Many valuable suggestions were thrown out,
which were discussed at some length, and the
views of all obtained. Professor Mason was in
troduced by Mr. Wilson, and made q few re-
marks, which were listened TO with profound
attention. He stated that he had been to most
of the schools, aud was well pleased with their
work. They are far in advance Of those in
Baltimore If our best schools could be taken
as a pattern or standard, and tho rest brought
up to their degree ofperfection, the music would
be excellent.
The regular teachers of the schools should
be we'll educated in music and be obliged TO
receive u certificate of efficiency in that branch
of education before being allowed to teach
| They should be required to give lesson daily.
By all means there should be cooperation of
teachers. There are three things to be consid-
ered-instruction, example, and practice. The
scholars should practice singing in more than
one key The regular teacher should be in
attendance during the lessons Of the special
| teacher. The children should in no case sing,
| speak, or whistle while going through exer-
cises. The lower grade schools should practice
regularly twice daily, ten minutes at time
| and the higher schools fifteen minutes por day
| The system should be uniform in all the grades
| He did not approve of singing songs outside oil
| the regular course. The work had better be
laid out. outside singing is waste of time
