Royal Masonic Institution For Boys.
and Bro . Richard Eve as Deputy Chairman , the Committee set about the by no means easy task of reorganisation . It should be mentioned that the recommendations of the Philbrick Committee were of the most sweeping character , and necessitated not only a comp lete change in tho system of management , but likewise a similar change in the personnel of the different staffs . Hence one of the first and
most responsible duties of the Provisional Committee was to recommend the election of a new Medical Ollicer , and new Head Master , and make such arrangements as might be considered just and proper for the retirement of Bro . Binckes from the oflice of Secretary . At the same time , care was taken that thc laws of thc Institution should be "thoroughly and carefully revised , and the accounts
audited by a professional accountant . Some time was occupied m devising and carrying into execution the measures necessary to effect these changes , but at length a new Medical Officer having been chosen , and Bro . the Rev . Harry Hebb appointed Head Master , it was arranged that Bro . Binckes should remain at his post until after the Festival of 1890 had been celebrated , and when that was over ,
that he should vacate the ollice he had filled for so many years , with a gift of £ 2500 in lieu of pension . Early in July , a successor to him was elected , by an overwhelming majority of votes over all other candidates , in the person of Bro . J . Morrison McLeod , who entered upon his duties in August , and has successfully discharged them ever since to the ever-increasing benefit of the Institution . But the labours of the Provisional Management
Committee were not yet ended , and they remained in charge of the administration , devising and recommending all the necessary measures for an improved system of government , nor was it fill fie General Court of Governors in April 1891 , that the present riyivie under a Board of Management of 30 members , of whom one half represented London and the other thc Provinces , was inaugurated .
With the events that have happened during the seven years that have since elapsed , the readers of this Journal must be sufficiently f-. miliar . It will be enough for me to record that every possible i liproveinent has been effected in the School itself at Wood Green , t nit the system of education has been strengthened and extended so as 11 include moie than one . branch of technical training ; that the tone
and character of the School has been appreciably raised , and that the number of boys now being educated either in or out of the I istitution is greater by some 40 or 50 than it was in 1890 . As a result the successes obtained at the Cambridge Local and other pu ' . lic examinations are more numerous . Thc Festivals since 1891 inclusive , have produced higher returns than at any previous period ,
with the result that the invested Capital of the Institution has been enlarged from X 17 , 500 in J 890 , to about £ 6 : 5 , 000 to the close of last year ; while a new site has been purchased at Bushey in Hertfordshire for £ 1 : 1 , 000 , and a design for the School buildings about to be erected thereon accepted . And now ( hat the Centenary Festival has proved so brilliant a success , no time will be lost in erecting the new
Schools , and a year or two will witness the removal of the Institution from its present cramped sife at Wood Green to the healthier and more extensive estate of which within the last twelve months it has become the proprietor . May the improved fortunes of thc Royal Masonic Institution for Boys be still further improved , and may the
benefits it has in the past conferred upon those sons of indigent or deceased Freemasons who have been elected to receive them be neoliiiuediii the future so long as there are sons of deceased or indigent Freemasons who may stand in need of its kindly and paternal assistance !
