THE PENNSYLVANIA MUSEUM

AND

SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ART.

HISTORICAL SKETCH.

The Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art
was incorporated on the twenty-sixth day of February, 1876,
for the purpose, as stated in its charter, of establishing "for
the State of Pennsylvania, in the City of Philadelphia, a Mu-
seum of Art in all its branches and technical applications and
with a special view to the development of the Art Industries
of the State, to provide instruction in Drawing, Painting,
Modeling, Designing, etc., through practical schools, special
libraries, lectures and otherwise."

The purpose of the institution as thus defined is dis-
tinctly industrial. The collections at Memorial Hall, where the
Museum is located, embrace examples of art work of every
description ; but as the city already possessed, in the Penn-
sylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, an institution devoted to
the advancement of the Fine Arts, it was determined by the
founders to make the collections of the Pennsylvania Mu-

seum as largely as possible illustrative of the application of
Art to industry, and the instruction in the School has con-
stant reference to a similar purpose.

The institution owes its origin to the increased interest
in Art and Art Education aw?.kened by the Centennial Ex-
hibition of 1876.

Pending the incorporation of the institution, a fund of
^25,000 was subscribed with which to make purchases
at the Exhibition. In the selection of objects, the trus-
tees had the benefit of the advice of the foreign commis-
sioners to the Exhibition, and, in several instances, the insti-
tution was the recipient of valuable gifts from individual ex-
hibitors. Around the nucleus thus formed the Museum has
grown by purchase, gift and bequest to its present proportions,
numbering in its collections upward of ten thousand objects.
The major part of the collection of the products and man-
ufactures of British India, shown at the Centennial Exhibi-
tion, was presented to the Museum by the British Government
at the close of that Exhibition. It occupies the whole of the
west corridor at Memorial Hall.

The Moore memorial collection of objects of Art, pre-
sented to the Museum by Mrs. Bloomfield-Moore as a memorial
of her late husband, occupies the entire east corridor. It
contains exquisite examples of Lace, Embroidery, Fans,
Jewelry, Pottery and Porcelain, Metal Work, Enamels, Carved
Work in Ivory and in Wood, Tapestries and Pictures.

The Museum also possesses several smaller collections,
sufficiently complete in themselves to be regarded as fairly
representative of the departments to which they belong. Of
these the Caspar Clark collection of Persian Metal Work, the
Vaux collection of Etruscan Pottery, and the Fulgence collec-
tion of Textiles are perhaps the most important.

In addition to its actual possessions the Museum is con-
stantly receiving accessions in the form of loans of a more or
less permanent character, by which the element of freshness
is secured, and popular interest in the collections continually
renewed.

The purpose of the School is to furnish such instruction
in Drawing, Painting, Modeling, Carving and Designing as is
required by designers, superintendents and workmen in the

10

various Constructive and Decorative Arts, and to serve as a
Training School for teachers of these branches.

It was opened during the winter of 1877-78 in temporary
rooms in Industrial Art Hall, at Broad and Vine Streets. It
was afterward removed to the rooms of the Franklin Insti-
tute, at 15 South Seventh Street, and again in 1880 to the
building 1709 Chestnut Street, where it remained until its re-
moval, in 1884, to the building which it occupies at present.
The classes were very small for several years, but the attend-
ance has increased rapidly since 1884.

Up to the time of this last removal the work of the classes
-was confined to the general courses in Drawing, Painting and
Modeling, with constant regard to the needs of the indus-
tries, it is true, but without attempting to provide instruction
in any of the occupations themselves, which it was hoped
would be directly benefited by the training which the students
received here.

The need of providing facilities for such technical in-
struction, however, became apparent very early in the history
of the School, as it was seen that only by this means could
the proper direction be given to such purely artistic training
as the School had to offer, by familiarizing the students with
the processes by which any industrial application of design
would have to be made.

The Committee desires to call especial attention to the
work accomplished by the Department of Weaving and
Textile Design.

Establishment of the Department of Weaving and
Textile Design.

The Philadelphia Association of Textile Manufacturers
was formed in 1882, and among the objects for which it was
specially created was the fostering of technical education.
Its members represented the progressive element of the
manufacturing community of Philadelphia and vicinity.
These gentlemen were fully aware of the progress of techni-
cal schools for the Textile Arts in Germany, France and
England, and were persuaded that the United States could
not hope to maintain the best market for her products unless
those products combined the highest skill in manufacture and

II

the best taste in design. At that time no thorough school
existed in this country, and it was necessary to begin at the
foundation of the work, without previous knowledge of the
exact methods to be adopted, or the means to be employed to
reach the desired end.

It was apparent that considerable money must be raised
to properly lay the foundation for a successful school. The
sum of $50,000 was fixed upon as the minimum amount with
which to inaugurate the work, and the Association endeavored
to obtain this sum from the manufacturers of Philadelphia by
subscription ; but, as with every public-spirited enterprise, a
few leading men and firms bore the burden of the work, and
the subscriptions finally closed at $35,000, all of which was
subscribed with the understanding that no call should be
made unless the entire $50,000 was secured. The sum was
never reached, and the whole enterprise seemed likely to be
abandoned.

At this juncture Mr. Theodore C. Search, who had been
actively engaged in the effort to raise the $50,000, despairing
of success in that direction, concluded to assume the re-
sponsibility of attempting the work without the aid of any
subscriptions.

The project was made known to the Trustees of The
Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, who very
kindly placed rooms in their school building at his disposal,
without charge. Teachers were engaged, two Jacquard looms
were ordered, and a night class of enthusiastic students or-
ganized in 1883. The outfit was necessarily limited, but was
increased without delay, as experience showed the needs to
be supplied. Only men of acknowledged skill were engaged
as teachers, a fact which greatly assisted the projectors of the
enterprise, and won for the School the confidence of the
community.

After the School had been in operation for a few weeks,
the fact of its actual existence became known to Mr. William
Arrott and Mr. Thomas Dolan, who specially requested that
they might divide the burden of its expenses with Mr. Search,
and at once joined in the work. Matters thus rested while
the School made most active progress.

Some time afterward at a meeting of the Philadelphia Tex-

12

tile Association the School project was again discussed, and the
Association decided that it would be wise to sustain the en-
terprise, and recommended the subscribers to the ^50,000
fund to turn over the amount of their subscriptions to its use.
Nearly $30,000 out of the original $35,000 was trans-
ferred in this way ; twenty-five per cent, of which was
authorized to be paid in for the use of the School in cash.
These subscribers were as follows :

The following season. President Wm. Piatt Pepper, of
The Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art, under-
took to raise funds for the erection of a building for the use
of the School. He succeeded, within a very few days, in
securing the amount needed ; the building was completed in
time for the new school year.

The leading manufacturers of machinery responded very
generously to an appeal to supply the institution with the very
best machinery ; and the evening class of 1884-85 was pro-
gressive and enthusiastic, acknowledging the great benefit
they derived from their connection with the School.

In September, 1885, the instructors were regularly en-
gaged to give their whole time to the School, and a day class
was organized, specially to prepare young men for the higher
departments of the work, by means of a regular course of
instruction, extending over a period of three years.

The season of 1885-86 was prosperous, and proved con-
clusively that such a school must not only be a great addition
to a manufacturing community like Philadelphia, but an ele-
ment of strength to the whole country. Friends of the enter-
prise visited the best schools of Europe in the interest of this
institution, and whenever methods were found superior to our

13

own, they were unhesitatingly put into practice, until to-day
the management feel that they are entirely ready to supply
the want that has so long been pressing on the country.

It is no longer incumbent upon anyone to visit Europe
for technical instruction in -Textile Art, as this School is fully
prepared to supply technical information on all subjects con-
nected therewith: Designing, Weaving, Dyeing, Cleansing of
raw materials, all being provided for, as shown by the
curriculum.

Indeed in several important respects the superiority of
the School over any of its European rivals is acknowledged.
These advantages are of two kinds. First, the association of
the technical instruction with artistic culture is more direct
and complete than in any European school whose mission is
so distinctly technical as this. Pupils of the Pennsylvania
School are provided with opportunities for carrying their
individual work to completion in a much more liberal manner
than is allowed in the European schools, where the rule is to
arrange the work of the weaving rooms ; to grade the work
required by the Course ; to adjust all machinery ; to make all
warps, etc., at the beginning of the year, a few designs only
being selected from among all those produced by pupils, to be
executed during the year, the students passing from one loom
to another, assisting with the weaving and other technical pro-
cesses involved, at first in those that are simple, and then in
the more complicated, but still without any work being con-
secutive in the case of any individual student, and without
any direct relation between the work executed and his own
design. In the Pennsylvania School, on the other hand, the
individual student has an opportunity to work out his own
designs in the fabric. Every step in the process of production,
from the first sketch to the finished product, is his own work.
The advantages of this method are not only apparent to any
intelligent observer, but ample testimony to its efficiency has
been furnished by pupils who have attended some of the best
European schools before coming here, and who cheerfully
testify to the superiority of the Pennsylvania School.

14

LOCATION.

The School is located in the building, 1336 Spring Gar-
den Street, which has been purchased by the Trustees with
funds provided for this purpose by the Associate Committee
of Women, and adapted to the needs of the classes in the
most thorough manner. Ample provision has been made for
the comfort of students, and every convenience furnished that
will facilitate the work of the classes.

The work in each department or class is carried on in a
room by itself, so that the annoyances and interruptions in-
separable from the assembling of large classes and different
grades of work in a common room are avoided.

The building contains a Lecture-Room ; a Library and
Reading-Room ; a room for Elementary Work from casts
and models ; a gallery for Advanced Work from the cast ;
one for the Life Class ; a room for the Grinding and Prepara-
tion of Colors ; one for the Work in Applied Design ; one for
Modeling ; one for Wood Carving ; and a suite of rooms for
the Class in Weaving and Textile Design. The Chemical
Laboratory and Dye House are located at 1346 and 1348
Spring Garden Street.

The Associate Committee of "Women.

The School is under the immediate supervision, and re-
ceives the active support, of the Associate Committee of
Women, who act conjointly with the Board of Trustees in
managing the affairs of the Pennsylvania Museum and School
of Industrial Art.

This Committee now numbers thirty women, each and
all zealously active in promoting the best interests of the cor-
poration, with especial reference to the creation and support
of such an Industrial School in connection therewith as those
most competent to judge of the educational needs of the city
have long desired to see established here.

The Committee was organized in 1883, and it has (besides
greatly increasing the list of members, by whose subscrip-
tions the Institution is largely supported) paid over since
that time to the Trustees $27,400 for carrying on the work
of the School and advancing the interests of the whole In-
stitution.

School Year.

The next School year of thirty-six weeks begins on Thurs-
day, October ist, 1891, and ends June 13th, 1892. The
evening classes open on Monday, October 5th, and close April
3d. There is a vacation of one week at Christmas. The
School is also closed on legal holidays and on the Friday fol-
lowing Thanksgiving Day.

Hours of Study — Day Classes.

The hours of study for the day classes are from nine
o'clock to one, and from two to four every day in the week
except Saturday.

Evening Classes.

Evening classes in all the branches are in session from
October until April, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and
Fridays, from half-past seven to half-past nine o'clock. Thurs-
day evening in each week is devoted to lectures.

16

Requirements for Admission.

Applicants for admission are expected to be as proficient
in the common English branches as the completion of the
Grammar School Course would imply. It is also desired that
pupils should be fairly well grounded in a knowledge of free-
hand drawing; but proficiency in this branch is not required as
a condition for admission, and pupils who are deficient in this
respect will be given an opportunity, and furnished With every
facility, for making up such deficiency. Students in the Tex-
tile School must also pass an examination in Arithmetic
(through percentage).

Scholarships.

In consideration of an annual appropriation to the School
by the Legislature of Pennsylvania, each county in the State
is entitled to one free scholarship in any department of the
School for the full course of three years. These appoint-
ments are made by the Governor of the State, usually on the
recommendation of the County Superintendent of Schools.

Five free scholarships are also competed for annually by
pupils from the advanced classes of the grammar schools of
the city of Philadelphia. Application for admission to this
competition should be made through the Principal of the
School from which the applicant comes to the Board of
Public Education, 713 Filbert Street.

Materials for Study.

Instruments and materials for study must be provided by
the students. All articles required in any class are for sale at
the School at less than retail prices, and students are expected
to purchase them here. The cost is usually about $12.00 per
year for a day student, and $5.00 per year for an evening
student.

Each student is provided with a locker, in which drawing-
boards and materials are to be placed before leaving the
class-room. On receiving the key the student must deposit
fifty cents, which, when the key is returned, will be refunded,
provided the return is made within one month after the date
at which the student's term expires ; otherwise the deposit is
forfeited.

17

Students will be furnished with facilities for working at the
Museum in Memorial Hall when this is desired.

Board.

Good board may be obtained in the vicinity of the School
for from $4.50 a week upward. A list of desirable boarding-
houses is kept at the School, and will be furnished to the stu-
deat on application.

Examinations.

Examinations are held semi-annually, in January and
May, on the results of which, taken in connection with the
quality of the work done in the class-room and regularity of
attendance, the standing of students is made to depend.

Monthly reports of attendance and standing are made to
parents and guardians, and students whose progress is shown
by these reports to be unsatisfactory for three months in
succession will not be allowed to continue their studies in the
School.

Discipline. '

The discipline of the School is made as simple as possible,
and students are made to feel that as the requirements are
definitely stated, and the instruction in each branch given at
well-known hours, the progress of each is substantially in his
own hands.

All students, however, are expected to be prompt and
regular in their attendance on all the exercises and lectures
of their Course, and irregularity in this respect will be regarded
as sufificient reason for dismissal.

Polite and orderly conduct is also insisted upon at all
times, and any damage to School property must be made
good by the student causing it. No book, chart or other
educational appliance will be allowed to leave the building
under any circumstances.

All work must be put away before the student leaves the
building. Lost articles may be inquired for of the janitor.
Students are requested to give prompt notice of change of
address.

Conversation should be avoided during heurs of study,
and loud talking or laughing under any circumstances is pro-

18

hibited. Pupils must not wander through the rooms or lounge
about the seats of other pupils. They are appealed to for the
preservation of order and neatness in the class-rooms.

Employment for Graduates.

The School doesnot undertake to find places for graduates,
but applications for teachers and designers are constantly being
received by the Principal, and students desiring employment
are requested to notify him to that effect.

No pupil, who has not spent at least one year in the School,
will be recommended for a position either as teacher or designer.

ART SCHOOL

COURSES OF STUDY.

The general course of study embraces Drawing and
Painting in water colors, from models, casts, draperies and
still life ; Lettering ; Plane and Descriptive Geometry ; Pro-
jections, with their application to machine construction and
to cabinet work and carpentry ; Shadows, Perspective, Mod-
eling and Casting; Practice in the use of Color, with special
reference to the needs of designers — especially in textiles ;
Historical Ornament, study from the Living Model and Ori-
ginal Design. The Instrumental Drawing is taught by means
of class lessons or lectures, and lectures are also given on An-
atomy and Historical Ornament, upon which examinations
for certificates are based.

Graduate Course.

Graduates from the general course may continue in the
School for advanced study without payment of fees, on con-
dition that they devote a certain amount of time to teaching
in the School, or to other work, for the promotion of the
interests of the Institution.

20

Teachers' Course.

This course is arranged for the benefit of those who,
while unable to devote as much time to the work of this
School as would be required to complete the regular course
covered by the certificate, are yet desirous of properly qual-
ifying themselves, either to teach drawing in elementary
schools or to make a good use of the blackboard in teaching
other branches.

Especial attention is paid to this last consideration, and
classes in blackboard work, under the personal instruction of
the Principal, meet every Tuesday afternoon for just such
practice as is particularly desired by kindergartners and pri-
mary school-teachers.

Course in Wood Carving.

Pupils who do not wish to take the full course in Model-
ing and Carving, can take Carving alone as a Special Course.
The work is thoroughly practical in its character and is in-
tended to familiarize the pupil with the methods of the shop
and to enable him to occupy at once a position as a workman
considerably in advance of any which he could expect to fill
without this preliminary training.

Course in Stained-Glass "Work.

This course has been established to furnish pupils an op-
portunity to acquire a knowledge of the beautiful art of work-
ing in colored glass amid associations which alone can give to
its practice that character to which it is certainly entitled
among the crafits. It is taught not merely as a trade, but as
an art, and the student who learns to do not one branch
alone, as is usually the case, but all branches, also learns to
produce beautiful original effects, as well as to do accurate
and well-finished work.

Preparatory Course.

A preparatory course is arranged for pupils who are not
sufficiently advanced in their studies to enter the Regular
Course.

21

Class for Teachers in Public and Other Schools.

Special arrangements are made for the accommodation of
teachers, as follows : In addition to the facilities afforded by
the evening classes, persons employed as teachers, in either
public or private schools, may attend every Tuesday and
Thursday afternoon, from 2 o'clock until 4, without ex-
tra charge. - Particular attention is paid to blackboard work,
especially to such forms of it as are needed in kindergarten
and primary schools ; and every Tuesday afternoon is devoted
to this kind of practice, under the personal instruction of
the Principal.

Lectures.

Lectures on the Anatomy of the Human and of Animal
Form, as applied to Decorative Art, on Harmony of Color,
Water-Color Painting and related subjects are given through-
out the year.

Class instruction in the Geometrical branches is given
every Wednesday morning, and lectures on Original Design,
on Art History and on Perspective are given by the Princi-
pal every Monday morning from 11 o'clock to half -past 12,
and every Thursday evening. All first-year students are ex-
pected to attend these lectures.

Lectures on Color Harmony and on Anatomy are given
Fridays from 12 to i o'clock. Mr. Dana's lectures on Water-
Color Painting are given every other Friday from half past 9
until 12.

TEXTILE SCHOOL.

COURSES OF STUDY.

The general course of instruction embraces the Theory
of Textile Designing and its practical applications to the art
of weaving and related branches — scouring, bleaching and
dyeing of yarns and materials. In addition, chemistry is
taught with special reference to the needs of the different
branches of the textile industries.

The course of instruction extends over a period of three
years, and is especially adapted to meet the wants of those
desiring to study cloth manufacturing, designing of textiles,

33

weaving and dyeing. The course is intended to give the
student a thorough scientific and practical knowledge of these
subjects.

Lectures.

Lectures are given on the different materials used in the
Textile industries, such as wool, cotton, silk, mohair, jute,
flax, etc., their source, chemical and physical structure of the
fibre, the action of chemicals on the different fibres, and their
affinity for the various dyestuffs.

Having studied the raw materials, the different pro-
cesses by which they are converted into yarns, such as sort-
ing, cleansing, carding and spinning of wools, mixing, open-
ing, carding, drawing and spinning of cotton, etc., are taken
up systematically.

Dyeing. '

In connection with the department of dyeing, there is a
laboratory fitted up in the most complete manner with appar-
atus and chemicals for carrying on experimental work, as
well as for the practical applications of scientific principles to
the art of dyeing. The students work in a small dye-house
and learn, in a practical way, not only the art of dyeing, but
also how the yarns are scoured and bleached. From time to
time, the class visits the large dye-houses to be found among
the many large manufacturing establishments in and around
Philadelphia and view the methods of carrying out their
student work on a large scale.

Special Course in Dyeing.

For those who desire to take up the course of dyeing
alone, a special course is arranged, the student spending the
greater portion of his time in the laboratory at practical
work.

President IMiller's wise niansgenient, has teccme a great success, and has passed from it
days of speculation to be a recognized power and influence in business life, so much so-
that every available vacancy is filled. 1 he influx of new students this season has been so
large that no more can at present be admitted, and any applicant must enter his name
and wait for a vacancy. Designing, modeling, carving, dyeing and weaving are the-
thing's taught in their highest branches, and the success in these has been so great that
the Potters' Association of the United States has voted to contribute substantially to
the regular support of the School that the ceramic art can be included in its curriculum.

"American "Wool Reporter," Boston, Tebruary 13, 1891.

From the commencement this School has numbered among its Board of Officers the
leading Manufacturers, who have devoted a large share of attention to the development of
the work. At this School young men and women are thoroughly instructed in the useful
arts, including drawing, painting, modeling, wood carving, textile desioning, weaving,
chemistry and dyeing. In order to thoroughly appreciate the work of this School, a per-
sonal visit will convince all that it is filling a mucii-needed want. So thoroughly is this
School appreciated that with its present accommodations it is overcrowded, and several
students are awaiting vacancies. And the need today is a much larger building where-
the work of the School can be more eftectually carried on. During the past year, by the
generous contributions of our leading textile machinery manufacturers, generally, the
practical work has been brought up to a state of perfection second to no other institution
of its character in this country or in Europe.

" The 3Ianufacturer," Philadelphia, Marcli 2, 1891.

The Pennsvlvani.a. Museum and School of Industrial Art.

The Manufacturer notes, with special interest, the January report of the above-
named Institution. It shows that we have in our midst one of the most progressive
schools in the country : one which stands without a rival in its peculiar course of study,
and one which not only the decorative artists of our city look to for intelligent progress,
but which also inspires our Philadelphia textile manufacturers with the warmest interest.
It would be speaking less than the whole truth to set such limitations to its influence, as
the School is now almost national in its character. A constantly increasing demandfor
the skilled talent of the graduates is being received from the best manufacturing" districts
of the country, and the school is sure to leave the marks of its influence upon the indus-
trial community.

The managers are tborough-goino: and energetic. Every want in the development of
the work is at once met, nothing being permitted to interfere with its progress. The
Mamifactiirer is glad to be able to say that much of this rapid development in the Tex-
tile Department is due to the interest taken by many of our leading manufacturers, and,
while commending- this especial feature of the School, we do not desire to detract one
particle from the splendid w^ork done by the enthusiastic men and women in the other
departments of art, a work which has long since made itself felt in many decorative and
mechanical industries, not only in Philadelphia but elsewhere. Yet it is none the less true
that the generous subscriptions of our textile interests established and maintained the Tex-
tile Department and made it the first school of the country.

Extract from the "Art Amateur" for January, 1891.

There is, it may be safely said, no other art school in the United States, and possibly
no other in the world, where a student can acquire in so short a time that technical
knowledge which makes his labor of higher market value, or attain it in a greater degree,
than at this one.

The School endeavors to qualify its young American students that they may be
equipped to supersede the Scotch, German or French designers, who, taking advantage
of the unpractical training of our home talent, come over here to draw large salaries. A
graduate of this School may feel assured that, if industrious and energetic, he is in no
danger of being pushed to the wall in the struggle for existence that rages vigorously in
our large cities : and it may be safely said that the students of few art schools dare vent-
ure a similar belief in the marketable value of the education they have received.

From Frank P. Bennett «& Co., Pi-oprletors "American AVool Reporter,"

Boston, Mass.

Mr. Theodore C. Search, Philadelphia. June 15, 1SS9.

Dear Sir:— Our Mr. Bennett having been greatly surprised and pleased at the excellent
and original work which is being done in the Textile Department of the Pennsylvania
Museum and School of Industrial Art. making a degree of progress in American technical
education, which is not being applied to the textile mdustries to anything like the same
extent anywhere else in the United Sates we desire to make a very modest testimonial of
our appreciation of the enterprise by offering a prize of twenty-five dollars for the most
meritorious work by any pupil who has completed two j'ears of study in the School at the
time of the next graduating exercises.

The prize shall be called " The American Wool Reporter Prize," and awarded upon
such method of decision as to the merits of the pupil's work as may seem best to you.
Such technical education as this School is promoting seems to us more important than the
tariff. Y'ours respectfully,

Frank P. Bennett & Co.

"The Times," Philadelphia, Jime 14, 1891.

The School is carrying on a most important work in a way that is unequaled in this
country, and is doing it for the public benefit with very little public aid. The State ought
long ago to have recognized its duty to this admirable institution, and it is earnestly hoped
that the Governor may not find it necessary to withhold the very modest appropriation of
$10,000 voted by the last Legislature and now awaiting his approval. No more proper use
of public money can be made than for public industrial education. The State should rec-
ognize in the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art its best memorial of
the great Centennial.

"The Press," Philadelphia, Jnne 15, 1891.

The Legislature acted most worthily when it passed a bill appropriating gio,ooo for
the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art in this city, which measure is
still in the hands of the Governor. The institution, an outgrowth of the Centennial Ex-
position, is not confined in its usefulness to this city, but each county in the State is en-
titled to a free scholarship. Its Board of Officers comprise some of the best known and
most substantial business and professional men, Governor Pattison and Mayor Stuart
being members (?-V;(9^«o. All branches of artisticdesigning as applied to manufactures
are taught at the School, and the pupils are thus fitted for positions both more remunera-
tive and more useful than if they were compelled to seek employment without such in-
struction. It is a School which is in every way deserving of the most generous encour-
agement.

"The Philadelphia Kecord," June 14, 1891.

The bill appropriating $10,000 for the Pennsylvmia Museum and Schoolof InHustrial
Art, which passed the Legislature and is now in the hands of the Governor, would afford
valuab'e aid to a.n important adjunct of the industrial resources of this community. The
benefits of this School are widespread, as each county in the State is entitled to a free
scholarship. The institution, which is located at 1336 Sprinp; (rarden Street, is an out-
come of the Centennial Exposition. Here are taught all methods and branches of artistic
-designing as applied to manufacturing. When its pupils graduate, they are able to secure
employment as designers at lucrative salaries. V'oung men who might be otherwise
obliged to take positions as operatives in a factory, after graduating" fi'om this School,
readily command $50 a week as designers. It is through the development of artistic
taste in this direction that industrial supremacy may be secured and maintained.

" The Press," Philadelphia, Jnne 13, 1891.

The Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art is, at cnce. one of the most
useful and best known of the educational institutions of the city. It has attracted atten-
tion in this country and in Europe. Its methods have profoundly modified practical
technical training elsewhere, and its graduates obtain positions and discharge duties
which place the success of the School Beyond question. Like all higher education of the
best order, this School deserves and demands the support and aid of the State.

"The Dry Goods Economist," >«ew York, Fehruary 7, 1891.

Our Philadelphia correspondent writes under date of Feb 4:— On Monday evening
the first working reception of the season was given at the School of Industrial Art, in Phila-
delphia, and many ladies and gentlemen made an inspection of the premises and the man-
ner in which the students were taught the principles of technical education. Very few
can have gone away without being impressed with tl»e efficiency of the training, and the
influences the students of the School must exert in the future in their competition in
business life against the highly-trained artistic designers of Europe. The School, under
