Abstract
From 1900 to 1930 approximately 200,000 immigrants came to Canada from Britain under the auspices of the Salvation Army. This group of immigrants was on one hand encouraged and welcomed because they fit into the desired racial and ethnic categories. On the other hand, however, they were frequently the target of criticism because some Canadians feared that the British were dumping the most poverty-stricken of their population in Canada. The experiences of 200 “pauper” children and 200 women intended for domestic work, all of whom were sponsored by the Salvation Army, contradict this perception. Despite the anxieties of many contemporaries, this group adapted and prospered in their new surroundings. De 1900 a 1930, environ 200 000 immigrants sont venus au Canada de Grande-Bretagne sous les auspices de l’Armee du Salut. D'une part, ces immigrants etaient encourages et invites a venir s’etablir parce qu’ils correspondaient aux categories raciales et ethniques souhaitees. D'autre part, cependant, ces gens faisaient souvent l'objet de critiques parce que certaines Canadiens craignaient que les Britanniques ne se debarrassent des plus pauvres de leur population en les envoyant au Canada. L’experience de 200 enfants pauvres et de 200 femmes destinees a servir comme domestiques, tous parraines par l’Armee du Salut, contredit cette perception. Malgre l’inquietude de nombreux contemporains, ce groupe s’est adapte et a prospere dans son nouvel environnement.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
