way a language will always be studied with
other subjects, never three languages to-

the future, and never lost, by giving to it
alone two years of really thorough study.
Scholars who want to continue their draw-

Chorus singing should be practised every day
for the whole year, indoors and in the open
air. It should be treated as a means of ex-

covery of musical talent.

geography, natural science, and mathematics,

is a burden to all ; it works like the *’
water
torture " on talented individuals. It wears

are never able to do thorough work, and so
become superficial.
