100000 to Send Youths to America.

$500, 900 to Send Youths to America.
Lord Mountstephen's generous de-
cision to allot sum of about three
hundred thousand dollars for emil
grating young children to Canada, and
devote the income resulting to that
purpose, is likely to have important
results in empire building.
His lordship has selected Doctor
Barnardo's homes as the mediums by
which his scheme shall be put into
execution, and it is his earnest desire
to send the young emigrants at the
earliest possible age at which they are
fit, in order that they may grow up in
a new country strengthened by the
larger hope of sturdiness and indie
pendence.
Mr.. Baker, the present head of Doc
tor Barnardo's homes, explained that
the income from Lord Mountstephh's
trust would amount to nearly fifteen
thousand dollars a year, and this
would enable the homes to send out
an additional 800 children annually.
The whole of the income would be
spent on emigration pure and simple,
none of it going to establish charges,
either in England or Canada.
