. . . CAiew Jjeafora (textile School Theoretically and practically the New Bedford Textile School is at the top of the list. If academic subjects might be introduced here, there would be no better school of its kind to be found, as a B.S. degree would increase its popularity and student body. However, what there is to be found here is not to be looked down upon. There have been, until a few years past, three main day curriculas ; namely, Cotton Manufacturing, Chemistry, Dyeing and Finishing, and Mechanical Course. For the past few years the Rayon Course has been gaining in popularity. The Girls ' Course has acquired and expects to acquire more and more coeds. f[ The Cotton Manufacturing Course acquaints the student with the manufacture of yarn and the subsequent weaving of cloth from this yarn. The first two years are spent in acquiring the foundation of cotton manufacturing and the allied subjects. The third year is spent in making and weaving originals. Some microscopy is also taught so as to give the students some knowledge in identifying fibres. Three years of designing and analysis are also included in this course. The Chemistry, Dyeing and Finishing Course is excellent for anyone who wishes to adopt either or all of these for his vocation. The first two years include a basic training for Chemistry and Dyeing. The third year is more advanced and includes the Finishing of Fabric. Many practical subjects as machine shop practice, economics, microscopy, etc., are included in this course. rX ] The Mechanical Course is recommended for mechanically-minded individuals. It is a two year course consisting principally of machine shop practice, drafting and electricity. fl The Rayon Preparation Course recently incorporated in the school, gives com- plete instruction in Rayon Preparation and Analysis, Weaving and Original Patterns as well as designing and other interesting subjects. ff The new Girls ' Course trains the girls to be laboratory technicians, designers, etc. The course is of two year duration. jf Due to prevailing conditions the school has adopted Nutrition and Defense Classes. The Defense Classes are held in Special Night Classes, and the attendance boasts many women students.
