The Decline of Apprenticeship.

The suffering during the present winter
among the English poor is said to be
more widespread and more difficult of
alienation than at any previous period
within the memory of elderly men. A
memorial addressed to British govern
ment officials by the Nottingham Cham
Der of Commerce attributes the distress
very largely to the decay of the appren-
ticeship system.
The memorial points out that formerly
children were taught few subjects in the
schools, but the boys received as appren-
tees in workshops and factories a sys-
tematic and thorough training, and could
always later on, and often did, supple
ment deficiencies of school learning: that
many successful and prosperous concerns
were started by intelligent workmen thus
trained; and that, in fact, the former
system of apprenticeship reared up that
race of splendid artisans and craftsmen
which laid the foundation of all the
great industries in Great Britain" Now
the memorial goes on TO point out, all is
altered for the worse. In few factories
and workshops boys are still taken as ap
prentices but even there employers are
hampered and INSTRUCTED by trades
union rules. AS a consequence, boys
who must work turn to any sort of odd
jobs, for small pay and with no hope or
incentive such as the former system held
out. When employed in factories, they
are usually confined to one tool. gaining
no general knowledge Of the trade and
eventually, when they would under the
old system be earning high wages, many
of them drift into the ranks of the unem-
ployed.
referring to the good results of APP
premiership as illustrated in other coun-
tries, the memorial cites the system pre-
vailing in an American establishment. the
tool factory of Brown & Sharpe, Of
Providence Rhode Island, where APP
prentices are carried through all the dir
ferent departments of the factory, and
provided with instructors who drill them
in the theory as well as the tech
ME of their work. This system is ad-
vantageous not only by reason IF
what it does for the character and ca
pacity Of the workman, but also because
of the benefit which it cOnfers upon the
employer. furnishing him with work
men of the very highest grade of skill.
whose output is incomparably superior
to the best that average Workmen could
produce.
Much good from the standpoint Of the
workmgman. has resulted from the or
ganization of labor. but there are large
entries TO be made ON the debit side Of
the ledger as preliminary to balancing
the account In the United States rs
we'll as in Great Britain. labor unions are
responsible for the almost total eXtinc-
ton of the old apprenticeship system,
and for resultant loss to the brightest
element of the laboring class. How
long will it be before organized labor
realizes the harm done by 'leveling
down" and takes to ''leveling up" in
stead? When that day dawns it will he
rich with promise for men who work in
the trades as well as for those who con
duct the great industries and are con
cerned not only for profits, but also for
economic and material progress.

they hunted up the sexton and went
with him to the old parish church to
search for the burial record. He led
them into a small, dark room which was
without windows, and smelled as if it
had been closed for centuries When he
had lighted Pickering candle he pro-
ceeded to examine the piles of musty
leather bound and iron clasped books,
which reached almost TO the low cob
webby ceiling. At the end of a long
interval, during which the Underwoods
sat comfortably ON dusty boxes and
watched his every movement, the sexton
produced ponderous black volume. and
on a page colored by time, spelled out
tor them the Words ustaee Under
wood, born September 10, 1867 died
November s." but the year was entire
~ erased by age. Then followed a de-
scription from which they could find his
grave.
But no wife is mentioned?" Mrs. I'm
derwood inquired anxiously
None as | can see, ma'am,'' and dis
appointed, the family returned to their
hotel, too tired to seek the grave that
day
The next morning they started out
with fresh energy, and aided by the sex
ton, they soon found the desired place.
1t was small grave in an obscure cor
ner OF the cemetery, and kneeling before
the. gaunt, gray headstone Ruth read
the simple inscription, ''Eustace Under
wood, born September 10, 1667-died
November s, 1867, at the age of two
months" For fully three minutes they
looked at each other with Mortified and
chagrined faces, while Mr.. Talbot. the
sexton, smiled behind the cover of his
brown, honey hand. Then Dick broke
INTO great, hoarse laugh, which neither
his mothers severe glance nor Ruth's
icy remark, This is a cemetery Rich
ard could squelch; and all the way
home he and the cd sexton, shaking
with silent laughter, followed the other
three naughty figures.
The subject was everafter a forbidden
one, and no one dared to speak of what
happened in that cool, green cemetery,
but Mr.. Underwood quickly and uncere-
moniously fell out of the family tree.
