EMPLOYMENT FOR BOYS
POSITION IN AUCKLAND PROSPECTS DEFINITELY BRIGHTER. (Special to Daily Times.) AUCKLAND, December, 13. An optimistic view of the opportunities for employment which await boys leaving school this year is taken by educationists and others in close touch with the boy employment question. While it is realised that boys must have capacities of their own if they are to secure a place in the labour market, it is agreed that the prospects at the close of the present school year, are orighter than they have been for a number of years. “ The position shows a decided improvement on recent years,” said the headmaster of one of the secondary schools. In the past term far more boys had left school to go to positions than had been the case in recent years, . and of the number who had left about 20 per cent, had gone to farms. The headmaster of another secondary school said that two-thirds of the boys who had left his school during the year had secured positions of a better standard than boys had been taking in past years. Formerly there had been_ a tendency to take blind-alley occupations for the sake of earning ready money, but this was much less evident to-day.
