Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.
to the subjects usually taken in schools of this class , every boy is taught to sing at sight , to produce his voice in a proper way , and as he reaches the top of thc School , to know something of thc theory of music . Every boy is taught the elements of shorthand . The Medical Oflicer has commenced a yearly course of lectures on ambulance work . There arc special classes for instruction in photography , for tbe study of facts connected with railways , for teaching some fuller
knowledge of the Colonies . There is a club for the study of field botany . These and other similar things are giving our boys some breadth of cultivation , and have already told most favourably in the development of mind and character . If you view our work in this light , you will agree with me in saying that our results in public examinations are satisfactory . Similarly , much organised work has been done during the year by means of lectures ( usually illustrated by thc lantern ) given at regular intervals on winter evenings by Assistant Masters and
friends . The subjects have taken a wide range f . e . " Charles Dickens , " ' * Wild Flowers , " " North Sea Fishes , " "Travels in Canada , " " Thc New River , " " Dutch Republic , " " Greek and Roman Athletics . " Moreover , wc have enjoyed several entertainments at the School , such as the annual concert given by the Derby Allcroft Lodge , and by the generosity of the members of thc Board and other brethren , selected boys have been able to sec plays of Shakespeare and other excellent plays at the London theatres . All this serves ( in my judgment ) a very valuable educational purpose .
On behalf of the School I offer hearty thanks lo all the kind friends who have by lectures and entertainments contributed to make our life happy and homelike ; to those who have given us prizes for sports or for school work ; to those also who have sent us subscriptions or books for our Library and Reading Rooms . As Head Master , I prize these invitations and gifts most of all for thc sympathy and appreciation which they are intended to mark . " " Another department in the life of thc School deserves attention . I am
exhibiting some of the work done this term in the carpentry , printing and bookbinding shops , and I append a list of the articles and of the names of the boys who have made them . Some of the work is of a high merit . But 1 would carefully remind you that the whole of this work ( as well as the printing of the School Magazine—one of the best " got up " of School Magazines ) is done as a voluntary occupation—in out-of-School hours . The value to a boarding school of this department of work , which is now taken up by over 50 boys , can hardly be overestimated .
But we have not neglected thc physical side of education . We have done fairly well in our matches al football and cricket with other schools , and practically every boy spends some part of every day at cricket , football , hockey , fives , gymnastics . I ought to say that thanks to Mr . Roberts , who takes an especial interest in the games of the School , and to G . Jones ( late of the Surrey Eleven ) who has been our Cricket Professional for thc last two years , we have an exceptional amount of cricketing promise amongst the younger boys . This will happily find in the playing fields at Bushey ample scope for development .
On the whole , I think that the year has been onc of progress in work and conduct . The future , too , is more hopeful . We have had , of course , many disappointments , many failures , and some things to regret . These are inevitable in a large School like ours . We have lately been under tbe shadow of a great grief . That has , 1 hope and believe , not been without its deep and lasting lessons for us all . But on the whole the School is distinctly better than it was a year
ago . Very much of this is due to my staff of Masters , whom I take this public opportunity of thanking most heartily . Our relations have been of the mosl cordial kind , and I appreciate more than I can say , not only their admirable work , but their sympathy and kindness towards mc in times of difficulty and trouble . 1 thank also the Matron , whose diligence in her never-ending duties , and whose care for thc comfort of the boys arc worthy of great praise , and of my high appreciation . Nor must I fail to express my gratitude to thc Medical Officer ,
whose skill and assiduity have kept lhe School cjuitc Irec from any outbreak of serious illness . And if I may , gentlemen , I should like to thank you all , and Bro . McLeod as well , for many acts of kindness and many expressions of confidence towards me . Vou have so often encouraged me in the moments of despondency , so often looked lightly on my shortcomings , that I should be ungrateful , indeed , if I did not believe and say that no I lead Master could serve under a more helpful or considerate Governing Body .
1 have thc honour to be , gentlemen . Your obedient servant , H . AKRV Hiiiii ; . Bro . Rn IIAIUI EVE , P . G . T ., then lose and said hc felt it his duty , ab Chairman of the Board of Management , to make a few observations . It had been the usual custom at the distribution of prizes before the annual
Eestival of the Institution for the Board of Alanagement to invite the Stewards of thc Eestival , their friends and supporters of the Institution , lo the distribution of prizes previous to the Festival . They were delighted to find such a splendid assembly there that day . It was a matter of great congratulation to the Board of Management , and ( hey fell a high appreciation of the honour done to their Institution by her Royal Highness the
-Princess of Wales being amongst them to present thc prizes to their boys . ( Applause . ) On Friday next , 11 . K . H . the Prince of Wales , their Most Worshi pful ( irand Master—( renewed applause)—would pie . side at the Centenary Festival of their Institution . It was not the first time that hi-. Royal Highness had favoured the Institution , he having taken the chair al its Festival so long since as IS / . They felt doubly honoured by
the presence of himself and the Princess of Wales now , He could assure him that 011 the occasion when lie would preside 011 Friday next , the memorable words made use of by his Royal Highness when he acted as President of the Festival before would be fully realised . He remembered them well ; his Koyal Highness said that " the watchword :, of Freemasonry are Loyalty and Charity . " On I'Viday next he could assure
him that the loyalty which Freemasons owed to their M . W . G . M . would be shown in Mich a way as to prove that the very heart of Masonry was wilh him and his great work ; on that occasion the opening of the hearts of Freemasons would occur as it had never occurred before at any of the festivals . He had no hesitation in saying that his Royal Highness would be delighted with the result of that gathering ; it had been unparalleled in all the
Mai-onic Institutions , and had never been surpassed by any other institution in the world ol a similar character . He was not going to detain tlie company with a long speech about the Institution , but lie would say tint ni" years ago it commenced in a small way without a home of any description with a number of boys they could LOUIII on their Tnst four lingers , not more ; but il had gradually developed until they had a home of their o . vn in the School at Wood Green . They were met now to extend il
suU ' icietul y to meet the needs ol those who were entitled to its benefits . He remembered the laying of the first stone in iSrij by Past Graud Warden , lhe late Bro . Algernon Perkins , who was accompanied b y that benevolent lady now the Baroness BurdeU-Coutls . 'I'he Institution has done a great work , iinlil to-day it was unequal to the requirements of their great Craft . The Craft had developed in importance and influence under the genial and benign rule of their present Grand Master ; il had

become larger in numbers and mlluence ; and they felt that the Schools they had to-day were insufficient to accommodate even those who were now within their walls . There were in addition others who were entitled to the Institution ' s benelits , but they could not put them in . Year after year the Board of Management had been making strenuous efforts to afford accommodation for the children of their brethren , who , from illness , or bad circumstances , or by death , had been unable to provide for them . The brethren
knew the steps taken to procure a site to build new Schools upon which would be an honour to the Craft and to all those dependent upon the Institution . It was not for him to dwell on that . On these annual occasions it was the custom lo receive visitors at the Schools at Wood Green , but the Schools and grounds were not capable of accommodating the great number who were now present ; but the boys were very glad to see them here . ( Applause . ) They had looked wilh joyful anticipation and delight to receiving
their rewards of merit at the hands of her Royal Hi ghness . He could not express the delight both of those who had prizes and those who had not , and he might say that they were unlike those who had gone before if they did not feel that the honour done to others was done to all , and they did not envy them , and they would do their best to win prizes themselves . The School and grounds would be open to visitors Wednesday , Thursday , and Friday , when the boys would be happy to
show them what they could do in gymnastics , carpentering , printing , and other matters which would be useful hereafter ; the Institution was not educating the boys of rich brethren , but the boys of those who once in affluence had fallen , perhaps by illness or disease , far oftener b y death . The brethren felt it a great honour to look after the boys and they wanted to spread the education which was given in the Institution to fit them for the business of life , at the same time to make them sturdy boys , able to
encounter the struggle of life . During the last year or two the Board of Management had endeavoured to enlarge the sphere of usefulness of the Institution by keeping those boys who showed an aptilude for hi gher work for a year or two beyond thc time for leaving the Institution in order that they might go through such a curriculum as to enable them to enter the professions . They were through the Head Master , Bro . Hebb , dealing with
the average boy ; they wanted them all to be healthy boys at the same time that they had a good education ; they therefore looked after the gymnasium . He thought the brethren would say that the Board of Management had with thc materials they had al hand done the best they could to carry out the objects of the Institution . He now invited the Head Master to come forward and assist her Royal Highness to present the prizes . The Princess of Wales thereupon presented to the boys the following prizes handed to her by Bro . Hebb :
