§ 205.

Apprentices.—

But apprenticeships constitute an exception to this general rule; the ground for the exception being the minority of the apprentice when he enters into service. His right to make a valid contract for apprenticeship constitutes a legal exception to his general disability, and is, therefore, subject to whatever regulations the State may see fit to impose. The immaturity of the apprentice places him on an unequal footing with his master, and he deserves and requires the protection of the law.
