There is such a wealth of suitable songs for morning exercises that it seems hardly necessary to suggest many. The hymns selected should be inspiring and uplifting; the patriotic songs should be thoroughly learned and sung in an enthusiastic manner. =Patriotic Songs= America Battle Hymn of the Republic Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean Dixie Flag of the Free God Speed the Right Marching through Georgia Marseillaise Hymn Jerseyland National Hymn Old Glory The American Hymn The Battle Cry of Freedom The Star Spangled Banner =Folk Songs= Annie Laurie Auld Lang Syne Flow Gently, Sweet Afton Home, Sweet Home Juanita My Old Kentucky Home Oft in the Stilly Night Old Black Joe Old Folks at Home Robin Adair Santa Lucia The Blue Bells of Scotland The Miller of Dee =Lullabies= Cradle Song Lullaby and Good-night Oh, Hush Thee, my Baby Sweet and Low Silent Night =Sacred= How Gentle God's Command Holy, Holy, Holy In Heavenly Love Abiding Italian Hymn Love Divine, All Love Excelling Nearer, My God, to Thee Oh, Worship the King The King of Love There's a Wideness in God's Mercy Vesper Hymn MUSICAL APPRECIATION The introduction of the phonograph into the public school and the multitude of records which reproduce the great masterpieces now make it possible for every child to have an opportunity to hear and to be taught to appreciate good music. Frequently part of the morning exercise period should be devoted to an appreciation of good vocal and instrumental musical selections. In one rural school the pupils readily associate the name of the composition and composer with each of the following records, which they helped to purchase: Anvil Chorus from "Il Trovatore"--Verdi Barcarolle from "Tales of Hoffman"--Offenbach Hearts and Flowers--Tobain Humoresque--Dvorak Intermezzo from "Cavalleria Rusticana"--Mascagni Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark--Bishop Melody in F--Rubinstein Miserere from "Il Trovatore"--Verdi Pilgrim's Chorus from "Tannhauser"--Wagner Sextette from "Lucia di Lammermoor"--Donizetti Spring Song--Mendelssohn Traumerei--Schumann Literature on musical appreciation will be mailed free to all teachers who request it from the educational departments of the phonograph manufacturers. Teachers who are really interested in giving their pupils the best music will find that a number of their patrons are willing to lend records to the school for special exercises. Following are suggestive musical programs: A Morning with Beethoven Bible Reading and Lord's Prayer Minuet in G, No. 2 (phonograph) "The Moonlight Sonata," Reading by pupil The Moonlight Sonata (phonograph) The Flag Salute, Pupils A Morning with Mendelssohn Hark! the Herald Angels Sing, Song by School Bible Reading and Lord's Prayer Spring Song (phonograph) Oh, For the Wings of a Dove (phonograph) The Flag Salute, School Indian Songs
