Among the proposals to discover the aptitude of youths who are unable to find employment in the cities is a scheme to establish in the Auckland district a training centre for those between the ages of 16 and 21 who are keen to take up rural occupations (says the Star). One of the main features of the scheme is a month’s camp for hoys who have no knowledge o£> farming, and it is suggested that, if the movement were extended to the other centres of population, about 500 boys could be dealt with at the same time in such camps.
