This generally mean that a boy began his periods of service at age 14, although there were some variations for different occupations. The apprentice served in the home of his master without receiving wages, learning his trade and in many cases performing all the duties of a household servant. The youth was completely responsible to his master, who was obligated to furnish him board and clothing and to give him such training in the trade as would make him a competent and an independent workman when his period of service was completed.32.
