 Colonial, Taylor and Superior arcades, of which 

 the last named, with several tiers of stores and 

 offices arranged on both sides of a central 

 court, is the largest. Among the prominent

 Episcopal, Epworth Memorial, Calvary Pres- 

 byterian, East End Baptist and Euclid Avenue 

 Christian churches. The city has 389 places of

Institutions. Cleveland has numerous pub- 

 lic, technical, business, private and parochial 

 schools. It was one of the first cities of the 

 United States to establish a free high school. 

 For .those desiring more advanced learning 

 there are the University School, the Laurel and 

 the Hathaway-Brown schools and the Ursuline 

 Academy, but the chief seat of higher educa- 

 tion is Western Reserve University (which see), 



with its departments of Adelbert College, 

 Women's College and schools of medicine, law, 

 dentistry, pharmacy, journalism and domestic 

 science. There are also Saint Mary's Theo- 

 logical Seminary, Baldwin University, Cleve- 

 land College of Law, Cleveland Pulte Medical 

 College and other schools of medicine, law and 

 surgery. The public library contains 350,000 

 volumes, that of the Western Reserve Uni- 

 versity has 45,000 volumes, and there are med- 

 ical, law and historical libraries. Among the 

 benevolent institutions the Goodrich House, 

 a settlement with an $80,000 building, is of the 

 most recent organization. There are Roman 

 Catholic, Protestant and Je\vish orphanages, 

 homes and hospitals, and harbors for the in- 

 sane and other unfortunates. The Boys' Farm, 

 twenty-two miles from the city, is controlled 

 by the city and has a powerful influence for 

 good among the unmanageable boys sent from 

 the Juvenile Court. A commendable organiza- 

 tion in connection with the public schools is 

 the Mouth Hygiene Association, which has for 

 its object the correction of general mouth dis- 

 orders. 



Commerce and Industry. Through the Cuya- 

 hoga River the Ohio Canal connects the Ohio 

 River with Lake Erie, and affords Cleveland 

 commercial advantages greater than those of 

 any other city on this lake. To the sheltered 

 harbor provided by the mouth of the Cuyahoga 

 River has been added a ship-channel, and 

 further safety is secured by a breakwater two 

 miles long, one-half mile from the shore. The 

 lake traffic is very large. Cleveland is the near- 

 est large lake port to the great iron, coal and 

 petroleum region of Western Pennsylvania and 

 Northern Ohio, and has close connection with 

 the iron and copper-ore district of Lake Su- 

 perior. It is therefore the natural meeting 

 place for these products, which explains why 

 the city leads all others in the United States 

 in the production of steel ships, wire, wire nails, 

 bolts, nuts, heavy and light machinery, and a 

 great number of kindred industries. It ranks 

 first among the manufacturing cities of the 

 state, second among those of the Great Lakes 

 and fifth among those of the United States. 



The city is the greatest fresh-water fish 

 market in the country, one of the most im- 

 portant for grain, lumber and petroleum, and 

 is the center of the malleable-iron trade. In 

 the manufacture of women's outer garments it 

 is second only to New York, and it has a high 

 rank as a manufacturing center for gasoline 

 and electric-motor vehicles. The variety of
