MUSIC FOR CHILDREN.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS' POLICY.
." A GOOD SHAKING-UP."
" Perhaps tho niQSt noticeable feature in the school this year has been the increased attention to music." said Mr. J. Drumiiioiid, headmaster of the Auckland Gramiliar School at the prize-giving ceremony hist evening. " Iho average bov is said to prefer noise, and wo still have a few who occasionally indulge in that, form of self-expression. But the orchestra, the trumpet band, and the school chorus singing have done much to brighten tho daily round and the tedium of school work." After congratulating the boys on tho orchestra and their singing, the Hon. C. J. Tarr, Minister for Education, said he intended that the matter of music: should have a good slink-ing-up in the primary schools. He thought there was not half enough being done in this way. The happiest men were tlioso who had a good healthy hobby like music.
