NEGLECTED EMPLOYEES?

Per Press Association. Wellington, October 13. “If we are going to make smart shrewd and industrious workmen they must get their training in the Technical College, ’ L declared the Chairman of Canterbury College Governors, in the course of an interview with the Minister of Education to-day. He assurred the Minister that boys were not getting their training in the workshops. The men were not giving it to them, and as an employer of labour he could say that the masters should do more £q assist and educate their apprentices than they were doing, at present. “There is,” he added “a feeling going through the that we are paying a high rate for our labour and we are not going to waste our time instructing the hoys.” ' The Minister said he was sorry to hear that the masters carrying on industries in New Zealand were not giving their attention to those who wished to learn in their workshops because technical schools could not possibly, equip hoys properly as workmen. He sincerely hoped that what Mr Scott 'had said was not true of the whole of New Zealand.
