APPRENTICESHIP
* COMPLAINT AGAINST PRESENT SYSTEM. The report of a committee concerning the question of apprenticeship was considered at a meeting of the Wellington Trades and Labour Council last night. The report expressed dissatisfaction with the existing position of apprentices in Now Zealand trades. True apprenticeship, it stated, bad become almost a thing of the past, and tho lads who wcro entering the trades at the present time wore not receiving adequate facilities for becoming skilled craftsmen. In tiro course of a general discussion on the subject members of the council stated that Now Zealand at tho piesent time liad scarcely any efficient apprenticeship. The training of apprentices, for ono reason or another, was not undertaken by employers in tlio old way. The change was not in tlio interests of the rising generation of tradesmen.
Tlio feeling of the meeting was in favour of representations being made to the. Government on tho subject, with tha object of securing for the boys tlio "opportunity to acquiro tho technical education that thoy do not seem able to get under apprenticeship."
