Evelyn Beachy, Chicago, were re-elected. Mrs. Beachy,

MINUTEvS. 
The convention of The National League of Mineral 
Painters, was held May tenth and eleventh in The Art In- 
stitute, Chicago. Ten clubs were represented. The yearly 
reports of officers, delegates, chairman of committees and 
proxies, were listened to with interest. Greater activity 
has been shown in the study course than previously. The 
Treasurer's books show a balance of $383.61. 
Mrs. Cross, chairman of exhibitions, reported space 
secured in the Fine Arts Hall at Portland, Oregon. As this 
is the first time in the history of ceramics that a club has 
been assigned space in which to exhibit with Fine Arts we 
feel that much has been accomplished. 
From the twenty-one nominations for Advisory Board 
members', the following were elected : Mrs. William Smith, 
Newark, N. J.; Mrs. Owens, Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. Culp, San 
Francisco, Cal.; Mrs. A. A. Robineau, Syracuse, N. Y. ; 
Miss Cowen, Pittsburg, Pa., and Marshal Fry, New York. 
Miss Mary Chase Perry was re-elected Chairman of 
Education. A unanimous vote of thanks was given the editor 
and publishers of the Keramic Studio for the space so gener- 
ously given in that magazine to the League.

EXHIBITION NOTE 
THE Chicago Ceramic Art Association have just closed 
their annual exhibition at the Art Institute, Chicago. 
The exhibit of The National League of Mineral Painters 
was held at the same time, making one of the best exhibits 
of ceramic art that has been shown in Chicago. The 
exhibit though small, was choice. 
Among some of the best things shown, was the flat 
enamel work of Mrs. A. A. Frazee. Mr. Campana's work 
showed the master hand of an artist. Mrs. Evelyn Beachy 
showed three good pieces in under glaze effect. Mrs. M. J. 
Coulter was very well represented by her usual good work 
on over glaze. Also some charming effects in hand built 
pottery. 
The Club has adopted the National League study 
course, and the pottery would do credit to much older 
workers. The Club is expecting to exhibit again this fall 
with The Arts and Crafts Society, at the Art Institute. 
The Club will have its annual outing about the middle of 
June, at Terracotta, where the beautiful Teco pottery is 
made. Mr. Ckitcs, the originator and owner][of same, is a 
member of the "C. C. A. A."
