SCHOOL  OF  INDUSTRIAL  ART. 

THE  EIGHTEENTH  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  TRUSTEES. 


This  report  is  for  the  year  ending  December  31st,  1893. 

The  receipts  from  all  sources  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  May 
31st,  1893,  were  $281,764.36.  The  expenditures  were  $271,650.60, 
of  which,  for  maintenance  of  School,  was  $23,416.72  ;  for  mainten- 
ance of  Museum,  $11,851.81  ;  and  for  purchase  of  objects  of  art  for 
the  Museum,  $3341.68. 

There  has  been  no  increase  of  the  Endowment  Fund  during  1893. 

The  balance  in  the  hands  of  the  Centennial  Board  of  Finance 
amounted  to  $12,541.73,  and  by  order  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the 
United  States  the  same  was  paid  into  the  treasury  of  our  Institution  in 
September,  1893,  upon  a  bond  being  given  for  $20,000,  signed  by  our 
President  and  duly  attested  by  the  Secretary  with  the  seal  of  the  cor- 
poration attached,  making  ourselves  liable  to  pay  any  legal  claims 
which  might  be  hereafter  presented  by  individual  shareholders.  This 
action  was  taken  mainly  at  the  suggestion  of  the  Hon.  Frederick 
Fraley,  the  President  of  the  Centennial  Board  of  Finance,  and  to  him 
the  thanks  of  this  Institution  are  due. 

Mr.  Edward  Longstreth,  elected  at  the  annual  meeting  in  Janu- 
ary, 1893,  declined  to  serve,  and  Dr.  Alfred  C.  Lambdin  was  elected 
in  his  place.  Dr.  Francis  W.  Lewis  resigned  his  position  as  a  Trustee 
in  May,  1893.  Mr.  Charles  D.  Clark  resigned  as  Treasurer  and  Trustee 
on  September  8th,  1893,  owing  to  press  of  private  business  matters  of 
his  own,  and  his  resignation  was  accepted  with  regret  and  thanks  for 
his  valuable  services.  Mr.  Richard  Cadbury  was  appointed  Treasurer 
pro  tern. 

The  greatest  event  in  the  history  of  our  institution  has  happened 
since  our  last  annual  meeting.  The  property  formerly  belonging  to 
the  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb  at  Broad  and  Pine  Streets, 
two  hundred  feet  by  four  hundred  feet,  with  its  large  buildings  front- 


ing  on  four  streets,  has  become  ours  by  purchase,  and  now  we  have, 
for  the  first  time,  plenty  of  room  for  the  development  of  our  Indus- 
trial Art  School  in  all  its  many  departments.  This  most  fortunate 
event  was  made  possible  by  the  generous  offer  of  Mr.  William  Weight- 
man,  who  gave  the  sum  of  $100,000  contingent  upon  a  like  sum  being 
raised  by  the  Trustees  and  the  Associate  Committee  of  Women.  Of 
this  sum  nearly  one  half  was  raised  by  the  steady  and  heroic  efforts  of 
the  Associate  Committee  of  Women,  who  worked  with  us  and  for  the 
institution  in  the  most  indefatigable  way  with  this  brilliant  result.  To 
every  one  who  gave  or  collected  even  a  single  dollar  for  the  good 
cause  of  Industrial  Art  Education  our  hearty  thanks  are  now  offered, 
and  every  man  and  woman  in  this  community  is  asked  not  to  be 
weary  in  well  doing,  but  to  remember  that  much  money  is  still  needed 
to  reduce  the  mortgage  on  our  property,  and  to  meet  the  largely  in- 
creased expenses  of  our  School,  which  is  so  thorough  and  so  pros- 
perous. 

Our  $100,000  was  collected  by  great  efforts,  and  the  struggle  to 
secure  it,  in  the  face  of  an  opposition  by  a  syndicate  of  capitalists 
who  wanted  to  buy  the  property  to  tear  down  the  buildings  and  erect 
a  double  row  of  dwelling-houses  on  that  site,  was  most  spirited  and 
prolonged.  The  Syndicate  withdrew  at  last,  very  gracefully,  and  we 
bought  the  property.  The  deed  was  signed  for  it  on  May  12th,  1893, 
the  amount  of  the  purchase  money  being  $540,050,  of  which  sum 
$350,000  remains  on  mortgage.  Had  not  the  great  financial  depres- 
sion in  all  business  matters  come  just  as  the  money  was  being  col- 
lected, there  is  very  little  doubt  but  that  we  could  have  paid  a  larger 
sum  in  cash  and  made  a  much  smaller  mortgage,  for  public  interest 
was  aroused  and  all  intelligent  people  saw  the  importance  of  securing 
these  unique  buildings  in  that  central  position  for  educational  uses. 
The  State  of  Pennsylvania,  in  its  legislature,  showed  its  approval  of 
our  plan,  and  had  our  bill  asking  for  an  appropriation  of  $100,000 
for  buildings  been  brought  forward  sooner  there  is  no  doubt  we  should 
have  secured  State  aid.  The  interest  on  our  mortgage  annually 
amounts  to  $15,700,  payable  semi-annually  on  the  26th  days  of  April 
and  October  of  $7850.  Our  first  interest  payment  was  promptly 
made  on  October  26th. 

During  the  summer  alterations  were  made  in  several  parts  of  the 
buildings  to  adapt  them  more  completely  to  our  needs  in  the  various 
departments  of  the  School  work,  and  on  September  10th,  1893,  the 
classes  were  opened  in  the  new  School  Buildings.     Vast  as  these  build- 


ings  are,  it  is  a  source  of  amazement  to  all  who  are  familiar  with  them 
to  find  out  that  we  could  readily  occupy  nearly  the  whole  of  two 
entire  floors  all  around  from  Broad  Street  to  Fifteenth  Street — -a  fact 
which  shows  how  very  much  cramped  for  room  we  had  been  in  our 
old  quarters,  and  makes  us  wonder  how  we  managed  to  do  what  was 
done. 

The  School  property  at  1336  Spring  Garden  Street  was  sold  in 
December,  1893,  for  an  advance  on  what  was  paid  for  it,  and  the  un- 
expired lease  of  the  large  four-story  factory  building  at  Thirteenth  and 
Button  wood  Streets  was  made  over  to  a  firm  (in  June,  1893)  wno  took 
it  off  our  hands. 

The  cash  paid  for  the  property,  the  alteration  of  the  buildings 
and  the  installation  expenses  exceed  the  amount  contributed  by  about 
$3000,  or  a  little  over  that  sum,  and  it  will  require  a  further  sum  of 
about  $1000  to  complete  the  expenditures  incurred  by  removal  to 
Broad  and  Pine  Streets. 

The  cost  of  the  running  expenses  of  the  School  has  been  very 
greatly  increased,  and,  including  the  amount  of  the  interest  on  our 
mortgage  ($15,700),  it  is  not  an  excessive  estimate  to  say  that  $25,000 
will  be  needed  annually  for  the  proper  maintenance  of  our  School. 

The  central  position  of  our  School  Buildings  is  so  convenient  of 
access  that  it  is  our  wish  to  collect  about  us,  as  an  important  part  of 
our  work,  all  that  is  in  any  way  recognized  as  belonging  to  education 
in  any  of  its  various  branches.  What  has  been  already  done  in  this 
way  will  be  mentioned  in  the  report  of  the  Principal  of  the  Industrial 
Art  School. 

The  use  of  a  number  of  rooms  (not  now  used  by  us)  at  the  western 
end  of  our  building  have  been  granted  to  Mr.  Henry  Hobart  Brown, 
for  the  older  classes  of  the  DeLancey  School  for  Boys,  during  tem- 
porary changes  in  his  present  school-rooms. 

At  the  Museum  the  large  Western  Gallery  has  been  appropriated 
by  the  Commissioners  of  Fairmount  Park,  and  the  Wilstach  Gallery 
of  Paintings  has  been  placed  there  in  a  number  of  rooms  well  arranged 
for  their  proper  display.  This  caused  temporary  inconvenience  in 
rearranging  our  own  collections  which  were  in  the  West  Gallery,  but 
it  has  drawn  to  Memorial  Hall  a  larger  number  of  visitors  than  ever 
before,  and  it  will  be  an  increasing  source  of  attraction  as  the  public 
get  to  know  it  is  there. 

Two  of  our  most  active  Trustees,  Dr.  Isaac  Norris  and  Mr.  T.  P. 
Chandler,  Jr.,  have  gone  abroad  for  a  year,  and  have  asked  that  their 


places  be  filled  in  the  Board  of  Trustees  during  their  absence,  fully 
intending  to  resume  their  work  on  their  return  home.  Mr.  John 
Struthers  reluctantly  resigned  as  a  Trustee  in  November  last  on 
account  of  ill  health. 

The  Associate  Committee  of  Women  have  lost  by  death  one  of 
their  most  active  and  valued  members,  and  it  will  be  a  long  time 
before  we  can  all  get  accustomed  to  missing  the  cheering  presence  of 
Mrs.  Crawford  Arnold  from  our  meetings  and  in  the  active  work  of 
the  Institution. 

Following  are  the  Reports  of  the  Director  of  the  Museum  and  the 
Principal  of  the  School. 

THE  MUSEUM. 

The  number  of  visitors  to  Memorial  Hall  in  1893  was  379,277, 
an  excess  of  67,000  over  the  highest  record  of  previous  years.  This 
marked  increase  in  the  number  of  visitors  was,  doubtless,  due  to  the 
desire  to  see  the  Wilstach  collection  of  pictures  which  was  opened  to 
the  public  on  the  1st  of  July.  This  noble  bequest  to  the  city  occupies 
the  West  Gallery  of  Memorial  Hall.  The  Gallery  is  partitioned  off 
into  suites  of  rooms,  and  separated  from  the  parts  of  the  building 
remaining  in  the  occupancy  of  the  Museum  by  an  ornamental  iron 
screen  and  curtains.  The  administration  of  the  bequest  and  the  care 
and  arrangement  of  the  pictures  are  entirely  in  the  hands  of  the  Com- 
missioners of  Fairmount  Park. 

The  rearrangement  of  the  Museum  incident  to  the  removal  of  its 
collections  from  what  is  now  "The  Wilstach  Gallery,''  necessitated 
an  entirely  new  plan  of  grouping  the  exhibits.  As  this  plan  contem- 
plates using  the  rotunda  after  the  repairs  to  the  dome,  now  in  progress, 
are  completed,  what  has  been  done  thus  far  is  only  in  the  nature  of  a 
temporary  expedient.  So  soon  as  the  rotunda  is  opened  the  rearrange- 
ment will  be  made. 

The  year  has  been  fruitful  of  gifts  and  loans,  and  the  generosity 
of  two  friends  of  the  Museum,  in  advancing  money  for  the  purpose, 
enabled  us  to  make  numerous  valuable  purchases  at  the  World's  Fair. 
The  various  objects  are  enumerated  in  the  tabulated  list  accompanying 
this  report. 

One  of  the  most  important  works  of  the  year  was  the  fitting  up  of 
the  Southwest  Pavilion  for  the  reception  of  the  Greek  and  Roman 
antiquities  belonging  or  loaned  to  the  Museum — the  Vaux,  the  Lam- 


13 

born  and  some  minor  collections.  The  fine  Hammer  Collection  of 
antiquities,  which  comes  to  us  on  approval  for  purchase,  has  been 
installed  here.  The  manuscript  for  a  catalogue  of  this  last-named 
collection  has  been  written  and  will  be  printed  as  soon  as  possible. 

The  Department  of  American  Pottery  and  Porcelain  which  was 
established  last  year,  with  Mr.  Edwin  AtLee  Barber  as  Honorary 
Curator,  has  secured  for  us  the  co-operative  interest  of  leading  manu- 
facturers of  artistic  pottery  in  various  parts  of  the  country,  as  well  as 
a  series  of  examples  illustrating  the  history  of  the  pottery  industry  in 
this  country  which  is  unrivalled  anywhere.  An  illustrated  catalogue 
of  this  collection  has  been  prepared  by  Mr.  Barber,  and  he  also  makes 
frequent  reference  to  it  in  his  book  recently  published:  History  of 
Pottery  and  Porcelain  in  the  United  States. 

Pursuing  the  plan  of  enlisting  the  assistance  of  specialists  in  the 
work  of  the  Museum,  Mr.  F.  D.  Langenheim  was  invited  to  become 
Honorary  Curator  of  the  Department  of  Numismatics.  He  accepted 
the  office  and  under  his  direction  the  work  of  classifying  and  arrang- 
ing the  collection  of  coins  has  made  rapid  progress.  A  portion  of  the 
collection  of  the  Numismatic  and  Antiquarian  Society,  together  with 
a  collection  belonging  to  the  Library  Company  of  Philadelphia,  were 
placed  with  the  Museum  when  it  was  organized.  Altogether  there  are 
some  six  thousand  coins  in  the  Museum  collections.  All  of  these  were 
catalogued  last  year.  One  very  full  series  of  copper  electrotypes  of 
the  Greek  and  Roman  coins  in  the  British  Museum  which  was  given 
to  our  Museum  some  twelve  years  ago,  has  been  carefully  studied,  and 
wherever  the  original  is  a  gold  or  silver  coin  the  replica  has  been 
electrotyped  in  gold  or  silver. 

Another  Curatorship  which  was  established  during  the  year  was 
that  of  the  Department  of  Textiles,  including  Embroidery  and  Lace. 
This  office  was  offered  to  and  accepted  by  Mrs.  John  Harrison,  one  of 
the  Associate  Committee  of  Women.  To  Mrs.  Harrison's  personal 
efforts  we  owe  the  highly  interesting  Loan  Exhibition  of  Lace  which 
was  opened  in  the  school  building  on  December  27th.  It  is  worthy  of 
note  that  this  admirably  arranged  and  instructive  exhibition  is  the  first 
of  the  kind  ever  held  in  Philadelphia. 

I  beg  to  be  permitted  to  express  my  personal  sense  of  the  good 
fortune  of  the  Museum  in  having  enlisted  in  this  department  the  active 
interest  of  a  lady  whose  expert  knowledge  and  interest  in  the  work 
will  make  her  advice  and  assistance  so  valuable. 

During  the  year  the  few  prints  necessary  to  make  the  series  of 


14 

publications  of  the  Arundel  Society  complete  have  been  obtained. 
This  interesting  series  is  framed  and  exhibited  in  its  entirety  in  the 
north  corridor. 

Following  is  a  list  of  purchases  made  by  and  for  the  Museum  : 

Two  Columbian  half  dollars. 

Two  Columbian  quarter  dollars. 

Japanese  Kaga  or  litter. 

Three  Japanese  Temple  figures  ;  gold  lacquered. 

One  Japanese  Koro,  or  bowl  and  cover ;  enamel  on  metal.

Montgomery  County,  Pa.;  Southern  Porcelain  Co.,  of  Kaolin,  S.  C. ;  Tucker  & 
Hemphill,  Philadelphia.    Potteries  in  Bennington,  Vt.,  Trenton  and  Gloucester,  N.J.

Design  by  Florence  C.  Fetherston,  a  pupil  in  the  School. 


THE  SCHOOL. 

The  all  important  change  in  the  affairs  of  the  School,  as  it  is  the 
most  important  move  that  has  been  made  by  this  Corporation,  has,  of 
course  been  the  acquisition  of  this  magnificent  property  at  Broad  and 
Pine  streets. 

The  expansion  of  the  work  of  the  School  that  was  made  possible 
by  the  acquisition  of  this  spacious  building  has  been  promptly  effected 
and  is  indicated  not  only  by  the  increased  attendance  of  pupils,  but 
in  the  greatly  increased  equipment  which  has  been  needed  and 
which  was  really  presented  to  us  long  ago  but  which  we  were  de- 
barred from  receiving  for  want  of  room. 

The  tabulated  record  appended  to  this  report  shows  an  actual 
gain  in  the  registration  of  the  pupils  of  rather  more  than  ten  per 
cent.  This  is  most  encouraging  in  a  year  that  has  witnessed  so  great 
a  falling  off  in  other  schools  and  when  it  is  remembered  that  a  con- 
siderable number  of  those  who  are  actually  registered  in  the  School 
are  known  to  have  been  prevented  from  attending  by  the  hard  times. 

It  is  gratifying  indeed  to  note  the  extent  of  the  progress  and  ex- 
pansion which  has  been  witnessed,  and  to  change    the  note  by  which 


19 

these  reports  have  been  dominated  for  so  long  from  a  plea  for  more 
room  and  enlarged  facilities  to  the  story  of  results  accomplished  and 
ends  attained. 

No  American  School  is  now  quartered  so  advantageously  as  ours 
with  accommodations  at  once  so  ample  and  so  centrally  located,  as 
none  has  even  begun  to  rival  us  in  the  educational  work  which  is  dis- 
tinctly our  own. 

By  this  is  meant  not  merely  the  work  of  the  Textile  School  but 
the  emphasis  of  an  industrial  purpose  in  all  the  work  of  all  the  classes 
of  the  Art  School.  The  work  in  drawing,  painting,  and  modelling  is 
made  as  different  as  possible  from  that  of  a  mere  academy  and  its  ap- 
plication to  industry  emphasized  continually  and  persistently  by  being 
associated  with  work  in  design  and  a  study  of  the  conditions  under 
which  designs  have  to  be  executed  if  they  are  executed  at  all.  That 
this  represents  the  true  point  of  view  for  the  great  mass  of  students 
and  for  serving  the  real  interests  of  a  great  industrial  community  like 
ours  is  no  longer  doubted  except  by  the  very  few  who  affect  to  despise 
anything  so  commonplace  as  the  actual  doing  of  the  world's  work. 
Most  people  have  at  last  come  to  see  and  to  feel,  that  the  Art  which 
it  is  profitable  for  most  of  us  to  study  and  to  encourage,  is  that  which 
expresses  itself  in  glorifying  common  things  and  in  informing  the 
work  of  myriads  of  workers  rather  than  standing  for  the  attainment  of 
the  very  few. 

The  credit  of  promoting  this  idea,  not  only  in  Philadelphia  but  in 
the  country  at  large,  belongs  unquestionably  to  this  Institution  and  the 
growth  of  confidence  and  esteem  which  is  accorded  to  this  School  is 
the  measure  of  recognition  which  this  idea,  has  gained. 

In  accordance  with  the  spirit  and  purpose  which  has  always  been 
characteristic  of  this  Institution,  several  Associations,  whose  objects  are 
more  or  less  directly  associated  with  our  own,  have  been  invited  to 
occupy  the  building  at  such  times  and  in  such  manner  as  should  be 
convenient  for  both  parties. 

The  T.  Square  Club  an  association  of  architects,  numbering  among 
its  members  many  of  the  most  artistic  designers  in  Philadelphia,  was 
invited  to  fit  up  one  of  the  rooms  on  the  second  floor  of  the  north 
wing  as  a  club  headquarters. 

This  has  been  done  and  a  very  attractive  suite  of  rooms  for  meet- 
ings, exhibitions,  and  receptions  is  the  result.  In  return  for  the  use 
of  these  rooms  the  Club  agrees  to  exercise  through  an  advisory  com- 
mittee of  its  members  an  active  supervision  of  the  work  of  two  of  our 


classes,  namely,  the  School  of  Architectural  Design  and  the  School  of 
Mural  Decoration,  as  well  as  to  give  at  least  five  illustrated  lectures 
each  year  on  subjects  directly  related  to  the  work  of  the  School. 

The  advisory  committee  appointed  by  the  club  to  act  during  the 
current  school  year,  consists  of  Mr.  Wilson  Eyre,  Jr.,  Mr.  John 
Stewardson,  and  Mr.  Thomas  M.  Kellogg  and  the  lectures  which  are 
already  provided  for  this  season  are  as  follows  : 

January  24th,  Greek  and  Roman  Ornament  by  Prof.  Warren  P. 
Laird. 

February  7th,  Gothic  Ornament,  by  Mr.  Walter  Cope. 

March  7th,  Applied  Ornament,  by  Mr.  John  Stewardson. 

March  28th,  Wall  Decoration,  by  Mr.  Edgar  V.  Seeler. 

April  2d,  Stained  Glass  and  Mosaic,  by  Prof.  Wm.  H.  Gray. 

In  a  similar  spirit  and  with  the  purpose  of  promoting  another  art 
which,  if  less  obviously  related  to  the  main  work  of  our  schools,  is 
really  quite  as  important  and  one  whose  promotion  is  quite  as  legiti- 
mate a  work  as  we  can  undertake,  three  of  the  musical  societies  which 
promise  to  accomplish  most  for  this  form  of  culture,  have  been  in. 
vited  to  hold  their  meetings  and  rehearsals  here.  These  are  the  Sym- 
phony Society  of  Philadelphia,  The  Mendelssohn  Club  and  the  Manu- 
script Society.  The  first  of  these  is  an  orchestra  of  fifty  pieces  and 
the  second  a  chorus  of  about  one  hundred  voices,  both  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Mr.  W.  W.  Gilchrist,  which  is  sufficient  guarantee  of  the  high 
artistic  aims  of  the  organizations.  The  Manuscript  Society  is  devoted 
to  the  encouragement  of  musical  composition  and  at  its  meetings  only 
original  work  is  produced.  So  that  these  meetings  really  bear  to  music 
the  relation  that  the  exhibitions  at  the  Academy  of  Fine  Arts  and  the 
Art  Club  bear  to  painting  and  sculpture.  Much  admirable  work  has 
been  done  in  this  way  and  the  Society  is  certainly  to  be  accorded 
the  very  first  place  among  the  agencies  at  work  in  the  service  of  musical 
culture  in  Philadelphia. 

These  three  societies,  like  the  T.  Square  Club,  are  with  us  not  as 
tenants  but  as  co-workers  in  a  common  cause.  They  do  not  pay 
any  rent  but  they  have  fitted  up  at  their  own  expense  the  rooms  which 
they  use,  and  contribute  their  share  toward  the  payment  of  our  bills  for 
heat  and  light  and  janitor  service. 

The  alterations  to  the  auditorium  which  have  been  made  by  the 
Musical  Societies  were  quite  extensive  and  have  transformed  into  a 
really  beautiful  room  what  was  before  one  of  the  most  unattractive 
places  in  the  building.     This  work  in  the  auditorium  and  the  rooms 


Bao\D  Street. 


occupied  by  the  T.  Square  Club  is  of  course  only  a  small  part  of  the 
renovation  that  was  necessary,  almost  every  room  in  the  building 
having  to  be  more  or  less  remodelled.  Offices  and  administration 
rooms  have  been  fitted  up  in  both  wings  and  the  large  rooms,  a  hun- 
dred feet  in  length  in  some  cases,  qf  which  the  interior  mainly  con- 
sisted when  we  acquired  it,  have,  in  the  Art  School  which  occupies 
the  north  wing,  been  divided  into  alcoves  each  one  of  which  makes  a 
good  sized  studio  by  itself.  In  the  Art  School  there  are  nine  studios 
for  drawing  and  painting,  each  one  being  either  a  room  by  itself  or  a 
large  and  well  lighted  alcove  capable  of  being  arranged  in  such  a  way 
as  to  give  a  distinct  character  to  the  work  carried  on  in  it.  There  is 
also  a  modelling  room  ninety  feet  long,  one  nearly  as  large  for  casting 
and  plaster  work,  one  for  wood  work  and  carving,  one  for  metal  work. 
A  large  .room  divided  into  three  alcoves  devoted  to  the  classes  in  De- 
signing and  in  Mural  Decorations,  a  suite  of  rooms  devoted  to  the 
Library,  besides  the  Office,  the  Reception  Room,  a  Supply  Room  and 
private  rooms  for  the  different  instructors.

Carpet.     Designed  and  woven  by  William  Wolfersberger,  a  pupil  of  the  School. 

In  the  Textile  School,  which  occupies  the  south  wing,  there  are, 
besides  the  offices  and  administration  rooms,  the  general  exhibition 
room  of  the  school,  the  power  weaving-room,  118  feet  in  length  and 
furnished  with  twenty  power  looms  of  the  latest  and  most  improved 
design  ;  a  suite  of  rooms  on  the  first  floor,  and  rooms  ioo  feet  long 
on  both  the  second  and  third  floors  fully  furnished  with  hand  looms, 


23 

fifty  in  number;  a  suite  of  rooms  completely  equipped  as  a  chemical 
laboratory,  with  thirty-three  desks ;  a  lecture  room,  a  designing 
room,  a  textile  library  and  a  yarn  room.  In  the  basement  is  a  com- 
plete dye-house,  with  copper-lined  tanks  and  steam  pipes  for  boiling  ; 
a  dyeing  room,  and  a  large  room  furnished  with  machinery  and  appli- 
ances for  finishing,  including  a  shearing  machine  and  a  fulling  mill. 

The  work  of  renovating  has  also  been  made  the  means  of  giving 
profitable  instruction,  as  the  decoration  has  largely  been  done  by  the 
students.  The  Library  has  been  decorated  with  considerable  elabor- 
ateness in  the  Renaissance  style  from  designs,  and  to  some  extent  by 
the  hands,  of  the  students  of  the  class  in  Mural  Decoration,  who 
have  thus  been  enabled  to  acquire  much  valuable  experience  in  laying 
out  work  on  a  large  scale,  as  well  as  superintending  and  assisting  in 
their  execution  on  the  actual  walls  and  ceilings. 

The  organization  of  the  different  departments,  and  the  instruc- 
tors in  charge  of  them,  are  substantially  the  same  as  they  were  last 
year,  except  that  Mr.  Charles  X.  Harris,  an  artist  who  won  distinction 
as  a  pupil  of  Cabanel  in  Paris,  and  was  known  as  one  of  the  best 
draughtsmen  in  America,  has  been  appointed  Professor  of  Figure 
Drawing. 

Mr.  Harris  came  over  from  New  York  once  a  week  during  the 
last  three  months  of  the  school  year  ending  last  June,  but  moved  to 
Philadelphia  in  season  to  begin  the  current  school  year  on  a  different 
basis,  and  now  devotes  three  days  in  each  week  to  the  work  of  the 
school. 

Miss  Goodwin,  who  has  been  giving  a  good  deal  of  time  to  the  work 
of  the  Textile  School  for  several  years,  has  now  been  transferred  to 
to  this  department  altogether  ;  and  Miss  Fetherston  now  has  charge 
of  the  Department  of  Applied  Design. 

A  Department  of  Modern  Languages  has  been  added,  since  the 
the  removal  to  this  building,  under  Professor  A.  M.  Grillon,  teacher 
of  French,  and  Madame  Grillon,  teacher  of  German. 

Too  much  praise  cannot  be  given  to  the  teachers,  one  and  all, 
whose  devoted  service  has  brought  the  School  to  its  present  state  of 
efficiency,  and  who  have  performed  the  great  amount  of  extra  labor 
caused  by  removal  to  the  new  building.  They  have  worked  for  its 
interests,  in  season  and  out  of  season,  with  a  disregard  of  hours  or  the 
terms  of  any  formal  engagement  that  is  beyond  praise.  The  service 
they  have  rendered  is  one  which  no  one  has  a  right  to  command  or 
even  to  expect,  and   the  proudest  part  of  our  record  is  the  story  of 


24 

the  unselfish  labors  of  this  band  of  teachers  and  of  the  way  that  some- 
thing of  the  spirit  that  it  represents  is  communicated  to  those  who 
come  under  its  influence. 

The  School  has  been  the  recipient  of  many  valuable  gifts,  among 
them  a  large  show  case  from  the  World's  Columbian  Exposition,  the 
gift  of  Messrs.  Erben,  Search  &  Co.  and  Wm,  Wood  &  Co.,  whose 
combined  exhibits  it  contained  at  Chicago.  It  is  forty  feet  in  length 
and  admirably  furnishes  the  exhibition  room  of  the  School.

Five  appointments  to  these  free  scholarships  are  made  each  year,

REPORT  OF   THE 
ASSOCIATE  COMMITTEE  OF  WOMEN. 

Who  can  recall  the  early  days  of  this  now  great  Institution  with- 
out being  grateful,  not  only  for  the  good  it  has  a'ready  done,  but  for 
the  strong  and  well  founded  hope  we  entertain  for  the  immense  good 
it  will  continue  to  do,  not  only  for  the  youth  of  both  sexes  in  our  own 
State,  but  for  the  young  throughout  our  broad  land. 

For  those  interested  in  the  advancement  of  the  Pennsylvania 
School  of  Industrial  Art  the  work  of  the  year  which  has  just  closed 
has  been  arduous  in  the  extreme.  The  building  in  which  the  School 
was  located  in  1892  and  the  beginning  of  1893  was  inadequate  for 
our  purpose.  Pupils  from  many  of  the  outside  states  as  well  as 
from  our  own,  were  being  turned  away  from  our  doors  for  want  of 
room.  Our  hearts  were  filled  with  dismay,  but  courage  was  given  us 
to  work  onward  and  upward  ;  our  path  has  been  difficult  and  our 
discouragements  many,  but  the  generosity  of  some  of  our  citizens 
has  placed  the  School  in  the  beginning  of  1894  in  large  and  com- 
modious quarters  in  the  building  which  is  still  called  the  "Deaf 
and  Dumb  "  but  now  within  its  walls,  ears  are  open  to  the  instruc- 
tion here  given  and  happy  voices  tell  of  the  advantages  here  en- 
joyed. 

In  the  Chicago  Exhibition  the  drawings  and  textile  work  of  this, 
our  School,  were  held  in  high  esteem  and  more  than  one  professor 
from  the  technical  schools  in  foreign  lands  turned  aside  on  his  way 
home,  to  visit  our  School  where  these  industries  were  brought  to 
such  perfection.  A  graduate  of  the  School  was  a  judge  of  awards 
for  drawing  and  textile  fabrics  at  the  Columbian  Exposition.  The 
foreign  Commissioners  were  surprised  to  find  this  judge  a  young 
woman  whose  opinion  and  advice  were  so  frequently  sought  for  and 
taken,  that  in  recognition  of  her  services  she  was  entertained  at  a 
banquet  given  by  members  of  the  Foreign  Commissioners  and  a 
bronze  medal  was  presented  to  her  by  the  Commissioners  from  Ger- 
many. 

In  1873  tne  women  of  our  country  banded  together  and  organized 


37 

for  the  success  of  the  Exhibition  of  T876,  with  the  purpose  of  open- 
ing through  it  "  avenues  of  usefulness  to  the  young  women  of  our 
land."  That  organization  has  seen  since  more  than  the  light  of  dawn 
shining  on  the  heads  of  many  a  young  woman  through  those  ''ave- 
nues of  usefulness."  Many  of  those  who  spent  time,  energy,  talents, 
and  money  to  accomplish  this  purpose  have  gone  to  their  everlasting 
rest.  One,  with  whom  some  who  now  send  forth  this  report  stood 
side  by  side  for  twenty  years  laboring  for  this  end,  we  mourn,  as  we 
always  shall  mourn,  Mrs.  Crawford  Arnold,  but  gratefully  and  gladly 
may  we  say  of  all  these  good  women,  "  Their  works  do  follow  them."
