SOLUTIONS OF FAN PROBLEMS BY MRS. JOHN MAHOOD 
THE CLASS ROOM 
All .subi^crihers wishins!; to follow the course of lessons on design by Mr. 
Froehlich, may submit tlicir best three sohitions of each problem to this de- 
partment for criticism. We can not return work sent for criticism. 
.\fter working out solutions aiid marking them from 1 to 6 in order of 
merit not of making, select tlie best three of each problem and make copies, 
using brush and India Ink, studying to make a good firm line — also draw in 
India ink all other parts of the les.son to be submitted to Keeamic Studio 
for criticism. 
The Class Room criticisms will be made by the Editor on lines laid down 
by Mr. Froehlich. 
THE work in this department lias grown to such an extent 
that it will be impossible to criticise designs further in 
the magazine, but criticisms will be sent direct to the students. 
A few of the best solutions of problems will be given to show 
the progress of the design class. ' 
The solutions of fan problems by Mrs. John Mahood of 
Lynchburg, Va., are unusualh' good. The drawing is full of 
feeling, the spacing good, and the coloring harmonious and 
w^ell balanced. The only criticism is that the upper space is 
touched almost in a straight line by tlie tips of leaves and petals 
entirely across fan, this line should be broken.

BOWL— MARIE CRILLEY 
Use the design in gold and outline in black leaving the white china as a backgromid. Some might prefer to use yellow brown 
lustre for the lower portion and dot the white spaces of design with gold. A pleasing color scheme for this bowl would be of 
green and blue flat enamels with dotted gold or plain white background, and gold bands. Solid tint on bottom of bowl.
