P1A Of District
Urges Modern
School Methods
23 Resolutions Voted

Elections Tonight

Modern education measures, IN

by 500 District parents and
teachers.
One up-to-date recommends
ton would allow parents to give
advice on curriculum reviSions.
At its final business session the
District Congress Of Parents and
Teachers adopted % resolutions
which followed closely action
taken at the 1949 convention.
The congress, meeting in the
Departmental Auditorium, backed
broadened use of social hygiene,
facts and philosophy in District
schools. Such instruction, the
organization said, should be in
tegrated as a logical part of the
curriculum-and not set apart as
an end in itself.
Scientific Foundation.
The resolutions stated that the
''home should be the logical place
for dealing with the more intimate
aspects of the subject that
the church should help In the
moral aspects and that the
school lay the scientific founda-
ton"
The subject would be studied in
elementary. science. health, physi-
cal education, biology and home
economics classes.
Other congress action favored:
Increased Federal appropria-
tions to the District.
An adequate recreation pro-
gram for all children and equal
educational opportunities, par
ticularly for children at the Re-
ceiving Home and the Industrial
Home School.
Extension of public mental hy-
eiene services to children and
parents.
McGrath to Speak.
The Congress urged improve
ments in quality of entertainment
films as we'll as television pro-
grams, and stated again that OBJ
1ectionable comics must go.
The group urged school au-
thorities to eliminate as rapidly
as possible part time classes; to
reduce class sizes; to work with
Congress to get necessary school
buildings and facilities; to set up
q centrally managed lunchroom
program in elementary schools; to
enrich its visual education oppor-

cation, including driver training.
Five officers, including three
vice presidents and a recording

high price for industrial Goals
The electric light plants and other
big producers of steam for power
have the oil spigot right in their
plants. For instance. the Potomac
Electric Power Co. in Washington
was using oil in it's Benning plant
until two weeks ago; then it went
back to coal because there was a
slight increase in the price of oil
This brings about situation in
which the only survivors in the
Atlantic coal fields can be the
lowest-cost producers among the
mines-the ones with the thickest
seams and the most modern ma
chinery-or the small drift mines
where the seam is open and the
coal easy to get at.
Other Areas Affected.
Maryland is not the only section
affected. The movement of coal
from the Southern Appalachian
field (part of Kentucky, Southern
West Virginia, Tennessee and
Virginia) to Norfolk and thence
by collier to Boston, has been
reduced.
Maryland's position in the coal
industry is becoming largely his
toric. The Georges Creek field
near Frostburg in Allegheny
County, is considered to be the
Oldest bituminous field in the
country. There was a mine oper-
ating there in 1852. Early in this
century Maryland's. coal produc-
ton was about 6 million tons q
year. and the State had about
5000 miners. 1t went down close
to the million mark between the
wars, and was increased to 2 mil
lion tons during World War II
Now it is less than a million tons
year, with only about 2,00C
miners, and most of them are idle

We leave Thomas and 60 to the
Vendix mine in Maryland, just
northwest of the Potomac. We
enter and see where several
seams have been opened and dug
out. Great black piles of COB. OF
coal dust, remain at each aban-

the slopes there has been a great
deal of strip mining. The residue
of mud and rock makes big

No, I haven't. And my guess
