Bray is a social reform treatise written in the early 20th century. This work explores the significant challenges facing youth employment and apprenticeship systems, particularly in light of the falling standards of boy labour during industrialization. Bray aims to address these issues by calling for a restructuring of apprenticeship systems to better support young workers and ensure their development into skilled adults. The opening of the volume sets the stage for an urgent discussion about the neglected status of boys transitioning from school to the workplace. Bray highlights the diminishing effectiveness of traditional apprenticeship and the rise of unregulated, unskilled labour among the youth. He emphasizes the crucial need for supervision, thorough training, and clear pathways to sustainable employment for boys, outlining the historical context of apprenticeship practices and the deficiencies of current systems. Importantly, he raises alarm over the societal consequences of failing to provide adequate support and guidance during this vulnerable phase in a boy's life, making a compelling case for urgent reforms.
