What Can City Boys Do,

City boys get no chance at all in the
trades The argument of the unions
is that they are being constantly sub
jected to the pressure from the coun-
try, where the boys learn the trades
and then come to the city. But what
are our city boys to do? Shall they
all grow up to be cigarette-smoking
clerks and ioafers? l would like to
see some practical use made of the
manual training facilities In the
schools for which the city has put
out SO much money. Teach the boys
IN the schools the useful trades. We
can't all be clerks or bookkeepers or
lecturers. Some must work-Leslie's.
