PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF PITTSBURGH
Pittsburgh is very proud of its public school system, which

The total number of children enrolled last year was
105,409 in the public day schools, and 17,876 in the evening
schools, making a grand total of 123,285.

the State to apply on the salaries of teachers. The balance
of the teachers’ salaries is paid through revenues derived
from local taxation.
To teach the students enrolled in the evening schools has
required the services of 580 teachers. A part of the salaries

two hundred days, actual schooling, five days each week.
