The singing connected with the recent cx-
ercises of the graduating class in the high
school showed the good results of teaching
music in our schools. After listening to the
grand chorus "The Swallows" or the Duet
by Mendelssohn, so admirably performed by
Miss Allen and Miss Folsom, no one could
doubt.that the experiment of teaching music
in our schools had proved a success. We
hope it may be made permanent branch Of
study in both our grammar and high school.

show that it should be on Winthrop St., which

to resort to another democratic city govern

him on the spot. 1t was root hog and die ex-
