Mr.. Enron In your last gave an ex.
troct from, Mad. de S,ael's Germany, OK
hibitng the national fondncss for music
and their skill in it. II will naturally be
inquired what this love of music and uni
versal cultivation OF it., does for Germany
whether 1t improves national character and
adds to The sum Of individual and social
happiness, Instead Of attempting to answer
this question: shall present some facts
and suggestions to your readers. In look
ing over the report on Public Instruction
in Prussia by M. Victor Cousin, the schol'
ar. the philosopher, and the legislator, to
Count de Mon,alivet minister Of public in
'struc,ion in France, find singing cassed
with reading, as a branch ofnstruction in
all schools. The reasons Of it may be
found in the following extracts from the
above named work, Singing is introduced
to improve The voices Of the children, and
to elevate their hearts and minds, to per
feet and ennoble the popular songs and
church music or psalmody." 1.-THE singing
lessons shall be attended by all the pupils
not only with view to form them to that
art, but to qualify them to assist in the ser.
vices oftbe church with proprely and sol
emniiy, by singing the psalms or choral
music with correctness and Judgment
.The discipline of the schools is very Sc.
we're. Thus music, so natural and so dear
TO the Germans, is cultivated with great
assidu ity; but the government does no,
suffer the students to regard this require
'ment as source of mere amusement, nor
allow them to display it in public concerts,
which though innocent. are of a light char.
'acter. 1t permits them to join publicly in
church music alone. find this restriction
in a ministerial circular of the 9Th of June
1914. emusic ought not to be cul,va'e ed as
mere qualification Of a sense; it ought to
help to ennoble and refine the heart, aud to
form the ,nnral taste" "In primary nor
nal schools, music ought not, any more
than reading, TO be the prlnclpal OBJECT II
must be regarded and treated os a means
towards a higher end which is, education
and moral culture" "Thc mos, immediate
and the most important atm Of all instruc.
ton, is to train up and complete the man;
to ennoblc his heart and character, to ava
ken the energies Of his soul, and to render
him not only disposed. but able, to fulfil his
duties. In this view alone can knowledge
and talents profit a man; otherwise, in
e.ruc.ion, working upon sterile memory and
talents purely mechanical. can be of no
high utility" Whatever Is believed to con.
tribute to this perfcc'Idn Of character, the
Germuns have introduced n,o th' ir nation
al system Of instruction, one distinct and
prominent branch Of which we have seen
TO be vocal and instrumental music. G.
