UNIVERSITY AND PUBLIC SCHOOL MEN IN THE DOMINIONS [To the
Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
SIR,—The National Union of Students under the Presidency of Lord Cecil is arranging a tour round the world for University and Public School men to visit the Dominions with the primary object of their ascertaining at first hand the attractions and opportunities which Canada, Australia and New Zealand hold out to them for settlement in the Dominions. _ This scheme has the warm approval of Mr. Ainery, Secretary of State for the Dominions. The tour will be carried out in as economical a manner as possible (probably for about £250), and on the basis that any margin after the necessary charges for organization, transport, and hotel expenses have been met will be handed back to the members. , Further, that should any member decide to break off his journey in Canada, Australia or New Zealand, with a view to immediate settle- ment, a proportionate amount of his fare will be returned to him: The party will leave England in April, accompanied by Colonel Fergutson, C.M.G., a member of the King's Body- guard, and will spend about six months on the tour, during which members will have an opportunity of studying the conditions of settlement in the different Dominions, and will receive every possible assistance in reaching a decision as to when and where to settle both from Colonel Fergusson and from the Overseas Committees in the Dominions visited. Those wishing to join should communicate with Colonel Fergusson, National Union of Students, 3 Endsleigh Street, W. S. FERGUSSON, Col.
8 Endsleigh Street, London, W.C.1.
