A Plea for Musical Culture.

Art if it be anything is the perpetual uplifting of what is beautiful. But men in the haste of their lives are continuity forgetting that we need inspiration. Encourage the children in the art of music, which embraces the divine gift of poetry with music that is, song. This is apart of educational work. It helps to cultivate the emotions and to lay a good foundation to moral character. Giving public entertainments, creates a stimulus to the children. It also teaches them self possession, ease and grace of manners. ]&rents encourage yonr children, citizens assist in the advancement of education in this department.
