CERAMICS AT CHAUTAUQUA 
Mrs. L. Vance Phillips 
THE Ceramic department of Arts and Crafts school at Chau- 
tauqua Institution is here represented by the work of a 
few of its students and of the instructors. 
The art department for some years has been under the 
direction of Henry Turner Bailey, editor of School Art Maga- 
zine. Mr. Bailey's exceptional training in the fine arts has 
given a high view point and a keen edge to his outlook. He has 
directed the decorative and practical arts with skill and with 
enthusiasm of a most infectious character. Mr. Bailey gives 
each morning to all the art teachers and students a talk on some

phase of art. He sets forth some definite principle, and with 
lantern slides gives the world's richest and most complete ex- 
amples. He proves the same truth to hold in literature, and 
ends with its application to life, and all done in so bright and 
attractive a vein that both teachers and students hasten to 
their various classes with fresh inspiration and a new zeal. 
Ceramics have received generous encouragement and these 
studios have always been among the most important in the art 
colony. 
Mrs. Vance Phillips for many years has been in charge of 
the ceramic department, herself a teacher, and bringing from 
New York new ideas, has continually increased the variety in 
style and design by inviting teachers of note or of special skill 
to join her. 
Mrs. Ray E. Motz of Pittsburg has for three years been a 
most satisfactory instructor. Her skill and originality in de- 
sign, combined with her rapid and almost perfect execution, has
