IMPOSING ON THE YOUNG.
About the Metropolitan schools OF
fEcchnique-PrOmi Made to
punfIS and Never Kent.

Pupils and Never Kept.
No conscience is evinced, surely, by
those New Workers who run schools for
training young persons in practical callings
and get pupils by holding out promises OF
good employment, writes a veteran cores
pendent. Telegraphy, bookkeeping, draw
ing. stenography, and type-writing are tho
speciaties of these false pretenders. Cir
culars by the ton are mailed to all the ad-
dresses of boys and girls that can be found,
eXpatiatng on the excellent wages PAID
in one of the mentioned avOcations md
asserting, more or less explicitly, that
graduate Of this school is sure to get
position at once. In some cases the prom
Use is sQuarely made that berth shall be
provided That is n downright swindle.
Not one of the institutions has the means
of placing its graduates. Indeed, every
one of the fields in question is already
overcrowded, especially by girls: /
would not discourage any youth who is
ambitious to command Selfsupport, but
simply desire to warn him, or her, that
there isn't in New York technical
school possessing the facilities for putting
pupils into employment. and those who
promise to do so are frauds, every time.
Another fallacy of these institutions is the
imposition of a long and costly course OF
study. Take the typewriter as an exam-
pie. 1t is a machine for writing rapidly
by means of keys played much like those
OF piano. 1t has come into extensive use
in law offices and wherever else a great
deal of copying has to be done, All that
can possibly be taught about it can be
learned in single day. Practice Is re-
Quired in order to become rapid. Pro
tracted tuition is like taking long series
of lessons IN base ball or anything else in
which there is small theory and great
manual deyterity. Still / know of So
called schools in which pupils spend half
years time and $50 in money practicng
at a type writer, and most of the term the
pretended teacher is getting pay for the
work done by the dupe. Similar is the
deception practiced in the matter of dec
orative art The rage for painted dinner
cards, mantel lambrequins, plaques and
other ornamental things has been turned
to dishonest account. The pupils are
told that well remuneratcd employment
will follow a course of instruction, and
the usual semblance Of guarantee is
given AS soon as the student becomes ut
all proficient the product of her skill is
sold hut on being graduated she is left to
shift for herself
