REGULATIONS ON THE INSTRUCTION FOR APPRENTICES. ARTICLE 1. The sons of our employés and workmen, who have reached the age of 13 years and have left the common school with a certificate of sufficient progress and good conduct, can be placed as apprentices at the manufactory. ART. 2. The purpose of this measure is to make able workmen and useful citizens of the boys, by practical and theoretical instruction; to make good and well-developed workmen for the manufactory. ART. 3. The apprentices are placed under the care and protection of all, and moreover each apprentice under the special care and guidance of one of the employés or workmen, whilst the head of the department "Interests of the employés and workmen" has the general superintendence of all the apprentices. ART. 4. In the work that the apprentices have to do their development will be more considered than the immediate interests of the manufactory. ART. 5. Every morning from 6.45 to 9 o'clock the apprentices receive theoretical teaching after a fixed table of instruction. ART. 6. As a partial providing in their wants, the parents of the apprentices receive for a lad of thirteen years of age, 10d. to 18. 8d. a week; fourteen years, 18. 3d. to 38. 4d.; fifteen years, 38. 4d. to 58.; sixteen years, 58. to 68. 8d.; seventeen years, 68. 8d. to 88. 4d., of which amount 10 per cent. is paid to the apprentices as pocket money. ART. 7. As soon as they have reached the age of seventeen years the apprenticeship is considered as finished. After a well-passed examination the apprentices receive a certificate of well-finished apprenticeship. After that, and even before that time, when necessary, to complete their education and development places are sought for the apprentices in workshops or manufactories, where they can practice the handicraft they have chosen. After having worked for at least two years with others and having conducted themselves well, they may get in their department an employment at our manufactory, if vacancies permit. RESULTS. Specimens of carpentry, blacksmith's and coppersmith's work made by the apprentices, together with specimens of practical manual labor, as taught at the school of the manufactory, and made by the children there and at home, may be seen at the exhibition.
