"In my opinion the whole apprenticeship system needs revision," said Miss Jane Addams of Hull House. "The ordinary apprenticeship binding a boy to any trade for a number of years may prove detrimental, for what he might earn an honest living at today becomes obsolete before his contract is ended. While there might be trades where apprenticeships would be advisable, it would take a great deal of judgment in picking them out. I would not like to pass on the plan of the American Bridge company without first knowing about it."
