Notes for additions to the article
"Some 50,000 young people were brought to Australia under youth migration schemes" (Gill), as part of the planned immigration program. They were, with almost no exception, young British men under 21 years of age. --Greenmaven (talk) 07:09, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

"Big Brother Movement THE British executive of the "Big Brother" movement has announced that the patron (the Prince of Wales) wishes to present a signed certificate to every "Big Brother" who has satisfactorily discharged his duties when the "Little Brother" reaches the age of 21 years, as a proof of the gratitude of the movement. The suggestion was adopted. Captain S. T. Thornton will open a tour in Canada in the autumn on be half of the "Big Brother" movement. He will reach Vancouver in October, after a three months' tour of Australia, where he will visit the "Little Brothers" on their farms. Captain Thornton proposes to lecture in every city in Canada, in order to stimulate interest in the movement, which is seeking to extend its activities throughout the Empire." --Greenmaven (talk) 12:23, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

BIG BROTHER MOVEMENT EXPANDING The Big Brother Movement, which by sponsoring rural minded boys from Britain is helping them to become es- tablished as independent farmers in Australia, has grown in less than five years until there now are 85 "Little Brothers" in the State. New South Wales is the only other State where the Big Brothers operate, and it has restricted the probability of failure by the establishment of I a training farm where the boys go for their first three months in Australia. It is hoped that a similar scheme may be set up in Tas- mania where aptitudes could 'be assessed, and the 'boys would immediately toe directed to the type of farm which would best suit their capabilities. The eldest of the "Little Brothers" in Tasmania are still in their early 20's, and although none. has become an indepen- dent farmer, several are work- ing their sponsor's iand on a share-farming basis. Others run sniall dairy herds under, a similar arrangement. --Greenmaven (talk) 12:29, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Year of founding?
The current website sourced suggests that the Big Brothers Movement was founded 1924, however literally ever other source I can find states it was founded 1925. I'm not sure if I should edit it, because I don't really edit on Wikipedia.
