The New Jersey traveling libraries system is similar to those in operation in New York, Wisconsin and Michigan, the plan and blank forms having been adapted from copies of those in use in the States named. The main features of the system may be learned from the appended Circular of Information, a copy of which was sent to all who applied for the blank forms. Respectfully submitted, Circular of Information. HENRY C. BUCHANAN, State Libtart'an. Trenton, N. J., February 6th, 1900. By authority of the act of April 2oth, 1898, the Commissioners of the New Jersey State Library have provided a number of small 1 traveling libraries, each containing fifty volumes. These libraries are to be operated from the State Library, and will be loaned to municipalities that are too small to maintain a public library. Pref­ erence will be given to those which first make application and comply with the requirements. Blank applications will be furnished on request. Printed catalogues, rules governing the operation of the traveling library system, a charging tray, cards, and instructions to the Trustee and Librarian, will be furnished without cost to those using the libraries. A fee of five dollars per year must be paid, in advance, to the State Librarian, to cover the cost of transportation and all other charges. The charges for conveying the libraries to the express office or rail­ road station nearest their destination will be paid at the State Library ; also the return charges. The cost for local cartage must be borne by those to whom the libraries are sent. Traveling libraries will be loaned upon the application of twenty resident taxpayers, who must select a Trustee and a Librarian, who will become responsible for the proper usage and safe return of the cases and the books. The library shall be kept in a place convenient for the residents of the community, and shall be kept open not less than one hour on each of two days in each week. A library may be kept in one local­ I ity not more than six months, when it shall be returned to the State Library, and another will be sent to replace it. The expense for rent (if any), light and fuel for the room in which a traveling library is located, must be borne by the residents. In other States where the traveling libraries are in operation, it has been .. found that there are always dealers who are glad to have the libraries ' stationed in their stores or shops, and in many cases they are kept in private residences.

  • Textile Printing
    TECHNICAL BULLETIN 6399 Weston Parkway, Cary, North Carolina, 27513 • Telephone (919) 678-2220 ISP 1004 TEXTILE PRINTING This report is sponsored by the Importer Support Program and written to address the technical needs of product sourcers. © 2003 Cotton Incorporated. All rights reserved; America’s Cotton Producers and Importers. INTRODUCTION The desire of adding color and design to textile materials is almost as old as mankind. Early civilizations used color and design to distinguish themselves and to set themselves apart from others. Textile printing is the most important and versatile of the techniques used to add design, color, and specialty to textile fabrics. It can be thought of as the coloring technique that combines art, engineering, and dyeing technology to produce textile product images that had previously only existed in the imagination of the textile designer. Textile printing can realistically be considered localized dyeing. In ancient times, man sought these designs and images mainly for clothing or apparel, but in today’s marketplace, textile printing is important for upholstery, domestics (sheets, towels, draperies), floor coverings, and numerous other uses. The exact origin of textile printing is difficult to determine. However, a number of early civilizations developed various techniques for imparting color and design to textile garments. Batik is a modern art form for developing unique dyed patterns on textile fabrics very similar to textile printing. Batik is characterized by unique patterns and color combinations as well as the appearance of fracture lines due to the cracking of the wax during the dyeing process. Batik is derived from the Japanese term, “Ambatik,” which means “dabbing,” “writing,” or “drawing.” In Egypt, records from 23-79 AD describe a hot wax technique similar to batik.

The art tradition is however preponderant in a few Yoruba towns to the extent that the names of these towns are traditionally inseparable with the Adire art tradition. With Western education, introduction of foreign religions, influence from other cultures, technique and technology, there is a shift in the producers of Adire, the training pattern, and even an evolution in the production centre. While Western education resulted in a shift from the hitherto traditional Copyright© IAARR 2013: www.afrrevjo.net 350 Indexed African Journals Online: www.ajol.info Vol. 7 (2) Serial No. 29, April, 2013 Pp.350-370 apprenticeship method to the study of the art in schools, unemployment gave birth to the introduction of training drives by government and non governmental parastatals. This study, a field research, is an appraisal of the factors that contributed to the vibrancy of the traditionally renowned centres, and how the newly evolved centres have in contemporary times contributed to the sustainability of the Adire art tradition.
