This organization assisted boys (usually 16 years and up) who wanted to emigrate to one of the colonies. This was done under a program called the Empire Settlement Act. The society would find jobs for the boys in Canada. I am not sure of the P.M. at the end so will have to look into this one. Under the terms of the agreements the boys were to repay some of the money they were advanced. DUCKERS, Alfred - 11 S.S. METAGAMA APR 20, 1920 Left Liverpool April 09, 1920 Arrived St. John N.B.
