THE  REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES, 

For  the  Fiscal  Year  ending  November  30th,  1880. 


During  the  period  included  in  this  report — the  fifth  year  of 
the  Museum  and  the  third  year  of  the  School — progress  has 
been  made  toward  effecting  the  purpose  for  which  the  corpora- 
tion was  formed.  This  purpose,  as  stated  in  the  charter,  "is  to 
establish  for  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  in  the  City  of  Philadel- 
phia, a  Museum  of  Art,  in  all  its  branches  and  technical  appli- 
cation, and  with  a  special  view  to  the  development  of  the  Art 
Industries  of  the  State,  to  provide  instruction  in  Drawing, 
Painting,  Modelling,  Designing,  et  cetera,  through  practical 
schools,  special  libraries,  lectures  and  otherwise.  The  Institu- 
tion to  be  similar  in  its  general  features  to  the  South  Kensington 
Museum  of  London."  The  progress  made  may  be  briefly  sum- 
marized as  follows  :  The  Museum  collections  have  been  added  to 
and  further  arranged,  and  the  School  has  been,  removed  to  more 
convenient  quarters  (1 709  Chestnut  Street),  and  placed  in  charge 
of  an  experienced  teacher  as  principal. 

At  the  time  the  change  in  the  location  and  discipline  of  the 
School  was  under  discussion,  the  question  was  raised  of  the  de- 
sirability of  endeavoring  to  unite  the  two  departments  of  the 
institution — the  Museum  and  the  School — under  one  roof  in  the 
central  portion  of  the  city.  It  was  conceded  that  there  would 
be  numerous  advantages  in  such  an  arrangement,  especially  an 
immediate  benefit  to  the  School.   But  your  Trustees  were  agreed,

regarding  the  institution  as  designed  to  become  to  Pennsylvania  and 
Philadelphia  what  South  Kensington  is  to  England  and  London, 
that  the  Museum  could  not  be  more  appropriately  or  advanta- 
geously placed  than  in  Memorial  Hall.  Furthermore,  the  possi- 
bility had  to  be  considered  of  experience  showing  that,  in  so  large  a 
city  as  this,  better  educational  results  might  be  had  from  several 
schools,  like  the  Chestnut  Street  School,  situated  in  widely-sepa- 
rated districts,  than  could  be  obtained  from  one  school  centrally 
located.  A  permanent  location  with  ample  accommodation  and 
provision  for  the  safety  of  the  collections  is  necessary  for  the 
Museum,  while  for  the  school  or  schools  accessibility  is  the  chief 
requisite.     Both  of  these  are  had  by  the  present  arrangement. 

In  the  spring,  Park  workmen  began  the  much-needed  repairs 
to  Memorial  Hall,  under  an  appropriation  from  Councils  for  that 
purpose.  The  work  was  continued  until  the  money  was  ex- 
hausted, but  so  much  remains  to  be  done  that  another  appropria- 
tion will  be  necessary  next  year.  If,  when  this  is  made,  a  sum 
is  added  for  the  maintenance  of  the  Hall,  the  institution  will  be 
relieved  of  a  burden  of  expense  that  has  seriously  hindered  its 
progress  and  you  will  be  enabled  to  open  the  Museum  free  to  the 
public* 

Reviewing  the  history  of  the  corporation  from  its  beginning, 
five  years  ago,  numerous  evidences  appear  to  show  that  the  most 
difficult  part  of  the  work  has  been  accomplished.  The  Museum 
has  been  established  and  the  School  begun,  and  both  brought  to 
a  high  degree  of  excellence,  during  a  period  of  financial  de- 
pression and  with  the  community  at  large  indifferent  of  their 
success.     Now,  with  returning  prosperity,  there  is  awakening 


*  Councils  passed  an  appropriation  "for  the  maintenance  and  repair  of 
Memorial  Hall,  ten  thousand  (10,000)  dollars.  Provided  that  only  five  thou- 
sand (5,000)  dollars  of  this  item  shall  be  expended  unless  said  Hall  be  thrown 
open  to  the  public."     It  was  so  opened,  beginning  January  1st.

an  interest  in  everything  pertaining  to  industrial  education — art 
and  technical.  Museums  and  art  schools  are  being  established 
in  the  principal  cities  of  the  east  and  west.*  Several  of  the 
great  manufacturing  interests  are  establishing  special  schools  for 
their  employes.  Drawing  is  beginning  to  be  generally  taught 
in  the  public  schools.  And  all  of  these  influences  are  so  favora- 
ble to  the  success  of  an  institution  of  this  character  that  your 
Trustees  recommend  the  present  as  an  opportune  time  to  enlist 
public  interest  in  this  institution,  believing  that  it  is  only  neces- 
sary to  make  its  scope  and  purpose  better  known  throughout  the 
city  and  State  to  secure  hearty  co-operation  in  its  support. 

During  the  year  your  Board  of  Trustees  has  lost  by  the  death 
of  Hon.  William  Bigler  and  Chapman  Biddle,  Esquire,  two  of 
its  senior  members.  Both  of  these  gentlemen  were  earnest  pro- 
moters of  the  scheme  at  its  inception,  and  were  among  those 
named  in  the  charter  as  Trustees  for  the  first  year. 

Following  is  a  statement  for  the  twelve  months  of  the  work 
done  in  the  Museum  and  in  the  School : 

THE  MUSEUM. 

Durino;  the  fall  and  winter  months  much  inconvenience  was 
experienced  from  the  leaks  in  the  roof  and  from  fragments  of 
the  decaying  zinc  ornamentation  of  the  building  breaking 
through  the  glass  dome  of  the  rotunda.  In  stormy  weather,  the 
employes  of  the  Museum  were  kept  busy  using  means  to  pre- 
vent the  water  from  falling  on  the  cases  of  exhibits.  In  the 
spring,  an  appropriaton  of  $5,000  was  made  by  Councils  to  the 


*  The  forthcoming  report  of  the  Commissioner  of  Education  for  1879-80 
contains  a  list  of  thirty-five  institutions  of  this  character,  most  of  them  re- 
ceiving State  or  municipal  aid,  and  several  of  them  liberally  endowed  by  in- 
dividuals. 


Park  Commissioners  for  the  repair  of  the  building,  and  work- 
men were  sent,  under  the  direction  of  the  Superintendent  of  the 
Park,  to  remove  the  eagles,  the  statue  of  Columbia  and  other 
decaying  ornaments  which  threatened  to  fall.  Some  of  the  most 
necessary  repairs  to  the  roofs  and  dome  were  also  made,  but  the 
appropriation  was  exhausted  before  the  repairs  to  the  dome  were 
completed.  Sufficient,  however,  has  been  done  to  make  the  ro- 
tunda available  for  exhibition  purposes,  and  several  new  cases 
have  been  erected  there. 

The  number  of  objects  on  deposit  returned  to  their  owners  has 
been  more  than  supplied  by  the  new  loans  received.  This  plan — 
of  receiving  art  objects  on  deposit  for  a  certain  specified  time,  can 
be  made  a  very  attractive  and  instructive  feature  of  the  Museum, 
if  the  members  will  interest  themselves  in  it  sufficiently  to  so- 
licit and  contribute  loans.  Besides  the  numerous  valuable  pri- 
vate collections  that  might  be  obtained,  there  are  the  small 
cabinets  and  the  countless  number  of  single  objects  here  and 
there,  from  which  selections  could  be  made  to  illustrate  periods 
and  methods  of  art  workmanship. 

The  gifts  to  General  Grant,  deposited  by  Mr.  G.  W.  Childs, 
continue  in  the  custody  of  the  Museum,  and  prove  a  never-fail- 
ing attraction  to  visitors.  In  September  they  were  sent  to 
Chicago,  as  a  loan  to  the  Industrial  Exhibition  there.  Another 
loan  from  its  collections  was  made  by  the  Museum  in  February, 
to  the  Social  Art  Club.  At  that  time  a  pair  of  elaborately  orna- 
mented vases  of  Doulton-ware  were  exhibited  for  the  first  time. 
These  vases,  selected  by  Sir  Philip  Cunliffe  Owen,  C.  B.,  K.  C. 
M.  G.,  were  presented  to  the  Museum  by  four  of  your  Trustees. 

The  most  important  contribution  the  Museum  has  received,  is 
the  collection  of  objects  of  industrial  art  to  be  donated  by  Mrs. 
Moore  as  a  memorial  of  her  husband,  the  late  Bloomfield  H. 
Moore,  Esquire.     Upwards  of  one  hundred  pieces  for  this  col- 


9 

lection  have  already  been  received  and  others  are  awaiting  deliv- 
ery in  the  custom-house.  One  of  the  suite  of  north  rooms  has 
been  designated  to  receive  this  generous  gift,  which  is  always  to 
be  known  as  "  The  Moore  Collection  of  Industrial  Art." 

The  stained  glass  window,  containing  figures  symbolizing  Art 
and  Industry,  designed  and  manufactured  as  a  gift  to  this  insti- 
tution, by  W.  H.  Constable,  Esq.,  of  the  Cambridge  Stained  Glass 
Works,  England,  was  received  in  July.  This  beautiful  example 
of  the  glass-stainer's  art  has  been  placed  on  the  east  side  of  the 
vestibule,  opposite  the  window  which  was  manufactured  at  the 
above-named  works  for  exhibition  at  the  Centennial. 

The  Committee  of  the  American  Institute  of  Mining  Engi- 
neers, to  inspect  the  collection  of  mining  and  metallurgy,  made 
their  annual  visit  in  December,  and  expressed  themselves  well 
satisfied  with  the  arrangement  and  classification  of  the  specimens. 

There  are  now  on  exhibition  the  following  objects  belonging 
to  the  Museum  : 

Textiles  and  embroideries,       .         .         .         .         .         .513

Total, 3,780 

Of  these,  2,677  have  been  catalogued.  All  are  plainly 
labelled. 

In  the  spring  a  circular  of  inquiry  was  sent  to  some  four 
hundred  manufacturers  in  this  city,  to  ascertain  their  disposition 
to  contribute  to  an  exhibition  representative  of  the  local  indus- 
trial art  of  Philadelphia,  proposed  to  be  held  in  Memorial  Hall 
during  the  State  fair.  But  the  number  of  affirmative  responses 
was  so  small  that  the  committee  having  the  subject  in  charge  de- 
cided that  it  would  be  unwise  for  the  institution  to  assume  the 
financial  risk  of  the  undertaking.  Since  then,  however,  per- 
sonal inquiry  among  manufacturers  has  shown  that  the  object  of 
the  proposed  exhibition  had  not  been  clearly  understood,  and 
it  is  probable  that  another  effort  would  be  successful.  Certainly, 
one  of  the  chief  purposes  of  a  museum  of  this  character  is  to 
illustrate  the  progress  of  local  art  manufactures  as  compared 
with  foreign  production.  And  if  periodical  exhibitions  of  in- 
dustrial art  can  be  given  by  this  institution — as  exhibitions  of 
fine  arts  are  given  by  the  Academy  of  the  Fine  Arts,  and  of  me- 
chanic art  by  the  Franklin  Institute — its  usefulness  to  the  com- 
munity will  be  greatly  increased. 

The  following  table  shows  the  admissions  to  the  Hall  during 
the  year.

THE  SCHOOL. 

The  experience  of  the  two  years  during  which  the  school  had 
been  in  existence  having  convinced  your  Trustees  that  it  was 
doing  a  good  and  needed  work,  and  that  no  effort  should  be 
spared  to  increase  its  usefulness,  they  have  given  particular  at- 
tention to  this  branch  of  the  institution.  During  those  two 
years  the  students  had  been  instructed  by  two  gentlemen — non- 
professional teachers — who  had  generously  given  to  the  work  all 
the  time  and  attention  that  they  could  spare  from  their  own  occupa- 
tions. But  early  in  the  fall  term  of  1879,  it  was  seen  that  the 
school  had  progressed  so  far  that  the  students  needed  the  undi- 
vided attention  of  a  trained  instructor  as  principal.  Accord- 
ingly an  engagement  was  made  with  Mr.  L.  W.  Miller,  at  that 
time  art  master  of  the  Normal  School  of  Salem,  Mass.,  and 
instructor  of  drawing  in  one  of  the  Boston  adult  night-schools, 
to  take  charge  of  the  Museum  classes.  Mr.  Miller  moved  to 
Philadelphia  in  the  summer  to  make  ready  for  the  re-opening  of 
the  school  in  September.  A  curriculum  was  prepared  provid- 
ing a  three  years'  course  of  instruction  in  drawing,  painting  and 
modelling.  It  is  so  arranged  that  the  student,  on  the  completion 
of  the  first  year's  work,  may  choose  which  of  the  two  studies — 
painting  or  modelling — he  will  take  during  the  second  year.  A 
certificate  will  be  given  on  the  completion  of  the  work  of  each 
year,  and  a  diploma  on  the  completion  of  the  course.  The  ses- 
sion began  with  a  diminished  number  from  the  last  year,  but  the 
attendance  increased  so  rapidly  that  before  the  first  month  was 
passed  the  accommodations  in  the  Franklin  Institute,  which 
were  shared  with  the  classes  of  the  latter,  proved  insufficient  for 
both  schools.  A  speedy  change  of  location  having  thus  become 
necessary,  the  rooms  at  1709  Chestnut  Street,  which  the  school  is 


13 


now  occupying,  were  rented.  The  removal  was  made  on  No- 
vember 8th,  and  its  advantages  are  ah-eady  evident. 

The  usual  closing  exercises  of  the  school  year  were  held  in 
the  Hall  on  May  22d.  An  exhibition  of  the  work  of  the 
scholars  was  opened,  and  speeches  were  made  by  the  Hon.  John 
Welsh,  Mr.  Charles  G.  Leland,  Mr.  C.  M.  Burns  and  Dr.  A.  C. 
Lambdin.  The  great  need  for  the  foundation  of  a  popular  sys- 
tem of  industrial  art  education  being  laid  in  the  public  schools 
was  ably  shown  by  these  speakers,  and  one  pointed  out  how  it 
might  be  possible,  building  on  this  foundation,  for  the  several 
institutions  in  this  city  conducting  schools  of  fine,  industrial  or 
mechanic  art,  to  unite  in  constructing  a  scheme  of  higher  educa- 
tion that  would  fulfill  all  the  requirements  of  a  university  of 
the  arts.

ance at  the  School  and  their  occupations  :
