(_a_) To Emigrate only such Women and Girls as are of good character and capacity. (_b_) To select only such Men and Families as are suitable to the requirements of each Colony. (_c_) To secure for them proper Protection on the voyage, and adequate Reception on arrival. (_d_) If possible, not to lose sight of them for a year or two after their Emigration. (_e_) To raise a Loan Fund for necessitous cases, repayment being secured on detained wages. It is recognised by prominent statesmen of all parties that the future of our South African possessions depends on their colonisation--not only by the large bodies of active and energetic men, who at the close of the war will find permanent employment there--but also by trained and capable women. Many situations and professions are already awaiting them, and as the country becomes more settled, fresh openings of all sorts will arise. Women of proved suitability are prepared to go, when the right time comes, but a great barrier to all extensive development of this essential movement is lack of funds. Financial support is needed for the following purposes:-- (1) The establishment, on sound business principles, of Hostels at Cape Town[1] and at the chief centres, such as Durban, Pretoria, Kimberley, Johannesburg, Bloemfontein, Bulawayo, Salisbury, &c., where women and girls can be received for a few days on arrival, and where, if they have daily engagements, they may reside permanently. Each of these Hostels would be also an employment Bureau for every kind of women's work, and would require a capable salaried Lady Superintendent to manage the Home and the Employment Bureau, and to act as correspondent between Employer and Employed. (2) Provision for the proper care and guidance of women throughout the journey from the British Isles to their final destination in South Africa. (3) Grants in aid of passages from the British Isles to South Africa when the traveller cannot afford the whole cost, or loans to be repaid within a given period. (4) Preparation of women at the Leaton Colonial Training Home, Wellington, Salop. (5) Secretarial Expenses. British men and women must alike desire for our new territories, and for South Africa generally, the same ordered, wholesome, law-abiding traditions as are to be found in the Old Country; and these can only be built up on a lasting basis, by rendering life possible there as here for suitable women, whether as teachers, nurses, secretaries, typists, telegraph or telephone clerks, sempstresses, or household assistants.
