308 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE, ETC. 
days are over, so that the knowledge may play some part in directing the energies 
and maintaining the interest of the pupil in his studies while still at school. 
The various ways by which teachers, parents and pupils can be brought to a 
knowledge of what the Empire overseas has to offer in the way of careers for boys and 
girls from secondary schools depend at present largely upon the unco-ordinated 
services of public and voluntary institutions. 
2. The Oversea Settlement Department.—The Oversea Settlement Department, 
Caxton House, Tothill Street, London, is prepared to supply schools with relevant 
information on application, and to arrange for lectures to be given by experienced 
speakers with special lantern slides and films. Through the co-operation of local 
authorities the Department have distributed special pamphlets dealing with 
agricultural settlement overseas to the majority of schools—both primary and 
secondary—in Great Britain. They have also made it quite clear that they stand 
ready at all times to give any further help or advice in their power to education 
authorities or to teachers. They are always glad to send experienced speakers, 
free of charge if necessary, to give addresses to schools. Broadcast talks and 
dialogues on the subject have also been given under the egis of the publicity section 
of this Department. 
3. Oversea Dominion Governments and Colonies.—(a) The Canadian Government 
Emigration Department at Canadian House, Trafalgar Square, S.W.1, has a well- 
organised scheme for sending speakers to any part of the country to give lectures, 
illustrated by lantern slides, on the facilities offered by the Canadian Government 
to prospective settlers in Canada. These speakers have hitherto gone mainly to 
country towns and villages, and to elementary schools, seldom to secondary schools, 
as they are under the impression of not being wanted there. But they would be 
only too pleased to go by invitation to any secondary school where projection 
apparatus is available. The Department has well-qualified agents residing in 
definitely arranged areas covering the whole of the British Isles, and these agents 
are fully prepared to co-operate with and to assist in any scheme for the 
dissemination of information concerning overseas life in Canada and its prospects. 
(b) The Australian Government does not at present do anything itself in the way of 
propaganda, but they are ready to lend to schools films and slides, with a copy of a 
lecture illustrative of Australian life, and to supply any statistics required. 
Application should be made to Australia House. 
(c) The New Zealand Government has, through its High Commissioner, distributed 
literature to schools and arranged for lectures in them in previous years, but owing 
to the depression at the present time these activities are suspended. 
(d) The Union of South Africa Government has hitherto had no policy towards 
the encouragement of immigration. It does not itself do anything to encourage the 
youth of Great Britain to consider the possibility of a career in the Union, although 
there are signs that this attitude may change when the present world depression has 
abated. 
(e) Southern Rhodesia, Crown House, Aldwych, W.C.2.—The Government of 
Southern Rhodesia has issued a fully illustrated handbook for the use of prospective 
settlers. It contains a very full account of the natural resources of the country, and a 
description of the land settlement schemes in operation last year. At the present 
time no encouragement is being offered by the Government to settlers unless the 
immigrant has considerable capital and has already received a training for the 
particular type of farming he desires to pursue. 
(f) The Colonies.—The Colonial Office issues a pamphlet, ‘ Colonial Service Recruit- 
ment, No. 1,’ containing general information regarding appointments in the Depend- 
encies administered by the Secretary of State. Detailedinformation upon appointments 
in each branch of the Service (administrative, medical, educational, legal, etc.) is 
afforded in Nos. 2 to 9 of the same series. No. 4 deals with agricultural, veterinary, 
forestry, and other scientific appointments. The pamphlets can be obtained by 
application in writing to the Director of Recruitment (Colonial Service), Colonial 
Office, 2 Richmond Terrace, Whitehall, 8.W.1. 
4. The Imperial Institute.—The Imperial Institute at South Kensington has been ~ 
a potent agency by means of its Galleries, Cinema and lectures, for spreading knowledge 
of the overseas Empire among the schools. The Galleries have been purposely 
reorganised during the last four years with the object of not confining the exhibits to — 
the raw products—animal, vegetable, and mineral—produced in each part of the
