Six Million In Catholic Schools WASHINGTON (NC) The world's largest private school system becomes even larger this September when about 5,648,000 students are ex~ pected to enter U.S. Catholic Institutions. This will represent another record high enrollment for Catholic colleges and secondary and elementary schools. Last year, they listed 5,470,100 students on their rolls. Catholic grade and' hig-h schools have had 100 per cent increase in their enrollments since 1945, the year marked unofficIally by educators as the 1;>eginning of the current pupil boom. The strain this growth has pll;\ced on the facilities of many Catholic dioceses,' caught be~ tween larger numbers of pupils and fewer teachers, is indicated in .v-arious ways. In. Detroit, to help parents find room for their children, the Archdiocesan newspaper, the Michigan Catholic; published a list of schools with some vacant seats. In St. Louis, two new parishes will be founded without schools, the fil"st to do this in 30 years. ' In St. Paul and Cincinnati, some Catholic e 1 erne n tar y schools are opening without one or'more of the lower grades. 10 , Tum" to Page Eighteen
