PRESS COMMENTS.
A Model School of Industrial Art.
We cannot, at this time, speak of its provisions by which drawing, modeling, designing, etc., are taught; but we desire to call particular attention to the facilities that are offered for a practical instruction in weaving and textile design. Special courses are provided for teaching designing for all varieties of textile fabrics, and its practical application to loom work. As a complete course in its theoretical and practical utility we do not hesitate to say it is without an equal in America. A school of this kind is of the highest importance to the manufacturing community that centres about Philadelphia.—Boston Journal of Commerce.
An American Textile School.
The Textile Department of the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art clearly fulfils the requirements of a good Textile School, and the promise is that it will speedily become one of the best in the world, as it is now decidedly the most advanced in this country. Pupils are taught designing for all varieties of textile fabrics, and to make them thoroughly familiar with loom work, so that they may be able not only to prepare their own designs, but also to reproduce their own patterns in the cloth.
This institution, by fitting young Americans for exact scientific work in the textile industries, will confer a huge benefit upon them and upon the nation.—The Textile Record of America.

Many scholars who have been at this school in former years are now filling responsible and profitable positions.—The Bulletin, Phila.
