In welcoming the audience, Mr. Beatâ€" tic, principal of the Mattagami Public sSchool, outlined the aims and purposes of teaching music to pupils in the schools. Good work had been done by individual teachers in the schools, said Mr. Beattic, up until the time when Mr. Wallace Young was hired as a musical director. However, the results of this work woere lost when the stuâ€" dents were moved from one grade to another, and for that reason it is of great advantage to have one teacher who may devote his time entirely to this work. Until the musical director . wuas rought to this town, there was no at~ tempt to teach the students "music appreciation," that is, the understandâ€" ing Of the better class of music. Now, three of the grades at the schools are up to the standards required by the Department of Education, while it is very likely that the other grades will enter this category next year.

It also creales an interest in cther sulbjects.
