To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother ,

1 looked in vain in your la-t issue for some reference to the scheme of a " Provincial Grand chaplain , " by which it is proposed to secure for the sons of Freemasons a public school education at the least possible cost . There muse be many like myself who would be only too glad to avail themselves of such an opportunity . 1 think the idea a very good one and distinctly calculated to meet a want , and I hope it will not be allowed to drop . —Yours fraternally , PARENS .

DIBDIN MEMORIAL . To the Editor ot the " Freemason " Dear Sir and Brother , Some months ago the public were informed that the Vestry of St . Pancras intended to convert ihe old bt . Martin ' s Cemetery , containing Diboin's Grave , into a Recreation Ground , and it was suggested that s mr steps

should be taken tu prevent the ocatruc ion of the I umb " and even "restoieit from its dilapiuated anu ncgiecied condition . " It was not , as one itri e < said , " seeing or con = i .-tent with the honour ot ihe Brni-. h ISaiiun that ihe ton b uf Charles Diudm oh uld be allowed to disappear for ever from thesi ^ hi ot his lelluw countrymen . "

r-. ow in ine ni : t piacc 11 appears tt at tne vestry ot bt . Pancras nevtr intended to disturb ihe tomb , but , on the other hand , their SuiVcyor had , in prcpaiiug hi- pluiis for laying outtne ground as a gaiden , made a .-pedal leature ot the tomb . Of cour .-e the vestry had nu power to sp nd the rates on ihe tomb itstlf . ln the second placr , i , ia due to the diseenuants ot Charles Dibuin io say that the , have penocicaliy had the trove attended t . / , so that i . h-s n t been in a dilapidated or negecitd conniiiun . It is tme

that it is but a poor monumei . t to su griat a man , but i is the s mple stone placed over his remains b y his widow an J daughter , whobe means weie ver . > limited . 1 hey were poo , for 11 must be remembered that Dibdin WoS i . evei p . niciianly succts ful , and duiing his latei years he was depriv- d by tne mimstiy of "all the talents" of the pen ion of £ 200 a } ear given to " him by Mr . Put , and was 10 ccd to live on the pioceeds of a charitable subscription . Mr . Pitt

recognised Dibdin ' s genius , telling him that if he had asked for £ 400 he could have had it . The statesman witne : sed some ot ihe effects of those " immortal works which have not only raised Dibdin to a lofty place among the poeis of England , but have gained iorh . m the high and honourable , titie ot a benefactor ot his countiy . " A thousand voices have since borne testimony to the happy effects which his high and generous sentiments have produced in toi ming tne cnaracier 01

me ormsn sauor , ana now nis loyal and martial songs did much to make the history of our country during the fifty years which followed the Peace of Pans . Although the tomb is not dilapidated and is not to ba . swept away , the admirers of Dibdin desire to take advanlage of tne proposed conveision of the old cemetery at Camden Town into a public gaiden to erect some suitable memorial nis

over or near grave . One suggestion is a canopy and bust over the present tomb . Another is a memoiial fountain near the tomb . The Kentish Town Musical Society recently formed a Commitcee to take the matter up , and , in the absence of any more general organisation , this Committee has been joined by many admirers of Dibdin , and it has now been determined to appeal to the public for subscriptions . The form of the

memorial must , to some extent , depend upon the response to this appeal , but the least the Committee hope to be able to do is to create a permanent fund for the protection and preservation of the tomb . Mr . Sims Reeves has kindly consented to act as Chairman of the Memorial Committee , and Mr . T . Eccleston Gibb , of St . Pancras , as Treasurer .

Subscriptions and suggestions as to the form ot the Memorial will be thankfully received by the Comn . ittee . Cheques and Post Office Orders should be made payable ) to the Treasurer , and crossed National Bank , Camden Town Branch . —I am Sir , yours faithfully , JAMES PERCY -FITZGERALD , 178 , Kentish Town-read , NiW , Honj Sec .
