Eleven Homes for Each Child.
The first party under tris plan ar-
rived' at Quebec in 1869 and was cor-
dially received by Government .officials
and citizens, and, since that time; with-
oat
ithoat , interruption except during • the
war, parties have.: annually' been
brought to Canada and settled in agri-
cultural districts. The number of per-
sons ready to take these children into
their homes has .steaily increased, as,
is, shown by the fact -that for the 37,-
292 brought to Canada in the twenty-
one years under review, • there were no
fewer than 434,670 applicants, or about
11 for each child: Wirth such a wide
choice it has been easy to find good
homes for the young immigrants.
On arrival the chi'Idren proceed to- a
receiving home and in due course are
sent to foster homes selected for them
in advance. The following is a list of
receiving:. homes in Canada:
