MRS. J. H. HEWITT DIED THURSDAY
—After a long and trying illness the
spirit of Mrs. John H. Hewitt. Brus-

one daughter, Mrs. Wm. Mitchell, who
are assured of widespread sympathy in
their great loss. The subject of this
notice took an active interest in the
work of the Presbyterian church and
was a member of the choir for years.
Sbe was always reedy to lend assistance
to the Women's Inititute, Red Cross
work and other projects of good to the
community. Cause of death was a ner-
vous breakdown. Near relatives surviv-
ingare• Mrs. Hugh Ropb, Mrs. Nelson

MAXWELL T. ABRAM,Proprietor,
The Child Immigrant
A group of pretty children aboard a C.P.R. Liner on the
way to Canada.
The flow of child immigrants into
Canada has started again, after its
complete cessation during the war;
The recent arrival at Quebec, on a
C. P. R. steamer, of several hundred
boys from the Barnardo Homes of
London, draws attention anew to
this important and desirable stream
of juvenile immigration.
Few realize that a total of 75,000
child immigrants have entered the
Dominion since the first shipload
am
a sears s
'
y
Y go Itstaydilgrew
On volume until two thousand a ear
entered the country, the number
Broaching high water mark in one
year with 3,268.
Who are these Child Immigrants?
They come from eleven British in-
atitutione of a philanthropic char-
acter such as the Bernardo the
Quarrier, the MacPherson anti the
National Children's Homes, in which,
as orphans or semi -orphans, they are
rescued, oared for and trained for
their adult life. Only the beat—
physically, mentally and morally —
are sent to Canada and then only
atter as thorough preparation as can
be given to young boys and girls.
The fact that seventy-five per cent.
of those who come to Canada follow
agricultural pursuits and that over
Btinety per cent. of the total arrivala
make good in their e{r new home, makes
them a highly addition
g y tc
the population. They are not only
under close supervision in these Oki
Country Homes, but the selected
parties for overseas are accom-
panied by trained workers. On land-
ing, they tiro first taken to one of
the score ore
or more R
eceiv {n rind
Distributing Homes to be found in
the chief cities. This means that
the placing of the child immigrants
jig jester homes is conduc
is much care as their transfer across
the Atlantic. It is a remarkable
fact in this connection that for every
boy and girl thus brought to Canada,
there have been s dozen applicants.
This demand enables those who are
responsible for the children's well-
being to allocate them with great
care. There follows close inspection
'ind supervision of them for some
time after they are placed and this
also tends to keep high the average
of successful adoption to new con,.
ditions in a new land.
It should be remembered that hun-
dreds of these same boys, who came
in earlier years, enlisted voluntarily
in the war and served with the high-
est distinction, proving themselves
to be as loyal and brave as the best
of Canadians.
The 75,000 child immigrants have
long since been absorbed into the
life of Canada and are playing their
part in her development. They have
been successful in all ranks of life
and are found in all the professions
and other lines of work, Some have
found their way to legislative halls,
some are in the ministry and a large
number are equally successful farm-
ers, stock growers and ranchers.
Every province has its quota, and
hundreds of testimonials are on file
as to the highqualities of these
youthfulimmigrants immi n s
t who are re-
solved into the life of the Dominion
in their plastic years and who, by
kindly care and oversight, are guid-
ed into a useful citizenship.
In addition to the class of immi-
grant children above described many
