MUSIC IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

AS MIGHT have been expected the appointment of
superintendent of vocal music in the public schools
has given rise to wordy war, in which everybody,
whether competent or incompetent to pass judgment
on the subject, has something to say. The object OF
attack is now the text book that has been intro
duCed, and of course, the advocates of every sys-
tenn, except the one adopted, pronounce sentence
against it. We believe that the eXpedency
of having musical instructor who will
thoroughly ground the pupils in the principles
of music is generally admitted, and we have never
heard any doubt expressed to the perfect fitness
Of Mr.. Jean Louis for the position II he is tho
roughly competent, the selection and arrangement
of the text books might with the utmost proprety,
be left to his judgment, unless some very glaTing
defects can be shown to exist Mr. Louis desires to
Introduce new system of musical instruction,
which we believe to be at once simple, easy and
thorough The little textbook introduced by him is
adapted to this SYSTEM and candid examination
OF its merits will certainly convince any dsinterested
person OF its value. The only real objections that
have been urged against it are the triyiality
of some Of the little songs, the rather obscure Eng
lsh Of some of the transations from the German,
and the appearance of advertisements on the cover
These last should be removed to obvate any jealousy
or feeling and it would perhaps be as well for the
superintendent to get some competent person to
reform the few grammatical irregularities that
exist. 1t should be remembered, however, that
these sentences and verses are only intended ex-
eIClSes, hlJnOubu Eh1o IOT byeJ IOOJH lOT
TOOTH" "Sister Come and Sing with Me-" ''Cheer-
fully go, running to and fro," and others OF like
character, are absurd enough when standing
alone, they are infinitely better exercises than the
do, re- mi, ia, SOL" etc. which are so tiresome to
children commencing the study of music Some OF
the little verses selected by Mr.. Louis are very
poor poetry, but we do not judge a
matter OF this kind by standard OF poetcal criti-
csm If they illustrate the exercises that is all that
is required This matter is deserving of candid and
minded criticism and not captous fault finding.
If Mr. Louis is fit for the position Of superintendent
of vocal music, he is entitled to the cordial support
of all who are interested in the matter of introducing
good musical instruction into the public schools; 4;
and If he is not tit for It, he should be removed and
better man put in the position No instructor,
however, succeed if he is constantly nterfered
with, and it is absolutely necessary that he should
be allowed large discretion if any good results
expected from his instructions The system OF Mr..
Louis is we sincerely believe a thoroughly good
one, and it Is at least entitled to fair trial before
it is condemned.
