APPRENTICES
Sir,—l noticed in your issue dated April 5 you say, in reference to the conference of employers-and workers re the apprentices, that the problem will not be solved until parents exercise foresight in tho selection of working careers of their children. I venture to say the real trouble lies with the employer refusing to recognise the ability of the lad who has had years of technical training. I had two lads attending the college until the age of eighteen years of age, and on seeking employment could not get a shilling advance in salfl rv over the lad from primary schools. Until employers are made by law to recognise the technical training of the lad by a fair remuneration for experience. gained the problem. will not be solved. Parents are not in a position ro stint their household requirements for the betterment of their children while the present attitude of the employers exist.—I am, etc.. PARENT. April 5.
