We note with satisfaction that arrangements have been made by
the Mansion House Advisory Committee of Associa- tions for Boys by which boys from the organisations repre- sented by the Associations may be brought into touch with employers in London through the Labour Exchanges. The scheme should prove of great assistance in helping boys at that critical time of their career when they leave school and are apt, instead of choosing work which will support them in after life, to enter blind-alley employments. The Labour Exchanges have made arrangements to come into operation on January 1st by which lads seeking employment and recommended by one or other of the bodies which provide drill and moral and physical training for boys (including the Boy Scouts and the Federation of London Working Boys' Clubs) may present themselves at any of the London Exchanges and may register between twelve and two o'clock. The Lord Mayor is chairman of the Advisory Committee, Mr. Everard Ford deputy-chairman, and Colonel Campbell Hyslop organising secretary.
