Monthly Masonic Summary .
AT our last quarterly communication , which was very fully attended , H . E . H . the Prince of Wales was unanimously ancl enthusiastically elected Grand Master of English Freemasonry for the next twelve months .
The grant of £ 4 , 000 for the two Life Boats was confirmed " nemine clissentiente , " and much ordinary business was got through . Our worthy and respected Grand
Treasurer was also unanimously reelected , amid the hearty cheers of the Grand Lodge . There is not else much to report . There is a ¦ proposal afloat to increase
the Boys' School ,. so as to admit 120 additional hoys , at a probable cost of £ 22 , 000 ; but as yet no detailed plans are before us .
We have no doubt , ourselves , that an addition is needed to the school , the only question is how best to do it . A very important answer has been made to a querist by the Board oi
Inland Revenue , namely , that all receipts above £ 2 require a stamp , and Masonic Lodges are not exempt .
Let Freemasons look to it , and let our Masters ancl Treasurers see that our Lodges no longer disobey the laws of the land ! A new Masonic periodical -has
appeared in Scotland—The Scottish Freemason—started by our energetic publisher . It has made a most creditable first appearance , and we wish it all success .
Abroad , the contest m France is waged vigorously with respect to the noil recognition of T . G . A . O . T . U ., but we . are inclined to hope that a reaction has set in .
Bro . Hubert , Editor of the CJiaine d'Union , takes the view we have essayed to commend to our Masonic Brethren . That the change is not a legitimate
reform , but a senseless revolution , ancl has nothing in its favour except a concession to those " libres penseurs , " who seem to wish to bring everything clown to the lower level of their doubts
and difficulties , their scepticism and their materialistic unbelief , is only too clear .
We trust that French Freemasonry may emerge from the struggle successfully and resolve firmly , " stare super vias antiquas . " 2 K
