But it must be remembered that an indifferent voice with slight cultivation is very much improved, and often developes into a voice of excellent quality. We hope that at the next meeting of Mr. Carey's class a much larger number of students will be present. The fee is very reasonable and the instruction good.

For some time public opinion in Germany has been much exercised about the physical condition of the boys; they were good scholars, but listless; inactive, unenterprising, often appallingly short-sighted. A remedy is to be sought not only in gymnastics but in cricket and foot-ball and other out-door games requiring skill and agility. It is a wise ruling...
