The creation of high-\ngrade productive enterprises\nwhich pay good wages nnd demand efficient workers call for\nthe training of large masses such\nas the public schools alone can\nreach. ,\nTo complete the scheme of vocational training industrial bureaus have been established, with\ndirectors and vocational advisors\nin charge. Here is the centre of\ninformation on trade and commerce. The record cards for each\nboy and girl goes to the bureau.\nOn that card is tabulated the\nqualities and aptitude of the person; what trade thc person wishes\nto work at, and what trade they\nseem specially fitted for.\nEmployers pf labour are in\ntouch with this department, and\nthe director undertakes the work\nof introducing as many boys and\ngirls to the work of their choice\nas it is possible to do.\nMoreover, they learn full particulars of each trade before they\ngo, and each workshop and factory is carefully inspected.\nWhere the work and conditions\nare poor and not favourable, the\nyoung people are warned. The\nyouthful though expensively\ntrained products of the day school\nare not allowed to run amuck and\nget into the hands of unscrupulous people who take advantage\nof their fellowmen in order to\ngain profits. Thus a haphazard\nsystem has given way tc a well-\n[ organized course, which is without doubt working out in a most\nsuccessful manner.\n[To be continued in next week's issue]\nThe Ideal Store\nSPECIALS:\nChildren's Rompers, Wash Blouses and\nSuits, Dresses, Cashmere Coats, Ladies'\nWaists, Nightgowns, Underskirts,\nCombinations, Corset Covers,\nAprons, and House Dress es\nThe Ideal Store\nDunsmuir Avenue.\nPhone 72.\naw***** %********%********%* *\nCHARLES G.
