Cadetships.

The Commissioner of Customs lias resolved to engage the services of well-educated youths as "cadets." So says our Diuiedin Telegraph Agent. The meaning of this is that a number of well educated young men of respectable families are to be allowed to do the work of the Customs Department throughout the Provinces of the Colony, for which they will receive pay about equal to that given to a runner-boy for a newspaper, or a lad engaged to deliver parcels or to car' - y messages for a drapery establishment. Parents will look upon these cadetships as being highly respectable, the appointment promising in the very distant future a miserable annual stipend upon which to maintain a spurious gentility. The salary of these cadets we are informed will range from £4O to £SO per annum. And it is by the use of such cadetships that the Colony is deprived of young blood to open up the interior, whilst our towns and cities become over crowded by surplus respectability being encouraged to hang about the doors of Government offices, supplicating that kind of patronage which can only be obtained at the sacrifice of much independence and feeling.— New Zealand Herald.
