The present school consists of five buildings—a large
main building, kindergarten, industrial building, gymnasium,
and power house and laundry. The school will accommodate
140 pupils, and its aim is to provide a practical education for
all. The literary department follows as closely as possible
the courses of the elementary and high schools, supplemented
by musical and commercial courses, while the industrial
department seeks to give to every pupil some trade or occu-
pation which will aid him in earning a living. In addition
to this, much attention is given to physical training, and
daily instruction is given along this line, including swimming,
the purpose being to develop normal activity as much as
possible. Many graduates of the school have found it pos-
sible to enter schools of higher learning, such as the Margaret
Morrison School, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Uni-
versity of Pittsburgh, Temple University, and others,
where they have made creditable records for themselves.
Many of these handicapped boys and girls, aided by the
assurance that a self-supporting ability gives, are enabled to
achieve success in many lines of endeavor and to become
useful and inspiring members of society.
