"Many boards of education provide teachers of the
violin, flute, trombone, piano and other instruments,
and pupils do their practicing during school hours.
But even if your board of education makes no such
provision, and you have to borrow an instrument
and practice after school, you ought, nevertheless, to
learn to play. After you and other boys and girls
have taken lessons for a few months you will then
be able to organize a school band or a school orches-
tra of your own. You can have good music in your
school and in your community if you really want it."
The new book is published by Hinds, Hayden &
