Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hymns for Elementary Schools: Original and Selected HE studies which are usually pursued at school, in con sequence Of their variety, have in them a distracting influence on the mind. Even though their number be strictly limited instead Of being multiplied to meet the demands of the increasing pressure Of modern life, the result must be much the same, for intellectual instruction can never be a thing which is very simple. Hence, whatever tends to connect together in some harmonious way the varied pursuits Of children at school is Ofthe greatest value in their education. The short service held at the opening and closing Of the day's work, Of which singing a hymn forms a part, does more than anything else to establish a feeling Of unity about life at school. The child is commencing to weave the web of life, and the pattern seems complex and difficult, but here is a single thread Of great beauty which combines it into a whole, and unites the bewildering details Of the parts.
