THE MUSIC SCHOOL.
Prof. Hiiderbrand Writes ADoui
the Forthcoming Normal.

BY the permission Of The Sen
tinel. | desire to speak through
its columns to its readers and
friends regarding the music Nor
NAL which viii be held at Ninn-
field. from June 23rd. to July H..
While this method Is used 10
address the music public by let
ter. | trust that every reader OF
The Sentinel will regard it as
personal.
First let me say that the ones
who subscribed so literally to
have the Louisiana State Normal
of Music conducted at Winfield
this season. deserve TO be heartily
congratulated for such an inter-
est in the culture Of music. 1t Is
undoubtedly an act OF love to their
fellowmen. Il willingness 10 sac
riiice on their part to bring higher
culture to their countrymen, such
an interest in good and ennob-
ling cause is not to be desplsed.
but ought TO be encouraged and
assisted in its undertaking as far
as possible by every citizen who
loves his children. church and
country.
The culture of music is consid-
cred one of the most important
features of a polite, religious aud
refined society.
Nothing is more elevating in
the ideal home: nothIug more in
spring to the better nature OF
man. Recollect what Shake
sphere makes Portia say: He
who has no music in his soul and
is not moved BY concord OF
sweet sounds, is fit for treason,
strategem and spoils. The soul
Of that man is dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted"
We trust that the Forthcoming
music Normal at Winfield will
be an opportunity to many and |
should like for every lover of
music in reach to possess it.
would yet say modestly that
the teachers in charge Will en-
deavor to offer the ripest fruits of
their knowledge and experience
to bring this school up to the
greatest possible success. They
will be your servants to the best
of their ability. May we not
have such an awakening of mu sic
at Winfield that it will be an
honor to her citizens and help to
make her history glorious? Let
us have victory in good accom-
plishments.
Trusting that we may have the
pleasure of meeting many during
the session of the Normal. who
are devoted and interested in the
"Divine Art
l am most Respectfully,
