Title:: Parish Schools of the diocese of Pittsburgh

Collection:: Economics Books

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.
