This week marks the beginning OF
the sixth year for the Louise Lakin
School OF Foundation Music. This
system is unique in modern music
teaching in the manner of presenting
the elements Of notation. theory and
history Of music along with the
child's actual practice at the piano,
thus correlating his music with his
other school studies and avoiding
years Of musical training.
This year a new activity has been
added to the schools curriculum to
meet an increasing demand for the
same system OF instruction in art for
children that Miss Lakin has used
in the musical field. Glasses in the
basic principles of art will be in
charge of Lucille Hit Burnside.
