REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES.

To the Commissioner of Ecl1lcation .

The Trust ees of t he K e" · Bedford T extile School submit th e follo\ying repor t of t he school for the year ending June 30, 1920.

ATTEXD.\XCE OF STuDEKTS.

The entering day class in t he fall of 1919 " oas t hree t im es la rger th an th a t of a ny entering d ass in t he histor:,o of t he schoo!. Some of t his increase " oas due t o th e attend ance of so me men who \IOere more Ot" less disabled during th e great \\" a r and \IOere seeking rehabilitation . But the larger p art is due t o th e conviction forced upon the mind s of ~ ooung men a nd Iloo me n by the war , as neyer before, t hat broad knoldedge a nd techni­cal t raining a re necessary to insure efficiency and success in th e occupations of life in t his da~o .

The attendance in the day cl asses as a whole was 41 pupils in excess of any previous year . The two upper classes were small , o" oing to the efl'ects of the " oar, or a st ill better sho\IOing \yould ha, oe been made.

The registration and att endance upon the e,oening cl asses " aried but little from th e years 191G- 17 a nd 1917- 18. The registration ami attendance for t he three .\"Cars prior to th e fa ll of 1919 \IOere somellohat smaller th a n t he year the U nited States entered the war, due to t\IOO causes: first, many mills running at night on \yar \IOork ; second, the enli stment and drafting of men into the service. Wh en norma l condition s a re restored t he attendance will doubt less increase.

The difference bet\yeen t he regist ration and th e attendance is due t o several causes ; first, there a re many applicants \\'h o cannot be rece ived in th e machine shop for lack of room and machines; second, there are t hose \\-ho register for courses in electrical or steam engineering \\'ho do not possess the qualifi­cations necessary t o t ake either course and are not admitted ; there is also a large cont ingent \\'ho register each year \\·ho for various reasons cannot attend.

The st udents att ending t he e\'ening classes are mainly res i­dents of Ke,,' Bedford, and most of th em are empl o~'ed in t he mill s. There arc quite a number, ho\\'e\'er, who li,'e in adj oin­ing to\YnS and are employed chiefl y in the mills here. There is, ho\\'e\'el' , ah\'Uys a contingent of st uo ents attending t he evening cl asses \\·ho are employed in other than text il e manu­facturing, but many of them ha\'e ul t imately in " iew some con­nection wit h textile \\'ork.

METHODS OF I XSTRUCTION.

In all branches of the \\'ork t hat deal \\'ith machinery, t he instruction is di\'ided into lecture \\'ork and practice. In the lectures the machines are t aken up in detail; each operation is explained and each part of eyery machine thoroughly illustrated . In th e practice work the students are required t o put into practice the knowledge th ey haye obtained in lectures. The machines are taken apart by the cl asses, assembled, and each part set in th e most approYed manner. Each student is th en required to familiarize himself \\·ith the construction and set-

t ing of the machines t o produce the results requ ired. Certain hoUT's are also devoted to t he actual operat ion of t he machinery, and the students are required t o t urn out th e product exact ly as ""ould be th e case in a mill.

In the designing department instruction is giyen in fr eehand dra,,"ing, cOlwent ionali zing of form s from nature and in color ; designing and analyz ing cotton cloth , beginning \'"ith the simple weayes and leading up t o the most adyanced cloth construc­t ion" This instruct ion is supplemented by the \york on t he hand looms and also on po \\"er looms, on \\"hich the student weayes his o\yn design.

Instru ction in th e mechanical depart ment embraces me­chanics, mechanical dra\\"ing, st eam and electrical engineering and practical " "ork in th e machine shop . Pract ical demonst ra­tions of t he instruct i'on giyen in st eam and electrical enginef'ring are made on t he po" "er plants inst all ed in th e school.

Instruction in the depart ment of chemistn - is giyen by cl osely relat ed lectures and laboratory courses with frequent recitat ions. T he subj ects taught a rc general chemistry and elementary dyeing, foll o\\"ed by adyanced courses in (0) quali t atiye and quant itatiye analysis and their appl ications to t ext il es ; (b) organic chemist ry and preparat ion of synt het ic d;rest uffs; and (c) chcmical technology of t extile fibers, and the bleaching, dyeing and finishing of cotton on a commercial scalc.

Special emphasis is placed on laboratory \york, accurate, concordant results being requ ired and original t hought en­couraged.

COLIlSES OF I KSTRccTIOx"

T E ACHING FORCE AND ITS DuTIES.

The teaching force of the school comprises six heads of de­partments, viz., \veaving and ,,'arp preparation, designing, carding and spinning, chemistry and dyeing, knitting, and engineering and mechanical drafting. Each of these heads of departments has general charge of the instruction in his depart­ment, both in the theory and practice of the operation. H e must possess a thorough kuO\\'ledge of t he mechanism of the \'arious machines used in his department and the necessary

sett ings to produce the ~'a rn or cloth , etc., and man~' other things that call for expert knoldedge and p ract ical skill in app lication.

These department heads are assisted bl' in stru ctors both da~' and eYening, \\'ho mu st be skilled in some particul ar line of 1I'0rk in the depactment in ,,·hich he sen'es. There are at present se\'en day assistants \I·ho sen'e in t he el'en ing aiso, and some t hirty-fi\'e different e\'ening inst ructors sen'ing from one to four nights each I\'eek for tll'O terms of thirteen ,,'eeks each.

The heads of departments prepare all lectures on subjects of their department. They usually gin t hese lectures to t he st udent s, at times aided by t he assistant instructors. They also inst ruct in the practice II'ork, aided by t heir assista nts.

The sellool is for t unate in the character of it s t eaching force. The hcads of the departments are all men I\'h o had atta ined marked success in t he text ile industry before t he." became C011-nected I\' ith the school. Seyer'al of t hem ha\'e been Il'ith t he school for many years. As the attendance at t he school grCII' and othcr instru ctors Il'e re employed, care was taken to select those \I'ith a gooel personali ty as \I'ell as being proficient in t he subjects they " 'ere to teach. So me of the present-day instruc­tors a re gradu ates of t he school, and a number of t he el'ening instructors. Comparat i,'e ly fell' of the inst ructors ba\'e left t hc school haying once joined t he teaching forcc, and t his has bcen a substant ial factor in giying the school t he effi ciency for \\'hi ch it is noted.

l\IAClII );,ERY.

Each year the Trustees have gi\'en in t heir report to t he Legislature a deta il ed statement of all machinery in use in the school, ,,'hether mmed by the school or loaned to it . This seemed an unnecessary " 'aste of effort, and by agreement " 'it h the Commissioner of Educat ion a list of the machinery to date is fil ed in his office for reference, and each year hereafter only such machiner~' as is added during t he year \\'ill be reported.

Ko nell' machines ha\'e been purchased for the school duri ng the :year, nor ha\'e any been added to its equipment by gift or loan in t hat time. M any of t he machines ha\'e been in use for a number of yeal'p, and will need rene\\'al \'ery soon. More

Page 17: OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE NEW BEDFORD TFXTILE SOHOOL

machines also are needed in seyeral departments to canyon the 'york of th e school adnmtageousb'.

The ya lue of t he machinery O\med b~' t he school is approxi­matel~' 81:25,000, and it is doubtful if it could be replaced for thn.t sum. In addit ion t here are loaned to the school by dif­ferent manufacturers machines to the ya lue of S20,000 at least.

In add it ion to the aboye the school is equipped ,\" ith such furniture as is necessary for an inst itution of t his chn.racter, valued at S13,49:2; also supplies to the yalue of SlO,OOO.

TUE 13 UILDI~G S OF TUE S CHOOL.

1\ 0 addit ion h its been made to t he bui ldings for ten years. In the fa ll of 1911 t he building kno\m as the Hecitat ion Build­ing '\"a s compl eted and occupied. This building contains a number of recitation room s, t he chemical l aborator~' , the fini shing and cI.\·eing department, the machine shop, the en­gineering and electrical laborator ies, and the assembly hall. The const ruction of th is building permitted a difrerent a lloca­t ion of the mach iner~' in t he machinery bu ilding to accommo­date t he picker 1'00111, t he carding and spinning department on one floor , t he ,,'ea\'ing department on another floor, and the knitting department on the third floor, thu s enablin g t he school to care for both t he day and eyen ing students fa irly well unt il a ~ 'ear ago.

In 1911, " ,hen the last addition ,\'as made to the school buildings, t here ,,'ere in operation in the city 2,9:39,884 spindl es and 54,282 looms, and t he number of operatives ,\'as 31,140. :\ ecording to t he last al'ailable report, made a year ago, there " 'e re in operat ion in t he ci t~ · :~,451,1:20 spindles, 56,0:32 looms, and the number of operatiYes \\'as 38,860. Within the year a large silk mill has been built in t he city wh ich will add approxi­mately 50,000 spindl es and 4,000 operatil'es. Another yarn mill is under const ruction ,,'hich will add 116,000 spindles and in t he neighborhood of 1,000 operatives.

The demand upon the resources of t he school has in t he past in creased in about th e same ratio as the number of operatives in the city. It mu st therefore be apparent that, being alread y

\yi t hout sufficient room and machinery t o ca re for the students applying, \re shall soon be co mpell ed to refu se admiss ion to many and to gin inferior sen 'ice if reli ef is not fort hcoming.

The Trustees last year asked the Supervisor of Administra­t ion to include in the St at e Budget an appropri ation of :375,000 t o purchase land and erect th ereon an addition to the present buildings of th e schooL They submitted sket ch plans for t he addition, and set forth the reasons in full \\'hy t he request \\'as made.

They again petit ion for this addition, and haye amended their petition of last year by making th e a mount asked for t o read :3125,000 instead of 875,000, as th ey belieye the larger amount " ,ill be needed to carry out the plans at the present time.
