Demands OF Textile Education.

At recent meeting OF the Watauga
club, Of Raleigh. ~ c., the urgent need
OF schools for textile education in tn,
South was discussed fully. Some OF the
arguments brought forward at this meet
ing deserve special study, and perhaps
the best summary OF these arguments
which can be made is contained in the
following paragraph. taken from enc OF
the papers read before the club:
The apprentice system is a thing Of
the past and will never be revived The
great revolution wrought by steam and
electric machinery in all branches Of mill
operations has made high-srade technical
training an absolute necessity and IT. or
der to develop efficient managers of men
and machinery. the groundwork for his
training and education must hereafter be
obtained in industrial or technical schools
in the same way that men are prepared
by special training to eventually occupy
high positions in law and medicine. The
employment OF a boy or man on q special
machine will seldom develop leader or
manager. without some previous instruc-
ton on general subjects"
In connection with the effort which is
now being made 10 raise 10000 by pOpu-
lar subscription in order 10 make avail

The ancient painters and sculpt)rs Of
Central America have not left specimens
Of high art, but they are far above those
Of North America. There is in their hui
man dclineatons no uniformity which
gives them value as the representations
o, a living people. Living artists have no
other standard than the persons by whom
they are surrounded. The Italian heads
Of Christ present the Italian features.
not the Jewish. on account of the uni
formity Of design in Central American
statues and painting, we feel a conscious
pcss that we see i'm them the prominent
features OF the ancient people, whose
ruins remain 10 our times. We cannot say
as much of the ruins Of the Mississippi
Valley. The builders here have not left

their portraits nor any written or even
pictorial record Of themselves.
