Reviving the Apprentice System.

The National Association of Mer-
chant Tailors of Great Britain has
taken the stand that the future of
their trade depends upon the revival
of the apprentice system. Encouraged
by their parents, boys will take posi-
ton as an errand boy, which probably
has no future, because the pay is
greater than for one who is learning
a trade, whereas the young man who
is equipped with a knowledge of a
trade will in the end receive greater
compensation, fact which is lost sight
of for the time. It is said that the
national supremacy of Great Britain's
clothing trade is suffering for the lack
of good tailors. With this in view it
has been agreed by the association to
establish fund from which grants
of sum equaling $3.50 will be made
to all young men who mastered the
trade and have passed workmanship
examination
