general participation. Everybody
ehould have at least a whack at the
:horuses. A capable leader with both
taste and gumption can bring hearty
and genuine melody out of any rural
gathering. Simple methods and a
knowledge of .human nature are all
that are needed. He will first try
out the juniors, and children will
never refuse to sing. Then the girls
will be heard by themselves, followed
by the boys. Now we are getting
along. The next thing we know the
deader has the women carolling along
all by themselves; and then, wonder
of wonders, he calls upon "men only"
to sing, and they get at it like the
good sports that they are, so as to

dies that music is something that is
in the soul of all, and that driving a

Then let us have community sing-
ing, and plenty of it; but let it be
something more than mere sing -song.
Anythingdecent will do to begin with,
and the simpler the better, as 'a sort
of limbering up exercise. But let
something more ambitious be at-
tempted now and then, such as glees,.
anthems, cantatas, or perhaps orator-
ios, with htg soloists from the •cities
as stars, but with all hands drilled
for the choruses. Some time an easy
and clean comic opera might be put
on, but with no intention of crowding
out the more solid music; for it is
well to remember the force andjust-
ness of that very practical observa-
tion of the elder Pliny (lib. iv, cap. xi,
24) , "The lemon, as well as the
sugar,is needed to make the punch."
Community singing should be en-
couraged. It is a social, physical,
mental, and moral tonic: Less public
benefactions have been bonnsed by
the state;—Thos. McGillicuddy, Sta-
tistics and Publication Branch.
