PREFACE.
The collection of songs herewith offered to the public has been
made in the effort to realize certain ideals that for many years have
actuated me in my work with the children.
A long experience in the training of large classes representing
various ages and all grades of society, has demonstrated the fact that
in every child there is the germ of the power to appreciate the finest
music and to express his appreciation with the voice.
If proper training is begun before the voice is spoiled by bad
usage and before the natural instinct for that which is best has been
destroyed or replaced by the vulgar, the common, or the debasing in
music, every child is capable of being taught to express spontan-
eously in song the finer emotions,—sympathy and love to his fellow-
"creatures and worship to his Creator.
In all undertakings it is best to begin well, and this is particularly
true with regard to music. It is impossible to begin too early in child-
hood to teach that which is pure and high, and to awaken in the
child’s nature impulses that will stimulate the growth of worthy as-
‘ pirations, that no room may be left for weeds.
Accordingly, during all these years and particularly of late, |
have brought into my classes songs of high grade in both poetry and
music, with the expectation—which has been realized—that the taste
would improve by contact with what is elevated and refined, and that
the power to express the soul’s ‘emotions would be gradually -
developed.
In short, I have sought to apply in the department of song those
principles which underlie the work of all true educators, and
especially to foster by means of song the sentiments of brotherhood,
patriotism,.and worship.
What one voices in song, that must one live.
Wituiam L. Tom ins.

Childrens Singing Classes
mpd to all the little
Singers ino have beer,
nenbers of these Classes
this book is dedicated.
PREFACE.
The collection of songs herewith offered to the public has been
made in the effort to realize certain ideals that for many years have
actuated me in my work with the children.
A long experience in the training of large classes representing
various ages and all grades of society, has demonstrated the fact that
in every child there is the germ of the power to appreciate the finest
music and to express his appreciation with the voice.
If proper training is begun before the voice is spoiled by bad
usage and before the natural instinct for that which is best has been
destroyed or replaced by the vulgar, the common, or the debasing in
music, every child is capable of being taught to express spontan-
eously in song the finer emotions,—sympathy and love to his fellow-
"creatures and worship to his Creator.
In all undertakings it is best to begin well, and this is particularly
true with regard to music. It is impossible to begin too early in child-
hood to teach that which is pure and high, and to awaken in the
child’s nature impulses that will stimulate the growth of worthy as-
‘ pirations, that no room may be left for weeds.
Accordingly, during all these years and particularly of late, |
have brought into my classes songs of high grade in both poetry and
music, with the expectation—which has been realized—that the taste
would improve by contact with what is elevated and refined, and that
the power to express the soul’s ‘emotions would be gradually -
developed.
In short, I have sought to apply in the department of song those
principles which underlie the work of all true educators, and
especially to foster by means of song the sentiments of brotherhood,
patriotism,.and worship.
What one voices in song, that must one live.
Wituiam L. Tom ins.

MORNING HYMN.
W. W. GILCHRIST.
Two lit-tlehands to work for thee, Two lit-tle feet to walk thy ways,
O! Fa- ther, thou hast made them all, So here we of- fer them to thee;
Two lit - tle lips, kind words to speak, Two sharp ears, quick to hear thy call;
Two shin-ing eyes thy works to see, And one clear voice to sing thy praise.
And thou shalt use them each and all, That like to Je - sus we may be.
One child-ish heart that thou must make Kind-ly, and lov-ing un-to ail.
