Description
A folder of lessons for miners used to teach by Thomas Edward Southern. He was originally from Derby where he started a mining school with his brother. The Universal Mining School was founded in 1883 and was the first correspondence mining school in the world. The idea had come to him when coaching colliers for their ticket in Aberdare, which qualified miners for a supervisory job. He soon moved to Cardiff where the school continued until the 1950s.
