really remarkable and compares favor
ably with the work Of the larger.

large sums for their choir while Good

Its history has been one of vicissi-
tudes and changes. In 1899 Mr. Cole
who had charge OF boy ehoirs in Eng
land. began training half a dozen boys
on Sunday evenings The quarters were
cramped. for they had to hold rehearsaIs
in the clergy house Soon after Mr. Cole
died and the first time the boys sang in
vestments was at his funeral On the
following spring they sang evening songs
in the chapel Now they had not passed
the period of chewing gum and making
faces at the congregation. When the
new church was occupied the choir be-
gan singing night and morning. For six
months they had the aid of women. Last
winter o. H. Comstock. of the Church
of the Ascension, voluntarily trained The
boys, which resulted in perfecting the
choir to its present high standard. Mr.
c. H. Child is the present organist, who
also gives his services voluntarily
The boys are held together by Boys
Club Saturday morning outings, while
once a month on Tuesday evenings the
parish hall is turned over to them TO
play games in or enjoy the readinE of
some interesting book. Two medals are
given yearly, one for Improvement in
tone quality aud ability to read music
and the other for general attendance and
department.

The exclusive use of boys and men

First American Boy Choir.
The choir boy was first introduced in
America at Trinity Church. in New
York, when Edward VII, then Prince
of Wales. visited us in 1860. It was
thought that it was a compliment to
:hus establish the English custom The
innovation spread about the country and
was soon adopted in large parishes.

Life of a Boy Voice.

The boy voice usually lasts until the
sixteenth o. seventeenth year. That is,
with careful training. There is 40 dan
ger for the mature voice in its use IL
the tones are properly placed and the
organ never taxed beyond endurance by
too arduous singing The innocence of
the child renders it peculiarly fitting for
The service Of the church. and It's tones,
while high ana ranging on the whole as
full as the woman soprano, are never
shrfu and have that fndescribable quail
" that caused Dutch visitors TO the
court of Queen Caroline on hearing the
boys Of St Paurs Cathedral TO ex-
claim: They sing with the voices Of
angels.
The boy. chorister has been the unfaiI-
ing theme Of story and song. and re-
cent rather questionable innovation has
been his introduction in modern stage
drama.
Nursery Of Nations Musicians.
The boy choir is The nursery Of ma
tons musicians. The fancy is kindled
and awakened TO music and all its
pleasures and privileges in the forma-
tive hours Of hoyhood IN England Sir
Arthur Sullivan and Barnaby: in dsss
many. Mendelssohn. schumann. and r.

boys, singing with sweet voices ana

There are few choirs in the country
where finer ensemble work is produced,

The hymns are peculiarly beautiful.
for they are sung in such manner that
the words are understood and the mean

In the course Of conversation on the
boy voice in general and St Paul's
choir in particular, Mr.. Winchester
said:
Training Young Singers.
In regard to training boys do not
agree with the celebrated. stubbs idea
that the boys who have refined. Iuxri-
rious homes make the best singers. I
have found that the sadness. hardships,
and cheerIessness produced by poverty
at home often, very often, lend pe-
cuIiar sweetness and sympathy to the
voice that brightness and luxury do
not always give. Some of the most sui

A Strict Disciplinarian.

Mr. Winchester is strict with the boys
almost to severity, but the results OBJ
tanned are apparent in every service.
Outside of choir hours the boys and
master are like brothers, enjoying thea
tiers and country outings.
The choir is conducted III a thoroughly
systematic way. It's policy is first Of all
to pay the boys a certain salary. accord

dance and department There are three
grades. those in grade 1 receive $125
