Fifty Years Ago by John Slee
Fifty years ago it was possible for a boy to leave school as soon as he could pass what was called the Labour Certificate. By this means often the most capable boys in the school were allowed to finish their education at thirteen and go out to work.
In this talk John Slee , who passed his Labour Certificate when he was thirteen, in 1910, tells how a poor family like his benefited by this arrangement, although he himself had set his heart on a scholarship.
