It is hoped that this begin- ning may lead to further study of the needs and possibilities for industrial art education in New York City. That this pamphlet may be of service in vocational guidance, we have tried to show clearly, on the one hand, the various industries in which young people with artistic inclinations may find congenial and profitable employment, and, on the other, where training in the art industries may be obtained. The num- ber of blank spaces in the right-hand column of the list of indus- tries indicates how many there are which can be learnt at present only by long years of work in the trade. The old apprenticeship system now exists only in a few lines and in modified form. METHOD OF MAKING THE INVESTIGATION The list of industries was made after careful study of many reports of vocational surveys, notably those of Minneapolis in 1915 ; Cincinnati printing trades, 1914; and Cleveland building trades, 19 16. The investigations carried on by the National Society for the Promotion of Industrial Education, particularly by the committee which cooperated in the Minneapolis survey under the chairmanship of Professor Charles R. Richards, Di- rector of Cooper Union, and the addresses presented at the annual conventions of the National Society, have been freely drawn upon. Government reports used include the Thirteenth THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART United States Industrial Census, 1910; the Report of the Com- missioner of Labor on Industrial Education, 19 10; the Indus- trial Directory of New York, 1913; and the Short-Unit Courses for Wage Earners issued by the U. S. Bureau of La- bor Statistics, 1915. Help in the preparation of the list of trade schools was gained from the Directory of Trades and Occupations Taught at Day and Evening Schools in Greater New York, published by the Henry Street Settlement in 1909 and revised in 19 16. The Scholarship Committee of the Henry Street Settlement has just issued a list of published reports of Investigations of Industries in New York City, 1905-19 15. The more detailed analyses of certain industries are the result of personal investigations, including interviews with heads of firms, designers, and foremen, and observation in workshops and studios. Some of the special studies have been condensed, by special permission, from printed reports and in each case credit is given. The work along industrial art lines being carried on by the Board of Education of the City of New York in its secondary and vocational schools is here brought together for the first time. It was prepared through interviews and correspondence with the Chairman of the Committee on Vocational Education of the Board of Education, Mr. John Martin; the Director of Drawing in the High Schools, Dr. James P. Haney; the Dis- trict Superintendent in charge of Evening Schools, Mr. Henry E. Jenkins; and principals of the various vocational schools and of the Evening Industrial Art School. Answers to the questionnaire sent out by the Museum were received from 43 art schools, trade schools, and art classes in settlements. These, together with printed catalogues, have been analyzed. The total number of schools listed, exclusive of the public'high schools that merely include drawing in their general course, is 61.

Two of the schools in New York City that call themselves schools of fine and applied arts have important normal art departments; Teachers College, which is here counted as one of the normal art schools 1 Thirteenth United States Census, igio. - Designers and draftsmen are grouped together in the national census and separately for New York City ; photographers are not noted in the national census. •' American Art Annual, Volume XI, 1914. Lvii] THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART and also as one of the industrial art schools, has two depart- ments, Fine Arts and Industrial Arts; there is only one sum- mer school which is not part of a winter organization and that, being a normal course, is counted with the normal group, so that all the summer registration in New York is a duplica- tion; although only one school calls itself a school of applied design, design is taught at all except the four purely academic; the evening schools are chiefly devoted to draftsmen. Considering all the above figures, it would seem that in the whole United States there are only about one third as many students in the artistic professions as there are men and women actually engaged in the work; in New York City there are about two thirds as many students as workers. FACILITIES FOR THE STUDENT IN NEW YORK CITY The list of art schools in New York City at first glance seems long and might be supposed to be quite adequate. In reality many of the classes noted are hidden in most unexpected places, hence the great need for this list. Only one independent art school has its own building— the New York School of Applied Design for Women — the name of which, however, shows its limitations. The School of Practical Arts of Teachers Col- lege, Columbia University, is part of a large organization. There are certain advantages in this, for the student is thereby brought into direct contact with many broadening influences; also here a degree may be obtained. Other art schools are similarly situated as part of a large educational organization, but some valuable classes are struggling in very inadequate rented quarters. Several schools are maintained in New York City with the direct cooperation of the trades. A notable example is the School for Printers' Apprentices which is supported jointly by the Employing Printers Section, Typographical Union No. 6, and the Hudson Guild; another is the Technical School for Carriage Draftsmen and Mechanics under the auspices of the Carriage Builders' National Association and the National Au- [ vili 2 THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART tomobile Chamber of Commerce. The Mechanics' Institute of the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen maintains an evening school where over 2,000 young men are enrolled each year, chiefly in the various drafting classes. Another important center is Cooper Union, founded in 1854 by Peter Cooper "to be devoted forever to the union of Art and Science in their application to the useful purposes of Life." Here under one roof are a Museum for the Arts of Decoration, a Woman's Art School with day sessions, a Night Art School for Men, and day and evening School of Technical Science for Men and Wo- men. The report of the Night Art School for Men for 191 5- 191 6 shows 1,423 registered as follows: mechanical drawing 723, freehand drawing 451, decorative design 170, and model- ing 79. An analysis of the occupations of these young men dur- ing the day shows that 380 are clerks, bookkeepers, etc.; 144 draftsmen; iii designers and artists; 88 carpenters and wood- workers; 69 jewelers and silversmiths; 66 engravers and illus- trators; 6^ masons and builders; 6^ salesmen; 57 teachers and students; 55 in clothing trades; 49 painters and decorators; 45 plumbers and ironworkers; 39 printers and electrotypers; 29 stone-cutters and wood-carvers; 14 electricians; 11 sign paint- ers; 9 civil engineers; and 9 machinists. When we come to examine what our public school system is doing for industrial art education we find that the only profes- sional work being done in the day schools is at the Washington Irving High School, where there are courses in commercial design and in costume illustration that lead directly into the trades. In 24 of the evening high schools there are classes in mechanical, architectural, and freehand drawing; three of these schools teach commercial design, four costume illustra- tion, one industrial design, one cabinet making, and one clay modeling. Through the cooperation of the District Superin- tendent in charge of the evening schools, 17 replies were re- ceived by the Museum from the request for information. The total registration in the art classes at these 17 evening high schools was 1,572, divided as follows: mechanical drawing 633; architectural drawing 264; freehand drawing 371; com- mercial design 90; industrial design 33; costume Illustration [ix: THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART 319; cabinet making 44; and clay modeling 20. In October, 1 9 13, the New York Evening Industrial Art School was opened in a building that is used during the day for an ele- mentary school. Here highly specialized branches are taught to about 500 adults. Florence N. Levy. Cx] INDUSTRIES The following list gives the \arious occupations that require a know- ledge of drawing, design, modeling, and color, or of anj' one of these or related courses. Processes and important branches of art studj' are also listed. Tlie second column analyzes the course of study, and an asterisk (*) shows that a further analysis, with information regarding wages, etc., is given in the chapter, page 2i. The census figures are from the Thir- teenth Census of the United States, 1910. The third column indicates schools where the course is offered. The guide letters and numbers (Cutter library system) refer to the list of schools on page 29. Under general headings all schools are listed where the subject is taught; when a school distinctly offers a course in some special phase of the subject, only this school is noted ; so it is always wise to use general headings as cross references. For instance, flower painting can be learnt in all schools that teach painting, but only one school offers Flower Painting as a separate subject.
