TWO:This failure of laws to regulate apprenticeship, which facts fully warrant us in assuming, is due in a large degree to the impossibility of applying general rules to special cases; it may be attributed to the same reasons which make it useless to fix values or the conditions of exchange by legislation. What is required is that the master, the apprentice, and the public should understand the true relations between themthe value of what is given and what is received on both sides. When this is understood, the whole matter will regulate itself without any interference on the part of the law.
