He referred to cther remarkable cases of enterprise and talent brought out in unexpected places, ‘So wholeheartedly did teachers, parents, employers and others responâ€" sible for the guidance of youth give their support to the plan,""‘ said Mr. Lascot, ‘*‘that I feel sure that, directâ€" ly and indirectly, it is safe to say that considerably ovér a million peoâ€" ple took an active and intimate interâ€" est in the progress of the plan. Sureâ€" ly this means a wonderful work in mal\mO' Canada known in the Old 1j 'md"' Mr. Lascot referred to three powerâ€" ful factors contributing to the success the ages of the candidates. _ Avery encouragement was given for referâ€" ence and other suitable books to be studied freely. _ It was urged that libraries be searched for information and that the questions be discussed with teachers, fellowâ€"scholars, leading men and women, parents, anycne and everyone who might help. _ Jn this way the demoeratic spirit of the plan was sustained and immense inâ€" terest roused in the scheme among all classes and peoples."‘ There was mno political purpose in the plan, Mr. Lascot said. ‘‘It was not even designed to influence immiâ€" gration. It was above all else a patriâ€" otic effort in Emipire education, the outstanding aim of which is to induce a fuller conception of the true meanâ€" ing of citizenship in the Empire. ‘*School pupils were asked to write an essay on Canada,"‘ said Mr. Laseot, ‘‘the prizes being the finc tour and the scholarship awards. Over 250,000 boys and girls entered the contest. It can easily be imagined what an interâ€" est the compotition aroused in regard to Canada. The entrants were invited to qualify for the travel awards and the scholarships by answering a series of **General quescions on popular Empire subjects. _ ‘These questions were published daily over a period of four weeks, being carefully graded in six sections, according to THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO There were literally tons of worked papers to examine and pass upon. _ It was easily the greatest public exâ€" amination on record at one time, â€" For three weeks a large body of experts were busy at the work of examining and marking the papers. Then came the final personal selection of the 25 young men and 25 young women from 200 selected candidates. The selectâ€" ed fifty were given a ‘‘sendâ€"off"" luncheon at the Mansion House, Lonâ€" don, presided over by the Lord Mayor of London, at which many notables, including Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, premier of Ontario, were present. Mr. Laseot commented further that the plan has the hearty support of leaders in every walk of life in Briâ€" tain, including:â€"HR.H. the Prince of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of York, Premier Baldwin, Mr. L. S. Mr. Lascot pointed out that in reâ€" cent years there have been many parâ€" ties on tour of public school boys and teachers, but such opportunities were naturally open only to those who could afford heavy fares and other expenses. The *‘‘Young Ambassador‘‘ tour on the other hand was planned to bring the opportunity within reach of all in the British Isles, free and without reâ€" striction, irrespective of class or means, the type of school attended or the employment followed. The plan was open to all bhetween the ages of 8 and 21 years. Those beâ€" tween 14 and 21 wkere eligible for 50 Free Travel awards, entitline the holders to participate in the Canadian tour, and those between 8 and 14 were offered 24 home scholarships of $250 each, to be devoted excelusively to the zgeneral educational advancement of the winners. The young man or young woman at college and sehool and employed in business or inâ€" dustry _ have been afforded, for the first time, the opportunity to see one noteworthy part of the Empire. plan with rare ability and earnestness. The Canadian National Rairlways, preâ€" sident, directors and staff, and the Cunard Steamship Company, were equally generous and helpful. _ The Canadian National Railways made themselves responsible for the free transportation of the party in Canada and for the programme of the party on their tour here. of the scheme.
