SHEARERS' CLASSES.
The movement im th© direction of establishing classes for learners of machine-shearing m connection with the Ma&terton Technical School is one which has much, to recommend it. Lt is, unhappily, a fact that New Zealand has to depend largely for its shearers upon Australia, and a considerable sum of money which, should be kept within our borders is taken every year to sister States. It is hard to believe that the young men of this country have not a desire to team shearing because it involves a certain, amount of hard work. There is not a form of employment in the Dominion ait which better wages can be earned than at shearing. And yet, the dearth of shearens as becoming quite a .serious matter. It is sincerely to be hoped that the movement now being made to recruit the ranks will be attended with success.
