SYDNEY’S “DOLE” VILLAGE
CLERGYMANS HELPING HAND. TRAINING FOR THE LAND. Twenty-live dwellings constitute a substantial village. The settlement established near Sydney by Canon Hammond is expected to have more than that number of homes before Easter. The village is about 22 miles from the city and the residents are families on the dole that could not pay their rent. Canon Hammond lias made it possible for them to live without that worry, and in surroundings that permit the raising of vegetables and poultry. The settlers will not become small farmers at once. .Some, however, may acquire a liking for a life on the land, and ultimately develop a little holding upon which they may make a happy living. Canon Hammond’s ventures are being watched closely by many people. If his expectations are realised there will be several other settlements. His latest note of assurance is that the village now being established will have a school. The supporters of the enterprise will provide the building, which will be available for meetings, dances and entertainment generally, and for religious exercises. The second settlement of this kind will have the advantake of the experience? of the first.
