LOWELL TEXTILE SCHOOL.

The Lowell Textile School situated at Lowell, Mass., on the bank of the Merrimack River, has a location which is ideal for a school of the character. It is but a few miles from Boston, the hub of the educational influence of the country, and with the local atmosphere of textile manufacturing a student has exceptional advantages to pursue his chosen line of work. The school offers five regular day courses, namely: Cotton Manufacturing, Wool Manufacturing, Designing, Chemistry and Dyeing, and Textile Engineering. The latter course commenced with the opening of the present school year, and aims to include a thorough instruction in Mechanical Engineering with special reference to the construction and operation of machines and mills. It also embraces a study of the generation and transmission of power for textile manufacturing. It is intended to meet a demand of young men who wish to prepare themselves for positions as Mill Engineers, Master Mechanics and all positions connected with the power department of a textile industry.

The department of Chemistry and Dyeing has been greatly strengthened by additional equipment, including expensive laboratory apparatus and a large amount of machinery for the commercial dyeing department. This includes a raw stock dyer, skein dyer, a chain warp dyer, jig dyer, piece dyer, drying cans, raw stock dryer, etc.; also, a number of dye tubs for piece dyeing. Before the beginning of the next school year the color shop and industrial chemistry laboratory will be located in a separate room especially equipped for this line of work.
