The children are remarkably quick
in learning new songs, and when once
learned they sing them with an en
thusiasm that is really refreshing. '
The girls get the songs more readily
than the hoys, uot that they are so
tnuch'htighter itt learning, but prin

teacher in Miss Krgenziuger, then
too like all other girls they sing
more than the boys. We are grateful
to these friends for making the new
books a possibility.
