(by Telegraph—ter tress Association,
WELLINGTON, May 10,
The question of juvenile, unemployment wa,s raised at the annual meeting of the Technical Teachers’ Association to-day. The Chairman, Mr Hancox, said the depression way a passing phase, but unless an endeavour was made to cope with juvenile training and the employment problem, it would mean that many young people would only have before them, entrance to the rank of unskilled labour. They deserved a better opportunity than that. Mr H. A. Jones (Auckland) referred' to the serious deterioration of the moral fibre of the young people of the country. Owing to the existing economic conditions, many boys, he said, became workshy and even unemployable.
The following Wellington remit was adopted—That the executive approach the Government to formulate a scheme to find employment for young people who have, definitely left school and are out of employment.
A committee was appointed to draw up a scheme to find employment for young people, and report to the executive, before the conclusion of the conference.
