Not a Nation Of Singers.

In this country, though we have pro-
duced many fine voices, we have never
become nation OF singers. There are,
it is true, in most of the leading cities,
choral societies, but the singing OF
large groups of people is comparatiye-
ly uncommon among us. Here is a
matter for regret. for among all large
bodies OF singers where there has been
more or less training the effect is beau
tiful and inspiring. In fact, there are
few things In music more impressive
than the singing of hundreds OF
voices.
