BRICKS. [_Page 50._
1. Bricks are made of clay. The clay is very damp and heavy when it is
dug out of the ground.
2. It is put into moulds to make bricks, and slowly baked in a kiln.
Then the bricks are dry and not so heavy as the clay was. They are
porous.
3. Most bricks are of oblong shape. This is the shape used for building
houses, schools, walls. Sometimes they are made into very pretty shapes,
are glazed and used for floors and other things.
