 Favors High Schools
Hopes for Cooperation on Part of Laity Local Schools Highest in State; New Institution Here Doubtful

A check on the Catholic high school figures for the Hartford dio- cese, released yesterday by Rev. Aus tin Munich reveals the fact that the two local schools, Sacred Heart high school and Waterbury Catholic high, have more pupils registered than the combined total of the rest of the state Catholic high schools. The local total of 843, with 123 of these being from Sacred Heart, comprises more than one half the state total, which is 1927.
 Relevant to the number of pupils in the local schools is the item in the annual report related to need of more Catholic high schools in the state. It is pointed out that even though the secondary registra- ton went from 1882 in 1885 to 1927 in 1886 these figures were compiled in the fall of 1936). that 1t is re- grettable that 50 many of the thou sands of graduates of elementary parochial schools have no opportun- ity to continue their work in a Catholic atmosphere.
 Secondary Schools There are only 2,068. outside of Seminarians, who are registered in state Catholic secondary schools in the four year span.
 "It is true" the report states, that the cost of maintaining pri- vately financed system is 50 great that the desired aim of priests and educators in the church to carry on our own system into the secondary field is made seriously difficult due to the lack of funds"
