.1. MUSIC IN THE HOME
The desire to have music taeght in
public and high achools in Ontario is
evidently growing, as music is now'on

debate recently on the relative merits
of mak and oratory, and after hear-
ing arguments , advanced by debaters
on both sides 'we scame aflay. more
strongly-conv.inced than- ever -that -both
subjects should be given greater
peominence in Canadian schools:
The following essay on Music in the
Home, is worthy of careful perusal
and serious consideration by all par-
ents, teachers. and school authorities:
• It has been said that in no country
on. earth, not excepting music -loving
Germany, are there found 'ao many
prince and organs in homes as in this
country. All agree that this is as it
should be. Music is invaluable as a
means of recreation. Amusements in
the home Should have these character-
istics—they should unite the family;
deepen childrens love of home and
guard them against -temptation. -T
accomplish the first object we need
recreations in which parents and chil-
dren can join; is there anything more
genial and heart warming than to
hear the whole family joiningin a
hymn or song? We read a great deal
to -day about making farm homes
more attractive. Why should not the
farmer's household be as ;cheerful, as
full of pleasure, as that of the town
or city man? 'Music affords effective
means of -doing this. .0zie of the
greatest attractiens' for old • and
young people when visiting in cities
it the music that may be heard there.
No family cen really afford to" 'do
Without some kind of music. It is a
luxury and akeeonomy. Of course,
we all know music can influence to
evil as 'weltas to good, and that in
some of the lowest music halls of the
pity skilled musicians may be found.

can think of no power better calcu-
