"TIMES" SAYS PLENTY AVAILABLE. MUST NOT .SET TOO HIGH STANDARD. ' By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright, London, July i. "The Times" remarks tliat there,is in Great Britain a large body of boys without flexibility of adaptation, yet with plenty of good stuff 'in them, which, if properly moulded, would yield good results, whether in the Motheror the colonies. "But," continues "Tho Times," "if they go to the colonies they should go early." ' The paper adds:—"Our Australian correspondent has shown the strong feeling of Australians in favour, of agricultural immigration. Tho Dominions must not, however, expect to get the flower of tho very classes needed in the Homeland j they must bo content with a good average. The best means of obtaining it is to attract immigrants whilo they are still young."
