We, your committee, cannot refrain
from expressing the delight with which
we Witnessed the singing of the pupils in
some of the departments. 1t seems, aye
1t is an Agreeable recreation to pupils, when
wearied by the monotonous hum drum OF
study and recitation, to join in singing
their appropriate and cheerful school songs
which nt the same time impart much use
ful instruction, animate their spirits, cult
vate their voices and chasten their thoughts
and feelings. Few adults can behold The
bright and happy faces OF childhood with
voices laised III songs OF delight and hearts
iull OF praise, and not wish to be child
again, to i've over IN mere elevated sphere
aud TO greater usefulness the days OF long
gone years. The Influence of music is al
ways refining and its influence on the
moral feelings Is highly salutary; this has
too long been tHbwn and Pracficed 70 need
