VOCAL TRAINING.
Something About the Teaching Of
Little Children 70 Sing.

SOL-CIAAIS ABDUL. b441 AO1CAALk Vi
Little Children 70 Sing.
SIR MoreH Mackenzie. IN the Contemporary
ReUteC.
Two questions in connection with the
tr aiming of the voice are to be discussed,
viz: When it should be commenced, and
whether it should be interrupted during the
so-called cracking period. With regard to
the first of these questions, | am strongly Of
opinion that training can hardly be begun
too early. OF course, TIE kind and amount
OF practice that are necessary in the adult
would be monstrous IN a young Child, but
there IS no reason WV, even at the age
Of g or Z, the right method Of voice produc-
ton should not be taught.
Singing, like any other art, is chiefly
lear ed By imitation, and 10 seems pity TO
lose the advantage Of those precI, US early
years when that facIlty IS most highly de-
velOped. There is 70 fear of injuring the
larynx or stralning tie voice by elementary
instruction of this kIld. On the contrary,
1T is habitual faulty vocalization which is
pernicious.
The sooner the right way Of using the
voice is taught the more easy will it be to
guard against the contraction of bad habits
which can only be corrected at later period
with infinite trouble
Many of the finest voices have been
trained almost from the cradle. so to speak.
! need only to mention Adelina Patti
Christine Nilsson, Jenny Lind and Nine.
Albani, but there are numbers of other
queens Of song who owe great part Of
their success to the same cause. AS for the
other point, am still an obstinate diss inter
from the "orthodox' teaching of singing
masters on the subject.
have already more than once expressed
my belief that there is no reas IN why train
ing, within certain limits and under strict
supervision by a competent person, should
not be carried on when the voice is in the
transition stage Of lis development from
childhood t. adolescence
The stock argument, invariably ad vance1
to prove the necessity of suspsnding tho
education of the voice till it has passed
through the breaking" period is that, as
The parts are undergoing active changes
they therefore require complete rest. This
would equally apply to the limbs, and, in
some degree, also to the brain. Yet [ am
not aware that it has ever been PROPOSED to
forbid growing lads from exercising their
bodies, even in games involving cOnsiie--
able muscular violence, or to interrupt the
education of the mental powers till the
brain has become fully formed Over
pressure there may be, no doubt, in voice
training as in other kinds of instruction
All voices are not capable of bearing the
same amount of training. Each case must
be dealt with according to what the doctors
call the particular 'indications' that NAV
arise. My thesis holds good only as a rule.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE-MoNIToR
WASHINGTON. Feb. 18Th.

The Speakers eye is as hard to
catch now as a lottery prize. AS the
session nears its final end every avail
able means is taken to secure the
passage of private bills and other
pet measures, to the disregard of
legislation of supreme Importance. 1t
is now certain that no tariff bill will
pass the present congress, and that
President Harrison will have to call
an extra session,o the next congress.
1t is even believed that the deficiency
bill, which contains among other mat
ters an aioht million dollar appropri-
alton for pension deficiencies, will
fail of passage this session. Every
thing would indicate that it would be
to the interest of the republican par
ty to hold an extra session, and most
of its leaders advise it.
The preparations for the Inaugural
ton are stupendous. Along Pennsyl-
vania avenue the sound of hundreds
of hammers are heard, as the man.
moth viewing stands rise in the air.
The pension building is temporarily
surrounded with extensive sheds for
the cooking and other necessary ar
rangements for the inaugural ball.
Everywhere boarding house keepers
and thrifty private families are fever
ishly awaiting a chance to take the
stranger in. Still prices will not be
so high as has been published. Good
accommodations will be available for
from $3.50 to So per day, though of
course no one need to expect a suite
of rooms to himself. In fact if he
gets a cot he should be satisfied.
Food will be very little higher than
usual.
It should not be necessary to in
form sensible people that the hotels
do not follow the example of the
railroads in offering half prices. That
should not be expected. One should
be willing to pay fully at such time.
I did not hear a New York alderman
kick at the Chicago convention when
the hotel clerk charged him sixty
cents an hour for sleeping on bill

went about the state as state super
intendent. The supervisor should be
a man of good common sense, who,
knowing the wants of the school,
will be able to meet them he should
be of good character and exemplary
habits. He must be an honorable
man. The time will soon come when
the book agents will be in the field
again. The scramble, the tricks, the
fraud and the disgHsting scenes
once witnessed in thes 5ions need
not be witnessed and repeated here
again.
We learn that parties are already
at work in their own interests, or In
the interests of others, trying to
pledge support or votes for the office
of supervisor. This is wrong. The
time has not come when the interests
of individuals ought 10 be considered
at all. When the county board is
chosen and is organized as board,
then the merits of applicants and of
men thought fit and worthy ought to
be fairly and fully discussed. The
office has not been created for the
man, as a bottle is not made for the
cork, but the best man should be
found for the office-the most suita-
BILE cork for the bottle.
The appointment of the supervisor
is in the hands of the county board
one man chosen at the coming March
meeting from each town in the county.
1t will be important that the towns
look we'll to the qualifications of this
man. He wants to be as pure as
Caesars wife, and man who will
care more for the general good than
for his own or some other mans pre-
ferment. This board, next year, will
be the book committee, and should be
chosen with regard to that special du-
tv. 1t will not do to make a mistake in
this Office, small as it may seem, for the
failure or success of the new law
hangs almost entirely on the new
board and the supervisors. With
thhse officers what they should be, we
see no reason why there may not be
building up of the standard and
character of our schools. Let the
people take the matter in hand and
do the most possible to for the cause
of education in our beloved Vermont.

The Second Regiment at Mayre's
Heights.
BY G.. w. B.

During the winter of 1923 the
Army of the Potomac lay encamped
along the north bank of the Kappa
hannok. Gen. Hooker had succeeded
to the command after the failure of
Con. burnside in tho first battle of
Fredericksburg and what was called
by the men E'Burnside's mud march,
Gen. Hooker took the army of the
Potomac at it's lowest ebb, as far as
the morale and efficiency of the army
was concerned, but through his
splendid efforts in reorganlzing, in
PRODUCING new corps commanders and
many reforms into all branches of the
service, the army at the opening Of
the spring campaign in 1868 was in
splendid condition, and was able to
deal heavy blows when we'll fought.
Gen. Hooker was a gallant soldier,
who had made a brilliant record on
the Peninsular and all of the cam
paigns that the army of the Potomac
had passed through after the time of
his taking command. History will
record that he was considered at the
time to be the most brilliant of all
the corps commanders, and he held
the full confidence of his command.
The Vermont Brigade proper num-
bered nearly three thousand fighting
men and was at its best. During the
fall of 1862 the 26th New Jersey reg
iment, nine months troops, had been
brigaded with the Vermonters, but
were of different mettle and material.
We were known as the 2nd Brigade,
End Division (Howe's), 9th Corps,
with the immortal Sedgwick as corps
commander.
1t was a beautiful Sabbath day on
the Sd of May, 1868. that Sedgwick' S
Corps was in line of battle in what is
known as the Bowling Green, or old
Richmond stage road. The right of
the line joined Newton's division
which occupied Fredericksburg, with
its left resting on Hazel Run on its
north bank. HoWe's division coming
next in line south of Fredericksburg,
its right flank resting on the south
bank of Hazel Run and connecting
its left flank to Brooks division, which
was extended still further south and
I along what was known as Deep Run.
On Saturday at midnight, after the
disaster to Hooker's right wing at
/ Charlottesville, Sedgwick received
orders from Gen. Hooker to seize
Fredericksburg and the heights be-
yond, destroying any force that
4 blocked his way, thence marching tC
the main army, before daylight, 8
distance of II or l 4 miles. 1t turned
out that the defences in front oi
Fredericksburg were defended by
Gen. Early with at least ten thoqs
and men, with no less than fifty gun;
"a larger force than that which de
feated more than one-half of The
army of the Potomac under Gen
Burnside the fall before, causing /;
slaughter of ten thousand men. Gen
Sedgwick was ordered to carry tht
same position with his corps-a bril-
liant feat of arms, and thing whicl
immortalized Sedgwick and his corps
The assault from Howe division wa
to be made square in front of Mayre'
Heights, the place where a fey
months before Hancock s, French
and Howard's divisions had lost fou
thousand men without even reaching
the first line of works.
1t was nearly noon when the lin
officers of the End Vt. Regt. wer
