THE TEXTILE SCHOOL.
The Textile Department of the A.
and NJ. College III this city will be
placed under the management of the
new instructor. Mr. X. NJ. Wilson, on
September |. In the Charlotte Observ-
or we find in the following some inter-
estinS statements of Mr.. Wilson, now
in Charlotte, and reproduce them as q
matter OF general interest TO the
friends of the college and textile edu-
cation In Raleigh and throughout the
State:
I'm spite of the fact that there Is no
building set apart for textile purposes"
said Mr.. Wilson yesterday, I'VE pur-
pose 10 go ahead with the work by
obtaining textile equipment in the way
OF machinery necessary to instruct in
the manufacturing. The Agricultural
and Mechanical College has set apart
the college chapel for the department.
This is room in the basement of the
building SOILS feet. In this will be
installed as much textile machinery as
way 10 illustrate the general processes
of cotton manufacturing. The ma
chinery VIII include cards. drawing
frames. fly frames. spinning frames.
ing the machinery will he electric
power transmitted from the electric
plant of the college. The machinery
donated so far has been the following:
From the Draper Company, HopedaIe.
Mass, two Northrop Draper looms
one n rs inch print cloth loom, and
the other the loom rugged up for fine
harness work; from the u. y. Temp
kins Company. ono Tompkins reel and
some Specialties. Besides these orders
have been placed FOR hand looms for
teaching the clements OF weaving.
This equipment will he added during
the present summer until the full com
plement of machinery is obtained.
The work in the school Will include
the general processes of carding, spin
ming ana weaving. About 20 students
will start the course in September and
the probabilities are that this number
will be largely augmented during the
year. The department will establish
o system of instruction that will re-
fleet the needs and conditions OF the
cotton manufacturing as it is carried
on in the South; and 1t is purposed
thoroughly instill the methods of cot
ton manufacturing and givc he stu
dent an opportunity to extend his
knowledge
The textile department % the A. and
NJ. College was inauEurs ted q year
ago, and an application was made To
the Legislature for Il gum of money to
build and equip n small textile school.
After n severe fight in the Legislature
the effort To obtain the appropriation
was defeated. This year. however re-
newed efforts will be made to interest
the Legislature In the measure ana to
secure the appropriation. This viii,
put North Carolina on a footing win
South Carolina Georgia and Miissis-
sippi, which has appropriated $4,000
for a textile school. the plans for which
are now completed BY the d. y. Tomp-
kins Company.
