U. S. CLAY PRODUCTS.
Record Breaking Output for 1910 Has
Been Reported

The products of the clay-working in
dustries in the United States-brick, tile,
pottery, etc.-reached in 1910 the largest
value ever attained, the total being $780,
1884, compared with $l66,32l ,2l3 in
1909. These figures are presented by
Jefferson Middleton, of the United States
Geological Survey, in an advance chapter
from Mineral Resources" for 1910
CLAY Working Industries"
In the brick and tile industry building
brick Of all kinds except fancy or orna-
mental declined in value, wltch drain
tile, sewer pipe, architectural terra Gotta,
ireproofng, stove lining, and fire brick
showed gains. In the pottery industry.
every item increased in 1910 except
stoneware and yellow and Rockingham
ware, which showed a loss of about
100000.
The imports Il pottery increased but
little and the proportion of domestic
production to consumption, II per cent,
was the highest ever recorded. Some
idea of the growth of the pottery in
dustry may be 81 tanned from the fact
that as late as 1875 the domestic pro.
duction was but Is per cent. of the con.
sumption. The exports of high-grada
domestic pottery in 1910 showed small
increase, but the value of exports of all
clay products increased over 81 per cent.
The increase in the price of common
brick was one of the most noteworthy
features of the industry in 1910, the
most marked example OF this being in
Illinois, where the price advanced from
1920 per thousand in 1909 to 1852 IN
1910. The decrease of 570,353,000 in the
common brick produced, however. caused
a loss in value in this class alone of
S2,03I ,564. Every state and territory,
except Alaska and Hawaii, is producer
of burned clay.
The following are the ten states with
highest recorded production for 1910;

MAGAZINE REVIEW
Our American Boy.

In the January issue of Suburban Life
Magazine, Margaret Woodward discusses
"Why the American Boy Is Problem.
This is subject that is occupying the
minds of many parents. Describing the
modern American boy, the author says:
"We have hosts of clean, manly, whole
some, lovable, American boys, who are
an honor to the homes and communities
which have reared them. 1t has oe-
Cured to me, however, that for several
generations we have been developing a
type of boy which does not do us
credit as a nation. The American boy
abroad has a standing reputation for two
distinct traits of character: lndepen-
dence and impertinence. His very pres
enee is synonym for aggressiveness
and insolence. lie is disrespeetful to his
elders, totally lacking in reverence, and
bound to have his own way by deceit
fulness and lying, if he cannot gain it
by fair means. This type OF boy IS
omnipresent. Strange to say, he appears
in the largest numbers, not from the
poorer or foreign classes, but from our
middle class families. Every publie
school teacher will coToborate TINS
statement"

Thousands of Mediocre Musicians and
Very Few Jobs.

In the January Woman's Home Com
panion there are some interesting hgures
showing the immense number OF young
people who are encouraged to study
music with view to becoming perform
ers. There are n surprisingly small num-
Der of places which these people can
fill with financial profit to themselves.
Following is an extract from the Com
panion:
an the city Of Berlin alone there are
twenty-five thousand non-German stu
dents, mostly Americans and principally
girls. 1t is estimated that each stu
dent spends an average of one thousand
dollars a year for living and tuition.
ain New York there are sixteen con
servatories of music; in Chicago, eight
1t is estimated that in the former city
there are more than ten thousand stu
dents enrolled in the Conservatives and
with teachers of recognized standing.
"At the public hearings of applicants
for roles during the season at the Net
ropolitan opera house in New York, not
less than thirty young women are given
hearings each week The ma jority of
these girls have spent small fortunes on
European study; and they are absolute
" untitled for operate work.
"And this, remember. is after they
have spent money lavishly with this big
teacher or that, always with faith in
the ultimate fabulous success of a grand
opera career, a faith that is fostered by
the teachers who reap the benefits.
"There are other sides to the story
the girl who borrows money for her mu-
sic lessons. the girl who is supported
by an ambitious patroness. the girl
whose education is purchased by pitrful
self-denial on the part of her family, all
these are familiar types in musical cen
tiers of Europe and America. It is high
time that the true condition of affairs
and the chances of success or failure be
looked squarely in the face, both by the
girl with a voice and by those VINO share

The rapid growth of the clay-work
ing industries during the last 10 years
forms an interesting study. The total
value of these products increased FROM
Sll02ll, 5S7 in 1901 to Sl70ll5.974 in
1910, gain of "a per cent. Fire brick
attained its maximum value in 1910,
with SSH .474 nearly doubling that OF
1901. Drain tile showed steady gain
throughout the 10 years and in 1910
reached value OF Sl0,3S9 s22. Arehi
tectural terra Gotta and fireprooffng I'M
derwent but few depreciations in value
during the period. and both reached their
maximum in 1910, s6,976,77l and S5,ll0.-
597, respectively. Pottery also Ieached
it's maximum value. S33, TS4, 67S ~ that
year The highest value of common
brick was reached in 1905, the figure for
1910 55,2l9.55ll being within 10 per
cent. OF the maximum. Nitritied paving
brick showed an almost steady gain, its
maximum value, SSl,269,5s6, being
reached in 1909, the value for 1910,
ST ,004 .66G, being a slight decrease
Front brick doubled its value from 1901
to 1909, but the 1910 figures, SS,59o,057,
showed decline. Enamel brick also de-
creased in value in 1910, at $685., 225,
after more than doubling its value from
1901 to 1909 Sewer pipe reached its
maximum value in 1907. though the
value of the 1910 production, 81 ASSOC,
shows but small decrease. Tile, other
than drain, after considerable variation,
showed large gain in 1909 at $5,2ol,-
963. and small decrease in 1910 to S.
240.644.
