CERAMIC COURSE,
ON INCREASE 1
Curriculum Meet De
mands of Growing
Industries of State
(By A. F. Greaves-Walker, Professor
of Ceramic Engineering)
The opening of State College in
September will mark the beginning
of the actual teaching of Ceramic
Engineering in North Carolina. While j
the department of Ceramic Engineer
ing at the local institution was organ
ized last September, and a number of
students were registered, the depart
ment during the past year devoted it
self entirely to developing a curri
culum that would suit the needs of
North Carolina and the South and to
the development of the ceramic re
sources and industries of the State.
The new department begins its
teaching under the most promising
circumstances. To date fifteen stu
dents have applied for admission to
the department or have expressed
their intention of registering in it.
This is a larger number than any of
the ceramic departments in the coun
try registered during the first five
years of their existence. Undoubted
ly there will be an increase in this
number before the freshmen register
on September 11.
Every effort has been made to of
fer a curriculum that will meet the j
demands of the rapidly developing,
ceramic industries of North Carolina j
and the rest of the country. Engi- I
neering subjects and economics have
been particularly stressed in order
that the graduates may be able to
assist in the development of the me
chanical processes involved in the
various branches of the industry, that
are so rapidly replacing hand labor,
and to be prepared to fill executive
positions. The courses in ceramic
will especially stress structural clay
products because it is along this line
that the industry offers the greatest
possibility of development in North
Carolina and the South. Considerable
attention will also be given to Port
land cements, metal enamels, sanitary
wares, glass, bite wares and porce

' lr.lns because the development of
} these branches of the ceramic indus
j try, which do not at present exist in
ihe State, depend entirely upon the
training of men with the necessary
knowledge to promote and take
charge of plants manufacturing these
products.
North Carolina is extremely rich
in undeveloped ceramic resources.
Aside from its sales, which are equal
or superior to any in the entire coun
try, it produces more than fifty per
cent of all the feldspar mined on the
continent and practically all of the
primary kaolin. These latter miner
als form the basis of the tremendous
white ware, sanitary ware, wall tile,
electrical porcelain, and enameled
I iron industries.
Every effort is being made to com
plete the new Ceramic Engineering
laboraties before the fall term opens.
These laboratories will be among the
best equipped in the country and will
contain full-sized equipment. This
will give the student an unusual op
portunity for practical training be
fore going out into the industries.
At the present time there is but
one graduate in Ceramic Engineering
connected with the ceramic industries
in North Carolina and there are less
than fiOO in the United States and
Canada. These few men are distrib
uted throughout industries with a
capital of more than three billion dol
lars and an annual output valued at
almost as much. The demand for
ceramic engineers has never been so
great and it is constantly growing.
In addition to the courses for the
students in residence, the department
is offering courses in Ceramic En
gineering by correspondence carrying
college credit. This is a decided in-
I novation in college extension work.
State College being the first institu
tion in the world to offer th.s branch
of engineering by correspendence.
These courses are especially designed j
*o assist those engaged in the indus- :
try who have not had technical train
ing, and engineering graduates who
wish to take advantage of some of
the opportunities now offered in corn
ntic fields.
.
Dr. George Reed Shelton, who was j
recently appointed assistant proses- j
sor of Ceramic Engineering, will join i
the faculty at the beginning of the
/ill term. He is a specialist in ce
ments and glassware and will br.ng
added strength to State College and
THE ZEBULON RECORD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1925
to the department, and make it pos
.-it)!e for students to acquire a knowl
edge of these subjects which it would
be difficult to equal in any other
ceramic department in the country.

Wilmington led in property loss by
lire with $401,469. The per capita
loss by lire however, was greatest in
Kinston with $13.35.
In Raleigh, during that period there
were 76 fires with a property loss of
$59,720. The total property at risk
was $903,015 covered by $526,200 in
; insurance. The average loss per fire
here was $7lB while in 1923 it was sl,-
882. The per capita loss was $1.42.

INFANCY BUREAU
IN COUNTY
Miss Merriman Will
Have Charge of
The Work
A maternity and infancy bureau
with a special nurse in charge, will
be established as part of the Wake
County Health Department begin
ning September 1, according to Dr.
A. C. Bulla, county health officer, the
object being to reduce the number
of deaths in child birth that are
caused by neglect or ignorance.
Miss Hilda Merriman, Red CrO3S
nurse, who has been devoting her
time to the tubercular cases of the
county, will be in charge of the work.
A car will be furnished her to use
in carrying on her work. Before be
ginning it, she will spend the rest of
the month in acquainting herself with
the special condtiions in Wake coun
ty. Heretofore this work has been
carried on as a part of the health
department work, but with no special
nurse in charge.
Dr. Bulla declared there are entire
ly too many deaths in this county at
child birth. The education of moth
ers and expectant mothers will be the
goal toward which Miss Merriman
will work. Midwives should he elim

NEW ENGINE OF DEATH
For several weeks stories have been
going the rounds of the press con
cerning a new death-dealing agency,
called the “death stroke,” or “canned
lightning.” Extravagant claims are
made for it by its inventor, Dr. Ed
win R. Scott, but much secrecy has
surrounded the methods whereby it is
caused to operate.
Among the astounding performan
ces attributed to the death stroke
are its power to burn holes in 2-inch
steel plates at a distance of a mile;
set fire to dead trees at the same dis
tance and kill animals at two to sev
en miles, besides destroying dummy
airplanes in flight.
The Navy Department is said to be
interested in the experiments, but
little authentic information is avail
able concerning them. Like the much
heralded “death ray” announced by
the Englishman, H. Grindell-Matth
ews, last year, the reports concerning
it are too vague to be accepted as
reliable, yet too persistene to be dis
missed as visionary.
Dr. Scott is an electrician of stand
ing, however, having been for nine
years a student under the late wiz
ard of the General Electric company,
Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, whose feats
in making artificial thunder and light
ning in his laboratory are undispv
ed.
Regardless of the validity of E,
i Scott’s claims there is no doubt th
the near future will witness the d
velopment of engines of destructh
terrible beyond anything heretofo '
employed in warfare. As one inve; !
tor has declared, “in the near futui
machine guns will be seen only in iru
seumfc.”
