YOUTHS IN TRADES
ENGINEERING POPULAR TRAINING APPRENTICES The engineering trades are easily the most popular among youths to-day and attract at least a quarter of the total apprentices, said Mr H. G. Dorrington, vocational guidance officer at Auckland. If the allied trades of boilermaking, motor engineering and tinsmithing were included, the boys in training were 40 per cent of the total Auckland apprentices. Carpentry and joinery, coachbuilding and cabinetmaking represented only 20 per cent. Few youths were apprenticed to-day in bricklaying, painting, plastering or plumbing, he said. Parents were of the opinion that less skill would be required in the woods trades in future, because of mass production and prefabrication.
