THE PENNSYLVANIA MUSEUM
AND
SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ART.
THE SIXTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES.
This report is for the year ending December 31st, 1891.
The financial condition of the Institution shows a gratifying im-
provement. This is partially indicated by the report of the Treasurer
for the fiscal year, which ends May 31st. The receipts from all
-sources were $33,363.80, and the expenditures $32,785.30; Of the
latter, $10,408.36 was expended on the maintenance of the Museum,
and $16,822.87 on the maintenance of the School. The endowment
fund has been increased during the year by the bequest of George S.
Pepper, $19,050 ; Five Life Memberships, $500 ; Associate Committee
of Women to be held as the nucleus of a fund for the erection of a
new building, $4,500 ; and $1,000 from Mrs. William Weightman,
Jr., to found what is to be known as the William Weightman, Jr.,
Scholarship. Notification has been received from the executors of the
will of Joseph Neumann, deceased, of a legacy of $5,000 bequeathed
to the Institution after the death of his wife and daughter, and an
additional legacy of one-tenth of the residue of the estate, after the
death of his wife and daughter, provided the latter dies without child
or children surviving.
On the 15th of June, Governor Pattison signed the bill making
an appropriation for the use of the School for the current two years,
thus enabling this department of the Institution to keep open and
to offer for new appointments those State Scholarships which would
otherwise have lapsed through want of funds. In this connection the
thanks of the Trustees are again due to the Associate Committee of
Women for their admirable and successful work on behalf of the
School.

The plan begun last year of obtaining architectural casts to be
placed in the Rotunda of Memorial Hall, has been continued this year
by purchasing a cast of the XVth Century Doorway, by Benedetto da
Majano, in the Palazzo Vecchio, of Florence, and by placing orders
for castings of the Stairway of the Pisano Pulpit in the Cathedral of
Siena, and for castings of the beautiful bronze doors in the Capitol at
Washington, by the late Randolph Rogers. The other collections in
the Museum have received numerous additions by gift and loan. Nota-
ble among the former are the valuable collection of Greek and Roman
antique lamps, vases, and votive figures given by Mrs. John Harrison,
and the marble statue of the Indian god, Parasnuth, given by Mr.
John T. Morris. The interest and value of Dr. Robert H. Lamborn's
loan collection of Mexican pictures have been greatly enhanced by the
publication by Dr. Lamborn of an Essay on Mexican Painting and
Painters, showing the development of the Spanish school of painting
in Mexico, and thus directing attention to an important era in the
art history of the New World.
Another valuable addition to the Museum is the loan to it by the
Rittenhouse Club of the Theodore Starr bequest of Arundel pictures.
This is a very complete set of the publications of that Society, and it
is the intention of the Trustees to exhibit these pictures in connection
with those already belonging to the Museum or coming to it as a sub-
scriber.
Last fall a new roof was constructed over the east wing of Memo-
rial Hall by the Commissioners of Fairmount Park. It is understood
that the west wing will be similarly repaired this spring. When all the
contemplated repairs are completed it will be possible to make a re-
arrangement of the collections by which they will be seen to much
much better advantage than at present.
The admissions to the Museum for the year were 292,409. Of
these 151,689 were Sunday visitors.
At the last annual meeting of the Corporation, the Trustees were
requested to proceed at once to provide additional quarters for the
School, for a term of three years, in the Muhr building (if found suit-
able for the purpose). The disposition of the building 1336 Spring
Garden Street was left to the discretion of the Trustees. Pursuant to
this resolution, the question of school location was again carefully
considered, and the Muhr building not being found altogether suitable
for the purpose, an arrangement was finally consummated by which a
portion of the building Nos. 1303-7 Buttonwood Street was rented.
During the summer vacation all the looms, machinery, etc., of the
Textile School were removed to these new quarters. At the same time
extensive alterations for the convenience of the teachers and scholars
of the Art School were made in the old school building. The Art
School now occupies all of the old school, and the Textile School
three floors of the Buttonwood Street building. For the first time in
a number of years, there is something like adequate accommodation
provided for both departments, and it is confidently believed that the
latter is the most complete and best equipped Textile School in the
country.
The total registration in the whole School at the first of the year
was 315 as against 289 for 1890. Subtracting duplicate registers, the
actual number of individual students was 282 as against 267 ; a gain
of 15.
The cost of transferring the Textile School to its new quarters
and setting up looms, machinery, etc., amounts to about $2,250,
toward which contributions have been made as follows : Erben, Search
& Co., Wm. Wood & Co., Thomas Dolan & Co., John Bromley &
Sons, Howland, Croft, Son & Co., George C. Hetzel & Co., Wm. H.
Grundy & Co., George D. Bromley, each $250.
Since the Schools have been moved to larger quarters, the manu-
facturers of Philadelphia have taken hold and formed an Advisory
Committee for the purpose of giving the most complete practical direc-
tion to the Textile Department. This Committee now consists of:
T. C. Search, Wm. Wood, Thomas Dolan, John Bromley, Howland
Croft, George P. Hetzel, Wm. H. Grundy, and James Doak, Jr.
Again it becomes our painful duty to record in our report the
death of another of the members of this Board, Mr. Henry C. Gibson.
Mr. Gibson was one of the original incorporators of the Institution
in 1876, and a member of the first Board of Trustees. He was re-
elected annually ; and during this long connection with the Institution
he manifested his interest in its progress by numerous liberal subscrip-
tions toward its maintenance.
Following are the reports of the Curator of the Museum and the
Principal of the School.
THE MUSEUM.
There was a slight falling off in the number of visitors to the
Museum this year over last year. The total was 292,409. Last year
it was 312,322. This decrease may be partly accounted for by the
number of inclement Sundays and holidays, and by the closing of the
East Gallery, the Moore, and Lamborn rooms while the new roof over
the East Wing was constructing.
The plaster cast of the Siena Pulpit, mentioned in the last re-
port, which is the first of the collection of architectural casts for the
Rotunda, was put in place early in the year. During the summer, the
second purchase for this collection, a cast of the Doorway by Bene-
detto da Majano, in the Hall of Lilies, in the Palazzo Vecchio of
Florence, was received and erected.
Through the kind interest and influence of a friend of the Museum
in Italy, the government authorities have granted us permission to have
a casting made of the staircase of the Pulpit in the Siena Cathedral.
This staircase, although a later addition, is in admirable harmony with
the original work of Pisano. The order for the casting has been given
and the work is now under way. We are also indebted to Mr. John
Struthers, one of our Trustees, now in Europe, for obtaining for us
from the Museum in Munich castings of the models made by the late
Randolph Rogers for the bronze doors in the Capitol at Washing-
ton. Mr. Struthers has made a generous contribution toward the sum
necessary to make the purchase.
Mrs. Bloomfield-Moore and Mrs. John W. Field, to whom the
Museum has been so largely indebted in the past, have made valuable
additions to their former gifts. Mrs. John Harrison is another gen-
erous donor. Altogether, the total number of gifts received is 139.
The most important loan is that made by the Rittenhouse Club of
the Theodore Starr collection of chromo-lithographic prints published
by the Arundel Society, some 150 in all. The Museum is now a
subscribing member of this Society, and it is the intention of the
Committee to have the Starr collection framed and exhibited with the
Museum series.
Early in the year four glass money-boxes with printed cards at-
tached, inviting visitors to contribute to the purchase fund of the Mu-
seum, were placed in the galleries. The contributions received in
this way have so far amounted to $177.05.

THE SCHOOL
The satisfactory progress in the work of the School which has
been noted in all the later reports has suffered no interruption. The
Textile School has quite outgrown the accommodations provided for
it at 1336 Spring Garden Street, before the end of last year, and dur-
ing the summer of 1891 it was transferred to rooms leased for the
purpose at 1303-5-7 Buttonwood Street, and the School of Chemistry
and Dyeing was transferred to the same building, thus uniting the two
Schools, which had been separated before. Considerable additions to
the equipment of both these Schools was made at the time of this re-
moval, eight new looms being added to the weaving department and
a dye-house with very complete appointments : zinc floor, copper-
lined tanks, and steam connections being constructed as an adjunct
to the Laboratory.
II
A large room has been rented for the purpose of being fitted with
carding and spinning machinery, all of which is expected to be in
place and ready for occupancy and use at the beginning of the next
school year.
It is at once gratifying and disappointing to note that the in-
creased accommodations which were thus provided were promptly
filled at the very beginning of the school year, so that a considerable
number of applicants had again (for the same thing happened last
year) to be denied admission.
Nine (9) applicants for admission to the Textile Class, some of
whom came from a considerable distance, one from Boston, one from
Chicago, and one from Japan, had to be turned away altogether, while
several others could only be provided with partial or substituted
courses instead of the full courses which they desired to pursue.
This experience emphasizes anew and with increased force the
need of a permanent building in which the different departments of
this Institution can be united, and each provided with much more ade-
quate facilities than has ever been the case hitherto.
That the School, in spite of the limitations and disadvantages under
which it has worked, has made so distinct an impression and gained
for its methods such encouraging recognition is certainly sufficient
demonstration of its usefulness, and proof that confidence in its per-
manence and almost indefinite development will not be misplaced.
The ill health of Mr. Posselt necessitated his giving up the di-
rection of the Textile School early in the year, and Mr. France, who
had been connected with the School almost from the day of its
establishment, and had rendered it the most valuable and untiring
service, was appointed to succeed him as Head-Master of this De-
partment.
The regular work of this School is supplemented this year by lec-
tures on Mill Economy and Construction ; The Selection of Raw Ma-
terials, and related subjects by gentlemen of large experience, and the
course is sure to prove a valuable and attractive addition to the work
of the class-room, the laboratory, and the weave room. Among those
who have already consented to lecture in this way are :
T. C. Search, on Mill Economy, two Lectures.
S. N. D. North, Secretary of National Association of Woolen
Manufacturers, on Progress of Woolen Manufacture, one Lecture.
12
Francis W. Whiting, architect, on Mill Construction, two
Lectures.
Charles H. Harding, on Selection of Wool for Manufacturing
Purposes, two Lectures.
It is gratifying to note that the School attracts each year a class
of students which is not only larger than that of the preceding year,
but better prepared to profit by the instruction afforded. It is gratifying
because it furnishes evidence of a very genuine appreciation of the
work of the School among those it is expressly designed to serve and
to whom it is capable of being of the most use, those, namely, who
while destined for, and ambitious to succeed in, industrial pursuits,
bring to the study of technical subjects minds already well trained in
preparatory schools.
A Class in Stained Glass Work was organized at the beginning of
the current school year with Miss Mara L. Holt as instructor, and one
of the rooms of the building at 1336 Spring Garden Street was as-
signed to the use of this Department.
At the time of the removal of the Textile School during the past
summer, quite extensive alterations and improvements to this building
were made. The partitions and closets separating the front and back
rooms on the west side of the second and third floors were removed,
thus making one large room on each floor out of what was before two
chambers and four closets.
The entire second floor of the main building as thus remodelled
has been assigned to the Painting Class, under Mr. Stratton, while the
Drawing Classes, under Mr. Lachenmeyer, have been located on the
third floor.
The Modelling Class, under Miss Slater, has been removed to the
first floor of the annex, formerly occupied by the power looms, and
the classes in Applied Design, under Miss Goodwin and Mr. Rosenz-
wey, occupy the second floor of the same building, one of those which
were formerly filled with hand looms.
The Carving Class, under Mr. Simons, now occupies the second
floor of the back part of the main building, the part which con-
nects it with the annex, and the third floor has been assigned to
the class in Stained Glass Work already mentioned,
The office has been removed to the large room on the first
floor formerly occupied by the Modelling Class, and the Library is
13
also installed in the same room, while the former office is oc-
cupied as a room for the sale of supplies.
The Lecture-room has been enlarged by the removal of the par-
tition which separated it from the former Textile class-room, and the
halls and stairways, as well as the rooms in which the changes above
noted were made, have been renovated throughout.
Gifts of machinery and materials for the use of the Textile School
have been made by the following firms: Geo. C. Hetzel & Co.,
Chester ; Schaum &: Uhlinger, Philadelphia ; The Fairmount
Machine Co., Philadelphia. m
One hundred and six volumes and pamphlets were added to the
School Library during the year, of which twenty-seven were purchased,
twelve by the School and fifteen by funds derived from other sources.
Seventy-nine volumes were given by Dr. Wm. H. Egle, State Libra-
rian ; Messrs. T. A. Randall & Co., Dr. Lindahl, Prof. Orton, J. R
Proctor, E. T. Dumble, Chas. Houdley, G. A. Bethune, State Geolo-
gist of Minnesota; T. C. Search, The Dry Goods Economist, E. A.
Posselt, Mrs. E. D. Gillespie, Bureau of Education, Washington,
Geo. Thomas, and Stuart Wood.
A prize of $10, which was offered by the Associate Committee
of Women for a design for a programme to be used at the ball given
at the Academy of Music, on the evening of December 9th, 1891, was
awarded to Miss Eva F. Bowman.
The usual closing exercises were held in Memorial Hall, May
29th, 1 89 1. Addresses were made by the President, by G. Harry
Davis, Esq., by Mr. Frank P. Bennett, and by Mrs. E. D. Gillespie.
An exhibition of students' work was made at the same time and
place, which remained open during the summer.
Six appointments to State scholarships have been made by the
Governor during the year, viz.: For Bedford, Elk, Lancaster, North-
umberland, Schuylkill, and Wyoming Counties. Twelve holders of
these appointments are at present registered in the School.
The scholarships placed at the disposal of the Board of Educa-
tion were filled, as usual, by a competitive examination conducted by
the Principal, each grammar school Principal being authorized to send
candidates.
Five appointments to these free scholarships are made each year,
each appointment being made for three years. Of the fifteen appointees
registered in the last three years twelve are still in the School.

REPORT
OF THE
ASSOCIATE COMMITTEE FOR 1891.
Our work for the past year has been both encouraging and dis-
heartening.
The increased number of pupils in our School enables us to re-
joice, but the knowledge that there are other young people knocking
at the door and waiting for admission, when there is no room, brings
disappointment.
The profits of an entertainment given under the auspices of our
Committee were intended to procure larger accommodations for our
scholars, but although changes for the better have been made in the
School proper, and another building secured for the Textile School,
more room is asked for.
The public of our State is not yet aroused to the share which be-
longs to it in this great educational work, namely, the pecuniary
assistance which can easily be given by many of the thousands who
find here their homes and their fortunes. We hope before the close of
the year 1892 that our subscription list may be greatly lengthened.
As an educational factor our Institution stands without a peer in
this country, and the Textile branch is superior in its advantages to
any in our own land and has few equals in the old world.
Our pupils (young women and men) leave us to find positions of
honor and usefulness, and their places are readily filled, often by the
youth of many of the States of our Union.
The Museum attracts many visitors, and its exhibits are being
gradually added to by valuable objects.
The noble generosity of one citizen gives Philadelphia a school
somewhat like our own, but one school is not enough for an ever-
increasing population. The Pennsylvania Museum and School of
Industrial Art — the offspring of the Exhibition of 1876 — needs
22
increased enthusiasm and generous pride on the part of this commu-
nity. To secure this must be the work of the Trustees and their Asso-
ciate Committee of Women.
If we would have our young people honest and true they must be
taught that all work is honorable, and those who are gifted with artis-
tic talent must be taught to use their talents for the good of the coun-
try in which they live.
On the people of this community (of whom those interested in
carrying on this work form a very minute part) rests the heavy respon-
sibility of encouraging and cultivating the talents which lie within
our grasp, that they may not lie buried, to the shame of those who
will not lend a helping hand.
By order of the Committee,
E. D. GILLESPIE,
Chairman.
