No "Army of Unemployed.
According to n report OF the Prussian
labor bureau. there is no out-of-work
problem in Prussia. On the contrary, It
is Impossible TO supply the demand for
workmen. In 1909 the men registered for
employment at the various labor bureaus
was 6S7.924. the number of men asked
for by employers was l,l02.7u and the
bureaus found places for $40. .499. This is
certainly pretty good showing. An in
teresttng feature Of the labor situation
In Germany Is the apprenticeship bureau
In connection with the Strasburg labor

The chief points TO be noted In the

In every municipal school the teachers
have the duty assigned TO them of hav

they attain their ma jority.
