PLUMBERS' EXAMINATIONS.

TO THE EDITOK. Sir, —I read with interest the letter by ‘‘ Shavehook ” in your paper, in which he writes that apprentices should do more practice at home and at the stiop, but 1 would like to know if “ Shavehook ” has ever clone this. i consider that it a hoy does his eight hours’ work per day and four hours per week at tho Technical School he is doing enough. A boy wants a little amusement when he has finished work, it every apprentice put in four hours per week at the Technical School perhaps there would not he so many failures, but the majority go there for about two months before the examination comes off. If the employers paid the Technical School hoys a little more money they would soon find that the classes would be filled up, and that there would not be perhaps so many failures. I consider that a. new schedule of work should be drawn up covering a wider field, and done by the most up-to-date methods. If things were carried out in the right way the examination results might be different from what they are now.—l am. etc., Fed Lr. August 13.
