larly impressive was the remarkable exhibits of school 
work in all the arts and crafts, especially pottery. In the

From the Brazilian section ten vases, the work of E. 
Visconti, Rio de Janeiro, were most unique and unex- 
pectedly artistic in design and color. Unfortunately we 
were unable to obtain photographs, but the general effect 
was a reminiscence of the "Art de la Ceramica " illustrations 
in Keramic Studio after the Pan-American.
