MUSIC (Cont'd)
knowledge in it is a wearisome and heartless toil; - while others love
it, and hover over its study, and never cease to think, and seldom to
talk of its beauties and enrapturing charms, and of the pleasant hours
they have spent in its exercises .•••
"We long to see music become a branch of education, and considered
and viewed in the 1 ight which its importance demands. We hope soon to
see it introduced into our schools, public and private, and that parents
will feel as anxious that their children should possess a knowledge of
music as of Geography, or Arithmetic.... It is almost the only branch
of study, the direct tendency of which is to improve and cultivate the
feelings." (18)
