PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE .
LAVING OF THE FOUNDATION-STONE OF BRUNT'S TECHNICAL SCHOOLS . The annual meeting of this Provincial Grand Lodge was held at Mansfield , on Wednesday , the 12 th inst ., when , in response to an invitation from the Trustees of Brunt ' s Charities , his Grace , the Duke of St . Albans , the Prov . G . M ., ' performed the ceremony of laying the foundation-stone of the new Technical Schools for Mansfield .
The founder of the Charity was one , Samuel Brunt , who died in 1710 , and by his will created a trust for educating poor children , natives of Mansfield . Brunt's Trust was some years after considerably augmented by Charles Thompson , and , therefore , a school , known as Thompson ' s School , was built , and carried on under the management of Brunt ' s Trustees .
The lrustees being desirous to supply a more varied and higher education , and of a more technical character than that to be obtained at Thompson ' s School , or the elementaty schools , and , at the same time , give it free to the children of the town , applied to the Charity Commissioners for power to appropriate money from Brunt ' s Charity to provide and maintain a school and generally to re-arrange the Trust , a new scheme was eventually
formulated , which closed Ihompsons School and established Brunt ' s Technical Schools . Here , in spite of the fact that free education can be obtained in all elementary schools , accommodation for 100 boys and 100 girls will be provided , who will be able to benefit by a sound and broad system of education , while the Governors have power to charge tuition fees ( not less than 6 d ., nor more than is . per week ) ; they are bound to provide not less than 100 , nor more than 150 absolutely free places .

Ihe regular business having been transacted , the P . G . M . adjourned the lodge , a procession was formed in the usual Masonic order , and preceded by the Mayor and Corporation of Mansfield , the Chairman and governing body of the school , and the band of the Mansfield Volunteers , proceeded to the site of the building .
The Mayor of Mansfield , Bro . D . S . Patterson , was presented to the I ' rov . G . M . by Bro . G . H . Hibbert , P . P . G . R ., as also were the Chairman , Mr . R . M . Watson , and Governors of the school .
The CHAIRMAN having fully explained the origin and object of the school , requested the Prov . Grand Master to lay the foundation-stone , and presented him with a silver trowel for that purpose . The PROV . GRAND MASTER delivered the following address : Mr . Watson , men , and brethren , —I am certain that those who have come here
Jo support me on this occasion will share with me the interest with which we wvc listened to the very able report which you have just read , and will rewho the wish that you have expressed that this school may add a bright '" lure to Mansfield . I have always found it very difficult to realise what technical education is , or rather what technical education is not . It enters
'Ho the creation of a pat of butter that rests on our breakfast table , and also " » to the manipulation of those forces , those wonderful forces of electricity , *' "ch arc now opening out before mankind . I asked the distinguished lairman of technical education to give me his explanation , when he told ' with that aptitude which 3 'our distinguished neighbour , the Duke of pvonshire , always brings to bear , that it meant the union of the "Jd and the hand , the marriage of mental craft with handicraft ,
' u , as he put it , practical science . Over 2000 years ago the chorus Anti gone of fK-jchylus sang of the wonders and power of man 01 the beasts and the fishes of the sea which had reduced the fishes he sea ( 0 j , ; llc ( Sj tMC birds of the air and the beasts to his will . In c days , if the powers of man had to be enumerated , what a much c wonderful thing would have to be sung . How we have annihilated 111-i C an ^ ' ; ill d ' " ow wc n : ivc crossed the waters , how medical skill and great ' "iicturiiig forces have been brought to assist the good of mankind , while 1 "ic air itself seems as if it mu t bend to the will of mankind . England
Provincial Grand Lodge Of Nottinghamshire.
up to this time has held almost the foremost place in the productions of the world , but other nations press us hard , and , as in running a race , if a man stops he is soon distanced , therefore , I say if we are to hold our own not only in the world , but in our own country , wc must teach the rising generation how that best is to be attained . You cannot but be struck if you go into one of those palace hotels which adorn London , to find the cooks French ,
the waiters Germans , the manager and porter Swiss , and only the guests and housemaids English . We must fit our youth if they are to hold their place ; if they are to stand at the head of matters to fill the places in our country , which are offered in our numerous industries , in our offices , and other positions . Under these circumstances it has given the Craft and myself great
pleasure to be present here to-day , and to accept the honour which you have done me in requesting me to lay this first stone . It is impossible for me to place before non-Masonic bodies our secrets , but let me tell them that the outward and visible sign of Masonry is the encouragement of Charity and the advancement of education .
The PROVINCIAL GRAND MASTER then declared his will that the stone be laid in Masonic form , and addressed the assembly as follows : Men and brethren , here assembled to behold this ceremony , be it known unto you that we be the lawful Masons—true and faithful to the laws of our country —and engaged by solemn obligations to erect handsome buildings to be serviceable to the brethren , and to fear God , the Great Architect of the
Universe . We have among us , concealed from the eyes of all men , secrets which may not be revealed , and which no man has discovered , but these secrets are lawful and honourable , and not repugnant to the laws of God or man . They were entrusted in peace and honour to Masons of ancient times , and having been faithfully transmitted to us , it is our duty to convey them unimpaired to the latest posterity . Unless our Craft were good and our calling honourable , we should not have lasted for so many centuries , nor
should we have had so many illustrious brothers in our Order ready to promote our laws and further our interests . We are assembled here to-day in the presence of you all to erect a school for technical education , which , wc pray God may prosper as it seems good to Him ; and as the first duty of Masons in any undertaking is to invoke the blessing of the Great Architect of the Universe on their work , I call upon you to unite with our Grand Chaplain in an address to the Throne of Grace .
The Prov . Grand Chaplain , Bro . Rev . H . W . WYNNE FEOULKES , then offered prayer . The stone was raised , and Bro . ARTHUR STUBBS , Prov . Grand Secretary , read aloud the following inscription on the plate : " This foundation-stone was laid by Rt . Wor . Bro . Duke of St . Albans , Provincial Grand Master of Nottinghamshire , on July 12 th , A . L . 5893 . "
Bro . W . F . Bromley , P . G . T ., having deposited in the stone a bpttle containing certain records of the school , copies of the daily papers , and a programme of the day ' s proceedings , the Prov . Grand Secretary placed the plate , face downwards , over the top . Cement was spread over the stone , and the Prov . Grand Master levelled it with the silver trowel .
The stone was then lowered by the usual three stages , accompanied by Masonic songs . Under the conductorship of Bro . Essex , P . G . O ., at stage one , the brethren sang " Prosper the Art ; " at stage two , " Worthy Free * masons all ; " and at stage three , "Join all in Harmony . " The PROVINCIAL GRAND MASTER then proved the just position and form of the stone by plumb rule , level , and square , which implements were
severally handed to him , and declared it to be upright , level , and square . He then sprinkled corn and said : I now scatter corn upon this stone , the emblem of plenty and abundance ; may the blessings of virtue and loving kindness prosper in this building and bring forth fruit a hundredfold . He then poured the wine saying : I pour wine upon this stone , the emblem of
joy and gladness ; may the sorrows and sufferings of many in this infirmary be turned to joy ; and , lastly , the oil , with the words : I sprinkle oil upon this stone , the symbol of healing and of harmony ; may those who dispense as well as those who receive the benefits provided by this institution , find that prosperity , happiness , and goodwill prosper with them to the glory and honour of the Most High until time shall be no more .
'I he Prov . G . S . of Wks , Bro . G . S . Fish , then presented the plans of the building to the Prov . Grand Master , and having been examined by him the Architect of the School , Bro . Robt . Evans , P . P . G . S . of Wks ,, was presented by the Deputy Provincial Grand Master , and his Grace handed the plans to him together with the working tools which had been used , and desired him to proceed with the completion of the work in conformity with the plans and without loss of time .
The Provincial Grand Chaplain , Bro . the Rev . H . T . HAYMAN , then pronounced the blessing . A vote of thanks to the Prov . Grand Master was proposed by Bro . J . PAGET , seconded by Bro . J . H . WHITE , P . P . G . D . C , and carried with acclamation .
Ihe proceedings terminated with the singing of the National Anthem by the whole assembly , accompanied by the band . The procession was reformed and headed by the Prov . Grand Master , and returned to the Town Hall , where Provincial Grand Lodge was closed .
