From the beginning of the

REPRESENTATIVE OF u. S.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
VISITS ZION

The interest of the local
Chamber of Commerce in edu-
cation in the Zion Community
was manifested again Thurs
day, January 20, when through
the efforts of President Glenn
Reinier and Secretary John
Luce, Spencer Shaw, Manager
of the West Central Division
of the United States Chamber
of Commerce, visited Zion to
discuss educational problems
with the officers of the Cham
Der, members of the Educa-
ton Committee, members of
the Boards of Education, P. T.
A. officers, and members and
leaders in education in Zion
and the surrounding area.
Mr.. Shaw illustrated his
comments with a series of
charts showing the results of
an independent study carried
on by the United States Cham
Der of Commerce. The charts
showed conclusively that
throughout the nation states
which consistently are the
states in which the retail sales
are the highest, therefore,
from purely business point
of view, adequate investment
in education pays dividends.
In addition, Mr.. Shaw point
ed out that adequate educa-
tional programs are required
if we are to be assured of an
intelligent citizenship which
is so necessary to the perpet-
uation of the American way
of life.
Mr.. Shaw's pleasing person
atty impressed his hearers
and his helpful suggestions
concerning the activities of the
Chamber and particularly the
education committee will be
very helpful in solving the edu-
cational problems of the Com
munity.
