BOYS AS APPRENTICES.
BETTER SCHEME ADVOCATED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn—Copyright. Received April 25, 5.5 P-m. Sydney, April 25. The Board of Trade has published a report on the apprenticeship scheme, which aims at bridging the gulf between the age of fourteen and manhood, while at the same time steering clear of dead-end occupations. The report recommends the abolition of arbitrary rules specifying the number of apprentices to be allowed, the compulsory continuance of education until the age of eighteen, a uniform wage (bearing in mind the cost of the sustenance of an apprentice), and meanwhile reducing many of the extravagant minimum rates prescribed in industrial agreements. Provision is recommended for apprentices of any age. It also suggests that tribunals he established whose purpose shall be to determine the aptitude of youngsters leaving school.—Aus.-N.Z.
