Textile Department of North Carolina State College

During the past year the Textile Department of the State College, which is the Textile School of North Carolina, has had a larger registration than in any previous year, and a larger graduating class.

To keep pace with the development of the textile industry in the State and in the South $70,000 has been appropriated for an addition to the present Textile Building and $35,000 for additional equipment. This will place the Textile College of North Carolina in the front rank and make it one of the best equipped schools in the country for instruction in cotton manufacturing.

Graduates of this school are filling responsible positions in the mill and allied industries, such as second hands, overseers, secretaries, treasurers, machinery salesmen, dye salesmen, etc.

During the past year several donations have been made to the Textile School, the most important being two complete humidifying systems, one by Parks-Cramer Company, Charlotte, North Carolina, for the carding and spinning room, and one by the Bahson Company, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for the weave room. The Whitin Machine Works also donated an eight-head comb er of the latest type.
