1t seems unnecessary to blame anybody.

Doubtless we are now over the pinch

MINERS SCHOOL OPENS.
CentraIia, Pa, School Gives Men Or
portunity for Expert Training.

mat a vast scheme Of education for
the anthracite mine workers of Penn
sylvana will eventually be put into
operation, is made certain by plans for
the opening of a miners school at Cen
tralia, Pa, today. Every worker in the
group of mines to which this school
ministers is invited to attend-foreman,
expert miners, laborers, doorboys driv-
ers. and all the rest.
The institution is conducted by the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company but it is
a matter of interest to all the compan-
les in the anthracite region. They arc
all intent on creating Il trained force
OF employees and many of them have
projected plans of their own 20 this
end
The Lehigh Valley has had school
of this kind at Lost Greek, near the
town Of Shenandoah, but it has been
regarded as an experiment. The man
agement has waited until now to de-
eide definitely that it's success war
rants the extension of the system.
The mine workers have proved eager
I to take advantage of the instruction.
The school operates in conjunction
with the regular anthracite mining
course of a large correspondence col
lege. A strict record of performance is
kept, and forwarded to the general
manager Of the company periodically.
These who do best in the school stand
the hest chance of promotion. other
things being equal.
The company school gives an oppor-
tunity for expert training to men ana
boys who could never afford to go to
an engineering college. There are
hundreds of mine workers who have
the ambition but not the means to get
thorough technical education. The
Centrala school, and other similar
schools to he established later, will re-
suit in advancing many of these am
bilious toilcrs to high positions in the
anthracite mines.

Monday evening although somewhat

ments by the bugle when to the right
are indicated by the ascending scale
