JUVENILE WAR WORKERS. THE GRAVE SOCIAL EFFECTS OF HIGH WAGES.
With a
foreword by Dr. Addison, Minister of Reconstruction, an interest- ing booklet has just been issued by that department, entitled "Juvenile Employ- meut During the War and Alto." It has been prepared, Dr. Addison explains, "by a known authority on matters affect- The out ing juvenile duployment." standing feature of the report is the seri- ous effect of high wages derived from war-work on the young.
BEBIOUS RECOMMENDATIONS.
As regards the post-war aspect of the question the following recommendations, amongst others, are made:
With a view to checking the competi tion of boys and girls leaving school with those already in industry, and to securing as far as possible that the latter shall find employment
(a)-All by-lawa permitting exemption from school attendance below the age of 14 should be immediately suspended.
(b)--The provision in the Education Act, 1918 (Clause 10), relating to com- continuation attendance pulsory schools, should be put into operation at the earliest possible moment.
(c) The Board of Education should argo on all Local Education Authorities, as a temporary measure to use the power conferred by the new Educativa Act to raise the age of full-time attendance to 15, and to provide maintenance allow
ances
Maintenance grants should be provided for all young persons thrown out of em ployment, and provision made for the setting up of:

(a)-Centres for instruction creation of all unemployed young per

()-Residential camps.
It is further suggested that the War Office should secure priority of discharge for teachers.
INDUSTRIAL NOMADS. ́ ́
Of particular importance is the chap- ter on the effect of war employment upon the training and character of the young.
have The bigh wages in munition-making bare had, demoralizing results. There story of the lad carning 13s, a woek as a butcher boy who went to Woolwich in 1915 and immediately earned a week. He gave up that work on account of the travelling, and has been in and out of the Labour Exchange for several months because he would not work for less than he earned at Woolwich. The broad-re
sult of the employment of young persons in munitions works has been a movement from trades offering low earnings and some training to trades odering relatively high earnings and no training. The boys tend, I futet, to be industrial nomads, and to shift from job to job, with a single eye to the wages immediate: ly obtainable.
Not only have high wages, it is further pointed out, broken the honds of appren ticeship and enticed many boys from good trades, but they have bred a contempt for and auspicion of apprenticeship which it will take many years to dispel.
The bad econanic consequences, how- ever, are only part of the problem, which
cannot be isolated from the effect of the accelerated maturity upon individus character and social habits. On the lat ter aspect of the question there is an illuminating passage, which says that too much stress need not be laid down upon
