es." 36: Robert Schumann. 37: Read John Ruskin's "Sesame and the Lilies," par. 19, and as much of what follows as you deem wise. 38: "The Ethics," Book IX, Chapter VII. 39: Always I have it in mind that the teacher will read or make reference to the original when the source is so obvious as in this case. The teacher's, or mother's, discretion should, however, decide what and how much of such original should be read, and what it is best to say of it. 40: I have not attempted to quote the exact words usually given. 41: Socrates. This quotation is from the "Memorabilia of Xenophon," Book I, Chapter VI. 42: Mary Russell Mitford. 43: "Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini," Bohn edition, p. 23. 44: "The Miserere" of "Gregorio Allegri." It was written for nine voices in two choirs. "There was a time when it was so much treasured that to copy it was a crime visited with excommunication. Mozart took down the notes while the choir was singing it." (See Grove's "Dictionary of Music and Musicians." Vol. I, page 54.) 45: Dr. Bridge "On Simple Counterpoint." Preface. 46: Take, in August Haupt's "_Choralbuch zum haeuslichen Gebrauch_," any simple choral.

(They can be had in the Litolff collection.) 49: Op. 106. 50: "_Der Erster Verlust_" in Schumann's Op. 68 is well conceived in the sense that it is freely harmonic in some places, imitative in others, while in the opening the melody is very simply accompanied. Show the children how interesting the left-hand part is in this little composition. 51: From a Letter of the Spectator. 52: From the eighth paragraph of the Lecture entitled "Nicholas, the Pisan," in "Val D'Arno." 53: A blind beggar sitting on a bridge in an English town (it was Chester) many times astonished me with the rapidity of his hand-reading, and by the wonderful light of his face. It was wholly free from the perplexity which most of us show. It must arise in us from being attracted by so many things. 54: Eighty-first paragraph of "Val d'Arno." 55: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, "The Meditations," Book V, Par. 34. 56: See footnote, p. 119. 57: From the thirte
