student is required continually to consult books of reference on the various subjects taught, to develop habits of original research. For this purpose, a well-selected library is owned by the school and, by special arrangement, the students at the school may consult any book in the large public library of the City of New Bedford.

Students wishing a more exhaustive course may pursue a third year, the greater part of which is devoted to special work of practical interest to the students in question.

GEORGIA SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY.

The A. French Textile School.

The general course of instruction in this department of the school has been extended and broadened in its scope during the past year. Students in this department are given a thorough course in all shop work, academic, and engineering subjects in connection with the study of those branches relating directly to the textile industry and commonly taught in a textile school.

The school offers two courses with reference to textile subjects: First, a regular four-year course, leading to a degree of Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering; second, a special two-year course, designed to meet the demands of a limited number of students who may not have the time or the means to pursue the regular course.

The course in Textile Chemistry and Dyeing is attended by all students in this department. The instruction in Elementary and the more Advanced Chemistry is taken up during the first two years of the course. The subjects of Textile Chemistry, Bleaching, and Dyeing are commenced at the end of this time and their study continued for the remaining two years, the work in these subjects being done by means of notes, lectures, recitations from the text, experimental laboratory, and dyehouse practice. In order to make the work in this department more practical, all dyed and bleached yarns used in the Weaving Department are prepared in our dyehouse by the students.

All special students are given a preliminary course in Elementary Chemistry before beginning the subjects of Bleaching and Dyeing. During the past year new equipment has been added to the Dyeing and Bleaching Department, and our capacity for doing work in accordance with new and up-to-date methods greatly increased.
