Hsvery boy learned q trade thor
oughly the market would not be g3ntted
as at present with unskilled labor, and
there would not be 30 many young
men sitting around in Offices trying to
make themselves generally useful 1t q
to % q week, while they are learning
scarcely anything of actual business
and are on the road to nowhere in par
ticular. This Is the situaton, and Col.
Auchmuty, of the New York trade
school, described the remedy in an ex-
tremely interesting and valuable lecture
at the board of trade rooms Wednes-
day evening. The apprenticeship sys-
tenn has passed out OF vogue In the
United States, and the majority OF
skilled workmen are foreign born. A
young man nowadays must pick up his
trade, at best in slipshod manner, In
such a position as he can get. The
trade unions are hostile to the training
of apprentices; their policy II to cor
ner skilled labor.
The trade school Is the solution Of the
problem. The 2,500 young men who
have learned trades in Col. Auchmuty's
school have earned q. 50 to q per day
ON leaving, and testify that the school
has been the making Of them. Plaster
ers have gone right out and earned q
q day. Bright young men master the
course In plumbing In three months, in
some instances, and find work awaiting
them ON graduating. The work Of the
bficklayers who learn the trade theTe \
far superior to tho average CONTRACT
work. The old system Of training In
duces a boy to leave school to find EN-
ployment In q workshop.

him to remain at school, to 90 to col

A bill was introduced in the House
to raise tie school tax to 16a cents,
but was cut down TO IA cents, and
in that shape passed. 1t remains to
be seen what the Senate will do with
the matter.

measure if it becomes a law will do
more to advertize the State, and to
attract capital here to develop our
resources than would an exhibit
at the Chicago Fair that would cost
five times the amount.
