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 children of excellent e t British'I faint ice corns to Canada. 'Soule come with their parents while other strike out alone er at.companled for this coup. with, try in their eaxiy youth.—b', i'• 1liM••M•�iIR•i►Ml11*••a!*•rlrljflllpl•••p9i••••QMM••Ypar•••••.
