CARROLL ASSISTANT STENOGRAPHER JosePH Foster ENGINEER MAIN BUILDING wratt Ynstitute AIM AND SCOPE 2RATT INSTITUTE was established after many years of investigation on the part of its founder, Mr. Charles Pratt, of Brooklyn. Its object is to promote manual and industrial education, as well as cultivation in Lit- erature, Science, and Art; to inculcate habits of indus- try and thrift; and to foster all that makes for right living and good citizenship. In accordance with these principles, the work of the Institute is prosecuted upon four several lines, with four distinct aims in view. 1. EDUCATIONAL, pure and simple: the purpose being the harmonious development of the faculties, as in the work of the High School. 2. NorMat: the ultimate aim being the preparation of the student to become a teacher. Normal training is at present given in the Departments of Art, of Domestic Science, of Domestic Art, and of Kindergartens. | 3. TECHNICAL: or special training to secure practical skill in the various branches of Industrial and Domestic Art, the Handi- crafts, and the Mechanical Trades. 4. SUPPLEMENTARY AND SPECIAL: intended for the benefit of those who wish to supplement the training of school or college by attention to special subjects conducing to more intelligent di- rection of domestic, financial, social, or philanthropical interests; such training as is given in the Kindergarten, Domestic Science, Library School, and other classes. The Institute is provided with a liberal endowment, which enables it to make a merely nominal charge for tuition, and at the same time to secure the best talent and facilities for the accom- plishment of its aim and purpose. Pratt Institute occupies four large buildings—the Main Build- ing, the High School Building, the Science and Technology Build- ing, and the Trade School Building. Ground has already been broken for another building which shall contain large additional accommodations for students, as well as for the public features of the Institute work, such as the Museum, Auditorium, Lecture Halls, and Library. The Institute is under the control of a Board of Trustees, with a Secretary as executive officer. It is divided into depart- ments, the director of each being directly responsible for the work thereof. Instruction is given to both sexes in day and evening classes. The terms for day classes extend from September to July, and for the evening, from October to April. The first class was organized October 16, 1887, and num- bered twelve pupils in drawing. At present there are nine differ-.- ent departments with a total enrollment of 3,940 pupils. 9 The registration for the year 1891-92 was as follows: High School : : Department of Industrial and Fine Arts Department of Domestic Art and Science Department of Science and Technology Music Department Department of Commerce Library Classes In more than one department Individuals enrolled Members of The Thrift Members of The Library Day.

THREE YEARS’ COURSE FOR *BOYS-AND GIRLS SHE course is designed for those who have completed the equivalent of the work required to graduate from an ordinary grammar school. It includes a thorough and comprehensive training of mind and body, by means of the study of Language and Literature, Mathematics, History, and the Sciences, along with extensive prac- tice in Drawing, Tool-work, Domestic Science, Domestic Art, Music, and Physical Culture. The first aim of the school is to fit graduates for life work in general: the second, to prepare those who are to continue their education in advanced scientific or technical schools. The INstTRucTION is under the supervision of special depart- ments of the Institute. Each teacher is accordingly a specialist. The Buitpincs of the School are spacious, attractive, and well ventilated. The INstiruTE LIBRARY of 40,000 volumes is made a con- stant aid to the work of the School. The Work IN SCIENCE is in- dividual and experimental. The laboratories are five in number; devoted respectively to work in PHYSICS Biology, Physics, Chemistry (with lecture hall), Strength or Materials, and Steam. Each accommodates twenty-five pupils at a time. The WorKsHopPs are seven in number: joinery, lathe-room, forge-shop, foundry, tin-shop, vise-room for iron, and machine shop for iron, each accommodating twenty-five pupils at a time. SPECIAL FACILITIES.—The studios, laboratories, kitchens, and class rooms of the Art, Domestic Science, and Science and Tech- nology Departments, are used by the High School students. The GYMNASIUM is equipped with a complete apparatus, and has a special teacher for girls and one for boys. The ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, open to both boys and girls, has free tennis-courts, and fields 4. for base-ball, foot-ball, archery, and general athletics. Opportunities for GENERAL CULTURE in the form of Lecture Courses, Concerts and Entertain- el is i ments in the halls of the Institute paige phage a are numerous. PRACTICE of eye, brain, ear, and hand under intelligent super- vision and friendly criticism, is in general, the method by which the instruction of the school is given. Five Hours, five days in the week, are devoted to Recita- tion, Shop Work, and Drawing. THREE Hours of outside study is the maximum required for preparation of each day’s lessons. Pupils requiring a longer time are insufficiently prepared for taking up the work of the school. FAITHFUL Work and satisfactory progress are strictly re- quired as a condition of remaining in the school. EXAMINATIONS in Geography, United States History, Spelling, Grammar, Arithmetic, and Algebra (through simple equations), must be passed by all applicants before entering the school. 12 FORGING These are held on June 23-24 and September 18-19, 1893. Can- didates for advanced standing must pass, in addition to the above, examinations on studies previously pursued by the class which they wish to enter. The Expenses per term (three terms to each year) are: first year $10, second year $15, third year $20. Pupils furnish their own books, drawing instruments, and shop suits.

CLAY-MODELING. The work of the classes in Clay-modeling is in four divi- sions: the first supplements drawing from the antique and from life; the second, for students of the Normal Class, includes work from ornament, from the round, and from life; the third meets the requirements of pupils in the Architectural and Wood-carving Classes; the fourth, planned for evening students, gives artistic training, especially adapted to the needs of artisans and designers. TECHNICAL DESIGN—TWO TO THREE YEARS. This course provides thorough instruction in the principles of _ Decorative and Applied Design, 16 NORMAL CLASS and in the technical methods of practical application, and qual- ifies students as professional de- signers. ?
