Applicant Come From All Over Uie World Nine Thousnnd Applicants for the Two Tlumsniid Scholarships Has nn Endowment of $12,000, 000. Xlne thousand applicants for about 1000 scholarships this remarkable condition will mark the opening, on October 16, of the Carnegie Techni cal Schools In Pittsburg. These applications have come from all over the world. Those from the United States lead, numerically, with France, Germany and Russia follow ing closely. Even 20 Filipinos desire to take courses. Every civilized country on the face of the globe has Its applicants. While at the start only 2000 pupils can be accommodated at the schools, this number will eventually reach S000. All that Is required of an ap plicant Is that he or she shall speak English, deposit a tuition fee of (20 a year and demonstrate a desire to learn. No limit has been set to the extent of this benefaction of Andrew Car negie, which starts with an endow ment of J12.000.000. And no matter what a pupil desires to learn, he or she will be taught that branch. If no professor on the roll is capable of teaching a desired study, one will be secured for the work, no matter at what cost or whence secured. The scope of the institute is to be absolutely without limit, and. even at the outset, the courses shall em brace almost every known calling. Rush for admission to the Carnegie Technical schools began almost as soon as the nature and extent of the steel king's new educational enter prise were announced. Knowledge of the opportunities to be afforded seems to have sped around the earth. At any rate, ap plications for membership have pour ed in from all quarters of the globe. A number of the applicants over looked the first requisite ability to read and write the English language. Lack of this requisite Is practically the only thing that can bar out an applicant, as the insignificant tuition fee of $20 a year is not apt to deter one who is determined to secure a technical education. The aspirant who determines to take advantage of the opportunity will raise this amount, somehow. And It is Just this pushing, determined man or woman that Mr. Carnegie wishes to help. Twenty dollars a year from each duuII will not prove a material ad- vantaee to the institution. Students mleht as well be admitted free. But the founder of the school Is a decided believer In the efficacy of the doc trine of self-help. He wishes to help only those who manifest a determin ation to help themselves. Hence the tuition fee. While the number of students must necessarily be restricted, courses Instruction will not be limited. Anion's- the various things that will be taught at the outset are structural steel construction, electro-chemistry, mining practice, railroad practice. applied electricity, steel manufacture, rlav working and making of cera mics, glass manufacture, foundry work, forging, blacksmithlng, carpen trv. cabinet making, electrotyping and stereotyping. electrical wiring. house, sign and fresco painting, steam, gas and hct water fitting, ma-r-hine fnrrinK. masonry and brick work, printing, steam engineering, moulding, glass blowing nousse work. and Women will be taught, among other things. professional housekeeping, dressmaking, costume designing, ste noirranhv and typewriting, the work of sectaries and librarians, leather and upholstery work, needle work ami i-ml-ie'il-ry miilin .: Jh- work of housemaids, laundresses, cooks and waiters. sventv courses in all will mark the start of this remarkable instltu tion. If, as stated in the beginning, any pupil desires Instruction in any other huainess. tirofession or avocation, he ' or she will be taught along the de sired lines. Should there be no pro fnssor on the regular staff capable of Imparting the Instruction, one will be secured especially for the benefit of the ambitious pupil or pupils. When in full operation the school will accommodate 3000 pupils, al though not over 2000 can be taken care of at the beginning, because of lack of room. During the entire ca rur nf he Institution, however, at absolute ban will be placed upon crowding the classes. Mr t'arneirle is of the onlnlon that students cannot learn well when too many are being taught at the same time. So it has been decided that no more than 20 persons shall consti- tut, n daKS- Taking this as a maximum, and If the classes are evenly divided, ion r.rnfHssora will be reaulred to teach the 3000 pupils when the school Is under way, not counting the heads nf the various departments and those who may be engaged for special lines of work. When the school Is finished as .innl now. there will be five build lugs: administration, school of ap plied science, school or apprentices. Journeymen and technical school for women, school of applied design and ,.( hililrilnflT. The administration building, of course, will be occupied by the office, etc., of the school, while the service building will house the power ma chlnery, etc. Th M,.h,,.,i win be opened on Oc tober 16 In the first of the buildings which is now nearlng completion, the school of applied science. Rome idea of the Immensity of this building may be had when it is stat ed that It is one mile around, lacking SO feet. All the buildings will be made into one group, so that they will be easy of access to one another, and will be so arranged that every room will be an "outside" room, thus giving all the light that could be asked for. The buildings will be within five minutes' walk of the Carnegie Insti tute, to which an addition Is now be ing built at a cost of 12,000,000. All will be in the same plot of ground, at the entrance to and adjoining Schcnley Park. In fact, the Carnegie Institute, with its great library, museum, art gallery, etc., will, in reality, be a part of the technical schools, although, separate from them. But they will be there for the use of students, the same as they are for the public In general. Night schools will be established with the opening of the coming term, and will be continued, ufter the schools are In full operation. An encouraging arrangement has entered Into by the management of these schools, whereby skilled labor ers, artisans, mechanics and profes sional pupils graduated from shall be taken care of In the business life for which they seek to perfect them selves. Many manufacturing concerns have agreed to take graduates from th various lines of technical study, and railroad men of influence have of fered to give other pupils opportu nities to prove that what they hav learned Is of value In the work-a-day world.
