NEW BEDFORD TEXTILE SCHOOL t-)t fi».rR,i-l l -X i 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 Chapter 475, Acts of 1895. The school opened for day students October 1899. The first year enrollment was 11 day students and 183 evening students. The first building w as 64 by 100 feet, three stories high with an annex of 1 2 by 67 feet for the engine and boiler room. In 1902 Knitting and Chemistry depart- ments were added to the curricula. In 1905 due to the increase of students an addition carrying the building to the Maxfield street line was built. The third addition was put up in 1911, on the north side of the original building. These two were connected by a tunnel and bridges. In this addition the Mechanical, Chemistry and Designing departments were established. Another expansion was necessitated in 1922 and the Maxfield street building was extended west to the line of the original building. In this addition, the C. Y. P. and Weaving departments were given ample additions on the first and second floors respec- tively. On the third floor a fine gymnasium was built. At present the school 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. Its equipment represents an outlay of over $275,000 most of which has either been donated or loaned. 10
