Miners Hear Talk On
Strip Mine Problems

An illustrated talk on strip min
ing operations in Illinois was given
before 100 or more members of the
night mining classes of Garrett
| county who held their oath annual
banquet at the Willam-James hotel,
Oakland last Saturday evening
The talk was given by James w.
Bristow, secretary of the
Illinois Coal Shippers association of
Chicago. His slides and talk indicated
that on most of the land which had
been stripped, there was a possibility
of new pasture and forest areas, but
| cooperation of state agencies was
needed for testing of soil, etc
He pointed out that there were 63
J stripping operations in that state and
in many cases there were various
types of acids to deal with in the soil
which had to be overcome before
vegetation would grow

ZION EXCHANGE HEARS
ABOUT SCHOOLS

Frank Scaccia, physical edu-
cation director in our Zion
Grade Schools, told Exchang-
ties some Of the history of body
development as part of the
educational systems of yester-
day and today. He said early
schools emphasized cultiva-
ton of the mind only but grad
ually more thought and en-
deavor had been given to ply
steal fitness as an aid and i'm
plement of wisdom. Under
trained supervision, children
today are schooled for devel-
opment of bodily strength,
endurance, agility and pos
ture and are taught personal
cleanliness and hygiene. In ad-
dition, opportunities to per-
form for personal feats and
organized athletics create self
confidence, resourcefulness
and social acceptance for the
participants. Now, in 1914, it
has become State law that all
children of grade school age
be required to take regular in
structions in physical educa-
ton. Zion schools give 20 min
utes of training three times a
week to children below the
fifth grade and 40 minutes
twice a week to those in the
fifth and higher grades in or
der to build superior fitness
and coordination of body and
muscle among the youth-the
coming generation of our town.
In Exchange, the week be-
fore, Harley Mccormack dem
onstrated with the aid of spe-
cial optical equipment, various
tests and peculiarities of sight.
One watching, except for the
stature of the performers,
might have thought Frank
Scaccia was putting one of his
gym classes through the daily
routine.
