To the Editor of the Press:
We wonder if the parents of our Port
land children realize what excellent work
is being done in the matter of singing at
the public schools. 1t was our good for
tune to go through the different grades
and to find ourselves delighted by the
aptness in reading and rendering music
shown by the children.
Mrs. Merrill the vocal teacher, is most
careful and thorough in her instructions,
and the girls and boys are gaining not
only a sweetness of tone, hitherto lack
ing in the average American voice, but
also an intellectual drill which is adj,
mirable. Perhaps mathematics excepted,
no study requires greater mental quick
ness and accuracy than does music.
Even the children in the lowest room
of the primary were alert, each beating
time with tiny fore finger, every one
learning that eyes and attention must
not wander if the scale is to be sung
arght.
Mrs. Merrill's gentleness and patience
are unfailing, and the pleasure all her
pupils take in their work is charming to
see,

cellent training of eye and ear under
Mrs. Merrill in our public schools.
