To lIe Editor Of the Commercial
l would highly recommend the teaching OF
singing in the public schools. 1t not only
strengthens tue voice and gives knowledge Of
the principles OF sound, (Which in itself lisa ne
cessary portion OF an education but il also has
a humanizing influence on the individual. In
Arcadia, portion of ancient Greece, where sing
ing was cultivated the Inhabitants were noted
for the refinement OF their manners, and peace,
able disposition. There were few personal
quarrels amongst them, the taking Of life by
violence was almost unknown and peace reigned
amongst their cities, whilst neghboring
state, (where vocal music was in dsuse) was
celebrated for the quarTels amongst its
people, the prevalence of murder, and the
frequent wars between the communities
of which it was composed, Even at this day,
when we wish to express happy state, the
term Arcadau is still used Again, would it not
be an agreeable relief to children, thus varying
their studies? What adds more to the pleasures
of home, than the sweet cultivated voices of the
little girls warblng tn songs they have been
taught in the schools2 HARMONY.
