessarily can judge but little of those receiving education in the country . The Committee think it very desirable to call attention to tbe fact , that , even when the proposed building is completed ( which they hope will be at an earl y period ) , the same system of education as at present , will be extended to those boys whose parents , from religious scruples , object to their entering the establishment . The funded property of the Institution has been increased this year by the
purchase of £ 400 , making a total of £ 11 , 200 on account of the general fund . The building fund invested now amounts to £ 1 , 100 , independently of £ 500 granted by Grand Lodge on the recommendation of the M . W . G . Master as a sustentation fund . The Committee cannot conclude their report without expressing their gratification , that at the moment the question of education is forcing itself on the consideration of every philanthropist , the Masons of England , by providing for the wants of the children of their less fortunate Brethren , are desirous to evince their auxiety to anticipate , if possible , the spirit ofthe age .
