Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to furnish a concise and interesting account of the schools established and conducted by the Sisters of Humility in Iowa, where this community has labored for over fifty years. An earnest effort has been made to be as accurate as possible in tracing the history of these schools, both public and parochial, from their poor beginnings through their gradual developments to the place they now hold among other schools of their kind in the state.|Previous to this time, no history of the schools of the Sisters of Humility has been published, so it supplies, in a certain sense, a long felt need.
