Among the many agencies in Great Britain engaged in the

very important task of emigrating children, from- Great Britain to the Dominions, a high place in public esteem is undoubtedly occupied by the Child Emigration Society, founded by a Rhodes Scholar, Mr. Kingsley Fairbridge. Sir Arthur Lawley summarized its aims when he said that "in this Merry England of ours there were thousands of children born every year under the menace of a hideous struggle from the cradle to the grave. They, as a society, were out to take such- children by the hand and to give them a chance in life ; to take them away from the rookeries and blind alleys of slum life and bring them to the knowledge of something cleaner and better elsewhere."
