Voice Culture Classes

and no special teachers of music are employed, as is the case in one city where there are elementary school choruses in each of the eighty-five buildings, class room teachers are selected to direct. The choruses are visited by the director of music and his assistants with the same regularity as are the class rooms. The elementary school chorus bears abundant fruit. Properly conducted it provides an added opportunity for fostering a love for music, for establishing musical standards, for extending song repertory. It furthers the musical development of the teachers; and it provides a means of selfexpression in a group activity, which is cultural in inception and in result. Moreover each chorus is an asset in another respect, for being a group activity it unifies the student body, demands good "teamwork" for its success and creates the best type of school spirit.
