“If the members of the club will subscribe £75, enough to keep 25 boys' in camp for four weeks, and will then find them jobSj I will undertake to look after the other 25.” This offer was made by Mr W. A. Appleton in the course of an address on boy unemployment before the Wellington Rotary Cluby at Wellington recently. Mr Appleton had been relating the experience gained in the training camp of Welington boys at the Penrose Camp,last summer.

Everyone recognises that a boy has a right to. expect work and to fulfil his ambition and take his place worthily in the community, states' the annual report of the Wellington Employers’ Aaociation, in referring to the Serious problem of unemployed juvetiileß in New Zealand to-day. "According to tv recent estimate,” states the report, "there are approximately 20,000 workles-is youths in New Zealand. If these figures are correct, it is a very serious matter for the youths of this Dominion and also a very difficult problem for the Government to face. The situation is an acute one, as there is the danger of serious deterioration in the moral fibre of boys leaving school and remaining unemployed for an indefinite period, so that they become work-shy or unemployable. Tlie present state of affairs is detrimental to the interests of the boys and must tend to destroy ambition and one of .the essential features in the formation of a strong and noble character, namely, the feeling of self-reliance.
