We would suggest to Prof. Carpente,
that'he would confer favor on many o.
his audience, who appreciate good music
if he would not allow children to sing a

Childrens' voices are usually not musical
and when singing with older voices destro,
the harmony and spoil the effect.

curiosity being aroused we awaited deve
opments. Pretty soon there was tuggin
at the line, and the boy that was holdin
the rod proceeded to land his catch. W
