ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS . In our number for September , we recorded the celebration of an event in every way interesting , and one attended with many agreeable associations ; we mean the inauguration fite held on the 11 th of August , for the purpose of dedicating the building recently purchased to the uses of this institution . We have now the pleasure of laying before our readers a brief account of a ceremony of . which the fe \ te referred to was the forerunner , and which , though conducted in a manner the most quiet and unobtrusive , and witnessed but by few , affords the first
practical realization of the views so long advocated by the great majority of the friends and well-wishers of the institution , and which the liberality of the Brethren has at length enabled them to accomplish . On Thursday , 15 th of August , the House Committee met at the School-house , in Lordship-lane , Tottenham , for the purpose of giving a formal reception to those boys who had been selected for admission , and of inducting the master and matron into their new charge . The
children , to the number of twenty-five , arrived at the school shortly before three , accompanied by Bro . Thiselton , Secretary to the institution , and , after partaking of refreshment , were summoned to attend the committee , who , with the master and matron , had assembled to receive them . There were present Bros . JV Hervey ( chairman of the institution ) , Hopwood , G . Cox , C . Bobinson , G . Barrett , Greene , and F . Binckes , members of the committee ; and Bros . E . Boberts ( whose valuable professional services have been cheerfully rendered whenever required ) ,
W . Young , F . Adlard , and Newsom , with Bro . Thiselton , Secretary of the institution ; Rev . Charles Woodward , Master ; and Mrs . Woodward , Matron . At the request of the chairman , Bro . Hopwood addressed the boys , and in feeling and appropriate terms pointed out to them the comforts and advantages of their new home , urging them to turn to the best account the opportunity for improvement thus afforded—to be especially attentive to the instructions of the master and matron—to conduct themselves in such a manner as to become a credit to the
neighbourhood and an ornament to the institution the benefits of which they enjoyed , and to emulate the example set them by their parents , so that in whatever position of life they might hereafter be placed , they might , like them , be respected and esteemed . Let them bear in mind that good conduct would ever meet with reward , while bad conduct would surely not go unpunished .
Bro . Hervey , Vice-president and Chairman said , it now became his duty to give these boys—the objects of their care and solicitude—into the charge of the master whom the committee had appointed to that office , and he had great pleasure in seeing them placed under the care of one in whom they had every confidence . He trusted the reward which the committee , their friends and subscribers , expected to reap after the exertions they had used in providing the
building in which they were then assembled , would be found in the continued success and increased prosperity of the institution . Bro . the Bev . Charles Woodward , could not undertake the responsibility thus intrusted to him , without saying a few words , in the presence of the committee , to those over whom he was to exercise authority . He was anxious to avoid anything like misunderstanding , and therefore he spoke under correction in case
