NOTE ON CHOICE OF SUITABLE EMPLOYMENT COMMITTEES FOR JUVENILES. Local Committees in connection with the Employment Exchanges to assist Juveniles in the choice of suitable employment may be set up either under the Ministry of Labour or the Board of Education. These Committees are known respectively as Juvenile Advisory Committees and Juvenile Employment Committees, and the two types of Committees are distributed in about equal numbers through the country. The larger industrial towns have for the most part set up the latter Committees under the powers granted to Local Education Authorities by the Education Act, 1921, Section 107. The Unemployment Insurance Act, 1923, requires that those Local Education Authorities who desire to continue the exercise of their powers respecting choice of suitable employment should also undertake the administration of Unemployment Benefit to persons under 18 years of age and consequently all who are willing to do so have been asked by the Board of Education to submit fresh arrangements appropriate to the new conditions. These Juvenile Employment Committees are supplied by the Schools with information concerning the boys and girls who desire employment, including a report on the physical capacity of the candidate furnished by the School Medical Officer.
