Original Correspondence .

THE ROYAL MASONIC INSTITUTION FOR BOYS . To the Editor of the "Freemason . " Dear Sir and Brother , The course recent events have taken permits me , without impropriety , to reply to the letter of Bro . Godson in your last issue , and to notice that of Bro . Plucknett , which 1 refrained from at the time , teeling it was not decorous to discuss the Report ot the Committee of Inquiry until

the Special Court had dealt with it . The Craft has now before it what may be deemed the official answer to the Report on " the most important" of the many points raised . No injustice , therefore , will be done if we think that so well qualified an advocate as Bro . Godson has , after reflection , selected his best points foi attack and defence . He ranges them under five heads . Let me follow him on

each . 1 . It is argued we are inconsistent in first saying that the dismissal of the six masters "en bloc" put a " very severe strain " on the discipline of the School , and afterwards in stating that the masters who chastised the boys , contrary to the rules , were dismissed—that we thuspraise and blame the same act .

The official defence cannot here be congratulated on a very brilliant opening . We neither praise nor blame ; we simply record the facts . Does Bro . Godson deny them ? If dismissing all the assistant masters at one clean sweep be not " a very severe strain " on discipline , I do not know the meaning of the words ; that no evil resulted shows the discipline was good , and the point wc were establishing , and which we confessedly made good .

2 . The second point against the Committee of Inquiry is that it stigmatised the House Committee as a " One Man" Committee . We are told we are wrong , as the Secretary ' s opinion as to the propriety of appointing our Committee was not adopted , nor has the House Committee ever allowed " its opinions to be over-ruled . " No one ever supposed it—or that the control fell away from their hands by their expressed opinions being set at nought .

The mischief was they so seldom expressed their opinions , and let matters slide , thus virtually abandoning their position and control . We only heard of three cases in all wheie they asserted themselves . That the House Committee vvas unconscious it had practically surrendered its functions , and believed it really controlled the management , is , no doubt , true ; even now Bro . Godson seems hardly to have realised the true position .
