own ? They have funds enough , and public spirit enough , to jn-ovide for themselves what the clergy , the medical men , the navy , ancl the army have jn-ovided for themselves . One great advantage of a public school is this—that subscriptions are raised for exhibitions , scholarships , medals , endowments , and pro *

fessorships . Large bequests are left for such purposes , ancl there are many men , having no claims upon them from relatives , whose munificence is perpetually commemorated , and whose contributions in time provide ample funds . We think it a great reflection on the Masonic body , that there is not a single scholarship at a university open to a Mason ' s son ; there

is no Mason ' s son who can bo sent free to a medical college , a normal college , an academy of art , or school of design ; there is no Mason ' s daughter who can be sent to a normal college , an academy of art ,

school of design , or academy of music . Sucli would be seasonable benevolence to the child of many a worthy Mason , in giving the means of respectable establishment in life . A Mason of lower standing should feel that he has entered an association which can advance him ' and his children , not merely by giving him employment iu his trade , but by improving his social condition on the only

solid ground of increase of moral worth and intellectual endowments . Nothing will tend so much to these results as the jirovision 0 f educational institutions ; and this is one part of the present movement for Miisonic progress , whicli , although it has received little attention as yet , is not among the subjects of least moment . As such it mil again receive oui- care .

EDUCATION . —It all wards and young gentlemen were well brought up in learning , and iu the knowledge of God , they would not when tbey como to age so much give themselves to other vanities . And if the nobility be well trained iu godly learning , the people would follow the same train . For , truly , such as tho nobleman be , such will the people be , And now , tho only cause why no Women be not advanced , is because they have not been brought up in learning . Therefore , for the love of God appoint teachers and schoolmasters , you that have charge of youth and give the teachers stipends worthy their pain ? , that they may bring them up in iu icin rhetoricin

grammar , log , , philosophy , in tiie civil , law , and in that which I cannot leave unspoken of , the word of God . Thanks be unto God , the nobility otherwise is very well brought up in learning and godliness , to the great joy and comfort of England ; so that there is now good hope in the youth , that wo shall another clay have ,-t flourishing commonweal , considering their godly education . Yea , and there bo id ready noblemen enough , though not so many as I would wish ' wise men enough , Well , I would all men would look to thoir duty , as God hath called them , and then wc should indeed have a flourishing Christian commonweal , —Bj > .
