Near Perfection Apprentices
BERLIN, June 5.—(/P)—Young men

the shoemaker’s trade must be grad
uates of the public schools and pos
sess a report showing that they have
at least average ability. This is one
of the conditions for apprentices pre
scribed by the master shoemaker’s
association.

strate a deep interest in the trade

and live wires. The conditions em- j
phasize that lack of concentration,
inclination toward meloncholy and in
attentiveness will disqualify candi
dates.
