insure great foreign trade.
Government tests confirm our
claim that the coal of this sec
ton is unsurpassed for the pro.
duction of steam, gas and by
products. Its coke is without
superior for use in the manufac-
ture of steel, and hundreds of
care of coal for this purpose are
daily going north and west. So
important is this particular fea-
ture, that the United States Steel
Corporation has recently built
30 million dollar coal mining
town at Lynch, KY, just eight
miles from Big Stone Gap.
OF equal importance are the
many individual plants scatter
ed throughout our valleys, pro.
ducing the largest volume in the
state of coal for domestic and
commercial markets. These
plants evidence the virility and
industry of our citizens, who
claim also the unusual distinc-
ton of producing all this volume
of coal without the friction and
strife so prevalent in other see
tions.
Great water powers surround
us, and by recent inventions
power can be made chcaply avail
able ut the mines mouth, max
ing ideal conditions for various
industries.
The Taubcl Scott Kltzmiller
Hosiery Mill is the latest acuui-
sition. This is one of long
string of mills owned by this
company which is operating un-
der capital of S0,000,O00. An
iron furnace is located ut the
edge of town, capable Of utiliz.

which analyses the same ms the

lplant is located on the opposite
border, and our saw mills and

buildings and equipment which
it provides for school purposes.
Judged by such indications the
people of Big Stone Gap have
long been interested and enthus-
iastic supporters of the public
schools. More than twenty years
ago they erected "A modern school
building and established one of
the first high school departments
to he found in this section. The
original building was destroyed
by fire during the winter of 1904.
The next year a larger and bet
ter building was erected on the
ashes of the old. This building,
located on one of the most beau
tiful and convenient sites mag
Unable, has accommodated the
growing school population since
1905. 1t has fourteen large class
rooms, auditorium, principals
office and three basement rooms.
An excellent new heating system
has been installed and the build
ing thoroughly repaired and re-
painted. The building is equip
ped throughout with single desks,
slate blackboards, sanitary tot
let's, and drinking fountains. In
short, every provision has been
made to insure a suitable envir-
orment for the physical we'll
being and mental development
of the pupils.
However, owing to the rapid
increase in our enrolment, il be-
came evident two years ago that
additional room would have TO
be provided. After careful
survey of the situation the school
board proposed II bond issue for
the erection OF an additional
building. This building is now
being constructed near the pres
ent one. When completed, the
new structure will afford six class
rooms, study hall, four laboratory
rooms, principals office, library,
and teachers rest room. The
high school department will be
transferred to this new building
at the opening Of school next
September.

During the same period our high
school enrolment went from So
to l25, an increase of ~ per cent
i'll the two years. AS regards
enrolment and attendance our
school stands high when com
pared with the other schools of
the county. Following is II state
