seventeen thousand students enrolled in the night schools,
the vast majority of them come from the ranks of the adult
population of the city. Pittsburgh is spending about
$150,000 a year for this extension of its publie school work
to the adult population.
For housing the children of the public schools, there have
neen erected 145 school buildings, as follows: For the ele-
mentary children, 129 buildings; for the trade and vocational
schools, 8 buildings; and for the high school children, 13
ouildings. In this connection it should be noted that the
growth of high school enrollment in Pittsburgh in the past
lecade and a half is greater than that of any other city of its
size in the country. We have more than doubled the enrol-
ment in the past ten years in this department of the schools.
