SO’HDOOlL LIFE AND MUSIC Music as a subject of education ‘is very much in the air at present; ‘we meet it on all sides. I think it ‘is now realized that music is some- thing more than an: elegant accompâ€" ‘lishmernt â€" it is aflso a very valu- able mental and even moral. disci- pline, and! therefore we must ensure 'to our young people the best oppor- tunities possi'ble in the pursuance of their musical studies.

Somewhere in the back-waiters of our educational life there may re- main a few of those quaint surviv- al‘s of a past age who see nothing bud: the vocational side of education. For the most part, however, these highly exclusive traditionalists have {been s-haimed: inrto concealing- their prejudices, ana‘. betray themselves only occasionally 'by implications in some of their public utterances.

Bloomfield Jordan, 84 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, Ontario has become overwhelming, and their ability has demonstrated itselif beâ€" ‘yond dispute in the eyes of those best qualified to judge. ’For the ex- ‘cepticnalfly gifted, time should be allowed that their talents may be lderveloped to the full with as little loss as possible to their general eduâ€" cation. School music should -be one of their chief means of building in- telligent audiences for the future: Olf enabling thousands upon thou- sands of young people to form friendships with the great composâ€" ers; of sharpening their receptive and! anilytical‘ aural faculties, and of bringing keen joy into those leisure hours which, economists tell us, fu- ture years will bestow in more abun- dant measure. Music is not primar- ily somethian that you do â€"â€" it is something that you live, and! for that reason active participation in- music making for its own sake is greatlry to be desired. , Therefore, whatever place we give music in our educational scheme (and to deny it any place is simply to proclaim Ionesellf an ignoramus, not of music, but of education) it should not 'be given a grudginng admission and isolated from other subjects, ‘but be linked up with history, literature, languages, and even mathematics. Music should certainly not be ridden to death as this or that teaclher‘s individual hob'by, [but every teacher should realize that it is unnatural 'to ignore it. Why, ior instance, should simple arithmetical divisions be applied only to space and not also 'to time? Why should the rhythm of music not be associated naturally and at an early stage with the ac- \cenit of poetry? Why should the study of History ignore music or meglect the opportunities it presents of strengthening the historicall imag- ination? Think of the reality .of a geography lesson if each country were associated with one or two folk-songs! They often teach a good deal about imports and exports which are often dull to read“ aubOut. 'Sea-charnteys frequently tell us a good deal about cargoes!

Mamkind’s perceptive facul- ties for the finer things of life must, if they acre to survive, be given a chance to function, and! to function throughout the Whole community. The arts are emphatically not a lux- uny -â€" though, of course, they may become so. They are the natural expression of sensitive and cultivat- ed) human minds and‘ like religion are more fundamental than many of our cherished political and! economic in- stitutions. 2.

One of the most tragic features of nineteenth century civilization was its indifference to music. The hard~headedl business man of the p'ast surrounded himself with a proâ€" tective wall against emotional exâ€" p'ression, andl relaxed only in rare moments; in those moments he was apt to become either maudilin or ex- cessively boisterous; frequently both.
