i committed myself on the spur of the moment, to the tile above.
However, my sentiments have not changed, nor for that matter has the contents of the lecture, for they are much the same as I had originally proposed, the true facts of the matter are that what I have to say this evening has all been said before, and mostly by more skilled and qualified Masons than I.
Therefore Brethren all I can hope in this delivery is a different approach and a wish that my enthusiasm may spark some action before it is all too late.
The main criticism at the time R.W. Bro. Butcher delivered his address on the subject of Masonic education, was that any formal tuition would create an inflexible and stereotyped group of Masters who would not consider or attempt to inject any of their own input into their year of office, and thus it would tend to reduce and weaken the diverse fabric of our Craft.
This type of comment I challenge in retrospect as being most untrue.
