There is nothing that so alleviates
sorrow, relieves feelings oppressed
lightens the burdens OF life, inspires
with hope or electrifies with JOY as
does music. Wrath, i'll will, hatred,
uuarrelsomeness melt before it; 1t
pac!fies, gladdens and brings peace,
and the home without Its songs or
sweet vibrations loses hall its charms
and hence every home that fails to
grant to Its children musical educa-
ton deprlves the home of one OF
earth's greatest blessings.
