YOUTH AND UNEMPLOYMENT
Sir. At first glance Mr. Lunnon’l suggestion seems a goo<l one but a .it’lo thought reveals difficulties. I’akc the case of the building trad© which is having a very “lean’’ time just now, and a firm already employ--1 ing indentured apprentices. These lads must, not only be kept employed, but must also be taught their trade, and in these dull times the employer is often at his wits end to know how to keep the lads employed. Frequently .jobs have to be “made” for them, • cleaning up, general repairs, messages - and general odd jobs not connected with their trade. When a job comes ia the lads are naturally put on to it, • sometimes alone and sometimes with • say one journeyman to two or three ap- ‘ prentices. Air. Lunnon's scheme in this instance would increase the cm--1 ployer’s difficulties, make, it harder still Io properly teach the apprentice© . 1 their trade and. in addition, lessens the y journeyman’s hopes of employment. The scheme would be an excellent • one. in cases where the employer fins no - apprentice at. present. Air. Lunnon deser\es thanks for endeavouring to find ’ a solution to a difficult problem. 1J “ FOREMAN.” J
