mankind in its upward struggles; to ennoble and adorn life’s work, however humble, these are woman’s high preroga- ives.”” Instruction in this college is in many subjects modi- Ged from the traditional methods, in order to emphasize laboratory, studio and field work and to combine the train- ng of mind and hand: Extensive laboratory equipment is provided for this purpose and frequent use is made of the opportunities offered by the city environment for bringing the students in contact with large scale operations, industrial or professional. The division of general studies gives instruction in the academic branches in all the colleges. In none of the phases of activity of this group of colleges is there ever absent a constant stimulating reaction from the Pittsburgh district as a dynamic background. Each year a large number of leading scientists, engineers, specialists, and executives from Pittsburgh companies give lectures in the class-rooms of the various colleges. As a part of its contribu- tion to the community the Carnegie Institute of Technology shares with the people of Pittsburgh the lecture courses by eminent physicists, chemists and other scholars which are arranged yearly for its faculty and students, and members of the faculty act as consultants and work out problems for the industrial plants in the institute laboratories. MR. CARNEGIE INTERESTED IN NIGHT SCHOOL The night school, a phase of education in which Mr. Carnegie was deeply interested, has an enrollment of over 3800. Most of these students work during the day in the ndustrial plants of Pittsburgh, over 1,200 firms being repre- sented this year. The day school has become international in its appeal, students being registered this year from China, Japan, Egypt, South Africa, India, Palestine, Canada, South America and many of the countries of Europe. The enrollment exceeds 2.400, which, with the night and part-time students, gives a total of 6,757.
