Ixtrodttctio^. Among The Many Emigration...
_IXTRODtTCTIO _^ . Among the many emigration schemesGovernment or otherit has
never , we believe , been attempted to , promote the emigration , of educated women , of whom we have in England so large gt surplus
_dejDendent upon their own exertions for support , that they are a drug" in our female labour marketwhile their services are sorely
needed in our colonies . , We are aware that , at first sight , a thousand obstacles to the
successful emigration of educated women start into view , and that , even when these obstacles are steadily looked in the face , a large
amount of care and foresight is needed in the promoters of such a scheme ; a patient mastering of facts and details ; a carefulelaborate
and conscientious organization ; and though last , not least , , a wise , selection of candidates .
Still , we believe all this capable of achievement , and the end to be gained well worth any amount of time and trouble on the part
of those who undertake it , in the relief it is calculated to afford to thousands dragging on existence in penury and suffering here , who
only need to be transplanted to the colonies to become happy and _valuables members of societyblessings in their own generationand
in the generations to come . , , The Committee of the Society for Promoting the Enrployment of
Women are now organizing a plan for the emigration of educated womena sketch of which it is our purpose to give here .
From , inquiries already made , and information received , it is evident that a new field for the employment of educated women is
open in many , if not all , of our colonies . Hitherto , what we must be allowed to call _indejDendent emigration has been almost entirely
confined to the men of the middle classes ; while organized emigration , Government or other , has been for the men and women of the
lower classes only . The signal failure of Government emigration , spite of its elaborate offices , its well-paid staff , and its rules and
regulations—perfect , so far as pen , ink , and paper are concernedlong felt in the colonies , is beginning to make itself felt at home ,
