A Scientific American article from 1897 describing the newly established Lowell Textile School in Lowell, Massachusetts. It covers the school's equipment, trustees, director, and its four courses (cotton manufacturing, woolen manufacturing, designing, dyeing), with day and evening classes. It also surveys the machinery, including power looms, jacquards, dobby and carpet looms, and argues for trade schools in industrial competition. Three photographs show the woolen spinning rooms and a hand loom weave room.
