APPRENTICE AND MASTER.
Apprenticesbips Were an Important
Institution In France During Four
toenth Century. NY

Apprenticeship Were an Important
Institution in France During Four
tocnth Century. A
Apprenticeship was an important
Institution of France in the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries, and
was regulated with the utmost care,
as will be seen by the following ac-
count of "An Idler in Old France:"
By the rules of the book the master
was held responsible for his appren-
tice; and under a wise and kindly
roof, the lad who was learning to be
a master workman and a ruler in his
little world might lead a happy and
profitable life.
Often he did so, and when the day
came that he might claim his free
dom he chose to remain the paid
servant, friend and fellow worker of
the master who had sheltered him
from boyhood and taught him all
his craft, rather than to seek for
tune less assured elsewhere.
During the years of his apprentice
ship the patron, or master, was to
feed, clothe and shelter him, in the
holhtly WOIulHS VI bhc cloChhidhCI .
rule, to cherish him beneath his
roof, at his board, and by his
hearth" Nay, it was strictly enjoin-
ed upon the master to treat his ap-
prentice "as his own son." and in
some trades he was hidden to remem-
ber that his responsibility did not
end on the threshold of the work
shop, that the "soul and morals of
the little stranger had claims on his
solicitude.
In day when the streets of Paris
were more or less dangerous after
dark for everybody, the master was
instructed to be careful on what
errand he dispatched the youngster;
and the pastry-cook, whose apprent-
ices were often sent to cry cakes and
creams upon the public ways, were
continually warned to prevent the
lads from falling among evil COM
pany.
1t seems certain that, as far as the
Middle Ages are concerned, the rules,
precepts and admonitions we're not
only framed with good sense and
care, but were very rigidly enforced
upon all masters who had youths and
lads in their employ.
High and low in the society of that
day the rod and birch were flourish
ed with small discrimination and less
nicely; and If the tutors of little
princes had leave to whip them
freely, apprentices could not expect
