MUSIC AND ART
At HarwoOd Seminary.

(
cal, in that 1t should deal with fun
damental laws and principles; but
the aesthetic must not be neglected !;
! the accomplishments are as neces-
sary in education as the flowers and
sweet voiced birds about our homes.
When the entire time is spent On
these the pupil is apt tc be light,
superficial when entirely neglected
there is a tendency to heaviness.
Music and Art are to a character
what architecture is to a building.
Since tae foundation of the Semi
nary more interest has been taken
in music and among those who nave
taken regular there are quite a
number who play with skill. Inter-
rupted work has retarded many.
Music like all other studies requires
long continued practice and study.
One can't become proficient in a
year or two. A girl with talent
should begin the study of music at
eight or nine and be kept at it
through her entire course. When
this is done we may look for good
musicians. The Seminary has ar
ranged most thorough course. Be-
ginning with Emery's Foundation
Studies, the child is advanced
through tie three books of Duver>
noy, two of Czerney, one OF Cramer
and the Studies of Bash. These
with any number of selections from
the best modern composers will in
dictate the character Of the musical
course.
Mrs. J. S. Stewart, Jr., will be
director of this department, assisted
by Miss Maggie Hair and Miss
Gussie Groves, The lessons are
given during school hours and prac-
tice periods are arranged for those
that wish them. The rates of tut
ton are 800, 400, or 500 dollars a
month, according to advancement.
If you are going to give your daugh-
ter a musical education send her to
the Seminary where she can get the
best. Money is worse than wasted
that is spent for poor teaching,
There should be thirty or forty music
pupils next term.
Art has never been cultivated to
any extent in Marietta. There is
scarcely girl that can paint any~
thing. The Seminary desires to de-
velop this first art and to this end
has secured the services of Miss
Maggie Hair, who will fit up an art
room, open at all hours, and will
give hour lessons at the following
rates; Charcoal and pastel $500 A.;
Watercolors, $500; Oil, $500, per
month. These rates are certainly
in the reach of all and it is hoped
that large number OF girls will en-
ter this department. Quite a num-
Der have already spoken for places.
MIR. B. r. Legg offers a fine gold
medal for the best original study
from still lie.
Miss Hair has arranged the fol.
lowing three years course in Draw.

Gil, Crayon, Charcoal and India Ink,

1t would be a good idea to let a
pulpit take the first course and then
if she shows any special fondness OF
talent for art she can continue. The
arrangement is stressing this depart
ment, being satisfied as to It's great
Importance. It's SO important in
its bearing upon the aesthetic cul.
ture in the appreciation and pro.
duction of beauty in form and color
it is SO useful, physically in the
