MUSIC I'M THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

AS result Of the instruction in
music given in the public schools of
st. Louis, each graduate of the high
schools of that city is familiar with
fifty grand opera choruses or selec-
lions from oratorios, in addition to
wide range of less pretentious songs
of merit. This work, which is observ-
ed with interest by officials of the
United States Bureau of Education
has been carried on in its present form
for five years. In the course of this
time great chorus Of $500 st. Louis
school children, accompanied by the
Damrosch Symphony orchestra. sang
with great success selections from
classical compositions and music of
the highest character. Several or
chestra-choral concerts have been
given jointly with the st. Louis Sym
phony orchestra, the vocal pieces be-
ing divided equally among three
| choruses of about 400 children each.
Among the composers represented in
the repertoire of the ST. Louis school
children are Wagner, Offenbach,
! Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Gounod,
Verdi, Grieg and Costa.
The supervisor of music instruction
in the st. Louis public schools rs
\ quoted as saying:
AS early as the seventh grade
children are given selections from the
easier arrangements of oratories and
4 grand operas, and from music of a
- nd
echoruses is continued through the
high school In this way we inculcate
a love and understanding of classical
music with such good effect that
among the 10000 school children of
st. Louis there are few advanced
pupils who would not much rather
sing fine music than rag-time.
However, we shall not be
satisfied till the children are
brought to the point where thew
will understand and enjoy symphony
music, training in which is very
nearly the ultima Thule of the music
lovers education At the present rate
of progress, the children ought to
reach this stage of music culture in
five years.
The supervisor says that any child
can be taught to sing If the teacher
, will simply play or sing the strain
often enough in company with him.
, That is the basic principle on which
: work is conducted--the child is
i started to singing by singing to him.
, not by making him learn the scale.
: In the end, technique comes to him
easily, almost unconsciously, with the
: result that the new method of teach
ing singing actually develops more
sightreaders of music than did the
old method of teaching singing by
practicing the scale.
/ The work which is being done in
music in the st. Louis schools is
l regarded as of wide Importance by
l James G. Boykin. the editor of the
United States Bureau of Education,
, by reason of the fact that II is a
conspicuous example of the truth that
: the potential musical ability of the
American people is practically as
great as is that of any other nation
: requiring nothing more than training
