TIE modern course followed 10y

principles of Il trade has brought
about Il condition of affairs which is
at best unpleasant for Americans t.
contemplate. Under the old system
of apprenticeship boys were bound to
il business for such Il length of time,
that, unless they were OK raoldinarly
dull of conception. they could master
that business in all its details. But
in the United States there is pre-.
cocity among boys and young men,
either real or tancied, which tells
them that seven years, or even five,
is too long time To spend in learn
ing Il trade, and the desire to he i'm
dependent asserts itself. AS a cOnse
quence the American mechanics as Il
rule are not equal in skill to those
who have learned their trades under
the indenture laws of other countries,
and when the average Ameri.
can mechanic is thrown i'm cOmpeti-
ton with the foreign workmen the
result is unfavorable to him. Boys
and young men who may be learning
