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.
