1936 THE FABRICATOR HISTORT OF THE SCHOOL Ti HE New Bedford Textile School was established by the trustees and incorporated in accordance with Chapter 475, Acts of 1895. The school opened for day students in October 1899. The first year, enrollment was 11 day students and 183 evening students. The first building was 64 by 100 feet, three stories high with an annex of 12 by 67 feet for the engine addition, the Mechanical, Chemistry and Designing departments were added to the curriculum. In 1905, due to the increase in the enrollment, 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 a bridge. In this addition, the Mechanical, Chemistry and Designing departments were established. Another expansion was necessitated in 1922 and the Max- field Street building was extended west to the line of the original building. In this addition, the C. Y. P. and weaving departments were extended. On the third floor, a fine gymnasium was built. At present, the school is one of the most sanitary, ample, and effi- cient textile schools in the country. The present building contains 100,000 square feet of floor space and over $275,000 worth of equipment. NEW Page six BEDFORD TEXTILE SCHOOL
