AMERICAN 

^TEEL  SPLIT  PULLEY 

Efficient — with  a  reputation 

Light  strong  steel-constructed  to  minimize  air  resistance — arms  edge  on 
to  cut  the  air  saves  enormously  in  power.  Grooved  air  space  diminishes 
air  cushion  under  belt — a  parting  pulley — not  necessary  to  strip  shaft. 
Interchangeable  parting  bushings  to  fit  different  sizes  of  shafts. 
"American"  pulleys  transmit  maximum  of  belt  pull  with  minimum  belt 
slip.  Save  coal  or  current  cost — endure  greater 
speed  and  stand  up  under  greater  strains  than 
other  standard  metal  pulleys. 

A  reputation  based  on  the  efficient  performance  of 
over  Three  Million  pulleys  sold  in  past  twenty  years. 


Write  us  today  for  full  information 
and  prices  on  this  standard  of  steel 
pulleys.       No  obligation,   of  course.

THE  HUMIDIFYING  SYSTEM  EMPLOYED. 

The  Automatic  Controller 

we  install  is  a  practical  and  dependable  instrument  of  precision, 
that  will  control  the  humidity  and  heat  of  a  room  with  a  variation 
of  less  than  I'/i  per  cent  of  relative  humidity,  no  matter  what  may 
be  the  climatic  conditions. 

While  extremely  sensitive  to  variations  in  the  atmosphere,  and 
very  delicate  in  its  control,  still,  at  the  same  time,  it  is  abso- 
lutely positive  in  operation,  and  entirely  reliable  under  any 
and  all  conditions. 

It  "feels"  or  "senses"  the  temperature  and  moisture  of  the 
air. 

Over  1,000  users  of  our  System  bear  testimony  to  Superiority  and 

Efficiency  of  our  equipments.

Historical  Sketch 

of  the 

Pennsylvania  Museum  and 

School  of  Industrial  Art 


The  Pennsylvania  Museum  and  School 
Origin  and  Qf   Industrial  Art,  an  institution  the  orij^in 

Purpose  ^        ,  .    ,  ,  ,        .  ,    .  ^ 

of  which  was  due  to  the  uicreased  mterest 
in  art  and  art  education  awakened  by  the  Centennial  Exhibi- 
tion, was  incorporated  on  the  twenty-sixth  day  of  February, 
1876,  for  the  purpose,  as  stated  in  the  charter,  of  establishing 
"for  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  in  the  City  of  Philadelphia, 
a  Museum  of  Art  in  all  its  branches  and  technical  applica- 
tions, and  with  a  special  view  to  the  development  of  the 
Art  Industries  of  the  State,  to  provide  instruction  in  Draw- 
ing, Painting,  Modeling,  Designing,  etc.,  through  practical 
schools,  special  libraries,  lectures  and  otherwise." 

The  purpose  of  the  institution  as  thus 

Location  of        defined   is    distinctlv   industrial.       The   col- 
Museum  , 

lections    at    Memorial    Hall,    in    Fairmount 

Park,  where  the  Museum  is  located,  embrace  examples  of 
art  work  of  every  description.  It  was  determined  by  the 
founders  to  make  the  collections  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Museum  as  largely  as  possible  illustrative  of  the  applica- 
tion of  art  to  industry,  and  the  instruction  in  the  school  has 
had  constant  reference  to  a  similar  purpose. 

In  the  selection  of  objects,  the  trustees 
Source  of  j-^^^|  |-|-,g  benefit  of  the  advice  of  the  foreisfn 

Original  .      .  .        . 

Collection  Commissioners    to    the    Exhibition,    and,    in 

several    instances,    the    institution    was    the 

recipient    of    valuable    gifts     from     individual    exhibitors. 

Around  the  nucleus  thus  formed,  the  Museum  has  grown 

11 


by  purchase,  gift  and  bequest  to   its   present  proportions, 
numbering  in  its  collection  upwards  of  30,000  objects. 

The  Museum  possesses  several  special 
^^f^'^^  collections,    sufficiently    complete    in    them- 

Additions  -  '■ 

selves  to  be  regarded  as  representative  of 
the  departments  to  which  they  belong.  Of  these,  the  collec- 
tion of  American  pottery,  made  by  Air.  Edwin  A.  Barber; 
the  collections  of  coins  and  medals ;  the  collections  of 
Etruscan  and  Greco-Roman  Pottery ;  the  John  T.  Morris 
collection  of  glass ;  a  collection  of  mediaeval  wrought  iron 
and  the  collection  of  textiles,  are  perhaps  the  most  important. 
The  Aluseum  is  visited  by  about  500,000  persons  a  year. 

The    School    was    opened    during  the 
?he"schooi          ^^''"ter  of    1877-78,   in  temporary  quarters, 

at  Broad  and  Vine  Streets,  in  the  building 
since  known  as  Industrial  Hall.  It  was  removed  in  1879  to 
the  rooms  of  the  Franklin  Institute,  at  15  South  Seventh 
Street,  and  again,  in  1880,  to  the  building  1709  Chestnut 
Street,  where  it  remained  until  its  removal,  in  1884,  to  1336 
Spring  Garden  Street. 

The    munificent    gift    of    $100,000,    by 
scholr  °*        ^^^-    ^^'"^-    ^^'eightman,    and    the    generous 

response  of  the  public  of  Philadelphia  to  an 
appeal  for  assistance,  by  which  a  like  amount  was  raised 
by  popular  subscriptions  during  the  spring  of  1893,  enabled 
the  institution  to  acquire  the  magnificent  property  at  the 
northwest  corner  of  Broad  and  Pine  Streets,  which  it  occu- 
pies at  present.  The  property,  with  a  front  of  200  feet  on 
Broad  Street  and  400  feet  on  Pine  Street,  is  by  far  the  most 
spacious  and  most  advantageous  in  its  location  of  any  estab- 
lishment in  America  that  is  devoted  to  the  uses  of  a  school 
of  art,  situated  as  it  is  on  the  principal  street  and  in  the  very 
heart  of  the  city. 

Up  to  the  time  of  the  removal  to  Spring 
First  Courses     Garden  Street,  the  work  of  the  classes  was 

of   study  r         1

corresponding  development  of  division  of  labor  and  special- 
ization of  production.  This  specialization  has  l)een  carried 
so  far  that  it  has  become  virtually  impossible  for  a  general 
and  comprehensive  knowledge  of  the  business  as  a  whole 
to  be  obtained  in  the  tvpical  modern  mill,  and  the  young 
man  who  aspires  to  the  possession  of  such  knowledge  must 
seek  it  elsewhere.  It  is  apparent,  then,  tliat  the  causes 
which  have  so  greatly  increased  the  demand  for  the  trained 
master,  and  those  which  have  conspired  to  prevent  his 
development  in  the  mill  itself,  are  one  and  the  saiue,  and  the 
Textile  School  has  come  into  existence  simidv  to  meet  the 
advancing  requirements  of  the  textile  trade. 

!Men  were  selected  as  instructors  not  onlv  on  account 
of  their  iitness  to  teach,  but  l)ecause  of  their  extensive  and 
varied  experience  in  a  wide  field  of  industr_\'.  The  School 
dr)es  not  aim  to  supi)lant  practical  exjierience.  I)Ut  it  does

facture  of  textiles.  This  is  not  only  true  of  textiles  as  a 
whole,  but  the  leading  position  which  it  holds  in  various 
lines  of  textiles  testifies  to  the  diversity  as  well  as  to  the 
importance  of  its  industries. 

The  United  States  Census  of  1914  gives  the  following: 

"The  State  of  Pennsylvania  contains  textile  establish- 
ments with  an  invested  capital  of  $242,281,000. 

"Philadelphia's  annual  production  of  worsted  yarns  and 
fabrics  is  valued  at  $27,000,000 ;  woolen  yarns  and  fabrics 
valued  at  $15,000,000;  carpets  and  rugs  valued  at  $22,628,- 
000 ;  cotton  goods  valued  at  $22,603,000 ;  silk  and  silk  goods 
valued  at  S8, 237, 000;  hosiery  and  knit  goods  valued  at 
$31,350,000. 

"Philadelphia  contains  736  S])inning,  weaving  and  knit- 
ting establishments ;  upwards  of  100  independent  dyeing 
and  finishing  works;  128  raw^  w'ool  dealers;  106  dealers  in 
cotton,  wool  and  w'orsted  yarns  ;  80  chemical  and  dyestutf 
firms ;  as  well  as  allied  interests  which  contril)ute  to  its 
enormous  production,  embracing  makers  of  machinery  for 
spinning,  weaving,  knitting,  dyeing,  finishing,  power  trans- 
mission and  mill  supplies. 

"There  are  55  prominent  men's  wear  and  dress  goods 
commission  houses  and  selling  agencies  in  the  city;  100 
jobbers  in  woolen,  cotton  and  silk  piece  goods ;  189  whole- 
sale clothing  and  104  women's  suit  and  clothing  manufac- 
turers." 

All  of  these,  together  with  the  large  department  stores, 
are,  in  themselves,  educating  factors  of  no  mean  importance. 
The  opportunity  of  inspecting  the  ever-changing  displays 
of  these  foremost  retail  establishments  is  of  great  value  to 
the  student,  and  is  only  one  of  the  many  advantages  which 
a  few  years'  residence  in  such  a  city  is  certain  to  possess  for 
the  ambitious  student,  apart  from  any  immediate  reference 
to  the  work  of  the  school. 

Environment  The  importance  of  artistic  efifect  in  tex- 

tile  products   cannot  be   overestimated,    for 
it  is  this  quality  which  first  attracts  the  purchaser's  attention.

The  School's  association  with  the  School  of  Aj^jjlied  x'Yrt 
•  affords  an  twct-jitional  <>]i]>(irtunit\-  for  training-  in  this  all- 
im])ortant  hranch  of  the  work.  The  huiklinos  of  the  Schools 
are  situated  on  the  same  plot  of  ground,  on  one  of  Phila- 
delphia's main  thoroughfares,  in  the  heart  of  the  city.  The 
student  may  arrange  for  more  or  less  artistic  trainini,^  in 
accordance  with  the  re(juirements  of  his  course  of  stud\',  hut 
in  any  event  he  works  in  an  artistic  atmosphere  and  prohts 
hy  the  refining-  iuHuence  which  it  exerts. 

Historical  '^ '^^'     I 'hiladelphia     Textile     School,   as 

hefore  noted,  was  organized  in  1SS4.  It 
represents  the  most  important  eff'ort  which  has  vet  heen 
made  in  America  to  organize  the  instruction  in  an  Art 
School,  with  direct  reference  to  its  application  to  the  actual 
needs  of  the  Ti:xtilk  Ixdi'strv. 

1  he  dewlopment  and  realization  of  this  purpose  were 
accomplished  through  the  generous  co-operation  and  sup- 
port of  the  n]ost  energetic  and  influential  memhers  of  the 
Philadelphia  Textile  Association. 

This  Association,   formed   in    l.S,S2,   had 
Influence  ''^^'1*^  prominent  among  the  ohjects  for  which 

it  was  created,  the  fostering  of  technical 
education.  At  that  time,  no  thorough  school  existed  in  this 
country,  and  it  was  necessary  to  begin  at  the  foundation 
of  the  work,  without  i)revious  knowledge  of  the  exact 
methods  to  be  adopted,  or  means  to  be  emploved  to  reach 
the  desired  end. 

The    initiative   in    this,   as    well   as   the 

Mr.   Search's  ,  ,  i  m       i 

Initiative  work    above    described,    was    taken    by    Mr. 

Theodore  C.  Search,  who  was  President  of 
the  Textile  Association,  as  well  as  Vice-President  and  Chair- 
man of  the  Committee  on  Instruction  of  the  Pennsylvania 
Museum  and  School  of  Industrial  Art.  Indeed,  he  assuiued 
at  tirst  the  entire  financial  responsibility  of  organizing  and 
ccpiipping  tlu'  Textile  School,  and  to  his  devoted  and  untiring 
service  in  its  ])eha]f,  from  its  first  ince])tion  to  its  i)resent 
high  state  of  development,  more  than  to  all  other  agencies 

19 


combined,  its  success  is  due.  Tliat  the  .Vssociatiou  took  the 
action  that  it  did  was  mainly  due  to  the  example  and  leader- 
ship of  Mr.  Search  and  a  few  members  who  were,  like 
him,  fully  alive  to  the  iiupcjrtance  oi  the  movement,  notaljly,

,    ^      ..  The   School  aims  to  make  the  instruc- 

Instruction 

tion  as  ])ractical  as  ])OSsible  without  losing- 
sight  of  the  fundamental  ])rinciples  which  it  is  the  main 
business  of  all  education  {o  imi)art.  The  instruction  consists 
of  lectures  and  class  exercises,  of  individual  investigation 
and  experiment,  and  the  actual  production  of  a  great  variety 
of  textiles.  These  latter  are  ])rought  out  in  commercial  pvu- 
portions  according  to  the  student's  ideas  and  in  accordance 
with  specifications  which  he  has  himself  ])lanned  in  minute 
detail,  the  constant  endeavor  being  to  encourage  originality 
and  to  direct  research  along  prohtalde  lines. 

Facilities  ^^^'^   Institution  possesses  an  extensive 

e(|tu'i)mcnt  unsurpassed  by  that  of  any 
siiuilar  institution  in  tlie  world.  It  consists  of  the  latest 
machinery  for  the  manufacture  of  yarns,  for  weaving,  finish- 
ing and  (heing.  All  of  these  machines  are  of  commercial 
proportions,  not  mere  working  models,  and  they  turn  out 
work  such  as  is  met  with  in  the  best  markets  of  the  day.  In 
addition  to  this  practical  equipment  the  different  dei)artments 
are  provided  with  the  a])paratus  necessary  for  conducting 
scientific   tests   and    examinations   of    fibres,   yarns,    fabrics, 

21 


dyestuft's.  oils,  waters,  etc.,  with  a  view^  to  locating  the  cause 
of  possible  defects.  The  buildings  in  which  the  School  is 
housed  are  admirably  suited  to  its  purposes,  affording  light 
in  quantities  sufficient  for  the  finest  work,  the  top  floors 
being  skylighted  throughout. 

The   breadth  of   the   School's   scope   is 

Scope  ^ 

the  factor  to  which  is  due  the  greatest 
measure  of  its  success.  Silk,  cotton,  wool  and  worsted  are 
studied  exhaustively,  and  while  some  of  the  courses  of  study 
are  so  arranged  that  a  student  may  confine  his  attention  to 
the  particular  fibre  in  which  he  is  most  interested,  the 
Regular  or  Diploma  Course  includes  work  in  all  of  the  mate- 
rials mentioned  above,  allowing  the  student  to  specialize  to  a 
certain  extent  in  the  third  year.  Unquestionably  the  gradu- 
ate of  this  course  is  fitted  for  better  work  in  any  one  of 
these  materials,  because  of  a  knowledge  of  the  peculiarities 
and  processes  involved  in  the  others.  The  best  time  to 
specialize  is  after  a  broad  foundation  has  been  laid. 

TIic  graduates  iclio  arc  most  successful  are  those  zvho 
Jiavc  taken  this  couil^rcJieiisiz'e  course,  even  though  they 
may  not  have  pursued  it  for  the  three  years  w^hich  its 
completion  requires. 

The   oroanization  consists   of   two   dis- 

Day   and  '^ 

Evening  tiuct  schools — day  and  evening.    The  course 

^'^*^^^*  in  the  former  requires  the  daily  attendance 

of  the  pupil  and  involves  a  good  deal  of  work  outside  of 
school  hours,  so  that  successful  pursuit  necessitates  the  giv- 
ing up  of  other  duties,  although  students  of  special  subjects 
may  take  partial  time  in  the  School  and  attend  to  outside 
duties  at  other  times. 

The  hours  of  the  evening  school  are  so  few  that  the 
student's  attention  is  necessarily  confined  to  two  or  three 
subjects ;  the  studies  are,  therefore,  largely  elective,  although 
earnest  effort  is  made  to  group  these  electives  in  the  most 
profitable  manner. 

^^  ^    ^  The   students  of  the  dav   school  come 

students 

from  all  parts  of  the  world.     Some  of  them 
22 


have  had  ]M-actical  (.■xperienct'.  and  otlicrs  come  directly  from 
schools  and  ccjUci^n-s,  the  latter  havin.i^  been  largely  repre- 
sented in  recent  years.  The  advantages  of  a  good  prelim- 
inary education  in  enabling  the  i)ossessor  to  obtain  a  quicker 
and  better  grasj)  of  principles  and  to  develop  them  to  better 
purpose,  are.  of  course,  very  great,  but  bright  men  who  have 
had  mill  experience  often  make  admirable  students  even 
without  the  advantages  of  a  high-school  preparation.  The 
students  of  the  evening  classes  are,  as  a  rule,  enga"-ed  in 
some  form  of  textile  work,  either  manufacturing  or  com- 
mercial. Many  of  them  come  from  a  considerable  distance.

Success  of  ,  J       I 

Graduates  oustrotcd    the   practical   utility   of   technical 

education  in  textiles  on  this  continent,  and 
the  steady  growth  of  the  Institution  is  due  to  nothiiuj  else, 
so  much  as  to  the  success  of  its  graduates.  'The  tiroad  and 
thorough  educational  policy  steadfastly  adhered  to  hy  those 
-ccho  shape  tlie  School's  character,  has  resulted  in  the  gradua- 
tion of  a  body  of  young  men  xvho  l>y  reason  of  the  breadth 
of  their  training  luvve  been  enabled  to  enter  all  fields  of  the 
work,  and  to-day  they  are  well  and  farorahly  known  in  ererv 
textile  section  of  any  importance.  'They  are  in  the  mill,  the 
dye-Iiousc,  the  conimission  house,  and  the  machine  builders, 
and  i^'herci'cr  found  they  are  proving  themselves  capable 
men  and  an  honor  to  their  alma  mater. 

The  School  does  not  undertake  to  tind  positions  for  its 
graduates,  but  incpu'ries  for  bright,  energetic,  well-trained 
men,  are  constantly  being  made,  and  it  alfords  the  officers 
only  pleasure  to  furnish  the  assistance  to  employer  and 
graduate,  which  introduction  implies. 

LECTURES 

In  addition  to  the  lectures  in  the  regular  course  of  in- 
struction, others  are  given  from  time  to  time  on  various 
topics  bearing  directly  on  the  textile  industries  bv  various 
well-known  men  of  the  country.  The  names  of  these  lec- 
turers, their  subjects  and  the  dates  of  their  lectures  are 
duly  announced  during  the  term.

SOCIAL  FEATURES 

The  Art  and  Textile  Club,  to  membership  in  which  any 
member  of  School  is  eligible,  is  the  exponent  of  the  social 
and  athletic  side  of  the  school  life ;  and  is  conducted  and 
supported  by  and  for  the  students. 

Its  equipment  includes  a  general  club  room  with  files  of 
textile  and  other  periodicals;  tables  for  chess  and  checkers; 
also  a  shuffle  board  and  pool  tables. 

The  membership  fee  is  $3.00  a  year,  and  is  collected  by 
the  Registrar  of  the  School  from  Textile  dav  students  when

Registrar  or  the  Treasurer  of  the  Club. 

REQUIREMENTS  FOR  ADMISSION 

Applicarits  for  admission  should  be  at  least  18  years 
of  age.  All  candidates  are  required  to  pass  an  entrance 
examination  (no  certificates  accepted)  to  show  that  they  are 
fully  qualified  to  pursue  profitably  the  work  of  their  re- 
spective courses. 
24 


In  general  the  in'eparalion  necessary  to  enable  an  appli- 
cant to  pursue  success! ull\-  either  of  the  prescribed  courses 
corresponds  with  that  aftorded  ])y  High  Schools  or  Acade- 
mies of  the  better  grade,  oti'ering  a  four-year  course  of 
study. 

ENTRANCE  EXAMINATIONS 

I'.ntrance  examinations  mav  be  taken  on  Idiursday, 
June  21st,  or  Thursdax-,  Septemljer  loth,  at  9  .V.  ]\I.  The 
examination  usualK'  takes  the  form  of  a  written  statement, 
such  as  a  letter  addressed  to  the  Director  or  a  descrii)tion  of 
some  topic  witli  which  the  applicant  is  familiar. 

The  examination  also  cox'ers  arithmetic,  including  frac- 
tions, decimals,  s((uare  root,  ratio,  proportion  and  per- 
centage. It  is  of  the  utmost  importance  that  the  students 
should  possess  a  read\'  command  ot  these  subjects  as  they 
affect  his  school,  and  subseijuent  textile  life  t(j  a  far  greater 
extent  than  do  the  higher  forms  of  mathematics.  Idle  at- 
tention of  candidates  from  colleges  and  universities  are 
especially  directed  to  this  fact,  and  a  thtii'ough  review  of 
arithmetic  is  urged. 

I'roficiencx'  in  free-hand  drawing,  although  not  a 
recpiirement  for  a<lmission,  is  exceedingly  desirable  tor  all 
textile  studeiUs,  \yhether  their  work  be  conhned  to  design, 
or  has  to  do  with  mechanics  and  machine  study.  It  has 
been  found,  howeyer,  that  owing  to  the  limited  opportunity 
for  obtaining  such  ])roficiency  during  prej)aratory  education 
and  for  other  reasons,  the  average  student  has  but  slight 
abilitv  in  this  line.  J  he  excellent  oi)i)ortunities  aftorded  by 
the  evening  drawing  classes  of  the  School  of  Api)lied  Art, 
located  in  an  adjoining  building,  are  earnestly  recommended 
t(j  the  attention  of  the  thoughtful  student. 

Note. — High  School  Inorganic  Chemistry  will  not  be  accei)te(l  as 
sufficient  for  exemption  from  first  year  Chemistry  in  this  School. 

SCHOLARSHIPS 

In  consideration  of  an  annual  appropriation  to  the 
School  by  the  Legislature  of  Pennsylyania,  each  county  in 

25 


the  State  is  entitled  to  at  least  one  free  scholarship  in  any 
department  of  the  School  for  the  full  course  of  three  years. 
Counties  sending  more  than  one  Senator  to  the  Legislature 
are  entitled  to  as  many  scholarships  as  there  are  Senatorial 
districts.  These  appointments  are  made  by  the  Governor  of 
the  State,  usually  on  the  recommendation  of  members  of 
the  State  Legislature. 

Generous  provision  for  free  instruction  in  this  institu- 
tion is  also  made  by  the  Board  of  Public  Education  of  the 
City  of  Philadelphia.  Pupils  of  all  the  High  and  Manual 
Training  Schools  are  eligible  for  these  appointments,  which 
are  made  by  the  Board  of  Education  on  the  recommenda- 
tion of  the  Principals  of  the  several  schools,  to  whom  all 
applications  for  them  should  be  addressed. 

Any  of  the  above  scholarships  are  subject  to  recall  at  any 
time,  if  in  the  judgment  of  the  Principal,  the  progress  of  the 
holder  is  unsatisfactory. 

A  student  who  fails  to  attend  regularly  or  to  do  the 
work  of  his  class,  receives  notice  to  this  effect  and  is  warned 
that  unless  a  marked  improvement  is  shown  at  once,  the 
scholarship  will  be  declared  vacant. 

If,  however,  at  the  expiration  of  a  reasonable  length  of 
time  his  progress  still  continues  to  be  unsatisfactory,  he  is 
notified  that  the  scholarship  has  been  forfeited. 

TUITION  FEES  AND  OTHER  EXPENSES 

d'he  tuition  fee  for  any  one  of  the  following  Day 
Courses  is  S175  per  year: 

The  fee  for  students  from  Foreign  Countries  is  $300 
per  year.

DISCIPLINE 

It  is  assumed  that  students  come  to  the  School  for  a 
serious  purpose  and  that  they  will  cheerfully  conform  to 
such  regulations  as  may  he  from  time  to  time  adopted  by 
the  Faculty. 

The  organization  and  discipline  of  the  School  require 
from  all  students  a  strict  observance  of  the  following  regu- 
lations : 

Punctual  and  regular  attendance,  polite  and  orderly 
conduct,  constant  and  steady  application  to  their  allotted 
work  in  the  various  classrooms  and  laboratories,  the  return 
of  all  tools,  materials,  chemicals  and  apparatus  in  good 
order  to  their  proper  places  before  leaving  the  classrooms. 
Conduct  inconsistent  with  the  above,  or  with  the  general 
good  order  of  the  School,  or  persistent  neglect  on  the  part 
of  the  student  to  furnish  or  produce  required  work,  or 
loitering  in  the  hallways  or  wasting  his  time  in  any  other 
manner,  may  be  considered  as  sufficient  grounds  for  dis- 
missal, without  remission  of  fees — or  if  the  offence  be  a 
less  serious  one,  the  student  may  be  placed  upon  probation. 
The  student  so  placed  upon  probation  may  be  dismissed  if 
guilty  of  any  further  offence.  Schedules  showing  the  ar- 
rangement of  classes  and  the  hours  to  be  given  by  the 
28 


instructors  to  eacli  arc  posted  in  cfinspicuons  places.  Stu- 
dents must  observe  these  schedules  and  may  not  claim  the 
teacher's  attention  at  other  hours. 

It  is  the  aim  of  the  h\aculty  to  so  administer  the  dis- 
cipline of  the  School  as  will  encourage  students  to  cultivate 
habits  of  stc-adv  ai)]>lic;ition,  self-control,  as  well  as  a  high 
regard  for  honor  and  truth  fulness.  The  attempt  of  anv 
student  to  i)ass  an  examination  b\-  impro])er  means  will  Ije 
regarded  as  a  most  serious  ott\'nce,  and  renders  the  olil'ender 
liable  to  imnu'diate  ex])ulsion  without  further  redress. 

No  l)ook,  chart,  or  other  educational  appliruice  which 
is  the  property  of  the  School,  will  be  allowed  to  leave  the

Equipment 


The  School  can  now  lay  claim  to  an  C(|uiijnicnt  excelling 
that  of  any  similar  institntion.  The  numerous  machines  and 
appliances  have  hcen  added  from  time  to  time  as  their  neces- 
sity became  apparent.  W  herever  it  was  seen  that  a  new 
apparatus  would  assist  in  the  demonstration  of  a  subject, 
that  ap]>aratus  was  obtained,  and  where  an  improvement 
was  made  in  machiner\-  already  in  the  School,  either  that 
imi)rovement  was  attached  or  the  old  machine  was  replaced 
b\-  an  entirely  new  one.  Tn  this  manner,  the  institution  has 
kept  apace  with  the  deyeloi)ment  of  the  times,  and  we  feel

specially  constructed  beaming  frames. 

SILK  REELING,  WINDING  AND  WARPING 

Particular  attention  has  been  given  to  the  equipment  of  this 
department  of  reeling,  winding  and  the  preparation  of  silk  for 
weaving  purpose.  The  machinery  installed  includes  soft  silk  skein 
w'inders,  doublers  and  Swiss  quill-winding  machines,  warpers  and 
creels,  as  well  as  beamers  for  above  warpers.  All  this  machinery  is 
from  the  Atwood-Morrison  Co.,  Stonington,  Conn.  Additional 
quill-winding  machinery  is  from  the  Schaum  &  Uhlinger  Co.,  Phila- 
delphia, Pa.,  the  Universal  Winding  Co.,  Boston,  ]\Iass.,  and  two 
reels  for  winding  direct  from  the  cocoon.  The  silk  department  also 
possesses  the  entire  collection  of  the  Women's  Silk  Culture  Asso- 
ciation of  America,  which  in  itself  is  a  most  valuable  aid  to  those 
making  a  study  of  the  silk  fibre. 

HAND-WEAVING  LABORATORY 

The  rooms  devoted  to  hand  weaving  and  related  branches  are 
three    in    number.      These    rooms    contain    upwards    of    90    looms,

specially  (lesi.^iicd  and  ci nislruclcd,  adaptalilc  to  the  wea\ing  of  all 
classes  of  textures,  (iroups  or  sections  of  looms  are  formed,  each 
section  heiuLj  de\'r)tcd  to  sumc  sjiecial  class  of  got  ids,  such  as  cotton 
(ir  union  fahrics,  wool  and  worsted  fabrics  for  lidth  men's  wear  and 
women's  wear.  jaccpiard  and  si^ecial  stuffs  in  cotton,  wool  and 
worsted,  as  well  as  those  for  plain  and  fancy  silks,  furniture  cover- 
ings and  drajieries.  Several  looms  are  devoted  to  such  narrow 
falirics  as  laces,  bindings,  ribl.ions,  elastic   and  non-elastic   webbings.

POWER-WEAVING  LABORATORY 

The  fcmr  laboratories  in  which  the  e(|uipment  ior  jiower  weaving 
is  installed  are  arranged  so  as  t(j  admit  of  satisfactory  administration 
in  accordance  with  the  organized  eoiu'ses  of  instructi<jn.  The  com- 
pleteness and  variety  of  this  e(|uipment  is  unexcelled  liy  that  of  any 
similar  institution,  'I'he  machinery  is  of  .\merican  make,  from  the 
best  makers,  thoroughly  up  to  date  and  exceptionally  well  assorted. 
The  breadth  of  the  School's  field  of  instruction  necessitates  this 
extensive  collection  of  machinery,  the  policy  being  to  teach  liy  means 
of  tliat  which  is  liest  adapted  to  the  fabric  in  question,  and  wdien  a 
loom  builder  brings  out  an  improvement,  tlie  new  is  sul:)stituted  for 
the  old  or  new  attachments  added. 

The  looms  in  most  freciuent  use  by  the  classes  are  located  in  a 
large,  welbliuhted  room,  and  the  purjjoses  for  wdiich  they  are  in- 
tended range  from  the  finest  gingham  to  the  heaviest  worsted  and 
woolen  of  the  harness  type,  including  various  looms  wdth  leno 
attachments.     The  production  of  fabrics  of  a  more  highl\-  ornamental 

39 


character,  including  the  finest  silk  damask,  dress  goods,  draperies 
and  heav}'  woolen  robes,  is  provided  for  by  a  large  collection  of 
suitable  looms  equipped  with  Jacquard  machines.  Three  other 
laboratories,  not  as  large  as  the  one  mentioned,  are  fitted  up  on  the 
same  general  plan,  and  contain  looms  for  special  purposes,  but  which 
are  not  apt  to  be  in  as  common  use.  The  ingrain  carpet  industry  is 
cared  for  by  three  typical  looms  of  different  makes,  and  included  in 
the  equipment  for  fine  cottons  are  three  filling  magazine  looms  with 
warp  stop  motions,  showing  that  the  school  is  keeping  apace  with 
progress  in  this  line.  The  narrow  goods,  elastic  and  non-clastic,  are 
amply  pro\'ided  for.  as  well  as  fabrics  to  which  the  swivel  and 
lappet  principles  are  applied,  also  terry  or  Turkish  toweling. 

The  following  well-known  makers  of  looms  are  characteristic- 
ally represented  in  the  school's  power-weaving  plant : 

The  Crompton  &  Knowles  Loom  Works,  Worcester.  Alass.,  from 
which  shops  the  school  has  obtained  a  large  proportion  of  the  looms 
for  silks,  cottons,  worsteds,  woolens,  upholstery,  fabrics,  carpets, 
towels,  lappets,  lenos,  etc. 

From  the  Draper  Co..  Hopedale,  ]\lass.,  three  automatic  looms 
for  plain  and  fancy  cottons. 

From  Schaum  &  Uhlinger.  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  looms  for  silks, 
swivel  dress  goods,  draperies,  ribbons,  narrow  webbings,  etc. 

The  looms  from  the  following  makers  are  intended  for  fine 
cotton  fabrics:  The  Whitin  ^lachinc  Works.  Whitinsville.  ]\Iass. ; 
the  George  W.  Stafford  Co..  Readville.  Mass. 

JACQUARD  CARD  CUTTING  AND 
LACING  LABORATORY 

The  large  number  of  Jacquard  machines  possessed  by  the  school 
(26  in  number,  ranging  from  200  to  L200-hook  capacity)  has  neces- 
sitated a  proportionately  large  number  of  card-cutting  machines  to 
facilitate  the  w^ork  of  Jacquard  design.  Aery  few  factories  possess 
the  facilities  for  card  stamping  as  are  found  in  this  department. 

The  room  in  wdiich  these  machines  are  contained  is  exceptionally 
well  lighted,  having  both  top  and  side  lights,  and  is  equally  well  pro-

Courses  of  Study— Day  School 

The  school  offers  to  prospective  clay  students  the  fol- 
lowing- carefully  [)repare(l  courses  of  instruction,  each  of 
which  has  heen  organized  with  a  distinct  purpose.  The 
broad  subject  of  textile  manufacture  receives  a  most  com- 
prehensive treatment  in  what  is  termed  the  : — - 


IF    nil::    LliCTL'KE    Ri 


This   is   a   wcll-lightc-d    r(JOiu   and   is   especially    intended    fur   work   in   analysis   of 
falndc,    weave    formation,    color    harmony    and    similar    studies. 


REGULAR  TEXTILE  COURSE  (Diploma) 

This  course,  which  is  the  development  of  twcnty-iour 
years  of  active,  thoughtful  work  in  textile  education,  is 
strongly  recommended  to  all,  particularly  on  account  of  its 
scope  ;  tending,  as  it  does,  to  overcome  for  the  individual  the 
narrowness  of  knowledge  which  is  apt  to  result  from  divi- 
sion of  labor  and  specialization  in  industry.  The  keen  com- 
petition of  the  present  day  has  placed  a  premium  on  the  man 
whose  knowledge  is  broad,  and  it  is  in  realization  of  this 
fact  that  the  Regular  Course  has  been  arranged  to  give  full 
instruction    in    cotton,    wool,    worsted    and    silk    yarns    and

completion,  to  enter  any  of  the  mentioned  branches  of  the 
industry,  and  by  his  knowledge  of  the  others  recognize  good 
features  in  them  and  adapt  these  good  features  to  his  own 
fabrics.  Three  years  are  required  to  complete  this  course, 
which  includes  the  following : — 

Subjects  of  Study — First  Year 

WEAVE  FORMATION 

This  subject  treats  of  the  construction  of  the  various  classes  of 
weaves  which  govern  the  manner  in  which  threads  are  interlaced 
to  form  woven  fabrics.  In  this,  the  first  j'ear,  the  subject  is  con- 
sidered in  its  relation  to  fundamental  and  derivative  weaves  for 
fabrics,  composed  of  one  warp  and  one  filling,  up  to  and  including 
fabrics  composed  of  two  warps  and  one  filling,  and  inasmuch  as 
their  use  is  confined  to  no  one  material,  their  study  is  common  to  the 
silk,  cotton,  wool  and  worsted  courses.  The  weaves  are  studied  in 
their  relation  to  one  another,  together  with  their  peculiarities  of 
texture,  take-up,  effect,  feel  and  color  possibilities.  At  the  close  of 
the  year  the  student  possesses  an  extensive  record  of  his  work,  which 
is  continued  in  the  succeeding  years  of  the  course.  The  following 
gives  a  general  idea  of  the  scope  of  this  year's  instruction  : 

General  principles  of  the  structure  weaves. — Explanation  of  "^^'arp"  and 
"Filling." — Methods  of  representing  weaves  on  squared  paper. — Classification 
of  weaves. — Foundation  and  derivative  weaves. — Plain  weave  and  the  methods 
of  ornamenting  it. — Methods  for  constructing  the  various  twill  and  satin  weaves. 
— Influence  of  the  twist  of  yarn  on  the  effect  of  the  weave. — Explanation  of 
drafting. — Rules  for  preparing  drawing-in  drafts  and  chain  drafts  from  weaves. 
— Reducing  weaves  to  their  lowest  number  of  harnesses. — \'arious  weaves  de- 
rived from  the  "Foundation  Weaves." — Alethods  for  their  construction. — The 
various  fabrics  to  which  they  are  adapted. — Circumstances  which  make  it 
more  advantageous  to  vise  one  class  of  weaves  than  another. — Weaves  which 
are  suitable  for  particular  classes  of  fabrics  in  contrast  with  weaves  for  other 
classes. — Weave  combination. — Consideration  of  "Texture"  and  "Take-up"  in 
placing  weaves  together. — Combining  weaves  to  form  stripes  and  checks. — Effect 
of  color  on  the  weave. — One-and-one  and  two-and-two  systems. — Two-and-two 
and  four-and-four  applied  to  fancy  weaves. — An  extra  filling  added  to  weaves. — 
Figured  effects  produced  by  floating  the  extra  filling  on  the  face. — Figures  pro- 
duced by  so  stitching  the  extra  filling  as  to  produce  light  and  dim  effects. — 
.Single-faced  and  double-faced  fabrics  produced  by  using  an  extra  filling. — 
Extra  filling  for  adding  weight  to  a  fabric. — The  addition  of  an  extra  warp. — 
Single  and  double-faced  fabrics  produced  by  using  an  extra  warp. — The  use 
of  an  extra  warp  for  figuring  on  the  face. — Increasing  the  weight  by  the  use 
of  an  extra  warp.  Proper  methods  for  stitching  the  back  to  the  face. — Effect 
of    improper    stitching. — Imperfect    cloth    resulting    from    the    same.

ANALYSIS  AND  STRUCTURE  OF  FABRICS 

Cotton,  wool,  worsted,  silk  and  other  varieties  of  yarns  and 
fabrics  ari'  caret'ully  investigated  and  discussed  with  a  view  to  the 
formation  of  desirt'd  I'alirics.  A  brief  outline  of  the  plan  of  work 
is  here  ai^pentled. 

Yarn  Calculations — Grading  yarns  with  regard  to  size, — Con- 
sideration of  the  various  systems  in  their  relation  to  one  another  in 
one  or  more  pl\'  threads.  The  relation  of  cijunt,  weight  and  length 
of  different  threads.

ductions based  on  the  results  obtained  in  the  thorou,L;h  analysis  of 
fabrics  wdiich  may  lie  remarkable  for  their  good  or  bad  qualities. 
This  subject  also  includes  the  organization  of  specifications,  designs 
and  cobirings  for  jirescribed  fabrics,  the  majority  of  which  are 
executed  by  the  student,  thus  enabling  him  to  see  the  actual  result 
of  his  thought.

REGULAR  COURSE— FIRST   YEAR 


FREE-HAND  DRAWING 

Lookin.ii  at  a  thing  docs  not  necessarily  indicate  seeing  a  tiling. 
Free-hand  drawing  taxes  the  former  to  insure  the  latter.  So  much 
from  a  ]>ractical  standpoint.  I'\u"tliermnre,  free-hand  drawing  culti- 
vates a  better  taste,  which  is  an  essential  in  all  embellishments,  and 
thus  becomes  a  necessity  for  the  api)reciation  and  acquirement  of 
the  subsequent  studies  of   figured  design,  color  harmony,  etc. 

FIGURED  DESIGN 

Designing  does  not  simply  indicate  an,  indiscriminate  decoration, 
but  the  exercise  of  care  in  the  appropriateness  of  embellishments, 
wdiether  such  be  used  for  the  highest  flowery  design  of  a  carpet  or 
the  simple  lines  of  tr(juserings  or  shirtings.  In  textiles  this  l)ecomes 
more  apparent  when  we  consider  not  only  the  decorations  and  uses, 
but  likewise  the  markets  for  which  they  are  intended  ;  lience  special 
attention  is  paid  t(.i  original  drawings  of  natural  forms,  tlieir  conven- 
tionalization, history  of  ornament,  and  theory  (jf  color. 

COLOR  HARMONY 

This  subject  is  one  of  vital  importance  to  all  concerned  in  the 
manufacture  and  marketing  of  textiles,  for,  in  spite  of  good  design 
and  good  fabric,  if  the  coloring  is  not  pleasing  the  faliric  will  not 
sell.  A  thorough  study  of  this  subject,  relating  entirely  to  textiles, 
is  a  prominent  feature  of  the  school's  work.  While  the  principles 
of  color  are  the  same,  whatever  their  application,  the  course  of  study 
is  so  arranged  as  to  bear  entirely  on  yarns  and  fabrics.  Starting 
out  with  the  raw  pigment,  and  working  on  paper  and  in  the  actual 
goods,  the  eye  of  the  student  undergoes  a  gradual  and  almost 
unconscious  training  in  the  application  of  what  is  good  and  what 
is  bad  in  color  coml)ination.  He  liecomes  able  to  decide  not  only 
what  colors  or  shades  may  be  tastefully  combined,  but  also  on  the 
relative  depths  of  tone  wdiich  will  be  allowable  under  given  condi- ' 
tions  and  in  given  combinations.  His  knowledge  of  tlie  structure 
of  fabrics  and  of  design  enables  him  to  estimate  correctly  the 
quantity  and  quality  of  the  color  which  will  be  visible  on  the  face 
of  the  goods,  and  to  make  correct  allowances  in  his  original  color 
scheme  for  the  modifications  of  effect  which  these  conditions  imply.' 

WARP  PREPARATION  AND  WEAVING 

This  subject  is  taught  as  a  means  of  demonstrating  and  develop-^' 
ing  the  instruction  given  in  weave  formation  and  fabric  structure, 
and,  while  keeping  this  idea  in  view,  due  attention  is  also  paid  to  the 
giving  of  a  thorough  grounding  in  the  underlying  principles  of  weav- 
ing and  weaving  mechanism.  Experience  has  proven  that  these  ends 
are  most  rapidly  attained  by  means  of  the  hanrl  loom,  and   for  this

COTTON  YARN  MANUFACTURE 

The  chief  advantage  of  scho(.)l  training  in  this  subject  does  not 
lie  in  the  actual  operation  of  machines,  but  rather  in  the  knowded.ge 
of  how  to  adjust  the  parts  of  the  machines  to  suit  \ar_\ing"  conditions

necessitated  by  different  lengths  of  fibre  and  counts  of  yarn,  in  order 
that  the  machines  may  be  run  to  the  best  advantage.  The  use  and 
structure  of  each  portion  of  the  machines  is  studied  in  its  relation  to 
the  other  parts  with  reference  to  its  effect  on  the  product.  Starting 
with  the  desire  to  produce  a  certain  yarn,  all  the  necessary  calcula- 
tions of  speed  and  delivery  are  made,  so  that  the  proper  amount  of 
work  may  be  done  at  each  operation  and  the  fibre  handled  with  the 
least  amount  of  injury  and  waste.  The  knowledge  of  how  to  blend 
fibres  and  produce  yarns  makes  the  person  who  is  also  familiar  with 
designing  and  weaving  exceptionally  valuable,  either  as  designer,  as 
overseer  of  weaving  or  of  carding  and  spinning,  or  in  those  positions 
in  which  men  are  expected  to  superintend  all  three  of  these  opera- 
tions.    The  following  is  an  outline  of  the  scope  of  the  subject: 

A'arieties  of  Cotton. — Their  characteristics  and  uses. — The  adaptation  of 
various  cottons  to  different  classes  of  work. 

Preparatory  Processes. — Bale  breakers. — Mixing  lattices. — Openers. — In- 
termediate  and   finisher   pickers.

essays,  abstracts  and  practical  work  upon  the  machines.  Winchester's  "Theory 
and  Practice  of  Cotton  Yarn  Manufacturing"  is  used  as  a  text-book. 


Subjects  of  Study — Second  Year 

WEAVE  FORMATION 

The  instruction  in  this  subject  given  in  the  second  year  may  be 
said   to    embrace   an    application    to    heavier   and   more    complicated 
fabrics  of  the  weaves  studied  in  the  first  year.    The  work  in  general 
50 


REGULAR  COnRSE— SECOND  YEAR 


is  conhned  to  double  weavinR—tliat  is,  weaves  for  fabrics  com- 
posed of  two  systems  of  warp  and  of  Unins—and  its  treatment  is 
general  in  its  application,  includin.u  fabrics  of  silk,  cotton,  wool  and 
worsted.  The  following  is  a  brief  statement  of  the  matter  covered: 
\'alue  of  a  knowledge  of  double  clr.th  weaves.— Methods  of  constructing 
double  cloth  weaves,  and  of  indicating  them  on  designing  paper.— Consideration 
of  the  various  proportions  of  face  and  back,  such  as  one  face  an,l  one  back,  two 
face  and  one  back;  three  face  and  one  back.— Also  those  on  which  the  warp 
and  filling  have  not  the  same  arrangement,  such  as  one  face  and  one  back  in 
warp,  and  two  face  one  back  in  filling;  two  face  one  back  in  warp,  and  one  face 
one  back  in  Idling  and  other  irregular  arrangements.— Rules  for  stitching  double 
cloth  weaves.-Invisible  stitching.-The  production  of  figures  by  means  of  the 
three-color  striped  weaves.— 1  )oulde  j.lain  weaves  for  reversible  ligured  efl^ects — 
Weaves  for  such  special  fabrics  as  Bedford  cords,  dotted  Swisses,  plaid  lawns 
pique,  figured  pique,  Marseilles,  coatings,  matellasses,  face-finished  fabrics 
beavers,  kerseys,  meltons,  tricots,  chinchillas,  etc.— Longitudinal  and  diagonal- 
rib. 

ANALYSIS  AND  STRUCTURE  OF  FABRICS 

Cotton,  wool,  worsted,  .^Ik  and  other  varieties  of  varns  and 
fabrics  are  considered  on  somewhat  the  same  plan  as  in  the  hrst 
year,   but   by  means  of   more   advanced   problems. 

A'.VKX  C.VLcuLATioNs  embrace  a  study  of  the  shrinkages  which 
are  encountered  in  the  various  operations  of  weaving  and  hnishing, 
m  their  effect  on  the  resultmg  f;ibrics.-The  selection  u{  ],rni,"i' 
yarns   for  rcfpn'red  weights  of  goorl.  and   f,,r  given  textures. 

I'ABRK-  Ax.M.vsis  is  followed  largely  in  <l,,ul.le  cloths,  and,  in 
addition  to  the  points  looked  for  in  the  lirst-year  analysis,  the 
student  is  brcught  in  contact  with,  the  (piesti,)!,  ,,f  tw.i  ..r  more  warps 
and  fillings  in  the  one  piece,  lie  thus  includes  in  his  research  the 
question  of  different  shrinkage  and  losses,  and  in  his  estimate  the 
quantity  of  materials  necessary   for  a  given  Inn.shed  piece  of  goods. 

Fabric  STRrcTURi-;.- In  planning  and  calculating  on  the  neces- 
sary specifications  for  the  correct  structure  of  fabrics,  in  this  the 
second  year  of  the  course,  the  student  not  only  steps  from  single  to 
double  cloths,  with  the  consequent  augmentation  of  details,  but  he 
IS  also  brought  to  a  consideration  of  the  subject  of  texture.  He  is 
required  to  decide  upon  the  jiroper  number  of  warp  and  lilling 
threads  for  the  weave  to  be  used,  and  to  make  all  necessary  allow'^ 
ances  for  ease  in  weaving  and  for  shrinkages  after  being  woven. 
Hence,  a  careful  study  of  the  question  of  volume  or  size  of  threads 
is  essential,  particularly  in  relation  to  the  interlacings  of  the  diff'erent 
weaves.  The  actual  pr.Hhiction  of  the  fabric  in  all  its  details  by  the 
effort  of  the  student  lends  much  to  the  value  of  the  theoretical 
knowledge  gained.

REGULAR  COURSE— SECOND  YEAR 


JACQUARD  DESIGN  AND  COLOR 

The  purpose  of  the  consideration  of  this  subject,  in  addition  to 
adapting  the  principles  of  weave  formation  to  the  machine,  is  to 
expand  into  broader  and  more  varied  effects  the  work  of  the  first 
year.  Color,  being  such  an  adjunct  in  the  making  of  figured  effects, 
is  here  applied  to  assist  in  bringing  out  the   designs. 

The  AIachixe. — The  use  of  various  machines,  to  attain  speed 
and  easier  action  on  the  warp,  are  explained,  and  drawings  of  the 
construction  of  their  internal  parts  made.  Such  machines  are  treated 
as  follows  : 

Rise  and  fall. — Double  lift,  double  and  single  cylinder. — Auxiliary  cylinder 
and  twilling  machines. — Substitution  of  trap-boards  and  tail-cords  for  hooks 
and  griffe  bars. — Substitution  of  journals   for  comberboard. 

Mounting. — The  various  tie-ups  for  the  working  of  two  warps 
and  extra  figure  warps  are  explained,  comberboards  threaded  and 
calculations  made  for  all  necessary  particulars  for  the  placing  of 
such  forms  in  the  loom  as — • 

Section  ties. — Repeated  effects  in  one  repeat. — Combinations  of  straight 
and  point  ties  for  table  covers  and  curtains,  etc. — Placing  of  extra  sections  in 
front  for  striped  effects. 

Designing. — Cloth-size  sketches,  in  the  colors  to  be  used  in  the 
woven  fabric,  are  made,  and  enlarged  upon  squared  design  paper, 
in  order  that  the  various  ap])lications  of  weave  to  produce  effects 
can  be  studied  in  a  practical  form.  Designs  are  worked  out  in  this 
manner  for  different  textures  and  tie-ups   for — 

Cotton  and  silk  derbies. — Reversible  draperies. — Blankets. — Figured  dress 
goods. — Fine,  super-fine  and  extra  super-ingrain  carpets,  and  various  double 
cloths. 

Card  Cutting. — Card  stamping  is  done  from  designs  made  by 
the  students  for  the  various  fabrics,  in  accordance  with  principles 
laid  down  in  the  hrst  j'ear's  work.  Students  are  required  to  cut  and 
lace  cards  from  their  own  designs,  using  both  French  and  American 
index  cutters. 

WOOL  AND  WORSTED  YARN  MANUFACTURE 

In  this  year,  the  second  of  the  course,  the  student  studies  the 
subject  of  "wool"  and  its  inanipulation  into  yarns,  largelj-  on  the 
same  general  lines  as  that  laid  down  for  cotton  yarn  manufacture, 
outlined  in  the  first  year  of  the  course.  Particular  attention  is  paid 
to  the  study  of  what  is  commercially  called  the  "raw  material"  (the 
wool  fibre  and  the  by-products  of  wool)  and  the  mechanical  func- 
tions of  the  various  machines  used  in  processing  the  material  prior 
to  spinning.  The  following  is  an  outline  of  the  scope  of  the  subject:

WARP  PREPARATION  AND  WEAVING 

The  instructicin  in  (liis  sulijcct  in  (he  second  year  is  given  with 
reterence  to  power  looms  of  the  latest  types.  The  student  now 
studies  tile  mechanical  means  which  are  in  vogue  for  the  attaiiuuent 
of  the  operations  of  weaxing,  and  which  were  performed  hy  hand  in 
the  preceding  year.  Careful  attention  is  given  to  the  timing,  setting 
and  general  adjusting  of  the  \'arious  parts  of  the  ])Ower  looms.  The 
stiulent  is  recjuired  to  kee])  careful  rec<irils  of  all  such  instruction, 
and  to  ])roduce  a  prescrihe(l  nuruher  and  \ariet\'  id'  fabrics,  of  com-

and   weaving,   and   assists   in   the    (inishing   of   the    fafirics. 

CHEMISTRY 

The  chemistry  takeif  up  in  this  _\ear  is  inchuK'd  under  the  gen- 
eral title  of  qualitatixe  analysis,  wherein  the  analytical  classification 
and  tests  for  the  various  metals  and  non-metals  is  studied.  The 
work  in  tlds  hranch,  however,  is  hrought  right  down  to  a  practical 
hasis  hy  employing  as  olijects  of  the  tests  the  fhfferent  chemicals 
actually  employed  in  mill  work.  These  include  the  various  acids, 
alkalies  and  salts  normall\-  occurring  in  trade.  In  this  manner  it  is 
endeavored  not  oidy  to  give  the  student  a  drill  in  the  theory  of 
qualitative  anal}'sis,  hut  also  to  provide  liim  with  a  concrete  basis  for 
his  knowledge,  so  that  the  ends  of  both  scientific  instruction  as  w^ell 
as  ])ractical  information  and  exi)erience  are  attained.  A  good  drill 
in  the  solving  of  reactions  and  the  calculation  of  results  is  also  given, 
together  with  considerable  laboratory  practice  in  experimental 
manipulation  and  the  handling  and  use  of  analytical  apparatus.  The 
whole  object  of  the  course  is  to  give  the  student  an  intelligent  idea 
of  the  manner  of  procediu'e  to  be  followed  in  the  ])ractical  testing 
and  detection  of  impurities  in  the  xarious  chemicals  likely  to  he 
employed  in  the  textile  industries.

REGULAR  COURSE— SECOND  YEAR 


DYEING 

D\-eing  is  also  taken  up  during  this  year.  The  course  is  elemen- 
tary in  character,  and  is  so  designed  as  to  embrace  the  general 
methods  of  scouring,  bleaching  and  dyeing  both  wool  and  cotton. 
Its  purpose  is  to  give  the  general  textile  student  an  intelligent 
idea  of  how  these  processes  are  conducted,  and  the  principles  on 
which  they  are  based.  The  chemical  and  physical  properties  of  the 
fibres  are  studied  with  a  view  to  their  behavior  under  the  different 
processes  of  manufacture.  The  application  of  the  different  classes 
of  dyes  is  taken  up,  with  methods  of  testing  their  fastness  and 
suitability  for  special  purposes.  The  student  also  has  the  oppor- 
tunit}'  of  doing  practical  work  in  the  dye  house  under  careful  super- 
vision, and  to  become  acquainted  with  the  modern  methods  and 
machinerv  of  dveing. 


DRV    HXISIIIXG. 

In    this    room    the    second    and   third    year    students   aid    in    tinishing   the    various 
falirics   produced. 

FINISHING 

This  highly  important  step  in  the  production  of  a  marketable 
textile  fabric  constitutes  a  subject  which  is  remarkable  for  its 
complexity.  The  immense  variety  of  goods  whose  points  of  dif- 
ference are  dependent  wholly  upon  the  character  of  the  finish  which 
has  been  put  upon  them  calls  for  the  use  of  numerous  finishing 
materials,  and  the  application  of  these  in  their  turn  necessitates  many 
different  machines.  The  subject  is  treated  in  its  broader  sense  by 
means  of  lectures  throughout  the  season.  The  general  underlying 
principles  of  the  art  are,  however,  exemplified  by  the  actual  finish- 
ing of  many  of  the  fabrics  produced  in  the  school,  and  the  students

WEAVE  FORMATION 

In  this,  the  final  year  of  stuilx'.  the  one  which  rejiresents  the 
last  o])])ortunity  the  student  will  have  for  school  work,  particular 
attention  is  jiaid  not  only  to  wea\'es  of  a  higher  order,  of  more 
intricate  interlacing,  hut  to  a  more  technical  consideration,  1  rom  a 
commercial  standpoint,  of  wea\'es  for  tlie  e\ery-(lay  lalirics.  The 
solution  of  the  many  difficult  prohlems  in  inter-wea\ing  hrought 
forward  in  this  year  tlirows  a  new,  a  clearer  light  on  the  preceding 
year's  weaves,  giving  the  student  a  far  hetter  grasp  of  the  entire 
subject.  In  other  words,  he  is  enahled  to  investigate  prolilems  in  a 
thorough  manner  and  with  the  satisfaction  which  comes  ol  knowing 
how.  Three  and  more  ply  weaves  are  ])lanned  uiion  paper,  hoth  for 
plain  and  figured  effects,  in  such  falirics  as  overcoatings,  cloakings, 
hea\'y  drajjcries,  brocades,  etc. 

Study  is  directecl  in  the  line  of  such  woolen  and  worsted  fabrics  as  crepons, 
mantle  cloths,  habit  cloths,  Imckskins,  doeskins,  carriage  cloths,  box  coatings, 
casket  cloth,  friezes,  whiiicords,  coverts,  etc.,  and  in  all  the  weaves  considered 
due  emphasis  is  laid  upon  the  effects  which  they  produce  when  treated  with 
various   systems   of   coloring.      Careful   and    extensive   attention    is   given    to    leno

or  doupe  weaves,  single  and  double  doupe,  combination  of  doupe  and  other 
orders  of  weaving  and  the  production  of  figured  effects  by  means  of  one  doupe. 
Lappet  and  swivel  effects  are  considered.  Weaves  are  studied  which  are  best 
suited  to  such  narrow  fabrics  as  suspender  and  garter  webs,  goring,  name  webs, 
shoe  pulls,  etc.  Filling  and  warp  pile  weaves  are  taken  for  velvet,  corduroys, 
plushes,  imitation  furs,  astrakhans,  chinchillas,  lamb  skins,  etc.  Considerable 
attention  is  also  given  to  the  study  of  new  methods  for  the  derivation  of 
original  ground  weaves  of  a  granite  and  crepe  order,  such  as  are  always  in 
demand   for   suitings,   dress  goods,   etc. 

ANALYSIS  AND  STRUCTURE  OF  FABRICS 

The  fabrics  considered  are  in  keeping  with  the  instruction  in 
weave  formation,  and  are  not  only  looked  at  from  the  standpoint  of 
their  intricacy,  but  they,  as  well  as  simple  fabrics,  are  studied  with 
more  of  a  view  to  the  commercial  end  than  in  either  of  the  preceding 
years.  A  considerable  portion  of  the  work  in  this  branch  of  study 
consists  of  planning  the  specifications  for  various  classes  of  fabrics 
from  original  designs,  and  in  many  cases  from  yarns  which  the 
student  has  produced  from  the  raw  stock.  These  fabrics  are  subse- 
c|uently  produced  by  the  student,  he  having  the  opportunity  of  per- 
forming every  detail,  and  is  ever  reminded  of  the  necessity  of 
producing  a  good  and  pleasing  fabric  as  economically  as  possible. 

COST  FINDING,  ETC. 

A'arious  systems  of  cost  finding,  mill  book-keeping,  etc.,  are  ex- 
])lained,  as  well  as  the  questions  of  commissions,  datings,  discounts, 
etc.  Thus  the  student  is  taught  to  keep  the  thought  of  relative  cost 
well  in  mind. 

JACQUARD  DESIGN  AND  COLOR 

In  this  subject  the  means  is  offered  the  student  to  carry  to  an 
advanced  state  the  work  of  the  previous  years,  and  adapting  the 
Jacquard  to  all  kinds  of  fancy  comjjlicated  fabrics,  especially  in  the 
direction  of  placing  ilgures  in  three-ply  or  more  complex   fabrics. 

The  Machine. — The  various  kinds  of  Jacquard  used  in  making 
special  fabrics  of  complex  nature  are  explained  and  drawings  made, 
showing  the  variation   from  the  standard  machine. 

Application  of  gauze  machines  carrying  doupcs  and  slackeiiers. — Brussels 
carpet   machines. — \\'ilton   carpet   machine. 

Mounting. — The  student  is  here  made  familiar  with  the  actual 
practice  of  mounting  machines  and  tj-ing  up  of  the  loom  for  all 
kind  of  fanc}'  and  complex  effects.  The  combination  of  the  Jac- 
quard and  the  dobby  for  producing  large  repeats  in  the  cloth  are 
explained,  and  drawings  made  of  the  various  arrangements  of  the 
principal  parts.     Mountings  are  prepared  for — 

Gauze  and  leno  effects. — Scale  tie-ups. — Shaft  lashing. — Placing  of  shafts 
in    neck    cords. — Placing    of    shafts    below    comberboard. — Compound    harness. —

Card  Cutting.— h'ollowing  the  practice  in  card  cutting  olitained 
ni  the  previous  year's  work,  card-cutting  directions  are  made  for  all 
kmds  of  effects,  and  cards  are  cut  for  original  design  made  during 
the  year.  Methods  of  repeating  cards  liy  mechanical  means  and  the 
workings  of  new  automatic  card-cutting  appliances  are  explained, 
and  sketches  made  of  their  working  parts. 

YARN  MANUFACTURE 

In  this  suhject  the  student  may  elect  to  take  advanced  study  in 
either  the  manufacture  of  wool  and  worsted  yarns,  as  outlined  on 
page  69,  or  cotton  yarn,  as  outlined  on  page  66. 

WARP  PREPARATION  AND  WEAVING 

This  branch  of  the  course  is  the  one  in  which  the  student  pro- 
duces residts  which  demonstrate  his  grasp  of  the  instruction  given 
in  practically  all  of  the  other  branches.  The  fabrics  produced  are 
irom  his  own  ideas,  and,  with  soiue  excejitions,  are  made  from 
}-anis  which  he  has  spun  and  dyed  after  having  selected  and  ])re- 
pared  the  raw  stock.  These  fabrics  are  of  a  higher  class  than  those 
brought  out  in  the  preceding  years,  and  allow  him  to  show  his  knowl- 
edge of  structure,  design  and  coloring.  In  addition  to  producing 
certain  prescrilied  fabrics,  the  student  is  expected  to  execute  others 
which  he  may  plan,  bearing  in  mind  delinite  restrictions  as  to  char- 
acter and  capacity  of  loom  and  limitations  as  to  the  price  of  the 
fabrics,  etc..  thus  giving  due  consideration  to  the  commercial  end. 
The  following  is  a  brief  outline  of  the  matter  included  in  the  general 
instruction  : 

The  lining-iip  of  looms. — Starting  up  looms  on  new  lines  of  goods. — Adjust- 
ing looms  to  suit  the  peculiar  requirements  of  various  lines  of  fabrics. — Adapt- 
ing different  kinds  of  hionis  to  the  same  character  of  work.— Devices  for  stop- 
ping and  starting  take-up  m.itions  to  suit  special  fabrics.— The  production  of 
single  and  double  doupe  effects  in  fabrics.— Single,  double  and  more  intricate 
classes  of  goods. — All  the  operations  are  performed  by  the  student  with  only 
such  assistance  as  may  be  called  for  in  promoting  the  aims  of  judicious 
instruction.

in  the  compounding  of  colors  and  the  production  of  different  classes 
of  dyed  shades.  This  naturally  leads  on  to  the  matching  of  colors, 
in  which  considerable  practice  is  given  ;  and  during  the  latter  part  of 
the  year  the  student  is  required  to  dye  the  yarn  he  employs  for  his 
woven  pieces,  the  shades  being  matched  by  the  student  himself.  The 
object  of  the  work  is  to  give  the  general  textile  student  a  compre- 
hensive idea  of  the  possibilities  and  limitations  to  be  met  with  in 
bringing  into  actual  existence  in  the  finished  fabrics  the  various  color 
harmonies  and  combinations   which  have  only  a  potential   existence

FINISHING  |. 

The  preceding  year's  instruction  has  fitted  the  student  for  the' 
more  comprehensive  treatment  which  is  given  the  subject  in  this 
year.  He  is  enabled  to  grasp  more  fulh-  the  reasons  for  the  various 
operations  through  which  some  of  the  fabrics  pass  in  order  that  they 
may  be  marketed  as  this  or  as  that  fabric ;  and  he  is  instructed  in 
the  methods  of  determining  the  form  of  finish  employed,  as  well  as 
the  materials  used.  The  outline  which  follows  gives  a  general  idea 
of  the  matter  covered  : 

WORSTEDS  AND  WOOLENS 

Fulling. — Ancient  and  modern  methods  compared. — General  time  of  full- 
ing on  various  classes  of  goods. — How  to  calculate  the  shrinkage  in  length  and 
widtli  to  give  desired  weight. — How  and  when  to  flock. — What  percentage  of 
flocks  it  is  desired  to  use,   conditions  considered. 

Heat  and  pressure,  and   other  conditions   in   fulling  considered. 

Gigging. — The  moisture  of  goods  in  wet  gigging. — Raising  for  various 
kinds  of  finish,  "doeskin  finish,"  "velvet  finish,"  "dry  finish,"  Scotch  or  "mel- 
ton finish,"  "worsted  finish"  napping. 

Steaming. — Tub  steaming  or  boiling  compared  with  upright  steamer  or  gig. 

Drying. — Comparison  of  the  various  drying  machines  in  general  use. — 
Effects   of   tentering   in   open   air   compared  with   machine   drying. 

Pressing. — Shearing  and  pressing  further  considered. — Final  inspection. — 
Measuring,  rolling,  shading. — Causes  of  imperfections,  their  prevention  and 
remedy. — Allowances. 

Note. — Students  of  the  second  and  third  year  courses  assist  in  finishing 
all   the  various   fabrics   produced    during  the   school   term.

Wool  and  Worsted  Course 

This  cotirso,  covering  a  period  of  tw(i  _\c;irs,  has  been 
planned  with  the  idea  of  providing  for  stndents  wlio  intend 
to  engage  in  some  form  of  the  mannfactttrc  or  the  selling 
of  the  products  of  wool ;  hence,  all  reference  to  other  fibres

the  outline  of  some  oilier  cotirse,  it  is  only  done  in  so  far 
as  it  applies  to  woolens  or  worsteds.  The  results  to  be 
attained  by  taking  this  course  are  by  no  means  as  compre- 
hensive as  those  which  the  three-year  textile  course  makes 
possible,  but  in  certain  cases  it  is  best  suited  to  the  needs 
of  the  student.  The  following  gives  an  idea  of  the  studies 
which  it  inchides.

the  first  year  of  the  three-year  textile  course  in  all  but  cotton-yarn 
manufacture,  Jacquard  design,  and  free-hand  drawing.  Woolen  and 
worsted  yarn  manufacture  is  included  in  this  course,  and  is  described 
on  page  52,  while  Jacquard  design  and  free-hand  drawing  are 
omitted,  a  few  lectures  being  given,  however,  on  the  principles  of  the 
Jacquard  machine.  The  time  which  the  other  classes  spend  on  these 
latter  studies  is  devoted  to  additional  research  and  practice  in  yarn 
manufacture,  weaving  and  dveing.

Subjects  of  Study — Second  Year 

WEAVE  FORMATION 

The  instruction  in  this  subject  embraces  the  application  of  the 
general  principles  taught  in  the  preceding  year.  The  elementary 
weaves  are  applied  to  fabrics  composed  of  two  warps  and  one  filling, 
one  warp  and  two  fillings,  and  to  full  double  cloths,  attention  being 
paid  not  only  to  general  underlying  principles,  but  also  to  their  use 
in  connection  with  the  requirements  of  definite  fabrics.  A  brief 
outline  of  the  course  follows  : 

The  manner  of  forming  what  is  termed  a  double  chith  weave  and  the 
principles  involved. — Methods  of  stitching  the  two  fabrics  together  either 
invisibly  or  for  the  purpose  of  utilizing  the  stitching  in  the  production  of

and  the  a]>p]ication  of  the  differen.t  classes  of  ch'estutfs  to  this  fibre. 
When  a  general  knowledge  of  this  kind  has  been  gained,  the  student 
next  proceeds  to  the  practical  study  of  color  compounding  and  shade 
matching.  Considerable  practical  exjierience  is  given  in  the  latter, 
and  the  student  is  also  given  an  opportunity  of  carrying  on  some 
practical  dyeing  in  the  dye-house  of  the  school.

of  Study  of  silk  and  matters  pertaining  to  its  intelligent 
manufacture.  The  raw  material  is  considered  with  its  many 
peculiarities,  together  with  the  methods  of  converting  it  into 
forms  suitable  for  wearing.  A  thorough  training  is  given  in 
the  weaves  used  in  silk  fabrics,  attention  being  called  to  the 
manner  in  which  the  various  forms  of  interlacing  appear 
in  the  goods.  The  manner  in  which  silk  takes  dyestuff,

effect  on  its  strength,  wearing  qualities,  etc..  are  fully  con- 
sidered. The  many  varieties  of  silk  and  mixed  fabrics  are 
carefully  studied,  and  by  analysis  the  student  is  enabled  to 
form  accurate  estimates  of  the  size  and  quality  of  the  raw 
materials  which  they  contain,  together  with  the  amount  of 
loading  present.  The  following  gives  an  idea  of  the  subjects 
included  in  the  course,  and  where  reference  is  made  to  other 
courses  it  is  intended  that  the  work  thus  referred  to  shall  be 
studied  in  its  application  to  silk. 


SILK  COURSE 


Subjects  of  Study— First  Year 

The  sulijects  studied  during  the  tlrst  year  of  this  course  include 
Weave  formation,  analysis  and  structure  of  fahrics,  color  harmony, 
free  hand  drawing  and  figured  design,  Jacquard  design,  warp  preiia- 
ration  and  weaving,  cliemistry  and  textile  fihres.  The  ground 
covered  in  these  subjects  is  the  same  as  in  the  case  of  the  Regular 
course  described  on  i)ages  44  to  50.  X(.>  attempt  at  specialization  is 
made  in  the  I'lrst  year,  it  Ijeing  recognized  that  the  fundamentals  are 
the  same  for  all  types  of  materials.  Experience  has  shown  that  the 
studi'ut  takes  hold  of  the  problems  of  silk  in  liis  second  year  ^o 
decidedly  belter  advantage,  if  he  has  had  the  oiiportuuity  of  the 
greater  breadth  of  the  first  year  work  of  the  Regular  course,  rather 
tlian  to  lia\-e  ])een  hampered  l)y  having  handled  nothing  but  silk. 


Subjects  of  Study— Second  Year 

WEAVE  FORMATION 

The  second  year  of  this  subject  includes  a  study  of  the  higher 
forms  of  weaves  apidicable  to  silk,  due  attention  being  given  to  those 
which  can  be  used  to  advantage  in  the  production  of  Jacquard 
ellects.  Weaves  for  two  or  more  ]ily  fabrics  are  studied  and  planned 
uiion  stiuared  paper,  each  of  the  two  or  more  systems  of  warp  and 
hlling  being  considered  in  its  proper  place.

JACOUARD  DESIGN  AND  COLOR 

While  the  work  in  this  subject  covers  the  points  outhned  on  page 
52,  additional  time  is  spent  as  follows  : 

Mountings. — Mountings  are  prepared  and  the  practice  of  placing 
them  in  the  loom  and  in  tying-up  is  afforded  for  fancy  silk  fabrics, 
such  as  novelty  dress  goods,  necktie  stuffs,  upholstery  fabrics  and 
more  complex  forms  of  fabrics.  Mountings  with  shafts  in  the  neck 
cords,  and  with  shafts  below  the  comberboard. 

Designing. — Designs  are  made  in  color,  cloth  size,  and  enlarged 
to  workable  state  for  card  cutting  for  such  highly  ornamental  fabrics 
as  brocades,  damasks,  chair  coverings,  labels,  dress  goods,  etc. 
Determination  of  weighting,  estimation  of  size  of  silk  before  boiling 
off  and  of  amount  of  weighting. 

Card  Cutting. — Cards  are  cut  for  the  designs  which  the  student 
makes,  and  card-cutting  directions  are  worked  out  from  various 
fabrics.

DYEING 

In  this  subject  the  attention  of  the  student  is  first  called  to  the 
physical  structure  and  chemical  composition  of  the  silk  fibre,  so  that 
he  may  understand  its  behavior  when  subjected  to  the  different 
chemical  and  physical  processes  used  during  the  progress  of  its 
manufacture.  The  methods  of  conditioning,  of  boiling  oft',  and 
bleaching  of  silk  are  studied.  The  application  of  the  different  classes 
of  dyestuft's  is  then  taken  up,  and  various  methods  of  mordanting 
and  weighting  are  practiced  in  such  a  manner  as  to  give  the  student 
an  intelligent  insight  into  the  working  of  these  processes.  Consid- 
erable attention  is  paid  to  the  methods  of  ascertaining  the  character 
and  amount  of  weighting  in  silk  goods,  and  also  the  determining  of 
the  amount  of  silk  in  mixed  goods.  The  chemical  principles  under- 
lying these  matters  are  constantly  held  before  the  mind  of  the 
student,  who  acquires  his  knowledge  in  a  practical  manner  through 
experimenting  on  concrete  examples.

COURSE  IN   CHE:\nSTRY,   DYEING  AND  PRINTING 


THE  COURSE  IN  CHEMISTRY,  DYEING 
AND  PRINTING 

Tlic  course  in  Clu'inistry,  Dyeiiii;-  and  l^rinting  extends 
over  a  period  of  three  years,  and  is  especially  designed  to 
give  a  scientific  teclmical  education  to  tliose  who  desire  to 
embrace  in  their  ])rofession  these  ])ranches  of  industrial 
technologv. 

A  studv  of  the  materials  and  })rocesses  is  carried  on 
with  special   reference  to  this  end. 

Dveing  is  an  art  immediateh"  associated  with  chemistry 
and  is  one  of  the  chief  ramifications  of  that  fundamental 
science.  As  an  art  it  has  long  been  practiced,  hut  it  is  only 
of  late  years  that  scientific  methods  have  been  introduced 
into  this  stud\',  and  thr(.)Ugh  this  means  of  develoi)ment 
it  is  rajjidlv  assuming  a  position  in  the  front  rank  of 
applied  science. 

The  studv  of  dveing  in  this  School  is  carried  on 
with  the  idea  of  inculcating  into  the  mind  of  the  student  a 
scientific  conception  of  what  he  is  doing;  he  is  taught  to 
ex])eriment  in  an  intelligent  manner — not  to  take  things 
for  granted,  but  to  know  tlu'  reason  wh}-.  Moreover, 
his  experiments  are  not  limited  to  the  laboratory  pot  and 
kettle,  where  his  results  are  often  deluding,  but  the  student 
carries  r)n  his  d\eing  in  a  manner  that  enables  him  t(_^ 
encounter  an<l  overcome  the  jielty  diHiculties  and  changing 
conditions  of  the  mill  and  dye  house. 

The  technical  examination  and  \-aluations  of  commer- 
cial [)ro(lucls  is  given  es])ecial  attention  and  a  high  stand- 
ard of  manipulative  skill  and  accuracy  in  experimental  work 
is  insisted  ui)on,  for  it  is  such  training  that  fits  the  student 
for  accur.ate  and  scientific  results  in  after  )-ears,  when  he  is

The  method  of  irsino  tlie  different  dyestuffs  is  thoroughly  studied 
in  a  course  of  lecttu'es.  'Jdie  student  carries  otit  a  large  numher  of 
e.vperiments  with  ditlerent  dyes  on  small  test  skeins.  In  this  way  he 
becomes  familiar  not  only  with  the  diffe'reiit  methttds  of  applying 
the  dyestufis  but  also  ac(iuircs  a  fund  of  knowledge  respecting  the 
relative  shades  and  \alues  of  a  large  nmnber  of  dyes.  The  student 
recei\'es  detailed  criticism  of  all  his  experiments. 

l-Iesides  the  experimental  dyeing  of  snuill  test  skeins,  each  stu- 
dent is  reijuired  to  help  in  tlie  dyeing  of  larger  (|uantities  of  various 
classes  of  goods  which  are  operated  upon  in  the  well-ecjnipped  dye 
house  of  tlie  school.  Lots  of  from  1  to  50  pounds  are  constantly 
being  dyed,  including  hxjse  stock,  yarns  and  ])iece  goods,  so  the 
student  has  the  opportunity  of  doing  considerable  practical  dye- 
house  work.

In  this  course  the  student  hecomes  famihar  with  the  mixing 
qualities  of  dyestuffs  and  obtains  a  good  idea  of  just  how  to 
synthesize  a  compound  shade  by  the  use  of  a  few  dyestuffs.  The 
vakie  of  shade  matching  is  early  impressed  on  the  student  and,  as 
aptitude  and  accuracy  in  this  can  only  be  acquired  by  practice,  each 
student  is  required  to  match  a  large  number  of  shades  on  different 
classes  of  goods  and  with  different  classes  of  dyes.  Throughout  the 
dyeing  course  he  is  constantly  called  upon  to  match  colors  to  be 
dyed  on  large  lots  of  materials.

In  this  course,  the  work  pursued  is  laru;elv  an  extension  of 
Dyeing  111. 

While  the  mineral  and  vegetahle  dyes  are  at  present  but  little 
used  in  comparison  with  the  extensive  application  of  the  coal-tar 
dyes,  their  historical  importance  is  very  great,  and  in  certain  cases 
some  of  them  still  possess  considerable  value. 

The  dyeing  of  materials  containing  more  than  one  fibre  is  mainlv 
carried  out  with  those  dyestuffs  which  will  have  been  studied  in 
detail  in  previous  work.  On  account  of  the  importance  of  this 
branch  of  dyeing,  much  time  is  spent  thereon  and  numerous  color- 
matches  to  given  samples  are  retiinred.

Establishments  in  which  students  have  become  managers  or 
superintendents  :  Capitalization,  $16,000,000 ;  Looms  operated,  18,564, 
to  which  must  be  added  the  necessary  spinning,  dyeing,  and  finishing 
labor  and  machinery. 

Estal:)lishments  in  which  students  have  become  designers  :  Capi- 
talization, $5,500.0110:    Looms  operated,   1,1000. 

A  considerable  number  of  students  have  engaged  in  the  market- 
ing of  goods,  having  become  commission  men,  manufacturers'  agents,

Many  Are  Called  But  Few  Chosen 

Every  year  witnesses  the  birth  of  many  new  articles  of  trade. 
Likewise,  too,  every  year  records  the  death  of  many  unable  to 
cope  with  trade  requirements.     It  is  a  survival  of  the  fittest. 

First  orders  may  be  influenced,  but  con- 
tinuous reorders  can  be  measured  only  by 
the  law  of  profits. 

"Wyandotte''  Yellow  Hoop 

has    survived.      And  not    only  survived,  but    it  tias 
also  continually  gained  in  favor  year  after  year. 

What  you  think,  what  we  think,  cannot  change 

the  record.     If  both  of  us  are  fair  with  ourselves  and 

with  "Wyandotte"  Yellow  Hoop  we  must  assign  to 

it  a  place  among  the  successful.     And  if  it  is  a  suc- 

I  -     .  cessful    product    it  deserves  the    attention   of  every 

j  tiH  i  B.  for*  CompanPi       ^^^  engaged  in  Textile  Industry  since  there  is  where

SPECIAL  NOTICE  TO  OUR  STUDENTS 

WHILE  the  products  of  The  Dobbins  Soap  Mfg.  Co.  are 
widely  known  throughout  the  U.  S.,  and  have  been  for 
the  last  half  century,  their  excellence  is  probably  not  known  to 
the  full  extent  by  the  new  generation,  and  as  the  Dobbins  Co. 
are  always  glad  to  let  their  goods  tell  their  own  story,  they  will 
gladly  send  working  samples  of  their  Soaps,  Softeners  and

If  you  wear  a  flannel  shirt 

it's  worth  while  to  know  who  made  the  flannel — there's  a  dif- 
ference. See  that  the  shirt  you  buy  has  the  above  hanger  in  the 
neckband  showing  that  it's  made  of  the  celebrated,  warranted 

Cherry  Valley  Flannel 

Least  shrinkage  and  greatest  wearing  qualities  of  any  flannel 
made.  Manufactured  by  a  mill  that  was  making  flannel  in 
your  grandmother's  time.     Still  produced  in  Standard  Shades.
