Voice Culture.

Dear Miss Doom:
I have a boy IL years old. He has,
in my opinion, a splendid. strong
musical voice. and I would Hike him
to have 1t cultivated. He. Is not a
very obedlent boy. and says he will
not go to a singing teacher or school.
Would you advise me to force him to
go or shall I promise him a gift as
an inducement? Thanking you for
your answer. ,E. p.
l think that your boy is entirely too
young to have his voice trained now.
Wait until his vocal chords are more
fully developed. The strain to which
they would be put, II used too freely
