some Pertinent Remarks ON DimIn-
Ished Number of Trade
Apprentices.

Nowadays 1t is almost impossible to find
boys who viii serve an apprenticeship in a
printing shop. although II is a better busi-
ness now than It ever was before. for the
very reason that SO few are learning IT,
A thoroughly competent printer in these
stirring times can have his choice of
dozen good Jobs any day. The boy who
starts to learn the trade gets as much pay
in a week as the old apprentice did In a
month, and has various other advantages,
but he seldom sticks to it long enough to
learn the trade. In three o. four months
he thinks he should have charge of lino-
type machine or be appointed foreman. In
side of six months he comes to the conclu-
sion that printing is a poor business and
hell try something else.
Conditions are much the same in other
lines OF business that involve real work.
Nobody seems TO be learning the carpen-
ter's honorable trade. The blacksmith has
hard time finding a youthful helper who
will stay a week. The Macedonian cry OF
the farmers, who can't get help at any
price, is heard all the year round.
IL is no great mystery, however. The
boys are being diligently taught that they

work they are doing The printers APP

NEW YORK, Aug. 2e.-(Special to The

been an unusual number of such exchanges.
In London, for example. there are three

women preachers
The conference declared it's opinion that
cases in which 1t is desirable that women
should preach were exceptional. Where.
however, a woman possessed special gifts,
and gave evidence OF having received
divine call TO the work of preaching, liberty
should be given her for the exercise of her
gifts. but In AL such cases Inc preaching
