; The following are extracts from
Grand Master Busbee's address:
,' ; Froni the report of - tho grand sec
retary, to whom . I am so much in
debted; for counsel and ; assistance
during the year, you will learn in de
tail the state of the. order. - .Upon a
survey of the whole field, the outlook
is decidedly encouraging. JPurged of
many, drones, the lodges for the most
part are in good working condition,
and hopeful for the future. Dispen
sations have been granted for thes
tablishment of ten- new . lodges," and
several dormant lodges have been re
wved , " ; "
VlRescued from lives of "poverty and
vie, ; comfortably clad," ., fed v with
wholesome food, iustructed in useful
labor, the orphans in the Oxford asy
lum are our living, evidences of the
f ractical charity; of free masonry,
t is the com pletest vindication of the
claim of masonry to the approbation
and support of the good uieh and
women of North Carolina. . -
Masons of North Carolina, I earn
estly yray that you may feel the full
weignt oi ine .responsiomty wnicn
this action of the legislature imposes
upon every member ot the fraterni ¬
ty. , We. are made the, almoners ot
the charity of the State : , upon lis . is
devolved the obligation of carrying
ufuil affecklhajaonsjituljooaljjiblr-
gation resting upon the Ueneral As
sembly "to provide for the establish
ment of one or more orphan, houses"
and for the method in which we exe
cute the trust we are respohsible to
the taxpayers ot North Carolina It
is a rare compliment to entrust ' du-
ties of ;this importance to directors
who are not appointed Vby State au
thority. . The appropriation is not
sufficient nor is it intended to be suf
ficient to support the asylum; : If it
were, no seli-respecting mason would
administer the tund as z a masonic
charity. , The purpose declared was
to enable the authorities otthe asy
lum to increase the number of ins
mates, to receive children of younger
age and tOydischarge its increased age

by promoted. ' And especially is .it
intended to establish features of in
dustrial education. The report of the
directors and j accompanying report
of the superintendent should receive
your careful scrutiny. . ' " -.
jno one teeia tne oenciencies ot ine
asylum more "? than those T connected
with its management and their unf
r emitting endeavor during tne com
ma vear shall be to supply its wants;
It is the intention of the directors to
Bet on foot a . department of instrucs
tion in plain cookery. ' The; girls are
also taught plain sewing, and, we
have added during the year moraad'
vanced instruction in dress-making
Both girls and bovs who " show apti
tude are to be encouraged ' to - learn
types writing, and as soon as our ar
rangements .can-, oe perfected a de
partment oc teiegrapny win oe added.
The boys are now taught printing,
and some are learning the art of the
baker. Farm work is required - and
it is hoped that we can include praN
tical instruction:and practice which
will help the boys to positions as
overseers. uaroenmg win nereaiter
receive more attention and should
be taught as a regular branch of in
struction. 'A wood-working depart
ment and a department of shoemak-
ing: are also in contemplation. These
: .-v . it- s t.ii.f
are not yet an accomuns"eu mum,
bdt we trust that all will soon be. ; -
These features, which - will , add so
materially to the value of ; the insti
tution, will necessarily increase the
expenditures, and we shall be obliged
to rely no less than heretofore upon
the liberality' of the Masons ot North
Carolina. - And not upon Masons
alone, but upon .-. the whole body of
tho neonle. the cnurcnes. and tne
benevolent of every class and denom
