A Terre Hsut« Lady In California. The

following from the Los Angeles,

Cal., Express will be of interest to the many friends here of Mrs. Burt, formerly Miss Scott, daughter of Judge Harvey D. Scott:

In obedience to what I deemed a duty and which I found to be a great pleasure, I visited the public school on Sand street yesterday afternoon a

Bhort

time,

and there enjoyed a rare musical treat by a class of little boys and girls, ranging from 7 to 8 years old. And among some other exercises they were called upon by the teacher to practice singing. I must say that I was surprised, delighted and astonished at the proficiency and skill displayed in that act by those little ones. Their singing was really excellent and well worthy the attention of aDy one who loves and admires to witness the intellectual and moral growth of our rising generation. And I will guarantee that a visit to Mrs. Burt's primary class will prove not only interesting but instructive, as showing to what extent the human voice can be cultivated and attuned even when in infancy. M. WHALING,

Of the board of education.
