In Johnstown, Pennsylvania, a large steel manufac 
turing community in Western Pennsylvania, the im 
migrant church situation in 1909 is shown in the 
table on page 121. 
The same conditions relative to the character and 
membership of alien churches obtain in all sections of 
the country where recent immigrants have settled. In 
general, they have brought their church affiliations 
from their native lands, or, in other words, their na

recent immigrant in his new home. 
It will be noted in the statement for Johnstown, 
Pennsylvania, that parochial schools are affiliated with 
the immigrant churches. This is also typical of the 
general situation. These schools offer, as a rule, both 
secular and religious instruction. A foreign language
