JAMKS L. HUdHES. 19 42 TN all Kindergarten Songs there is an intentii)n to appeal to the whole nature of the child, moral, mental J and physical. The physical exercise of the gesture appeals to the physical side first, but not most, y The language of gesture is developed first, naturally. The little child expresses his thoughts through his movements, long before the power of speech is developed ; and, in asking little children for gesture with songs, we are following the guide Nature gives us. If with each separate thought expressed in words, we unite the expression of the same in gesture, the thought is doubly impressed, because both the physical and mental actions are centred on the sam^ thought, the one reacts upon the other, mutally deepening the impression. There should be an especial effort on the part of the teacher to have the gesture given definitely by the entire class ; otherwise the individual impression of each child, from the combined action of the whole, will be indefinite, and the result will soon be apparent in the growing indifference of the class. This should he secured through sympathetic means always, not by force. Besides the physical and mental strength gained through gesture songs, there is also a moral strength gained, which perhaps will not be so evident at first thought. The child's words and actions correspond, he says and does at once according to his word. It is the principle of putting the thought into action, promptly and honestly, that works on his character unconsciously, but none the less certainly. The words of songs are designed to embody truths, which, stated abstractly in bare words, would make no impression whatever on the child's mind, but when presented in a figure as in the songs, become living, active truths, and because alive are of interest and make a deep impression. This early impression of feeling, corresponds to the chiV's indefinite ideas of other things, and we expect the feeling to develop into the thought, just as mathemaucal truths grow in the child's mind, into rules which are a permanent part of his mind ; both grow into formulated law through constant use and application. In this way the moral growth is one with the mental and physical, and subject to the same laws of development. As illustrating the threefold effect of the gesture sougS upon the child, and pointing out the action and reaction of one side of the nature upon the others, let us take " Good Morning, Merry Sunshine." " Good Morning, Merry Sunshine," is that of a care that never sleeps, that is constant in its loving interest, a care that extends to all children, as well as the birds and flowers. He who extends this care is the God of nature as well as of man. The idea of His personality is embodied in an active expression of His care ; and, while the children are in sympathy with that care, through the visible presence of the sunshine which He sends, their hearts are responding with all the love and thankfulness a child's heart can, to the per- sonality which is the living heart at the centre of all things. It is all of worship the dawning mind can be conscious of. There should be no attempt to define this hidden truth to them, they feel but cannot think yet. Grown up ideas are incomprehensible when in words, but reveal themselves in things. Instinct leads the child to be interested in things ; it is nature's call to love the truth. We should foster this instinct, that the truth which they embody, and which is the vital principle of all things, .'^ay be felt, and in time become clear to the consciousness. The rhythm, melody and gesture, all help to rouse the child's feeling, and if the teacher is in sympathy with the children; and the song is sung joyfully, but never boisterously, it cannot fail to arouse and deepen a feeling of thankful love with each repetition. \ ; The songs used should I)e appropriate to the season. If the air is fresh and invigorating with clear frost, the children's voices ring out in the notes of "Jack Frost " with a spontaneous sympathy of feeling. All the blood in their young veins responds to the thought embodied in the words, and there is no need of effort to arouse the feeling of sympathy. If the snow is falling fast outside, the song, "Oh, See the Snow," comes spontaneously, voicing the feeling which was not yet strong enough to find natural expression unaided, the heart is yet moved by each passing influence which, if unexpressed, is lost. Catch the inspiration from external conditions l)y selecting songs which embody the spirit of the external world, and the heart of the child comes into harmony with the heart of nature. • GESTURES FOR "GOOD MORNINC, MERRY SUNSHINE!"

In ordinary ronms the best way is to place one child in front of another, letting them move round and round the room in Indian File. Indeed in a large room it is a very pretty change from the row, to let the children change to Indian File, by turning half round after " mark time, stop !" and beginning the song over again in this position. The clapping must be in strict time to the marching. The word jump was chosen as being easier to sing than leap, but the proper movement is a short high leap, or 1)0imd. When the marking time is finished, the feet must be brought to the ground with aloud stamp, on the word " stop." This song can go on over and over again. 81 JBMISTON CHANT. h ; inarch, march, J J"'"P, jump, .j__-t :;:=q: 3:~: ]-^ 5— tZD way we clap ; way we ston : L=5 tr~d ^-\ 1 m -rrs j_^__.

This song is specially designed to teach the little ones the useful art of noiseless stepping. It is not the easiest thing in the world to walk on tip-toe ; and it is probable that many a valuable life has been lost in illness for want of the quiet, unbroken sleep that noisy and clumsy footsteps, inside as well as out- side the sick-room have made impossible. i ■ Walking on tip-toe is splendid discipline both for foot and head ; but care must be taken not to keep the children at it for any length of time, as it is extremely tiring, and apt to give cramp in the arch of the foot, or the calf of the leg. The children must proceed in Indian file, and their voices sink to a whisper at the end. M FbOWER VOICES. I ! fi^^^ 1 Wm.

The children must stand in a row, or rows, according to space at command. The hands must be waved to and fro with the palms uppermost, and the undulations of waves must be carefully imitated, and continued through the first three verses with these exceptions, — viz, the sixth line of the first verse, when they must point up at imaginary clouds, — the third line of the second verse, when they must imitate tossing, with both hands,— the fifth line of this verse, when they must beckon at the words " This way ;"— and the second and third lines of the third verse, when they must shield their eyes with their hands, as if looking over the surf at the "harbour lights." At the fourth verse they must scamper with well raised and bent knees, not in long, but high steps, for the first four lines ; suddenly stand still at the fifth, and point to the imaginary " dear ones," singing the words as rapidly as possible, till "rather" is reached, and that word must be spoken in quite a natural but very arch tone of voice. Then sing the first four lines of the song with sea-wave action, ending in " Wildly as can be," by way of a finale. I'lni 1 liiiMMaililMIMIIi 8() -I ''i;i,, ' THE GOLDEN BOAT-SONG.

The children must seat themselves on the floor as though in a boat, but with this difference, that the feet, instead of being close together and knees bent, as in actual rowing, must be wide apart, and legs straight on the floor, in form of the letter V, the distance between each child being no more than is necessary for the extension of arms out straight in front. The best and most skilful child will of course be " stroke," and the others should be placed according to size. T'le coxswain may be a very little one ; and if the small thing puts the others out by rowing out of time, it might be instructed to hold a tiny flag during the performance, and be allowed to sing only. To begin the song, the children will all be ready for the rowing action by bendi.ig forward with arms straightout, and thumbs touching ; backs of hands uppermost, and on a level with shoulders. The sweep of the arms brings the hands to the floor twice in every bar. When " See how we splash," is reached, the movement is altered, and instead of rowings the children simply pat the ground with the opr^n palm of each hand, as though splashing water. There should be no longer pause between the verses than the beats of each concluding bar. The last refrain " So we float," etc;, should go at increasing speed to the end. \M- 4 3 -.J 88 GOD MAKE MY LIFE A LITTLE LIGHT. . '! i. To my little Niece Sarah. 1. God make my 2. God make my 3.

It adds much to the pretty efTect of the latter if the children are taught to kiss their hands to the imaginary trees and stars which are above them, and from beneath which they are " going home." At the fifth line of the first verse they should half-close their eyes, hang their heads and sing sleepily. > : / At the second line of the second verse the disengaged hands must be raised in the attitude of listening ; at the eighth of the same verse, the imaginary glow-worms must be pointed at. The last verse must be sung very sleepily, more softly, and altogether slower than the others ; and the last " Good night ' with prolonged and concentrated energy. #. 48 THE GOOD SHErnEBD.
