Out of the 450 boys and girls who left school at Easter only five boys were still registered for first employment on 13th July. That shows a pretty considerable success in placing. As to the future possibilities, some of the boys in the number that he mentioned have only just left the technical college and have registered immediately. A local engineering firm will probably be taking about 50 boys. We have had about 20 boys' vacancies notified since the figures were published, and, on the whole, the position in respect of girls is reasonably good. We are therefore justified in saying that the prospects are reasonable.
