LIBRARY OF UNIV ERS AL KNOWLEDGE.
Volume two of this very excellent,
and from an economical point of view,
extraordinary work, was issued Octo Der
25th. Its 1916 neatly printed and we'll
bound pages contain wealth ofknowl-
edge, covered by the alphabet between
the words Arunde and Biron, such as,
it is safe to say, was never before
procurable for the trifling sum of so
cents! The 20 vols. complete, contain
ing over 10000 distinct articles, and
nearly as many more incidentally
mentioned subjects, with complete
index, are sufficient of themselves to
afford liberal education to any one of
limited resources. AS matter of course,
they are finding their way into the
hands of hundreds of thousands of
those whose love of knowledge has
exceeded their power to buy it at the
great prices charged for Cyclopedias
heretofore published in this country,
none Of which equal this in the amount
of matter given. Volume three Was
ready early in November, and the re-
manning volumes appear about two
each month hcre litter. The publishers
will send specimen volume, which
may be returned if not wanted, to any
part of the United States, for the price,

Correspondence.
VOCAL MUSIC IN OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

While we are continually introduce
ing Improvements In methods ami
means of doing business, why not in
troduce an improvement into the
school?
In many towns, singing is taught
from the lowest department of the
primary school through the high
school. 1t is made part Of the daily
exercises, and all are expected to sing.
What is the result 1t is simply this !;
Those scholars who have q musical tai
lent given them by nature have an
opportunity OF improving It without
extra expense, and, in this way, many
who could not afford private instruc-
ton get a good musical education.
As for those who have mo ear for
music they might learn to sing Just
as child who is not naturally q
mathematician may, by constant drill
ing, learn something of arithmetic.
Then we neei singers in cur churches.
How are our choirs aided now? The
bass and tenor parts, especially, are
taken not by the youngmen who have
been educated in our Village school,
but by those who have come from
towns where singing is better taught
than in onrs.
If all the scholars henceforth were
to sing in the schools, music would
enter more into our social entertain.
ments, and displace some of those
games that are now used for the lack
of something better.
Then the influence of nusic is good.
A simple, lively song, heartily sung at
the close of school is likely to shed a
softening influence over the whole
school and, if boys and girls sing at
their work, there is not much dan.
ger that their thoughts will go astray.
Some one has said, "Give me the man
who sings at his work, he will do more
in the same time, he will dc it better
he will persevere longer"
But how shall this singing in the
schools be brought about? Let it be
begun in the primary school, and car
ried as high as possible. Let either
the teacher of each school instruct her
scholars, or else have a special teacher
for singing to give one or two lessons
every week to each school. And let
the tea cher include the reading of music
as we'll as mere word singing.
Charts have been prepared with ex-
ercises suitable for all grades. With
this assistance, we might have singing
in our schools at a comparatively
slight expense. Q.

New WORDS While many words
once in common use are now nearly
obsolete, few persons are aware how
large number of new words are con-
stantly coming into our language.
The Supplement of the new edition of
Webster Unabridged Dictionary, re.
Gently issued, contains among other
attractive features, an addition of over
4600 New Words and Meanings, and
yet it is but few years since general
revision was made and great care taken
. insert all the words then properly
Belonging to the English Language.
Where these words come from and
what they are, is a surprise to persons
who have not examined them. That
they have not been hastily complied
is evidenced by the accuracy of and
careful study given to their etymology
and definitions. See advertisement.

to the extent OF three or four inches,
