enrollment of the parish schools was 83,665 pupils, of which 
the average daily attendance was 91 per cent. These schools 
had a teaching corps of 1494 sisters, 11 brothers and 134 
lay teachers. In addition to the regular staff, the various 
elementary and high schools employed 47 special teachers 
in art, music, physical training, public speaking, modern 
languages and domestic science. To this number should be 
added the community supervisors and the normal school 
instructors in the various mother houses. Approximately 
60 sisters are included in these two groups, which brings the 
total of the parish school teaching and supervision staff to 
about 1750 members. 
Among the schools recently erected are the boys’ Catholic 
High School, Fifth avenue and Clyde street; the St. Joseph 
School, Everson; Holy Trinity School, Duquesne; St. Mary's 
School, Pine Creek; St. Mathias School, Natrona, and St. 
Brendan School, Braddock. 
CARNEGIE INSTITUTE 
Visitors to Pittsburgh invariably have an opportunity 
to see the many evidences of its industrial prowess. They 
observe the coal barges, which are either moored to the banks 
of the two rivers or are being towed down the Ohio. By 
night they can not fail to see the sky aglow with red from 
the furnaces of the mills. If they visit some of these plants, 
they are impressed with the power of what are termed the 
basic industries, and they come to realize the important place 
Pittsburgh holds in the industrial life of the nation. 
Unfortunately, not all the visitors have an opportunity 
to study the cultural development of the community which 
centers in and about the Carnegie Institute. Those who 
spend even an hour within the great Renaissance building 
at the entrance to Schenley Park carry away with them 
some idea of Pittsburgh as a center for the arts and sciences. 
The Carnegie Institute almost equals the record of hotels 
in keeping opén house for visitors. It is open on week-days 
from ten in the morning until ten in the evening, and on 
Sundays from 2 P.M. until 6 P.M. It is closed only on 
Christmas, Memorial Day and Independence Day.
