APPRENTICESHIP QUESTION.
OPINION OF MR JUSTICE COOPER By T<»legraph—Press Association. Auckland, last night.
An important opinion on the apprenticeship question was expressed by MiJustice Cooper on behalf of the Arbitration Court. He pointed out that the system of indenturing boys to a trade was falling into disuse in America and in some other places, where they had splendidly equipped technical schools, in which a hoy could bo taught his trade quickly and thoroughly. In New Zealand there were no such schools, and it was in the interests of all concerned that a boy should bo taught his trade properly, and where an obligation on the master to teach, aud the obligation on the boy to stay at the trade were merely moral obligations, the Court considered that the only rosult would bo incompetent workmen, and therefore the Court considered it necessary to make provision for ensuring that tho boy would learn his trade thoroughly.
