36 VOCAL MUSIC IN THE FAMILY AND SCHOOL. 



Within the month Mr. Schauffler gave a most interesting model 

 lesson of this kind to three classes of children combined, in the large 

 Broad Street Public School in Stapleton, Richmond County, at the 

 invitation of friends who hope that the school authorities of Staten 

 Island will promptly seize the opportunity, now within their grasp, 

 to place their County, at least in this study, conspicuously in the 

 van of the entire State. 



Our people are awakening to the fact that life must be made more 

 cheerful as it moves along, that rational pleasure duly mixed with 

 toil brings no waste or loss and that familiar joys wear the best. 

 The secret of success lies in the correct choice of the means best 

 fitted to produce these results. 



Here is one, within the reach of all, that has never failed, when 

 called upon, to accomplish all that is claimed for it. 



If the families and schools of the land generally avail themselves 

 of it, no prophet ts needed to predict the beneficial results that will 

 speedily follow.
