PARENT’S COMPLAINT
Why is it that large numbers of parents of public-school boys, and also of young men just down from the universities, find it almost impossible to obtain employment for their sons in the business world? asks the Daily Mail.
The question is put by a- correspondent, who declares that in the last week he has been approached by the 'varents or no fewer than eight such hoys, who asked bun to help to find them jobs. He writes:— All these hoys are excellent fellows—keen, intelligent youngsters of splendid character —whom one would think any head ol a great; business would he only too glad to have as recruits. Yet their parents toil me they have almost despaired «»f finding them employment. One although lie has a little capital, has been idle for nearly two ■rears. Others have been .searching for jobs for from 6 to 18 months. I know that the parents of some of these lads have ap-proached one or two great firms whose heads have frequently bewailed in print the lack of promising recruits for their organisations, but as a rule without so much as securing ijn interview.
