In Canada, a young people has since 1867 been steadily working its way toward a national consciousness. The really vital task since Confederation has been the creation of a great nation from the diverse elements which skilful statesmanship brought together into a central parliament. From a bold dream, the Fathers of Confederation fashioned a practical plan which down through the years has welded 10 far-flung provinces into a powerful nation.

A recent count reveals a population five times the figure for 1867. This has resulted not only from the birth of new babies but through the influx of eager new citizens whom older countries have, down through the decades, sent for the peopling of a new world, abounding in opportunity. Canada's story since Confederation has been one of continuing growth in those vital areas of activity by which a young country moves toward maturity.
