EmiErRnts Cause Rivalry.
A keen struggle is going on between
Canada and Australia for the British emi
grants who leave these shores every year
both colonies proclaim their need of men
and their agents are equally alert in en-

respective lands In the most favorable light

Where Australia loses IN the struggle 70
Smigrantp, however, appears to be in tn
fact that It possesses no central emigration

secretary of the commonwealth in Eng

was that all Of the states should come un

OhTdren for Canada.
About two years ago Mrs. Close pro
pounded a scheme 10 the various board
OF guardians in the metropolis for tn
bringing up of workhoUse children In tn
country districts Of Canada The schem
met with the approval Of several we
known people. notably the Archbishop q
York. Lord O'Hagan and others. but n
practical steps were taken by any boar

Mrs. Close therefore decided TO make a
experiment with ten children at her own en-
pense. She visited Canada and obtRine

glowingly 20 Mrs. Close OF their progres

not an emigration scheme nor ia II a ohai

with money raised by the rates and sper
by public bodies for the maintenance {

with regard TO the cost Mrs. close say
the capital outlay Is only SIS per chill
against an average here OF $3.50, and II
cost OF maintenance is much lower than
