 Montgomery, Ala, April 23, 1895. "To the President and Members of Dis trict Grand Lodge No. T. l. O. B. B., in Convention Assembled
 Brethren: Your committee begs leave to report as follows:
 '1. The message of the president shows that although financial panic prevailed throughout the country, which was especially felt in the district of the order the membership was in creased and two new lodges installed. "2.The question referred to regarding section 5, article 13, will no doubt be acted upon by the endowment com mittee, where it properly belongs, and all other matters appertaining to the endowment, as also that recommenda- tion found on page 5. under the head ing of graded assessments.
 Manual Training School. "Whilst we appreciate the great bless ings a manual training school would be in connection with the Jewish widows and orphans home at New Orleans we are of the opinion that the expenses of erecting such an institution would be entirely too large to put into execution, especially so as the number of children who would, or could, avail themselves thereof is too small. We recommend, however, that steps be taken for the erection of a non-sectional training school for larger boys, either in New Orleans or some other large city of the district.
 Indigent Members.
 "Regarding the recommendation as to indigent members, this is a matter that must be left entirely to the subordinate lodges, and we feel satisfied that no worthy brother will be permitted to suffer or be expelled.
 Intellectual Culture.
 "In connection with this subject we recommend that the grand lodge again appropriate $500 for the purpose of de- fraying the expenses of lecturers to be sent by the president from time to time, through the district.
 Tn conclusion, we would say that the thanks of the order are due to Brother Charles F. Moritz for the able zealous and courteous manner with which he has performed the arduous duties Of his high ofFice Fraternally yours,
