and said he desired to bring up the
question of change of music books in
the schools. 1t was great question, he
said, and it had been agitated before.
Two years ago the committee was induced
to introduce the natural system into the
Casco and Jackson schools, and he was
! thoroughly convinced that this system is
superior to the normal system, as taught
in the other schools of the city. He made
d motion to the effect that the natural
system be substituted for the normal
course in the two lower grades of primary
and the fourth grade of Grammar schools.
Mr.. Hall replied to DR.. Vose at con-
siderable length, strongly endorsing the
normal music system and arguing against
any change. He said text books should
never be changed except for very i'm
portant reasons. The normal system has
given good satisfaction, is we'll recon-
necessity for a change. He then read
several replies from letters he had sent
out making enquiry as to what kind Of
music system is in use in other cities.
Superintendent, of schools and prominent
educators of Springfield, Providence and
Everett wrote him, endorsing the normal
system. Mr.. Hall added that he did not
deny that the natural system has merit.
but he claimed the merit of the normal
system is far superior. He believed this
question is being agitated. not because of
any dissatisfaction on the part Of the
people, but through the intervention of
agents of the publishers of opposition
systems. He assaulted the methods of the
American Book company, by whom the
natural system is published.
DIR. Vose highly complimented the adj
yancement made in music at the Casco
and jackson schools, under the natural
system. He said it will cost no more to
introduce the natural system in the
grades mentioned than to renew the worn
out books of the normal system.
Mr.. Whitehouse spoke heartily in favor
of the natural system. He had visited
several Massachusetts schools, compared
the merits Of three systems and was salts
fed that the natural system is fully
year in advance of any other.
Mr.. Brownson and DIR. Warren also ex-
pressed themselves as in favor of the
natural system, while Mr.. MCGOWAN and
Mr.. Peabody favored continuance of the
no rmal system.
