Présentation de l'éditeur

Primary Department has not been provided for except by the presence of a few suitable pieces in each book. The increasing number of hymns of this class at our command suggested the idea of bringing them all together in one collection. In Infant Praises this has been accomplished, and we have also mtroduced a large number of pieces not before published, all of which we trust will prove valuable to Primary Teachers, and helpful in their important work. Jno. R. Sweney. W. J. KiRKPATRICK. Methods of teaching little children to sing. Miss R. dwelt on the importance of singing in a worshipful manner; felt it a hindrance in the accomplishment of good when it was used merely to fill in the time, or to make the children appear to advantage. Her plan was to dictate and teach one line at a time, always being careful to explain the meaning of the words, so that they might sing with the understanding. She always transposed the music to suit tlie childrens voices; also taught a few children first, so that they might lead the others. Mr. B. had words printed on board; also had words stenciled on muslin and attached to ordinary spring rollers and hung in front of scholars; also had a board with movable type on which two verses could be arranged at once. Mrs. M. taught the children to learn the air, humming the tune after committing the words to memory. Mrs. W., with copies of hymn book in hands of children, taught the children before school. A most excellent way seemed to be to first explain the meaning of hymn; then write the words upon a board; then have tune played on organ; then have children place the tune to the words as the teacher points to them, and the air is being played; then have teacher sing the piece through, and the children will be ready then to join the teacher in singing.
