The system thus introduced qaickly
spread menet the people, an was one
known to the general public,- until the
year 1857, when a Concert was given
by a choir of three thousand children
in the Crystal Palaceom audience of
over thirty thousand persons was
gathered together by the novelty, and
was remarked by the London press at
the time it was left for an almost un+;
known institution to draw a larger
company .of people together than has
ever been attraeted in this country

In 1807 a their of sevefity tonic
sol f& singer e under the conductorship
J Proudman, went to Paris to
take part in a musical cempetition, 111
connection with the International Exe
hibition, and there won a.roost en
thusiestie success. A special laurlai
wreath with a goldinedal, a diploma
and the badge of the orphaouists of
France was bestowed on them by the
Erope.ror. This was a crowning blow
to the opposition of the large majority

TONI° SOL-FA.
•'OUTLINES OP THE STORY OF 3T8 RISE...
In the year 1841 the Tonic Sol'efa
method of teaching vocal mu*sic, now
so widely employed may be considered
to lave had its rise. The Rev. john
Darwin then a young nonconformist
minister paid a ViSit to an infant school
in Norwich where Miss Sarah Glover,
daughter of the Rector of StLaurence,
was teaching the children to sing from
her new Musial notation. But it will

conoectiou with the system .arises in
this wise:I am dile who is deeply inter-
ested in the ed ucation of the yonngt.
About eight years ago "(became anxious
A to teach a number of them under my
0• charge, to sing, chiefly with the desire
• of,inakiug them love theSun day Schobl.
Having no natural advantage of ear
et.
or voiced, sought help.I learned a few
e tunes and with the assistance of a
friend taught them to the children.
We had 200 children for two hours
twice a week, by dint of loud singing
•vre carried the voice of the children
aIong with us and taught them many
tunes. We endeavored most etrenuous.
ly to give them a knowledge of crotch-
ets and quavers, feta and sharps, and
clefs, hoping thereby to give some
permanence to the„ fruits of our labors,
but this was in vaia. In the autumn
of this year (1841) 1 was called to
Attend a convention of ministers and
fininlay sehool teachers, connected
with various denominations. Muth
• was said on the difficulties of securing
good mid beady singing in school and
e.egneeregation. Wonder had been ex.
pressed that an art which in the word
of God is so elearly demanded of all,
should Ise complex and difficult of
attainment. I had replied that I did
tot believe it could he so. That what
God required froze young Melt and
neaidens, old men and thildren, from
the people, from all the people, nom
t simple and easy of attainment.,The
visit to Miss Gluver's school was then
described Which is simply a discarding
of the complicated signs of the staff ro-
tation, and a new notation made up of
the initials of the Italia)) syllebles d,
standing for do, r for re, etc., tinie
being shown by punctuation marks.
The staff notation not being introduce
ed until the pupils have attained a fair
degree of praficieney. Mr. Cum%
