THIS music series, consisting of four books, covers the 

 work of the primary and grammar grades. It contains 

 nearly a thousand songs of exceptional charm and 

 interest, which are distinguished by their thoroughly artistic 

 quality and cosmopolitan character. The folk songs of many 

 nations, selections from the works of the most celebrated 

 masters, numerous contributions from many eminent Ameri- 

 can composers, now presented for the first time, are 

 included. 



C[ The Eleanor Smith Music Course is graded in sympathy 

 with the best pedagogical ideas according to which every 

 song becomes a study, and every study becomes a song. 

 Technical points are worked out by means of real music, 

 instead of manufactured exercises; complete melodies, instead 

 of musical particles. Each technical point is illustrated by a 

 wealth of song material. A great effort has been made to 

 reduce to the minimum the number of songs having a very 

 low alto. 



|J The course as a whole meets the demands of modern 

 education. Modern life and modern thought require the 

 richest and best of the past, combined with the richest and 

 best of the present, so organized and arranged as to satisfy 

 existing conditions in the school and home. The series 

 is world wide in its sources, universal in its adaptation, 

 and modern in the broadest an^ truest sense of the 

 word.
