Child Emigration to Canada.

The Salvation Army has arranged with the Manitoba Government a new' and interesting child immigration scheme, by which it is proposed to ship out from England to Canada, in future, large numbers of deserted and orphan children at an age when they would otherwise fall on the English rates. At Winnipeg there is to be established a receiving home for children from 5 to 11 vears of

age, from which the little people are to be sent out to foster parents of British stock selected by the Government. After that, for some years, a system of inspection and reporting will be inaugurated. Behind the scheme is a desire on the part of the Government to introduce English children into Canada, and it is expected that childless settlers will come forward and help.
