Boys Not L^'arning Trades The period ;'/ industrial prosperity now opening up is likely to find a jihortage «f Ki;illed mechanics, ac- cording to Clark Reilly, secretary of the Canadian .Vssociation of Build i;ig and Construction Industries, and the subject is to be given some dis- cussion at Ibj Association's convon- lion in Toronto this week. The pros- pective shortiige is not blamed whol-y on the ni'gntion of many skilled mechanics to the United States, but is due, rather, Mr. Reilly says, to the refusal of bovs to learn a trade. Op- portunities to immediately obtain a- dult pay for unskilled labor has blin- ded many boys to future ' possibili- ties. The old system of .Tpron- ticeship, under which the youth wa.s bound by his indentures to stay on a job long enough to learn a trade, had i<s merits. \ word of p:'ai8e for the special agricultural eno.iiry committee came on Thursday of last week, in the On- tai'io Legislature, from \. P. Me- whinney, (Lib. West Br;ice). •'! think the Committee has done good work,"' he said. "I believe the choice »f the chnirinan was n. wise one, for I think no man know.-? the conditions of agriculti^^e bot^ter than Hon. Dr. Jam- ieson, and I believe the farmers will reap benef't from the recommenda- tions made by the committee." BATES BURIAL CO.
