FROM JOB TO JOB
IMMATURE GIRLS GUIDANCE OFFICER'S COMMENT (PA.) DUNEDIN, this day. Reporting that last year 20 Dunedin primary school girls went to work before completing the year in Standard VI., and 33 went direct to work from Standard V. and even lower classes, the vocational guidance officer commented on the tendency of such girls to drift from job to job because they entered positions unequipped, or before they were old enough to be fit to receive the halfyearly increase which present awards stipulated. The trouble in the latter case was that the girls were too immature to take senior work or assume more responsibility at the end of the period when wages were automatically increased.
