THE GIRLS' SCHOOL .
We record in another part of our Magazine , the proceedings at one of 1 > be most interesting events which has taken place in connection with this institution—of which every Freemason is so justlyproud—since the day It was first established by the Chevalier Ruspini , whose name will never fade from the grateful remembrance of his brethren . Avhilst" the school and the Order continue to flourish . A
fete of some kind—a " day out' —has , through , the liberality of some brother or brethren , of late years become an annual event , to which the children have looked forward with delight , as forming an era in the routine of school life ; but it remained for the brethren of the Royal York Lodge , at Brighton , No . 394 ( that number will never be
forgotten by any of the seventy children who took part m the festivities of Thursday last ) to open up tor them a new enjoyment , by inviting them to leave the metropolis fifty miles behind them , and in the language ofthe railway advertisements , enjoy " eight hours by the seaside . " The suggestion first emanated from Bro . R . W .
Wood , G . Steward of the year ,. P . M . of No . 72 , of No . 394 , and we knoAV not what otter Lodges besides , when it was most cordially responded to by Bro . Woolver , the W . M . of the Lodge , Bro . Cordy Burrows , the mayor of the town , and other Brethren , who appeared to vie with each other in their determination to add to the enjoyment of
their juvenile guests , and at the same time pay befitting honour to those brethren and their ladies who accompanied the children from town—and more especially must the hospitality of the mayor and his lady be acknowledged . We shall not here recount the proceedings of the day , believing that we have sufficiently described them elsewhere ; but we may observe , that they reflected the greatest honour upon the Brethren concerned in carrying them out , though we could have wished that the children had been allowed a little more liberty of action : that in fact they had been turned loose upon
the sands to run about and do as they pleased , and that , too , without any injunction to avoid dirtying their hands , disarranging their hair , or soiling their tippets ; for sure we are such a course would have been conducive of far more real enjoyment than the riding about the town—pleasing , as no doubt it was , from its novelty .
