TECHNICAL APPRENTICES.
To force employers to disorganise their work, to lose valuable time, for the purpose of carrying out educiti ;n-----al experiments in which they may not wish to indulge, merely to satisfy the convictions of Mr. George George and his colleagues, would be a form of tyranny that everybody would have gWI reason for resisting and resenting. As to the further suggestion that the employers should be enforced to pay their apprentices’ college fees, and should even be. constrained by law to act as truant inspectors and to convoy laggards and defaulters to the stlu ols, this seems to us to add insult to injury in such an olfensive way that it is difficult to take it seriously. But it is at least highly significant of the length to which enthusiasts of Mr. George ‘George's type will go if they, are i vi -restrained, and it should warn us of the necessity for taking due precautions against the excesses and exaggerations to which the advocates of technical education seem particularly liable in this country just now.-—" Auckland >Star.”
