NEW SETTLERS.
VICTORIA LEAGUE ACTIVITIES. A NEW SCHEME SUGGESTED. By Telegraph-—Pi ess AssGciarion. Dunedin. Last Night. The conference of the Victoria League was held here to-day. A small committee was set up to consider the question of holding the conference annually instead of biennially. On the motion of Mrs. Tripp it was decided that the present system of nominating emigrants be revised in favour of following one under which, if satisfactory particulars of situations requiring educated women workers are supplied to the immigration officer, Wellington, he will permit the new settlers’ committee of the Victoria League to cable open nominations at week-end rates, the girls to be selected by the Society for the Overseas Settlement of British Women in London, and approved at the High Commissioner’s Office, this being deemed sufficient to secure assisted passages to New Zealand. Mr. Thomson (Under-Secretary for Immigration) assured the League that the department would assist it in every way. and suggested the group system of nomination.
