lO TH E ETUD E G. SCHIRMER, Ne w York. For the Home and the Kindergarten Small Songs for Small Singers B Y W. H. NEIDLINGER Colored Pictures by Walter Bobbett Price $1.50 net In all branches of Kindergarten work, the value of " first impressions " and the influence of " environment)} are matters upon which peculiar stress is laid. From refined homes, too, trivial music and coarse pictures are instinctively banished, while whatever is good in art is gladly welcomed. From this point of view, teachers and parents will greet with pleasure a book which, like Mr. Neidlinger's, is wholesomely musical and tasteful from beginning to end. Nearly every one of these forty-nine wee songs is a real object-lesson in nature, though a peda-gogic purpose is nowhere felt in the natural, child-like verses for which the music was specially written. The melodies and their piano accompaniments are adapted in rhythm, pitch, and key, to their respective subjects, and likewise to the abilities of little singers; underlying all simplicity, there is real musicianly feeling and expression, and the child's ear will be insensibly educated to like and appreciate truth in music. Mr. Bobbett's illustrations are charmingly characteris-tic ; they are colored in soft tones, with one or more on each page, as space permits or the given subject suggests, and leave nothing to be desired in either artistic o r mechanical execution. It would be hardly possible to find a more attractive and suitable gift-book for little boys and girls.
