municipal authority of their town, and their governing body generally, besides

The City of Bradford School of Art
Haedmaster: Mr. C. Stephenson, A.R. C.A.
The Exhibit represents that section of the School work whi A is associated
with the principal trade of the City. The sAeme is planned to give an education
in practical designing for textile fabrics, and on suA lines that the students may
learn not only the artistic laws whiA govern a design, but also the type of design
required by the local trade.
This special class is composed of students from the Textile Industries
Department of the Bradford TeAnical College. They are being trained there
with a view of becoming designers, manufacturers, or merAants. The day stu^
dents attend the SAool of Art three halfdays per week, and the evening students
one evening per week, the remainder of the time being devoted to practical work
in the TeAnical College.
A large proportion of the students do not intend becoming designers, but
take the subject to improve their taste, and assist them in selecting designs when
they enter the trades of manufacturers, or merAants.
The system of instruction is partly class work and partly individual work.
There are also weekly lectures on the principles of design, historic textiles,
and colour.
In the Bradford textile trade, wool, mohair, and silk enter into the manu-
facture of a great variety of fabrics, suA as dress goods, tapestries, furniture
coverings, velvets, etc.
The Kidderminster School of Art
Headmaster: Mr. R. B. Dawson, A. R. C. A.
is essentially a carpet designers' training sAool. Some 75 designers attend the
