But now a different state of of Henry Lester has school, he has decreed that the old schoo! shall be pulled down and a new one built, and has. provided the money for so doing. He has made it a condition that, althouxsh the school may still be "Cathedral School" it nust also bear the title "Henry Lester Endowment". The school is, to be managed by 'a committee of persons four of whom must be appointed by the Lester trustees:
