Pottery and Clay Working.
The following announcement by Dean
Babcock of the college Of mining en-
cheering shows the many ways in
which the university is not only train
ing the young people of the state, but
is very materially aiding in the de-
velopment of its resources:
Your attention is called to the fact
that department Of pottery and clay
working has been established under the
school Of mines, and that at the be-
ginning of this school year three new
courses will be offered in the practical
work connected with the clay indus
tries.
Special attention will be given to
the subject of pottery. In this course
the student will be taught the science
and art Of pottery making in its vari-
Gus phases, such as molding, casting,
throwing and turning, burning, glaz-
ing, etc.
The department has been fortunate
in securing for this work Miss Mar
garet Cable, for some time instructor
in pottery at the Handicraft Guild of
Minneapolis, and recognized for her
ability as a practical worker and in
structor in the art of pottery.
THE courses in this subject are both
cultural and technical and are intend
ed for young women as we'll as young
men. They will not only furnish a
very fascinating line Of work for both
men and women, but they will also
furnish another means Of proving, in
a practical way, the value of the high
grade clays of the state and provide
instruction to the young people relative
to the possibilitiessof their commercial
utilization.
These courses are elective to all in
the college Of arts, teachers college
and the college of mining engineering,
and full semester credit is given them.
The courses may be taken for one or
both semesters, but should be begun in
the fall. Those wishing to elect pot
terry or clay working can consult with
Miss Cable or Professor Babcock at the
time of registration. Further informa-
ton, IL desired, may be secured by
