NEW BEDFORD TEXTILE SCHOOL
THE SCHOOL AND ITS PURPOSES
The Legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the act
under which the Trustees of the New Bedford Textile School were in-
corporated, gives as the purpose of the incorporation that of establish-
ing and maintaining a textile school for instruction in the theory and
practical art of textiles and kindred branches of industry.
As New Bedford is primarily a cotton manufacturing city, this school
confines itself principally to instruction in the cotton branch of the
textile industry, and seeks to perfect itself in this line. Its course of
instruction is arranged to subserve the interests of two general classes
of students: (1) day students, — those who give their whole time for
two or three years to acquiring the theory as well as the practice of
cotton manufacturing in all its details, from the raw cotton to the fin-
ished fabric, and also have instruction in the scientific principles which
underlie the construction of the machinery and its operation, and the
artistic principles which are involved in the production of desirable
and ornamental fabrics; (2) evening students, — those who are em-
ployed in the mills during the day and who, by attending the Textile
School evenings, are able to learn other phases of the industry from
that in which they are employed, or to perfect themselves in their spe- .
cial lines of work, and become more efficient workmen. The courses of
instruction for these two classes of students are given fully on other
pages of this catalogue.
The whole of the machinery in the school is absolutely modern, beine
constructed especially for the school. It is all high grade, has la*
185389
improvements, and is especially built to afford facilities for all kinds
of experimental work, and represents all the leading types of ma-
chines from the best builders in the United States, and several English
builders.
There is no mill in which there is so large a variety of machinery as
in the New Bedford Textile School. This consequently affords the
student a better opportunity to become acquainted with various ma-
chines and methods than could be found in any one manufacturing
establishment.
Each instructor in the day school is a man who is thoroughly con-
versant with the work of the department under his charge by thorough
training and long experience. Each one has charge of the work in his
department at night also, assisted by experienced assistants from the
mills, many of whom are graduates of this school.
The school went into operation in the fall of 1899, and the first class
was graduated in 1900. The regular courses were one year in length
for the first few years, but were afterwards increased to three years.
Special shorter courses are given, however, for which certificates are
granted.
For nineteen years the school was a semi-private institution, but
supported by appropriations made each year by the State and by the
city of New Bedford. It was managed by a Board of Trustees, two
appointed by the Governor of the Commonwealth, two representing the
city (the mayor and the superintendent of schools, ex officiis), and
twenty organized under the general statute by which the school was
founded, a perpetual body, with power to fill vacancies other than the
four created for and representing the Commonwealth and city.
On July 1, 1918, it became a State institution by an act amending the
State Constitution. It is still maintained with appropriations made by
the State and City.
It is managed by a Board of Trustees consisting of eighteen mem-
bers, the Commissioner of Education, ex officio, fifteen appointed by
the Governor of the Commonwealth, and two, the Mayor and the Super-
intendent of Schools, ex-officiis, representing the city. Most of the
trustees are men who either are or have been connected actively with
the manufacture of cotton textiles.
The number of individual students attending the school since its
opening is 11,243, the number graduated, 3,104. Many evening students
who attend regularly do not take the examinations, and therefore do
not appear as graduates, though they may have had a good record as
students, especially in practice. This shrinking from examinations is
natural, for many of them have little or no command of English, or are
not accustomed to examinations.
A large number of those who do not appear as graduates, however,
are benefitted by the instruction given in the school, and have acquired
a knowledge and skill that have enabled them to rise in the industry
and improve their financial and social condition.
THE LOCATION OF THE SCHOOL
The school is situated in the center of the city of New Bedford, Mass.,
on the main car line of the city, which connects the mill districts, and
is readily accessible to mill operatives who attend the evening sessions
of the school. It is near the residential part of the city, and is there-
fore conveniently situated for non-resident pupils who take up a tem-
porary residence in the city.
New Bedford is an especially suitable location for an institution of
this character. It is the largest cotton manufacturing city of fine yarns
and fancy woven fabrics and novelties in the country. Its spindles
number 3,492,478, and looms, 56,249; and employees, 39,670.
High-grade combed yarns are produced in New Bedford to a greater
5
extent than in any other city, while the mills are engaged in the man-
ufacture of fine shirtings, muslins, lawns, sateens, lenos, checks, piques
and other fancy fabrics to an extent unknown elsewhere. New Bed-
ford's great advantage in this respect can be attributed principally to
the fact that her mills are nearly all of recent construction, with the
mo3t improved and up-to-date equipment. The environment of these
mills is in itself a benefit to the students who select the New Bedford
Textile School as the institution in which to learn the mill business, as
they have opportunity to observe their construction and operation, and
to find employment in them during the long summer vacations and upon
finishing their course in the school.
New Bedford is within short distance of Hopedale, Whitinsville,
Hyde Park, Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket, Taunton and other
large cotton machinery centers. It is one of the healthiest of the man-
ufacturing cities in the United States. Picturesquely situated on the
extreme south shore of Massachusetts, it enjoys one of the mildest
winter climates in New England, and thus offers peculiar residential
advantages for non-resident students.
THE BUILDINGS
The school is housed in two separate buildings connected by a tunnel
in the basement and by covered bridges overhead. They are con-
structed of red brick with trimmings of Indiana sandstone. They are
classified as the machinery building and the recitation building.
The first now comprises the original building, erected in 1898-99, and
the first two additions, erected in the years 1901-02 and 1905, respec-
tively, and the latest addition 1922 and 1923. This building is 164 feet
in length, with an average depth of 112 feet. It is three stories high,
with basement under most of it, and contains a floor space of 59,600
square feet. In it are situated the administration offices, the power
house and all the departments comprised in a cotton yarn and cotton
cloth mill. In addition, it has two large thoroughly equipped rooms
for instruction in the art of knitting, both for hosiery and underwear,
and a gymnasium.
The recitation building was completed and occupied in the fall of
1911. It consists of a main building 108 by 93 feet 6 inches, three
stories high, with a deep well-lighted basement under the whole of it,
and contains 40,392 square feet of floor space. It also has an annex
68 feet 3 inches long by 19 feet 3 inches deep, one story high, with base-
ment, and contains 2,634 square feet of floor space. This annex is used
as an experimental laboratory and as a storeroom for chemical supplies.
The main building, besides being equipped with recitation and lec-
ture rooms of various sizes, has a thoroughly equipped chemical lab-
oratory, dyeing and finishing rooms, engineering laboratories, a com-
modious machine shop, drafting rooms, a designing room especially
fitted, an exhibition room, and an assembly hall that will seat 400
persons.
Both structures are of the slow-burning mill construction type, ap-
proved by the leading fire insurance associations and mill engineers,
while the general equipment of the plant is also illustrative of the best
methods of lighting, heating, ventilating, humidifying and fire-protect-
ing mills. Great attention has been paid to the planning and arranging
of these buildings for the school, to make them suitable for the pur-
poses of imparting textile instruction, and in order that the machinery
building should give an object lesson in cotton mill engineering.
Power and light are purchased from the local electric power com-
pany, and the school supplies its own heat and the steam needed in its
finishing plant. The fire protection was designed and installed by the
General Fire Extinguisher Company of Providence, R. I., the well-
known Grinnell Sprinkler being used. The American Moistening Com-
6
pany, the Bahnson Humidifier Company and the Parks-Cramer Com-
pany have installed complete humidifying apparatus. The whole equip-
ment is approved by the Massachusetts State inspectors of public build-
ings.
DAY CLASSES
The regular day courses of the school are as follows: —
General Cotton Manufacturing.
Chemistry, Dyeing and Finishing.
Designing.
Carding and Spinning.
Circular Hosiery Knitting.
Latch Needle Underwear Knitting.
All the above courses are diploma courses, three years long, and are
intended to qualify students to hold positions of responsibility in tex-
tile manufacturing and allied establishments.
The advantages of these courses to qualify men to hold responsible
positions in cotton mills, dyeing and finishing plants, commission
houses, etc., are many. These industries, as conducted, are not adapted
to give a young man a technical education. The opposite is the case
where the primary object is to impart knowledge and to train in the
correct method of doing things.
It is not expected that a young man, going from this school, will at
once secure an executive position. It is expected, on the contrary, that
he will begin in a more humble fashion, that with the knowledge ac-
quired in the school and the experience gained in the mill itself, he
will be qualified to hold higher positions, and that his advancement
will be much more rapid and his knowledge broader than one who has
not had the school instruction and training. That such is the case is
shown already by the positions now held by the graduates of the school.
Many of them are occupying positions of trust and responsibility in
the textile and allied industries as manufacturers, treasurers, agents,
superintendents, assistant superintendents, designers in mills and com-
mission houses, overseers, chemists and dyers, etc. Some have been
called to good positions as designers directly from the school, and
many who have attended the evening classes have so improved in skill
and knowledge that they have advanced in position and earning power.
That the work of the school is recognized by textile manufacturers
and those engaged in allied industries is attested by the fact that ap-
plications are constant for men of the school — more than can be sup-
plied. One of the largest bleaching establishments in the country has
assured us that it is ready to take all the men from the chemistry and
dyeing department that we will recommend.
But this school does not agree to make successful men out of lazy,
careless and indifferent boys, nor does it care for such boys as students.
But for those who wish to learn, who are ready to work, who are willing
to bide their time, it does offer an opportunity that will supply them
with an honorable vocation, with many opportunities for advancement
in the world, with good remuneration.
In case a prospective student feels that no one of the diploma courses
meets his particular needs, he is requested to communicate with the
Principal, stating his wishes. Whenever possible, special courses will
be given in the various departments, for which certificates will be
granted, stating the subjects taken and the time given to them. The
limitations of these special courses will be determined in every case by
the management.

General Cotton Manufacturing Course
The course in cotton manufacturing is designed to give the student
a thorough fundamental knowledge of the different processes entering
into the construction of a piece of cloth from the raw staple to the
finished product.
During the first year the student takes up the study of yarn prepara-
tion, weaving, designing and cloth analysis. The study of mechanics,
mechanical drawing and chemistry is also pursued the first year, the
work in these subjects being designed especially for men who are to
take up the cotton mill work. Instruction in yarn calculations, spooling,
warping and slashing is also offered during the first year.
In the second and third years sufficient time is given to instruction
in picking, carding and spinning, while the subjects of weaving, de-
signing and analysis are continued. Practical work in the machine
shop is entered upon the second year.
Dyeing is begun the first year, the work being such as is of special
interest to the student of cotton manufacturing. The student is also
A OCf?QCi

given instruction in steam engineering during the second year, while
in .the third year, work in electrical engineering and cotton mill con-
struction is offered. The study of color is taken up during the third
year.
The work in all subjects is so arranged that the student is taken
gradually from the simpler to the more difficult problems. Much of
the work in the last year is original, and the student is thrown on his
own resources.
The work in chemistry, dyeing, mechanics and shop practice is all
arranged with special reference to the student of cotton manufacturing.
This course is very thorough, and is always recommended to the
student who is to make cotton cloth manufacturing his future work.

years. Since the major subjects in this course are confined to design-
ing, cloth analysis and weaving, the work is somewhat more inten-
than in the general course.
The student, during the first year, takes up the study of the plain
loom, the more simple designs and the analysis of such fabrics as con-
tain designs similar to those being studied in the designing lessor.
Instruction the first year is also offered in the preparation of warps
for the loom, while work in the mechanical department is entered upon
the first year, and extends through all three years of the course.
Instruction in the mechanical department is considered essential to
the student of designing, as many of the new fabrics brought out by
designers from year to year are based as much upon the mechanism
of the loom as upon pure design.
During the second year more advanced fabrics, such as double cloths,
Bedford cords, piques and lenos, are studied, both in designing and
analysis, while much of the work in the weave room consists of put-
ting original designs into the looms and weaving a short length of
each.
Commencing with the first term of the second year, a practical course
in color is offered the student, who is required to work out a series of
color scales and apply them in coloring designs.
In the second term of this year cotton sampling is introduced.
The third year is largely devoted to the subject of Jacquard design-
ing in both the designing and weaving departments. During this year
the subject of commission house work, as it applies to the styling and
finishing of new fabrics, is dealt with, and the student is given a close
insight into the requirements of this branch of designing.
For the student who wishes to perfect himself in the subject of cloth
designing, as applied to the cotton trade, this course will be found
very complete.

Chemistry, Dyeing and Finishing Course
The object of this course is to give to the student a thorough knowl-
edge of the chemistry of the textile processes involved in the manu-
facture of cotton cloth. To insure a perfect foundation, the first two
years are devoted almost entirely to chemical subjects and laboratory
work. During this period the subjects of general chemistry, inorganic
and organic, are taught, the preparation and properties of various
chemicals and dyestuffs, the properties of the various fibers, and the
coloring of them.
The third year is devoted almost entirely to the practical dyeing and
finishing of cotton goods. The best current practice is followed, but
the underlying principles are thoroughly taught in order that the
student may understand the limitations and purpose of each process.
The subjects of machine drawing, principles of mechanics, electricity
and shop work are taught. These allied subjects are arranged with
special reference to the major subjects, and are considered very im-
portant, as they give the student a first-hand knowledge of the con-
struction of the various machines.
The graduates of this course find employment with dyestuff makers
and dealers, with manufacturers of chemicals used in dyeing, with
bleacheries, dye houses and finishing works.
It is desirable that students entering this course shall have success-
fully completed a scientific course in high school or its equivalent.
Any one, however, who can show by examination his ability to profit
by the instruction given is admitted.

Circular Hosiery Knitting Course
The course in circular hosiery knitting is adapted to the needs of
those students desiring a thorough knowledge of the hosiery industry.
The instruction given covers both the technical and practical parts
of the business, including cost finding.
A large part of the time is devoted to instruction work on the knit-
ting machines.
During the first year the student takes up the winding and prepara-
tion of cotton, lisle, wool, worsted and silk yarns for use on hosiery
machines; also the principle of circular latch-needle knitting, and the
setting and adjusting of different makes of rib-leg and rib-top machines.
In the second and third years, the time is given up to a study of the
different makes of automatic hosiery machines, knitting men's half
hose, ladies' hose, footing children's and infants' hose, looping, welt-
ing and mending; method of handling and keeping track of goods
through the mill ; cost of manufacturing from yarn to the box.
Instruction is also given in cotton yarn preparation, yarn calcula-
tions, cotton sampling, mechanics, steam engineering, chemistry and
dyeing, the work in these different subjects being arranged to meet
the special needs of the student.
This course is recommended to those students who intend to become
connected with a hosiery mill.

materials used in machine construction.
Textbook: "Practical Mechanics," Hale.
20
172. Mechanical Drawing
The object of this course in mechanical drawing is to give the stu-
dent a good foundation for reading drawings and for making such
sketches and drawings as he will be likely to be called on to make in
practice. Thoroughness, accuracy and neatness are insisted upon
throughout the course. The work in mechanical drawing begins with
instruction in the use and care of drawing instruments. The following
is a general outline of the work to be covered : plain lettering, geomet-
rical constructions, orthographic and isometric projection, inking and
tracing, standards, conventions and tabulation as used in the modern
drafting room. Simple working drawings are to be made to scale, and
the final work of the year consists of free-hand sketching of machine
details from parts of textile machinery. This brings into use at one
time all the work covered during the year, and serves as a test of the
student's grasp of the subject.
173. Mechanism
In view of the large number of mechanisms used in textile machinery
this course is a very important one. The subject is given by means of
lectures and recitations, the work in the drawing room being closely
related to the classroom instruction. This course includes studies and
graphical solutions of cams, gears, etc.
174. Machine Shop
Shopwork and drawing are organized as one department for the pur-
pose of securing close correlation of the work. Many exercises are
common to the drawing room and the shop. In the machine shop an
effort is made, not only to train the student manually, but also to teach
him correct shop methods and practice. Carefully graded exercises
are arranged to teach him the use of measuring instruments, hand
tools and then machine tools. The different measuring tools and de-
vices, with advantages, methods of use and limits of accuracy of each,
are considered. Each cutting tool is taken up, its cutting angles and
general adjustments are described, together with the "feeds" and cut-
ting speeds suitable for each material worked and for each machine.
The course includes instruction in centering, squaring, straight and
taper turning and fitting, outside and inside screw cutting, chucking,
reaming, finishing and polishing, drilling, tapping, grinding, boring,
planing flat and V surfaces, filing and gear cutting, including spur,
bevel, rack and worm gears.
When the student becomes proficient in handling the tools and ma-
chines, he is given work in fitting and assembling, and also repair work
from the other departments.
175. Machine Drawing
Machine drawing is a continuation of the mechanical drawing of the
first year, and the work is dependent upon a thorough knowledge of
how to apply the conventions of drawing which custom has made stand-
ard as given during the first year. The work consists of proportioning
of machine details as fixed by practice, making assembly drawing from
detailed sketches, and also detailing parts from assembled machines.
176. Steam Engineering
A typical power plant, including the boiler, steam engine and all
necessary auxiliary apparatus such as is found in a modern cotton mill,
is studied in detail. Prepared outlines are discussed in lecture periods,
and the details supplied by the student after reading assignments in
21
standard text and reference books. Practice is given in handling en-
gines, apparatus and equipment in the laboratory. Exercises consist
in adjusting, starting and running engines, taking and working out in-
dicator cards, prony brake tests, pump and injector tests, etc.
177. Elementary Electricity
The elementary principles of magnetism and electricity are taken up
in lecture and recitation, and are supplemented by laboratory exercises.
Emphasis is placed on the different wiring systems and electric drives
as used in mills and factories. A general study is made of a typical
electrical power plant, and of the apparatus required to generate and
distribute electrical energy.
Textbook: "Essentials of Electricity," W. H. Timbie.
178. Mill Engineering
Proficiency in this course depends on the thoroughness with which
the work of the previous courses was carried on. The course consists
of lectures supplemented by work in the drafting room. Problems in
design, construction and equipment of mills and factories are taken up.
The subject includes foundations, walls, floors, roofs and mill construc-
tion in general. The choice of location and the methods of transmit-
ting power are discussed. The following outline shows the scope of
the course: principles underlying the design and construction of framed
structures, involving the use of wood, steel, brick, stone, concrete and
reinforced concrete, methods of lighting, ventilating and protecting
from fire.
179. Figuring Costs
One and a half hours a week, during the last term of the general
course, is devoted to methods of cost finding in a cotton mill. A com-
plete mill is taken for an illustration, and the reports of both the ex-
pense and production are used to work with.
181. General Chemistry
This course comprises three lectures of one hour each and nine and
one-half hours of laboratory work each week. The laboratory work
is closely criticized by the instructor, and individual effort encouraged.
Careful manipulation, thoroughness in observation, accuracy in ar-
riving at conclusions and neatness are required of each student. The
fundamental principles of the science are taught in connection with the
descriptive chemistry of the elements.
No previous study of chemistry is required for admission to this
course, but the instruction is so arranged that students having already
spent considerable time in chemistry in other schools are given ad-
vanced work in which the knowledge already acquired is utilized.
Textbook: Smith's "General Chemistry for Colleges."
182. General Chemistry
The training afforded by a course in general chemistry is considered
of value to all the students of the school, and also lays the foundation
for the subsequent course in dyeing. Hence students taking courses
in the cotton or knitting departments are required to take general chem-
istry during the first term of the first year. This subject covers the
same ground as subject 181, but in a briefer manner. Five hours per
week are spent in the laboratory, and one hour in the lecture and reci-
tation room.
Textbook: Smith's "Elementary Chemistry."
22
183. Inorganic Preparations
The time in this subject is devoted largely to laboratory work, with
an occasional explanatory lecture. First the student is taught the best
methods of carrying on the usual laboratory operations, as forming of
crystals, precipitates, filtering, evaporating and drying. This is fol-
lowed by the preparation of several salts and industrial products, sub-
stances being selected that are of particular interest to the textile in-
dustry. The work is progressive in subject-matter, and so arranged
as to be co-ordinate with the subject of general chemistry.
191-192. Qualitative Analysis
This course comprises one lecture of one hour and twelve hours' lab-
oratory work a week during the second term of the first year. The
student is taught the principle of systematic qualitative analysis and
the application of the principles to detect the base-forming elements,
the acid-forming elements, and the various classes of compounds of the
bases and the acids. Especial attention is paid to the inorganic ma-
terials ordinarily met with in the manufacture, dyeing and finishing
of cotton piece goods. The student is required to analyze correctly a
sufficient number of unknown substances to demonstrate his ability to
detect any of the elements ordinarily met with.
Textbook: Noyes' "Qualitative Analysis."
202. Quantitative Analysis
The course in Quantitative Analysis is divided into two parts each re-
quiring one term for its completion. Stress is laid on the accuracy and
integrity necessary for quantitative work. Each student is required,
under supervision of the instructor, to adjust his own balances, and cali-
brate the weights, burettes, flasks, etc., that he uses, that he may under-
stand the nature and amount of error in his work, thus giving him confi-
dence in his results. In connection with the course a thorough training
in the solution of chemical problems is given. The course comprises one
lecture each week, the remainder of the time being devoted to laboratory
practice. The first term is spent in gravimetric determination of chlorine,
sulfuric, carbonic, and phosphoric acids, and iron, aluminum, calcium and
magnesium.
203. Quantitative Analysis
This course is a continuation of Course 202 and comprises volumetric
analysis involving the use of acids, alkalis, oxidizing and reducing agents,
and chlorimetry. The work on chemical problems is also continued
through this term, the problems being such as to apply the principles of
volumetric analysis.
212. Organic Chemistry
This course is divided into two terms, the first term giving a general
survey of the subject, a thorough training being given in the reactions
and properties of the various compounds met with in textile industries.
The two lower members of the paraffines and their derivatives are ex-
haustively treated. Then the study of the higher members is taken up,
the unsaturated hydro-carbons and their derivatives.
Textbook: Remsen & OrndorfFs "Organic Chemistry."
213. Organic Chemistry
The work of the second term is devoted exclusively to the study of dye-
stuffs and their preparation. The constitutions of various typical dye-
23
stuffs are studied to determine their influence on coloring power, dyeing
properties and fastness to light, acids, alkalis, bleaching, etc. In the lim-
ited time afforded, the number of dyestuffs studied is necessarily limited,
but the training is made so thorough that the student is enabled to take
up further investigation intelligently should his future work demand it.
222. Textile Chemistry and Dyeing
These subjects open wTith a study of the chemical and physical tech-
nology of the fibers. Lectures are given descriptive of the action of heat,
moisture, acids, alkalis, oxidizing agents, reducing agents, salts, organic
ferments and coloring matter upon the fibers. Parallel with these lec-
tures laboratory experiments are carried out by the performance of
which the student becomes familiar with the chemical and physical prop-
erties of the various fibers and the actions of the several agents upon
them.
This is followed by a series of lectures and experiments that illustrate
the application of the above principles to practice. The student is taught
how to scour cotton, wool and silk; how to bleach these fibers by the use
of sulphur dioxide, chlorine compounds and oxygen compounds. The mer-
cerizing, fireproofing and waterproofing of cotton, the chlorination of
wool, and the waterproofing of silk are also demonstrated.
Now the application of the dyestuffs to the various fibers is studied.
For convenience the dyestuffs, whether of natural or synthetic origin,
are classed as either substantive, acid, basic or mordant. The best method
of application of each of the above groups is then taught. The dyed fibers
are tested, for their fastness to light, water, acid, alkalis, milling, stoving,
chloring, crocking and hot finishing. Modified methods are then consid-
ered for the production of especial degrees of fastness to certain agents
by after-treating of the dyed fibers.
223. Dyeing
This course is supplementary to the course in textile chemistry and
dyeing and consists principally in the application of dyes to cotton and
practice in color matching. Lectures are given as the occasion requires,
but most of the time is spent in the laboratory.
At the end of the course the general principles of cotton matching are
taken up, and experimental work is carried on demonstrating the proper
method of obtaining a given shade by mixing several dyes. Obtaining
the value of a dye is taught, and the detection of adulterants. Finally,
methods for determining the dye, either in the form of a dyestuff or on
the dyed fabric, are considered.
Samples acquired in connection with the laboratory practice are
mounted and bound with the above notes, which they serve to illustrate.
224. Dyeing
The laboratory work of this term is mainly devoted to the printing of
textile fabrics, especial emphasis being laid on cotton. The theory and
practice of the various styles, such as the pigment style, the direct print-
ing style, the steam style, or metallic or tannin mordants, resist and dis-
charge dye styles, the developed azo style, the printing of indigo and
similar dye stuffs and aniline black are studied. The student makes as
many different prints as the time will allow. During the entire course
the student accumulates many samples which he is required to mount in
a specially designed sample book for his reference in the future. Special
stress is laid on quality rather than quantity of work done. As often as
time permits and circumstances demand it, lots of yarn, hosiery, etc., of
commercial size are dyed by the students for other departments.

commercial size lots of knit goods and hosiery. Lectures describing the
various processes are given, and the necessary calculations are taught in
connection with this course. Scouring and bleaching are also taught. The
student is required to make use of knowledge acquired in the previous
courses in dyeing.
230. Cotton Manufacture
Cotton Manufacture is the name assigned to a course of lectures given
to the second year students in chemistry, so that they may become ac-
quainted with the methods employed in the manufacture of cotton yarn
and cloth. The various machines are thoroughly described and the
methods of using them discussed in the lecture room. Because of the lim-
ited amount of time allowed for this subject the students are not taught
to operate the machines, but are given an opportunity to examine them at
rest, and later to observe them in operation.
233. Textile Chemistry I
This subject comprises a study of the properties and analysis of
water, coal, oil, soap, mordants and other chemicals used in the textile
industries. One lecture of forty-five minutes' duration is given each
week, and frequent conferences are held with the student in the labora-
tory. The student is required constantly to consult standard books of
reference in connection with his laboratory work. While the limited
time devoted to this course does not give enough time for the student
to make many complete analyses, it does illustrate to him the applica-
tion of the knowledge acquired in the previous subjects of qualitative
and quantitative analysis and organic chemistry.
234. Textile Chemistry II
This subject deals with coal, oil, soap, water, starches, sizing and
softening compounds and textile fabrics. The commercial methods of
obtaining the above substances, their usual composition and applica-
tion, is discussed in lectures. The laboratory work consists of the
analysis of typical compounds, obtained from the consumers when
possible. The detection of the various starches and fibers by the micro-
scope is taught, and their separation and estimation by chemical meth-
ods. Sizing and loading of fabrics is also discussed. This course is
very practical in its application, and accurate work is required.
235. Finishing of Cotton Fabrics
The object of this course is to give to the designer a knowledge of
the various methods used in finishing, and the effect of the same on
the appearance and construction of the fabric. Simple methods of
distinguishing between different fibers and finishes, filled and pure
starched cloths, are taught. The instruction is given by means of one
lecture a week and two hours' laboratory practice.

of $3 is charged each day student, except first year Juniors, to be used for
assisting in the maintenance of athletics in the school.
All fees are due at the beginning of each school year.
Evening Students. — No tuition fee is charged evening students. Stu-
dents enrolled in the Chemistry and Dyeing Course are required to make
a deposit of $5 for breakage. In case the breakage caused by any stu-
dent does not equal the amount of his deposit, the balance is returned to
him at the close of the school year, but if the breakage is in excess of this
deposit, the student is charged the additional amount. Evening students
are required to supply themselves with such books and materials as are
recommended by the school, but this charge is small.
SCHOOL HOURS
The school hours for the day classes are from 8.30 to 12 each morning
except Saturdays, with afternoon sessions from 1.30 to 4.30 except Sat-
urdays. For sessions of evening classes see pages 29 and 30.
EXAMINATIONS, CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS
Written examinations are held twice a year, and other tests from
time to time to determine the standing of students in their work.
The final examination is held at the end of the spring term. Results of
these examinations, together with the student's marks recorded from
recitations, practical demonstrations and student's books, are taken into
account in ranking students at the end of each year and for graduation.
Unsatisfactory progress necessitates the student repeating his studi»
Diplomas are given on the satisfactory completion of a course of study
extending over a period of three years in connection with each course,
if the student's record is otherwise satisfactory.
Students taking special courses in most cases, are entitled to a certifi-
cate if they honorably and satisfactorily complete the course of instruc-
tion scheduled.
Day students are required to spend as much time daily out of school
hours in study, such as recording lectures and other notes, as may be
necessary to maintain proper standing. The students' books are ex-
amined by the instructors periodically, and the care and accuracy with
which they are kept is considered in ranking students.
34
CONDUCT
Students are required to conduct themselves in an orderly and gen-
tlemanly manner while in attendance at the school. When the conduct
of any student is considered by the Principal of the school detrimental
to its best interests, he will be suspended by him and the case reported
to the Board of Trustees for action.
Any student who presents at any time work as his own which he has
not performed, or tries to pass an examination by dishonorable means,
shall be regarded as having committed a serious offence.
Students shall exercise due care in the use of the school apparatus
and machinery. All breakages and accidents must be reported at once
to the instructor in charge, and the student will be held liable for any
wilful damage or the result of gross carelessness.
ATTENDANCE
Day students taking the regular courses are required to attend every
exercise of the school; special students, every exercise called for by
their schedules. For every case of absence or tardiness students must
present an excuse to the Principal. A certain number of unsatisfactory
excuses will render the student liable to suspension and further action
if cause is sufficient.
When the attendance of an evening student is unsatisfactory he will
render himself liable to be dropped from the school.
BOARD AND ROOMS
New Bedford is unusually desirable as a residential city, and stu-
dents will find numerous houses of private families and boarding houses
where they may obtain room and board.
No requirements are made as to residence of out-of-town students,
although facilities are given by having addresses of suitable houses
on file at the school.
No definite estimate can be made of the cost, as this depends entirely
on the tastes of the student, but board and room may be obtained for
from $12 per week upwards.
J TOOLS AND MATERIALS
Students are required to purchase such materials, textbooks, tools
and apparatus as may be required from time to time by the school
authorities, or make deposits on such as are loaned to them. The sup-
plies required vary with the courses for which the students enter, the
cost being from $20 to $40 per year.
LIBRARY
The school maintains a library that contains all the best works on
carding and spinning, weaving, designing, knitting, dyeing and me-
chanics; also a consulting encyclopedia and an international dictionary.
Catalogues and pamphlets dealing with machinery or processes related
to textile work are also on file, as are all the leading textile journals
and trade papers. The students have access to the library during school
hours.
ATHLETICS
The school has an athletic association, and the students participate
actively in various sports and games. The school is equipped with a
35
gymnasium, locker room and shower baths. There are several athletic
fields open to the students for their outdoor sports. The management of
the school will give all reasonable encouragement and support to the
furtherance of healthful recreation and manly sports for its students.

EQUIPMENT
COTTON CARDING AND SPINNING DEPARTMENT
This department occupies nearly the entire first floor of the machinery
building, and has approximately 9,000 square feet of floor surface. The
equipment is large and diversified, enabling the students to become ac-
quainted with practically all the leading makes of machines found in the

A special feature of the equipment is the large number of models of
the principal parts of the different machines in this department. These
models are so mounted that the different settings and adjustments can
be made equally as well as on the machine itself, and thus enable the stu-
dent to grasp more readily the essential points, since the parts are much
more readily accessible.
