Description:
At the time these contests were held I promised myself that some
time in the near future I would air my views concerning contests in
general and this one in particular, but upon mature reflection I decided
to wait until the smoke of battle had cleared, the wounded
fully recovered and the landscape once again serene.
Do State Contests Pay? personally, I think not. These contests
were originally gotten up as a publicity stunt to show the balance of
the state what the mining companies were doing. Again, they were
supposed to provide an incentive for the employees, so that they
would be eager to take the training.
As a publicity measure the three contests held have had little
value, for the reason that the average citizen considers it a corporation
matter, something in which he has no interest, and from which
neither he nor the state will derive any benefits. 10 p.
