German Clerks in Melbourne.
Tjjkrk is some grumbling about the large number of young Germans working their way as clerks in Melbourne. Although some ot them are not altogether perfect in the language they get, ahead rapidly. This phenomenon has been observed in London for some years, but, comparatively speaking, it is only of late that the young Germans have been so noticeable in Melbourne. Employers say that the Melbourne youths have their heads too full of racing, cricket and iootball. A young man looks on , bu&inesa art a bore. He only gives the fag-end of his mind to it. Consequently he falls behind, in that regard. On 'tho other hand the foreigners don't care twopence about all our racing, cricket and football. They are assiduous in business, and save money. ,
