Crook , and they ^ would remember how great were the fears felt at her decease , lest the school should suffer in its efficiency and discipline ^ He was glad , however , to say , and he was sure the Brethren would be as glad to hear , that it had not so suffered , but that Miss Jarwood , who had been many years with Mrs . Crook , had proved herself fully equal to the task of efficiently conducting the institution , — -and whilst rendering this tribute of praise to that most estimable
lady , he could not help reminding the Brethren that she was a few years ago like one of those young children they saw before them- —she having been educated under the roof of their school . ( Cheers . ) Fortunate as the governors had been in finding one so well able to conduct the household department of their establishment , they had been equally fortunate in obtaining a lady to conduct the education of the children who had been trained in one of the best training schools in the country , and Miss Souter had not only gained the love of the
children , but the respect of every person connected with management of the school . In glancing over the report to which he had alluded , he found that it was proposed to increase the branches of education within the school so as to fit the children to take a position in society such as they might have obtained had their parents continued in prosperity , or not been removed from their families b y the hand of death . This was rendered necessary by the improved education now given to every class of society , and the feeling , in which he was
sure all would concur , that their children should not be left behind others in the education necessary to fit them for a respectable position in life . ( Cheers . ) But he was happy to say that in that most important branch of education , the discharge of household duties , their school was found to bear favourable comparison with any similar institution —( Cheers ) —and that every endeavour would J > e made to maintain its efficacy in that respect . He hoped that he had not trespassed on their patience too long , but he ought to have told them that in their beautiful schooLhouse at Wandsworth , they now had seventy children , and
thatthese children were being trained so as to shed a lustre upon any position , however high and respectable to which they might be called . He begged to remind the Brethren that they were the guardians of those children , and as such he called upon them for liberal subscriptions to keep it in that efficiency and high position which it had attained . ( Applause . ) In conclusion , he would propose , " Prosperity to the Eoyal Freemasons' Society for Female Children . " ( Applause . ) The children having sung the festival hymn .
Bro . Crew , Sec . to the school said , he had now to present to the R . W . Brother in the chair , Lucy Ann Leaver , and to request him to place round her neck the medal which had been awarded her for her good conduct , and the example she set to the school . He should also have the pleasure of requesting the B . W . Chairman to hand to her a prize for writing , the gift of Bro . Woollerton , W . M . of the Fitzroy Lodge , as well as another prize for general efficiency in her
education . There were other prizes to be distributed to the children , being the gifts of a Brother who had now gone to St . Helena , but who previous to his departure , had provided for paying during his lifetime , £ 5 . a year into his ( Bro . Crew ' s ) hands for the purpose of presenting these prizes . Bro . Nathaniel Solomon had thus shown his attachment to the school , which be was sure he would still further endeavour to promote the advantage of when he again returned to this
country . The H . W . Chairman proceeded to place the medal round the neck of Miss Leaver , and said : Brethren , it has become my privilege , and will be my great happiness , to place upon the neck of this young girl this beautiful medal , which is given her not for her excellence in the educational department of the school—that is to he awarded her hereafter—so much as for her general good conduct , while
she has been in the institution . Lucy Ann Leaver , in giving you this medal it affords me great pleasure to have the opportunity of impressing upon you that you should receive it as a great trust—looking upon it not so much for its value as a medal , but as an acknowledgment of your own good conduct whilst in the institution , and which you must endeavour to continue through life .
