HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL THE New Bedford Textile School was established by the Trustees of The New Bedford Textile School, and incorporated in accordance with Chap- ter 475, Acts of 1895. The school opened for day students October 16th, 1899 and for evening students October 23rd, 1899. The number of students attending the first year 1899-1900 was 11 day students and 183 evening students. The first building consisted of three stories with a small basement. The main building was 64 x 100 ft., with an annex of 1 2 x 67 ft., on the ground floor for engine and boiler room. The power was a small 40 HP. motor with rope and belt transmissions. In 1902 the Knitting and Chemistry departments were added. The second addition was made in 1905. built on the south side, carrying the build- ing to the Maxfield Street line. This addition was necessary due to the rapidly increasing number of day and evening students, and called for a rearrangement of the departments and equipment. The third addition was finished in 1911, joined to the original building by a bridge and a tunnel. This addition was properly equipped for theoretical and practical training in the Mechanical and Chemistry courses, and also con- tains class rooms for lecture work. The fourth addition came in 1922. The Maxfield Street building being carried West to the line of the original building. This addition was three stories high, the first floor giving the C. Y. P. department an ample addition where spinning frames, winders and twisters were located. The second floor was added to the Weave room, and finally the third floor included a fine gym- nasium. The school at the present time is one of the most sanitary, ample and efficient textile schools in the country. The present building contains 50 rooms with over 100,000 square feet of floor space. The School now has more than $275,000 worth of equipment, about one half of which has been either do- nated or loaned.
