BOY IMMIGRANTS.
MISCONCEPTION OF LOCAL CONDITIONS. By Oa-ble—Press Association—Copyright London, May 25. Sir J. Taverner, Victorian AgentGeneral, interviewed by the Chronicle as to the statement that public opinion was alarmed at the Church Army's indiscriminate advertising for funds to send hoys to Australia, said: "I have found t'he action of outside bodies, however well intended, is frequently based on a misconception of colonial conditions, and tends to defeat immigration policies formed by the various States upon the lessons of experience. Widespread advertising by philanthropic bodies unsettles many boys in good situations in England. The Agents-General and the Government Immigration Offices are already snapping up through their own channels the quota of immigrants actually required by the various colonies, i am sending a batch of carefully-selected boys to positions allotted with practical farmers."
