CHOOLS AND
INSTITUTIONS.
THE ALFRED SUM-
MER SCHOOL OF
POTTERY is making ready
for special efforts through
the coming season in its
well known work of reclaim-
ing for clay working its
proper place among the
crafts. Owing to the fact
that Mr. Marshal Fry is un-
able lo be present, instruc-
tion in over-glaze decora-
tion will be omitted for the
time being. The study in
the composition of body and
glaze, however, will be given
even more attention than usual. In equipment
the school combines the resources of a manufac-
tory with the spirit of the laboratory various
clays and glazes being available, mills and ap-
pliances for the preparation of mixtures, a mould-
ing department and modelling room with vertical
and horizontal lathes and potters wheel, jiggers

furnaces for experimental work.

success and mutual advantage. Several prominent
landscape painters have established their summer
studios there. The scenery at the mouth of the
Mystic River, with its combination of rocks, oaks
and moors, suggests the Fontainebleau country,
which inspired the movement of 1830.
