NEW CHANCES FOR BOYS
RUSH FOR AIRCRAFT WORK.
Schoolmasters in the Old Country state that, among boys of U who aro leaving school and wish to learn trades, there is a marked preference for aircraft and motor-car engineering. "Unquestionably boys aro showing great keenness to enter theso trades," said | an authprity recently. "Firms are receiving an unprecedented number of applications, and several havo started schemes for giving promising boys a technical training.
"Hitherto it has been only by paying large fees or getting special recommendations that this has been possible. Working-class hoys have had recently opportunities to which I liny have done full justice. Their chance has come, particularly as students at engineering schools do not as a rule begin their technical education course until they are 17 on 18, by which linio they are now called up for military I raining."
