CHILDREN ARE ENTHUSIASTIC.
Last Rehearsal For the Great Festival
OF Music Tonight.

4
of Music Tonight.
Owing to the pleasant change in the
weather, Mr.. Tomlins' rehearsals yesterday
were more largely attended and more in
spring than ever.
AS the children become more and more
imbued with his large spirit, they lend them
selvesmore and more readily to hisinfluenee:
and tone work and Interpretation become
of a higher order.
Mr.. Tomlins is indeed a true and great
teacher. the sincerity of whose work is such
that. while possibly the fun significance OF
his method is recognized only by teachers
themselves, yet the nerest novice in the study
OF music cannot but work upon broader lines
and a higher plane from contact with his
master spirit.
Moreover. the educational value of the
work is not confined to the one subject OF
music. Like all artists, he cannot work
in the particular without touching the
universal, and deals with such deep and
underlying principles in education that
teachers and students alike feel the inspir
alton of his lessons in all the lines Of their
own work
Mr.. Tomlins has easily won for himself
a place in the hearts of the music classes,
which warrants a warm welcome should he
year. as it is hoped he may. That the
artistic work of the children under his di-
rection viii win for him a like place in
the hearts of the music-Ioving public is
predicted. The following is the pro-
gramme for to-nights concert:
