CERAMIC ENGINEERING
PLANNED FOR GA. TECLl

ATLANTA, March 16.-Plans for
the establishment Of a school of cera-
mic engineering at the Georgia
School Of Technology are expected to
be completed at a meeting to be
held at the institution Tuesday
April 3. Efforts are also to be made
to organize the various industries for
The purpose of putting on a well de-
fined program for the development of
Georgia's clay ceramic resources.
Il is believed, leaders in the pro-
iect state, that if the Georgia clays
are to be developed, Georgians must
take the lead. The plan for the es-
Enlistment Of such a school at Tech
has already been approved by the
trustees, it is stated
Georgia has a greater variety of
raw ceramic material than any of the
states which are leading in clay pro-
duction, the leaders contend, and the
establishment of a ceramic school,
by affording opportunities for prac-
tical research, would inevitably slim
ulate manufacturing enterprises US
ing such materials.
In the preliminary organization, al
ready effected, b. Miffin Hood, of
Atlanta, was named chairman, and j.
d. Mccartney, of Savannah, secre-
tary
