The Mine Inspector'srecommendation : "Roof auil bone should be tested before entering,after shi()otiuig. F'oreiiiaii should hot leave working faces until allmen are ready to leave".

In the accident of iI arch 20th the deceased was attempting toprevent a haulage accident near I lie shaft la)ttom.

Tb is maii lost his 1 iIe at tempting to prevent an accident.The Imlsj)ectoc's lecommemida lion was as follows "\l anlioles shouldbe p1ovi(Ied at ;il I sw it cli throws".

The fatality of November 12th at No. 1 l me, Eckliart, Alleganv('onmitv, The ('oiiso!idated Fnel ('oinpanv. was due to a fall of rash-i ngs.

Conclusion

The school year jnst passed showed considerable improvement inthe enrollment in the Night Mining Classes, over that of the previousyear. The weekly attendance average was also higher as comparedto that of the previous year.

The Short Conrse, however, showed a marked decline in attend-ance, over that of previous years.

With the retnrn of a large number of ex-Service men to the miningindustry during the past year, it is hoped that the enrollment antiattendance of the classes will show a substantial improvement inthe forthcoming school year.

The spirit of cooperation between the employers and employeesin support of the classes continued to he manifested in a markeddegree.
