Darkest England 50. isi scheme"
Gen. Booth Is about TO lnaugura.te what
he viii perhaps be pleased to term Dark
est America Social Scheme In the United
States. and not only here. but IN Canada
and every coun;rs where he can gain a
foothesd. IT will be after the fashion of
his Darkest England Social Scheme"
upon whsch be VIII discourse at the meet
ing tonight. That scheme. started III 1921.
Was the elevation or the low and degraded
and pJorer classes OF London. in which
great deal % money has been spent and
much good done. There Is great com
inenaaslon of the scheme and some crlti-
cFsfD. even IN as far of city as Seattle.
The general selected for his great suciai
experiment plot of land situated al Had
leigh. about an hours ride out Of London.
England. where he secured nearly 3.ua0
acres of land. 100 OF which was cuiti-
waited and for the Improvement or which
he secured half a million dollars. lie es-
tablsshed the first farm colony and also a
city colony. where seven labor factories
were built. and where nearly $500 men
passed through UP 10 June Of the present
year
At the farm colony cattle. hogs. poultry.
vegetables corn. etc, are raised. and be-
tween 4ssl and 700 people ind work. Brick
and other like products are manufactured.
OF the nearly s.cga men who have served
In The factories. over 100 secured situa-
tons elsewhere az private manufactures
and nearly 100 we're sent down 10 fne
farm colony The expense 10 the
scheme" as Il is called. is about 10 cents
per week per capita. Those men went to
the colony from the lowest depths OF the
zIuns ce London and ia the report Of the
result 81 per cent. were said 10 be sin
/ living the reformed life at the end OF the
first year. . per cent. had gone back 10
tsas old haunts and habits and others were
ssli in doubt. Ia London Gen. Booth has
provided thirty-sive homes Of different
