whenever they can get the excuse. In
fact, they carry their desire for it to
such an extent that it was necessary
to pass a law forbidding the making

In keeping with an appropriation
made by the last legislature the Uni

partment for the study of Ceramics.
This is the art of working clay and
the cientifc, industrial and the ar
tistic sides of this subject will be
thoroughly taught
Uuier the. general guidance of Pro-
lessor Charles w. Rolfe. the work will
be divided into two parts. The physi-
cal side viii include the examination
of the physical properties of the elays
and their treatment The chemical
technical side win have to deal with
the preparation Of the elays for com
mereial use. Which OF the Illinois
elays are the best, and for which pur-
pose are the several clays most suit
able2 What methods are best for the
preparation Of the different clays. and
what progress may still be madeg
These are few of the problems that
the new department will undertake 70
investigate.
Inc object OF this movement Is prt-
marily TO provide for the youth of the
state who desire an opportunity to ac-
quire proficiency in this branch Of
technical work. Another point to be
gained is the better understanding of
the clays whose commercial value
forms such appointment feature in the
