Carolina and the South-The
Call is for Well Trained, In
dustrious, Capable and Pro-
gressive Young Men Who
Can Do Things-Fine Open
ings Through the Agricul-
turaI and Mechanical Col
lege-Modern Textile De-
partment.
We have received from Prof. Thorn
as Nelson, director OF the Textile De
partment of the North Carolina Col
lpge of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts, samples OF cloth designed and
woven by students OF that institution
which interest us very much. In the
circular letter accompanying these
samples and the following article
which we are requested to publish,
Prot Nelson says: "As YOU are
aware, the textile industry is very
important part Of the business OF
North Carolina. We are endeavor-
ing to train young men ofNorth Car
DINA for responsible positions in the
mills" &c. Following is the article
in question, which the GOLD LEAF is
giving publicity believing that it
could not render a greater service to
the young men and to the State OF
North Carolina than by getting them
interested in the great work that is
being done by the A. & NJ. College not
only in the textile department but in
every other branch taught there and
inducing them to attend this institu-
ton and prepare themselves for LIES
work by taking some specific course
in technology:
"The textile industry needs well
trained, industrious and progressive
young men. The mill business Is one
OF the largest industries of the South
and for an intelligent, we'll trained
young man the opportunities for adj
vancement cannot be excelled. AS
the South, especially North Carolina,
is beginning to make finer and fam
cier goods, the demand for these men
increases.
"The Textile Department at the A.
and NJ. College is exceptionally vel
equipped for instruction in cotton
, manufacturing, and is doing it's share
: in the work of equipping young men
for these positions. Every machine
/ that is in use in cotton mill Is in
2 Guided in the equipment of this tex
tile school, from the cotton gin anC
5 picker to the loom on which the clotl
is made The students are system
} atically instructed in their work sc
2 that they not only receive theoreti
r cal training but also systematic
= practical training.
"Many OF the graduates of this de
partment are holding responsible po
: sitions in the mills and other work
: connected with the mill business
. These positions include cotton mil
/ superintendent, overseers, SECOND
J hands, section hands, overseers o
dyeing, machinery craftsmen anC
3 statesmen, textile chemists, etc.
: Three courses OF instruction are
s offered:
: '"The four-year course, which moi
only includes all textile work, but
: the regular college instruction il
: mathematics, drawing, chemistry
: etc, and leads to the degree OF B. Z
, 1.-The two-year course, which is In
h tended for young men who cannot
e take the full course. In this cours'
e thorough instruction is given in cot
4 ton manufacturing, together will
such subjects as machine shop, forg
D work, practical dyeing, etc.-all thu
+, work tending to make an all-rount
D mill man.
e 1.-The four-year course in textil
8 chemistry and dyeing. In this cours'
e the students are given q certain
e amount of practical textile work, bu
n the major portion of the work is il
g chemistry and dyeing. The depart
Y ment has a well equipped laborator,
d for instruction in dyeing, both ex
Il perimental and practical"
Q As the Wilson Times well say
o in commenting on the work bein,
n done by the North Carolina Agricul
tural md Mechanical College, "this !
q the kind of education that will equiv
= our boys and girls for their life work
s A literary and industrial education
+ will fit any child to earn living an
n competence if there is any founda
= ton whatever to build upon. It ha
:. been our observation that man.
[ brilliant minds at school have mad
Y the greatest failures because the
overestimated their capacity and Eel
o into positions for which their talent
II were never intended. Training count
Is for more than any thing elss and wit
n the proper training in any callinj
r good results may be achieved"
