a story of Palissy, the French potter. He made up his mind to discover a pure white glaze for china. He was poor man, and had but little education; but for twenty years he worked at his task, trying hundreds of experiments and failing in all. His wife and neighbors called him a lunatic, for he ruined himself by his effort. But in the end he succeeded, and became a famous man. He had the will, and he found the way.
