FOR THE

PROMOTION OF INDUSTRY.

The Netherland Society for the promotion of
Industry is established in 1777 as a branch of the
Dutch Society of Sciences at Haarlem, with the
special vocation to improve the different branches
of national Industry by the application of science.

Until the year 1797 it was known as the Eco-
nomical Branch of the Dutch Society of Sciences;
then this name was changed into ^^Dutch Economical
Society". Its present name dates from the year
1836.

The Society, established at Haarlem, its native
town, has 30 branches throughout the whole Country,
established under the name of departments, in the
principal towns. The number of its members is
2074. The Board of Management is composed of6

12 members, assisted by a General Secretary-
Treasurer. The Directors are elected for 4 years
and are not re-elected for the next year. The
Departements have their own administration and
receive part of the contribution from each of their
members. At the general annual meeting of the
Society every Departement is represented by its
Deputies.

The Society is based on the same principles as
the London Society of Arts, viz: Encouragement
of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, and more
particularly:

1.	Agriculture.

2.	Arts and Manufactures.

3.	Commerce, Navigation, Fisheries.

The Rules of the Society are submitted to a
total revision every 10 years. In the first period
of its existence, the Society applied itself more
especially to restore several ancient national indus-
tries of the Netherlands, highly renowned in the
17th Century, but reduced to a state of decay
through several circumstances and political distur-
bances.

At this period the Society offered a great number
of premiums for improvement and inventions iij7

arts, manufactures, commerce etc., it enabled several
young artists to continue their studies in Italy; it
established schools for different branches of manu-
factures and offered subsidies for the education of
young sailors.

From the year 1831 till i860 the Society was
the first to introduce the elements of physical and
chemical sciences into the schools for the working
classes. It established in several towns its Industrial
Schools, which were of great utility at a time in
which such branches of instruction as are taught
there, were not admitted on the programme for
the work in public schools.

The Society was one of the first to introduce in our
Country the so called Relieving Banks(W ulpbanken),
which supply small sums at a minimum interest
to working men and small traders.

Since its'foundation the Society has offered about
2000 premiums, for reward on proposed prize-
questions, and adjusted 905 of them, besides the
prizes awarded by the Juries of its numerous ex-
hibitions.

The premiums are Medals of Gold, Silver and
Bronze. They are published in an annual Pro-
gramme,8

Every year a General Assembly of the deputies
of the Departments is held in one of the towns
where a Department is established. Every five
years this Assembly meets at Haarlem, the seat
of the Society.

On the second day of the Assembly a general
meeting of the members takes place under the name
of Congress. At this meeting every member has
a vote and the right to take part in the discussions.

The propositions of the Congress to the Society
are discussed on the third day by the deputies of
the Departments, and in this manner several highly
interesting resolutions have been passed, the exe-
cution of which is trusted to the Board of Mana-
gement.

Within the last years the following subjects
have been discussed, which have given rise to
treatises of high importance, published in the Annals
and the Journal of the Society, or which have
called forth numerous petitions to Gouvernment:

Industrial Statistics.

Labour of Children in mills and manufactures.
Agricultural and Professional Instruction.9

Agricultural Instruction in the Dutch Possessions
in India.

Culture of Waste Grounds and Sea Downs.

Culture of the Silk worm.

Improvement of Draining and of the Soil by the
regular Distribution and Evacuation of Water.

Fabrication of Peat.

Culture of Fruit Trees.

Sewage of Towns, with regard to the interests
of Agriculture.

The Food Question of the Working Classes.

Improvement of Workmen's Dwellings.

Cooperative Working Men's Institutions.

Improvement of the Communication of Amsterdam
with the North Sea.

Abolishment of the Patent law and other Duties
on Industry.

Emigration to the Dutch Colonies.

Amelioration of the Horse and Cattle races.

Institution of a governmental Department of
Industry.

Government Subsidies to Railways.

Oyster Culture.

The Laws on Associations and anonymous Com-
panies.IO

The Abuse of Alcoholic Liquors.

Expeditions to the North Pole.

Promotion of the Commercial Relations with the
Dutch South-African Republics.

Improvement of Nautical Instruction.

Public cheap Dining Rooms for the Working
Classes.

Since 1778, when the Society held its first Ge-
neral Assembly, which year is therefore remembered
in the Medal, the Society publishes regularly the
Proceedings of its assemblies, an annual Programme
of the Premiums, numerous highly important Works
on Agriculture and Industry, and a Journal, the
first volume of which appeared in the year 1833,
and which forms at present a collection of 38
volumes.

The Society held numerous national, local and
special Exhibitions; it was charged with the care
of the Netherland Industry at the first International
Exhibitions of London and Paris. Afterwards it
was the first to persuade the Government to take
charge of the cooperation of our Country with the
Universal Exhibitions of Industry and to appoint
a special committee for this purpose.11

Since its foundation the Society always has been
in relation with the Government and frequently
offered its advice in many important questions.

The Colonial Museum, established by the Society
at Haarlem, has been opened in 1871 and contains
very extensive collections of raw and industrial
products of the Dutch Possessions in India and
other Dutch Settlements, systematically arranged
and with regard to their utility. These collections
are brought together chiefly by means of gifts
from the Government, as wel as from different
persons and Societies in the Netherlands and in
India. Plenty of room is allowed to the Society
from Government in the large building near Haar-
lem, which was formerly the residence of King
Louis Napoleon and later of the Princess of Orange,
mother of king William I.

A Short Review of these collections has been
lately published and a complete Descriptive Cata-
logue of the Wood Collections, containing upwards
of 1400 species, appeared in 1872.

The Museum is daily open to the public, and
the visitors may obtain every information about
the exhibited objects.

Many new and rare products of the Indian12

Archipelago are brought to the notice of the public
by their exhibition in the Museum, and their de-
scription in the Journal has already produced some
useful results.

The Society is at present occupied with esta-
blishing a Museum of Industrial Art, to be opened
in 1877, on occasion of its Centenary.

This Museum is destined for collections of repro-
ductions, models, samples, etc., illustrating the
History of Ornament in the Industrial Arts.
A permanent Committee, residing at Haarlem, is
charged with the execution of this project.

The Society is in relation with about 80 Societies
in the Netherlands and Foreign Countries. The
title of Honorary Member is only given to persons
of high merit in Dutch India and Foreign Countries.NETHERLAND SOCIETY
