Freemasonry In 1900.
46 3 Stewards , supplied the balance of £ 12 , 57 8 iSs . The highest list included in the London total was that of Bro . FI . J . Homer , W . M . of the City of Westminster Lodge , No . 1563 , who , with the assistance of upwards of 50 members , ladies , and outside brethren , compiled a Return of £ 791 2 s ., while Bro .
Daniel Mayer , S . G . D ., W . M . of the Royal Warrant Holders Lodge , figured for £ 525 , Bro . A . C . Spaull , of thc FIousc Committee , for £ 210 , ancl Bro . T . Fish Marson , of Friends-in-Council Lodge , No . 13 S 3 , for £ 201 12 s . Towards the Provincial total the chief contributor was the Chairman's Province
of Staffordshire , vvhich surpassed all its efforts , even those it made in behalf of the Boys' Centenary , by subscribing the splendid sum of £ 4034 ios . Among the Returns from other Provinces we find Kent entered for £ 569 4 s . ; Middlesex for £ 1002 115 s . 6 d .: Monmouthshire for £ 500 ; Surrey for £ 666 2 s . :
Worcestershire for £ 87 6 Ss . ; and West Yorkshire for £ 575 . Thc distribution of prizes look place , as usual , on the Monday preceding the event we have just been recording , that is , on the 14 th May , when the Countess of Dartmouth , who was accompanied by her husband , handed the awards to the prize winners
of the year , and , in doing so , offered a few words of graceful congratulation to each , while Lord Dartmouth , in acknowledging tbe vote of thanks to her ladyship , spoke in terms of welldeserved praise of the admirable manner in which thc Institution was conducted , ancl the benefits it was conferring on lhe
daughters of deceased and indigent Masons . Among the other events of the year the elections in April ancl November stand out most prominently . At thc April election 17 girls were elected from a list of 32 approved candidates , and in October 24 from a list of 23 candidates . The total number of children
before the electors al the two ballots was 51 , of whom as many as 41 were elected into the School , while one girl who was unsuccessful in April had her name removed from the list nuclei the law which Fixes the maximum limit of age at 11 years . Thus , of all these 51 applicants , there now remain only nine
who are unprovided for except with the chances of winning admission at some future ballot . As regards the work done : by the Institution we have already spoken of it as being of the highest character , and that this is no mere assertion on our part is shown by the particulars set forth in the Report of the
General Committee , whicli accompanied the Statement of Accounts and Balance-sheet for icSejg . Herein it is stated that during the last 10 years ( 1881 J-98 ) out of 259 girls entered for the Cambridge Local Examinations 242 passed , and vve may add that of these 242 a considerable number were awarded
honours and distinctions in particular subjects . As regards other examinations , we are told thai in 18 99 32 girls passed—some wilh distinction in various subjects—out of 40 entered for the College oi Preceptors " Certificate Examination , and 14 out of 16 for the Junior Forms Examination .
In Music the School also distinguished itself , one girl being awarded the Licentiate Diploma of the Royal Academy of Music , and one passed in the Advanced Grade ICxamination of the Guildhall School of Music , while of the 19 who entered for the Local School Examinations conducted by the Associated Board
of lhe Roval Academy and Royal Colli : gc of Music , all passed . In the Science and Art Inanimations 43 certificates were granted ; by the Royal Drawing Socie'ty 31 certificates ; in Pitman ' s Shorthand 20 certificates ; and in swimming , three pri / . es , lour

Senior Division , of whom one was awarded Second Class Honours ; 20 ( out of 21 ) in the Junior Division—three with Second Class and two with Third Class Honours , three distinctions being also awarded ; and 20 ( out of 22 ) in the Preliminary , ol whom three took honours , while five distinctions were
avvarded .
