Salutatory.
Miss Leila Robbins, as saluta-
torian, chose for her subject,
EMuslc.
The traveller, as he wends his
way over hill and dale, through
sunshine and leafy shade, greets
gladly the milestones as, one by
one, he nears and passes them,
knowing well they mark his pro-
gress on his journey so, to us,
tonight is one of the milestones
of life, to which we have long
looked forward, from the time
when tiny tots in the first grade
through ten years of the sunlight
and shadows of school life; and
we come to you, and thank you,
that you have by your presence
and looks of kindly encourage
ment helped to make it a shining
one, which shall be surrounded
by a halo of joyous memories
when other miIestones are passed,
and the CANCEL of the Backward
Look" shall offer to US the dear
est picture.
Again we bid you welcome,
and sincerely hope our work to-
night will please you. 1 know
my theme will call up pleasant
thoughts, for 1 come to speak of
an art which has found lovers in
all ages and all lands, the beau
tiful art of Music.
In attempting to trace the his
tory of music, we find the pro-
gress hindered by difficulties
quite as great as those which
have attended the efforts of
modern explorers to discover the
source of the Nile.
Music, unlike architecture,
sculpture, and painting is neces-
sarily ephemeral in its material
form. Of its character during
remote periods we know Moth
ing; but there are many things
that make us know the fact that
it has always been cultivated in
some form.
The earliest tonal system, the
only one which has exercised any
influence upon modern musical
art, is that of the Greeks. This
system was invented by Pyth-
agoras, who was the noted Greek
mathmetician and philosopher,
about $50 years before the birth
of Christ. Pythagoras is the
author of the "Immutable Sys-
tenn" The musical scale con-
sisted of seven tones, correspond
ing to the seven planets: Moon,
Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars,
Jupiter and Saturn.
It was based upon certain
mathematical abatement, from
the suppositon that a strange
relation existed between the laws
governing the heavenly bodies
and the laws of harmony.
The favorite instrument of the
ancients was the Tyre, and its
sweet music soothed their pas
sions, and attuned their souls to
the eternal harmonies of the uni
verse.
In this age there are no great
musical discoveries. For some
reason the period of develop
ment seems to have reached a
climax. l suppose other people
think, as l, that it would be
impossible to make it any more
beautiful and perfect.
A home without music is not
perfect home. emusic to reach
the heart must come from the
heart" With many, music is
practical; and, though their
technic be fine, their playing
makes no impression; and why
is it? Simply because it comes
not from the heart.
