In 1901 the League of the Empire,mag. hiated a scheme for bringing children in different parts of the Empire into touch with, each other for mutual correspondence. Some slight idea of the expansion which has come from small begumiagj may be gathered from the fact that over 17,000 children; are now ; members of the comrades' correspondence section with each, other. Each child signs a form giving, its age, sex, parontage, and address, and stating what are its. interests, and in what country it wishes to have a comrade. These forms are sent to the offices of tho league, wheie they are quickly compared with those already received, and the child put in touch with another of the same age, sex, position in life and interests, in. the country chosen, bo Uμ correspondence begins, and leads , frequently' to steady friendships, and. in every case awakens interest and fellowfeeling among children in all.corners of our great Empire.
