than by the appeal to their intellects through their constantly increasing consciousness of power to grasp the subject and meaning of new musical compositions.
"It may be remembered that in my first report on this subject, I stated that the results which should follow the study of music in the public schools were threefold, viz., the ability to sing music at sight, the growth and improvement of the voice, and the capability to sing with expression.
"Without having gained the first of these results, it is folly to attempt the attainment of the others. Except the two last named shall receive due attention, the ability to sing at sight will cause injury to the singer, and become a source of annoy- ance to his friends. To insure the greatest degree of symmetry in the musical attainments of the pupils, each day's instruction must, so to speak, cut off a section from each of these depart- inents of the art of singing, in the order named. While the recognition of this fact has been the basis of the methods of musical instruction which from the beginning have been followed in your schools, and while we shall ever try to maintain proper proportions in the education of the pupils, the fact that, in the grammar grades, at least, the ability to sing at sight now exists in a great degree makes it possible to devote much more time to the cultivation of the voice than has before been advisable.
"It is to this department of the work that I wish to call your especial attention.
"The systematic work in voice cultivation, which has for some time past been made a special feature of the musical instruction, is bearing fruit in a manner which, though natural, is no less worthy of careful attention. I refer to the produc- tion and development of exceptional voices. There is no building without its quota of such voices ; voices which, even in the singing in the primary grades, make themselves felt in a manner which speaks volumes for their future value.
"It seems to me that the possession of a fine voice is in itself, during the period of childhood and youth, an element of danger, which makes it especially necessary to watch the musical activity of children who possess such voices, in order to prevent them from doing themselves physical injury by means of the very instrument with which nature has endowed
185
them, and which, under proper management, may become the source of health and happiness.
"Many of the children are just awaking to the knowledge of the fact that they possess voices of exceptional ease and sweetness. The danger of this knowledge lies in the fact that it leads them to err in two particulars, viz., they may sing too much or too long, or, what is worse, they may sing too loudly.
"While children are attending school and singing twenty minutes per day, it will not be wise to urge them to do too much singing even in the home. Still less will it be advisable to place them where they will be likely to be required to sing heavy music.
"The injury done to the voice by too much singing, how- ever, is not to be compared to that caused by too loud singing.
"Nothing so weakens the vocal organs and destroys the quality of tone by robbing it of all its sweetness, as the effort to produce large tones. Children have not large voices; and whenever they make the effort to sing loudly, they do so to the injury of their vocal organs.
"Let this fact be taken as the basis of the method relating to the management of the children's voices by all who super- vise their singing in the home, church, or Sabbath-school. Let the voices be always used for the production of sweet rather than of strong tones, and wait for them to grow as the child grows ; and when your children shall be young men and wo- men, many of them will have voices which will enable them to give correct expression to musical ideas of the highest char- acter.
"In a sense the children of Quincy are my children, and it is my interest in them that leads me to urge upon you thus strongly the importance of cooperation with the teachers and myself in our endeavor to develop and train their voices. What this cooperation may be you will readily see, and I feel sure that I have only to mention this matter to secure your aid, inasmuch as such care as you may be able to exercise in preventing loud or long-continued singing may materially ad- vance the musical interest of the children.
"Your confidence in my judgment in so vital a matter, which you have shown in many ways, has been to me a con- stant incentive to careful and conscientious work, and it will
186
be my endeavor in the future, as in the past, to do all in my power to follow the methods of instruction which shall syste- matically cultivate both the mental and physical conditions of the art of singing ; methods which not only aim to give the mind musical ideas to express, but which also make the voice capable of giving them effective utterance. "

In previous reports I have remarked that a community is sure to secure as good schools as it demands, and equally cer- tain to have as poor schools as it will tolerate. The fact has been pointed out that the outlook for the schools under a city form of government is not in some respects as favorable as
Florence A. Crawford
187
under the town form. There never was a time when the schools of Quincy stood more in need of judicious friends than at present.
I venture to hope that successive school boards will be found as far in advance of general sentiment as may be possible without sacrificing the confidence of the public; to hope that the community will show confidence enough in its school offi- cials to enable them to effect from time to time such changes in the conduct of the schools as a wisely progressive policy may dictate. It is not a very difficult matter to maintain schools of sufficient excellence to satisfy the general public, but to meet the reasonable expectations of the most enlightened members of such general public is not an easy thing.
I cannot close this report without again giving expression to the sincere regret with which I contemplate the termination of official relations which to me have been extremely pleasant. Whatever of good has been accomplished in the past dozen years has been chiefly the result of the intelligence, zeal, and devotion of our teachers. I trust that such qualities may never fail to meet with generous appreciation at the hands of succeed- ing school committees. I can bespeak for my successor no more cordial support and co-operation than I have always received at your hands. Such relations in the future as in the past, will prove the surest guarantee of a wise and stable ad- ministration of the important interests committed to your charge.
