Lord Rothscnild ana his advisers recognize
the fact that the entire proposition is an
experiment, ana. like all experiments, re-
qulres time for the complete working out
OF all the pans. Hence the report from
the first Of these families Will be carefully
watched. Lord Rothschild and his COM
mittee have hopes-being wise men, they
are not sanguine. but they have hopes
that from these 2Go families can be gath
cred and CLEANED facts which will aid in
the settlement of the entire unemployed
question. Hence the eyes of the world viii

marked when some one in the audience at
his church put up the many-are-called-bu but

enough. We can't all go who want to GO"
Il am not so sure. II this experiment is
a success you may rest assured that more
money will be forthcoming
Lord Rothchlld's committee has set itself
to prove the following points:
That an adult given a complete outdt OF
clothes and small sum of money can be
emigrated at a cost OF only $50.
That by carefully choosing the emigrant
and trusting In the main to his honesty
he will IN time refund the greater por-
tion OF the money advanced to him, thus
enabling others TO be sent
That work can be found for families be-
fore their arrival and that they go
straight into situations on their entry into
Canada There will thus be little danger
of families being stranded on the other
side.
That by following these lines on a large
scale It will greatly reduce the poor rates
in the various districts. and that. there
fore. Il might be advisable 10 consider
grants in aid of eInigrsting suitable sub
.ects who would repay the money thus
advanced, as circumstances permitted
other Families 10 Come.
In short. II is hoped that practically the
whole OF the sum expended will be re-
turned in time and that the COMMITTEES
will thus be able to assist a0J additional
families TO emigrate. But il is felt by the
committee that the emigrants ought no,

the money. great proportion OF IN,
