Quotes:

R. W. Bros Dunlop in 1932. "Masonic Education will help us solve many of the problems which we face today. We must all set ourselves literally to make a daily advancement in Masonic knowledge. There is plenty in Masonry to attract the ablest student. Could our ideal be reached, could we say that every member of our lodges was reading about Masonry, was delving into Masonic Lore, what a vast improvement there would be in this jurisdiction.
