FLOCK HOUSE SCHEME.
REQUEST FOR CONTINUANCE. SIR JAMES ALLEN’S PRAISE. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Dec. 4. Speaking, at a meeting regarding Empire settlement, Sir James Allen paid a tribute ~to the work done in New Zealand by the Church of England, the Salvation Army and those responsible for the Flock House movement. The Flock House scheme had been an extraordinary success, said Sir James, and those brought out under it were lipw at the stage when they were going to take up farms of their own. This movement was coming to an end. The boys’ scheme would end this, year, and the girls’ scheme would gradually die out. Sir James said he expected that a recommendation would be made to the Government that Flock House should be continued and that New Zealand boys should be trained and allotted to farms afterwards, or that boys, other than sons of those who were killed or were injured during the war, should be brought out from Home. These were first-class schemes for setting younger people on the land.
