A Model School of Industrial Art.
We cannot, at this time, speak of its provisions by which drawing,
modeling, designing, etc., are taught; but we desire to call particular
attention to the facilities that are offered for a practical
instruction in _weaving and textile design_. Special courses are
provided for _teaching designing_ for all varieties of _textile
fabrics_, and its _practical application to loom work_. As a complete
course in its theoretical and practical utility we do not hesitate to
say it _is without an equal in America_. A school of this kind is of
the highest importance to the manufacturing community that centres
about Philadelphia.--_Boston Journal of Commerce._
An American Textile School.
_The Textile Department_ of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of
Industrial Art clearly fulfils the requirements of a good Textile
School, and the promise is that it will speedily become one of the best
in the world, as it is now decidedly the most advanced in this country.
Pupils are taught _designing for all varieties of textile fabrics_, and
to make them _thoroughly familiar with loom work_, so that they may be
able not only to prepare their own designs, but also to reproduce their
own patterns in the cloth.
This institution, by fitting young Americans for exact scientific work
in the textile industries, will confer a huge benefit upon them and
upon the nation.--_The Textile Record of America._

Many scholars who have been at this school in former years are now
filling responsible and profitable positions.--_The Bulletin, Phila._
