Balm WILL SURVEY
ARGENTINE MINERALS
Experts to Study Possibility Of De.
veloping Iron and Steel
Industry.

Headed by DIR. H. Foster Balm, di-
rector Of the Bureau Of Mines. a party
Of three mining experts will sail from
the United States on the vessel Amer
lean Legion November 20 for Argen-
tina. where they will make an ex-
tended study of the possibility Of de-
velopment of the iron and steel in
dustry. They go at the request OF
the Argentine government and will
be on leave Of absence from the Bu-
reau of Mines until they return in the
Spring. The trip will cover four or
Ave months, according to DR.. Balm.
E. B. Swanson. assistant to the di-
rector and c: e. Williams superintend-
ent Of the Bureau OF Mines experiment
station at Seattle, Wash, will accom-
pany DR.. Balm. Mr.. Williams has
done work in Washington similar to
that to be done in the Argentine.
Surveys of the available deposits of
iron within the boundaries Of Argen-
tina, DR.. Balm said, show that while
the deposits do not rank with those
in the United States, they probably
will be found ample to take care Of
the needs Of Argentina The country.
DR.. Balm said, Is almost wholly agri-
cultural. and its industrial possibil-
tiles are. as yet undeveloped. For
this reason, he said. he has been
asked by the Argentine government
to make the survey.

observance of American education
week in Washington. The Bancroft
School at Eighteenth and Newton
streets, will be dedicated on November
21. The Jefferson, at Sixth and Vir-
ginia avenue southwest, will be dedi-
Gated the day previous.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superinten-
dent of schools, also has appointed six
committees of school officers to pre-
pare statements which will be issued
to the press during the education
week.
The committees follow:
Constitution day-George J. Jones,
DR.. Elmer S. Newton and Miss Otelia
Cromwell; patriotism day-Miss Eliza

ton day-Dr. Rebecca Stoneroad, Miss
Anita J. Turner, DR.. G. II. White and
f. c. Henderson. and community day
Mrs. Cecil Norton Sisson, Charles Hart
and Walter l.. Smith.
In a letter to the members of the
committees br. bdllOu SdlO IL lS my
desire that the statements to be pre-
pared shall give the public a definite
view of what is being. done in the
schools of Washington for instruction
and training on the subjects listed.
The statement concerning school
and teacher day might appropriately
include some information concerning
our parent-teacher organizations. The
statement on community day may ap-
propriately include some reference to
the plan of the board of education
to secure cooperation and assistance
of citizens associations in the forma-
tion Of it's plans for school improve
ment, The statement on Constitution
day should cover phases of the curri-
culm wherein the Constitution is
actually taught.
These are only suggestions. Each
committee is free to prepare infor-
nation in accordance with it's own
views.
