Received April 1, 10.10 p.m. London, April 1. Speaking at the Carpenters' Company dinner, Sir G. 11. Roid, High Commissioner for the Commonwealth, said he wished that every working youth on leaving school not only had the opportunity, but was strongly encouraged to feel that the real education of life was just beginning. While with one voice they cried ''Arm! Arm!'' with another they cried "Educate! 'Educate!'' Jt was his aim to turn the strr-m of emigration to a greater extent to the areas within the Empire. Australia wanted to take not merely men. but children. Tens of thousands of English girls and boys were brought up at great cost by the poor-law institutions, and at the age of sixteen were thrown on their own resources. He would make strong representations to his Government so that these young people could be taken from bleak homes in the Motherland to the free spaces of Australia, where they ■would be welcomed. Juvenile emigration was the best emigration for Australia.
