Trades Unions and Apprentices. By EDWARD W. BEMIS. The proportion of raae unionists in the United States who attempt to restrict the number of apprentices is very small, less than 16 per cent o! the great body of organised labour; the proportion of those who succeed in the attempt is still smaller.

' Rational' should be substituted for ' natural' in law and in morahty, and education should be bnce more conducted with sincerity, the loss of which has mainly contributed to lower the national moral tone.
