CHESHIRE EDUCATIONAL MASONIC INSTITUTUTION .

FOR about 17 years this admirably conducted institution for tho education and advancement in life of the children of distressed and deceasod Freemasons has been steadily increasing in usefulness , thanks to tho cordial snpport it has invariably received from tho brethren in tho province of Cheshire , over which the Right Hon . Lord do Tabley R . W . P . G . M . rules with so much acceptance Tho noblo charity enjoys his lordship ' s presidency , and amongst its mosfc

active supporters aro thoso whose names are also illustrious in the annals of Freemasonry . A meeting of the oommitteo of the charity was held at the Masonic Chambers , Birkenhead , on Friday 19 th inst ., when thore was a mosfc influential gathering . It should bo stated that the rules of the institution run very much on tho linos of thoso of tho West Lancashire Charity , tho mosfc admirable provision being

that those who have charge of tbe children aro allowed to select any school whioh meots with approval , and that tho educational fees aro paid through the Institution , withont coming to tho knowledgo of tho children themselves or any ono connected with the particular school . Tho chair on this ocoasion was occupied by Bro . W . A . Clayton W . M . 537 , and amongst thoso presont were Bros . F . K . Stevenson P . P . G . S . B .

Hon . Sec , J . P . Platfc P . P . G . J . W . Hon . Treas ., E . H . Griffiths P . G . Sec , J . Salmon P . M . 425 , & o .

Tho total investments riow amounted to £ 3 , 730 , being an increase of about £ 210 on the year . Tho report ,

which was of a highly satisfactory character , was also read by Bro . Stevenson . Both tho report and statomenfc of accounts wero unanimously adopted , and ifc was afterwards agreed to rocommond six children for tho benefits of tho institution to tho annual court of governors . We hope in a future issue to refer at greater length to the work of this estimable institution .
