A recent issue of q newspaper out
in Manongahela City announced
that Elder j. NJ. Springer, of Belle
Vernon, would preach the following
Sunday at Duquesne, marry a couple
at Fayette City on Monday, and
conduct a funeral at Belle Vernon
on Wednesday. Mr.. Springer is a
preacher, instice of the peace and
an undertaken, and being furni-
ture dealer as well, can also assist
at births by furnishing cradles to
order. He does not complain of a
lack of work, even in these hard
times.
An attempt is to be made at the
next session of the legislature to
make teaching of music by sight
reading compulsory in all common
schools. The branches of education
now taught are enough to tax both
pupils and teachers without further
additions, and this movement which
is evidently only made in the inter
est of music publishers ought to be
heavily sat down upon. Besides
that there are many children who
have no taste or ear for music, and
it would be as difficult to teach them
music as it would be to teach COW
theology. This is certainly branch
that sho uld be left with the parents
and pupils.
