KERAMIC STUDIO 
TEAGUE There was an all-day session of the 
NOTES Advisor y Board, September 15th, at Mrs. 
Leonard's studio, 28 East 23d street. With 
assistance of the Council, the Board undertook to crystal- 
lize plans for proper transportation, installation and care of 
the League's exhibit for Paris Exposition. As evidence of 
League's intentions, and for the final closing of its contract 
for space, the contracts of members wishing to exhibit should 
be made out and returned to the United States Commission 
as soon as possible. Of this all clubs have been notified. 
The Catalogue committee are ready for the addresses and 
lists of exhibitors. A late revision of the catalogue will be 
made, in order to admit of changes in lists. 
While there was a little confusion in returning the china 
from Chicago, owing to the sending of a part of the exhibi- 
tion to Omaha, the executive is fully determined that the 
same mistake shall not occur again, and so far as the Board 
and Council are able, the whole business of transportation 
will be regulated on such rigidly drawn lines that mistakes will 
be impossible. 
The selection of work will be made in November and 
December, to suit the convenience of both judges and exhibi- 
tors. The shipment will be early in January. 
The invitation extended by the chairman of the Art 
Committee of the Local Board of the Biennial Conference G. 
F. W. C, to the League, to exhibit at the Conference to be 
held in Milwaukee, June, 1900, will receive careful considera- 
tion. The advice of the Council will be heard, and decision 
made, so as to not further hamper the movements of the Art 
Committee. 
Schedule for the circular letters to be written and re- 
ceived in September : 
New York receives letter from Boston. 
Detroit receives letter from Wisconsin. 
Bridgeport writes to Denver. 
Brooklyn writes to San Francisco. 
Wisconsin writes to Detroit. 
Providence writes to Indianapolis. 
Columbus writes to Washington. 
Indianapolis receives letter from Providence. 
Chicago writes to Duquesne. 
Denver receives letter from Bridgeport. 
Boston writes to New York. 
San Francisco receives letter from Brooklyn. 
Washington receives letter from Columbus. 
The entire success of this circular letter scheme lies with 
the different clubs. By promptly carrying out the schedule, a 
perfect system of monthly correspondence is carried on 
between the clubs. The first omission will break the chain 
and demoralize the whole system. 
The committee to decide upon the pieces to be taken to 
the Paris Exposition of [900 for the National League exhibit 
from the East has been formed ; also that of the middle 
West. The whole committee will be formed from non- 
members of the League, and the names submitted to the 
Commissioners for approval. To form the entire committee 
so that no travelling expenses shall be connected with this 
work, will require the co-operation of the Council. 
When the competitive designs for government service are 
chosen, the Keramic Studio will publish cuts of the original. 
On request of any Council member, the Corresponding 
Secretary of the League will furnish information of measures 
adopted in Advisory Board meeting of September 15th. 
The Corresponding Secretaries of Roll of Clubs will 
please note the name of the newly enrolled club and change 
same to read, "Ceramic Club of Washington." 
Members taking the League course of study are requested 
to submit designs made from the subjects for the month, to 
the President or Vice-President. The best of these will be 
selected and published monthly in the KERAMIC STUDIO, 
thus giving members the opportunity to become known to 
the public at large. We hope also by this means to demon- 
strate the usefulness of our course of study and the advan- 
tages of belonging to the League. It is hoped that there will 
be a general and cordial response to this invitation. 
CLUB 
The Providence Club will hold its first 
lvrgwc meeting the latter part of September, at which 
time the results of the summer work will be 
shown, the club members having agreed to work upon certain 
lines during the vacation, giving the opportunity for discus- 
sions and criticisms at their reunion. They look forward with 
eagerness to the winter's work and expect to derive help from 
the criticisms. This is a small but very active club and was 
organized by Marie Le Prince two years ago. 
The New York Society of Keramic Arts held its first 
meeting of the season at the Waldorf-Astoria, September nth. 
Plans for the fall exhibition were discussed, also the details of 
the League exhibition in Paris. 
The Detroit Club holds its meetings in the evening, thus 
saving valuable daylight, and combining with their business 
meeting a social element which seems to give satisfaction to 
the members. 
The Ceramic Club of Washington held its first meeting 
September 5th. The meeting was large and enthusiastic, the 
principal matter of business being the decision to join the 
National League of Mineral Painters. This club holds two 
meetings each month, one for business, and the other entirely 
social. At the business meetings, after the routine of club 
business, there is a paper read, or a talk, upon some subject 
relative to keramic art. The social meetings are planned by 
a committee of two, who undertake the entertainment of the
