The subject unattractive to a promiscuous audience in this community,

53, — the practicability of introducing vocal music into schools, -

the ex-

periment has been successfully tried, 54— the musical ear not so rare, as
has been supposed, - facts observed in the Hawes' School, 55,- comparison
of our country with other nations, further arguments from the universality

of the musical ear, 56, - the argument for practicability is favored by the

simplicity of the Pestalozzian system of instruction, now every where

adopted, - also by the sympathy and excitement, which this branch awa-

kens answer to the objection that the study of music is too abstruse, 58

and to the opposite objection that it unnerves the mind, great cheap-

ness of musical instruction, answer to the objection that competent teach-

ers cannot be found, acquaintance with music ought to be one of the qual-

ifications of every teacher here, as in Germany and Prussia, 59, the in-

troduction of music shown also to be expedient, 60, the study is well suited

to young minds, 61, -

a faculty so universally bestowed ought not to be

neglected, answer to the objection that music would require too much

time, 62, importance of commencing this study while the organs are pliant,

hence the expediency of commencing it in our common schools, 63,—

ulterior benefits of introducing music into schools, not only valuable in

itself, but favorable to school discipline to punctuality—it refreshes the

pupils, and reconciles them to severe duties, 64-prepares them for devo.

tion, - vocal music advantageous physically-especially to the lungs —

improves speech and reading - a source of innocent and enduring happiness,

65,- influence of music upon national character, Germany - contrast

presented by our own country, 67, music favorable to morality and refine-

ment, 68, — important in a religious view, in its bearing upon the worship

of God, 69,- - a more general cultivation of it would promote a greater interest

and improvement in church music, 70, — the congregation would join

better choirs would be selected, existing defects in our church choirs at the

present time, 71, — heartlessness of our church music-its expensiveness,

72, superior charm of the vocal music of children causes of this, 73,

universal musical instruction favorable to Sunday schools to domestic wor-

ship, conclusion, 74.
