Music a National Unifer.

Atlantic Monthly: Any one who has
compared town and city life in this
country and in Europe, and has seen
what a pleasure and what a civilizing
influence music may become when 1t
is properly taught in childhood, must
realize how great loss our people sus-
tain tby the neglect of singing We
are only now beginning TO realize how
long it takes to weld diverse people
into one by means of an intellectual
conception of nationality. The thin
bond of self-interest, the advantage OF
getting on" in the worid-these keep
us together in ordinary times; but In
a great crisis such bonds break. the
Ieaven of sentiment is needed. We
want common sympathy; We want
above all some means of expression
for that sympathy. There have been
of late numerous great meetings at
which the feelings of men and women
have expended themselves in shouts,
in cheers. in the clapping of hands,
and in other inartieulate methads or
expressing emotions. What would
not a song have done for these thous-
ands-a song they all knew and loved!
Are we forever to be dumb?

People are often most unreasonaoiS
impatient with physical deafness. But
even the most unreasonable person. II
he stopped to think. could not maintain
that the deaf person was to blame for
his deafness.
Now there is also deafness OF the
mind. Some people. especially old folks.
are to use an old term. "a little hard OF
hearing" in their brains. And there arc
many people who really blame their
housema,es for this sort Of deafness
For instance. I know man whose
