some modern schools have music rooms purposely designed for music instruction. These rooms are acoustically treated for singing and instrumental practice. Other new schools have small b o o t h s sound-conditioned private practice during school hours.

Largely because of this concrete evidence of the genuine desire these teachers had to improve the quality of music instruction in Prince street School, the Char- lottetown school Board and the Provincial Department of Educa- tion have aincp been persuaded to assume the cost of music instruc- tion in Prince Street as well as the other three public schools. 0 O O

Each auditorium-musie- room is equipped with a piano es the sole equipment. Neither the room nor the equipment can be considered satlslactory. Further- more, the great pressure for space in the Charlottetown Lools eliminates any hope of special- purposo music rooms being pro- vided.
one of the finest ways of teach- ing music appreelatlon is through the use of musical instruments. As of now, the Charlottetown public schools have no musical instru- ments. However. lnstrturienta can be rented if funds are not avail- able to purchase them. The com- munity seems to be much inter- ested in music. The Charlottetown music festival is expanding very rapidly and is making a great con- tribution to the development of musical appreciation and musical performances. It appears that many homes would be willing to purchase instruments for their children if the school program would help develop the children's skill in their use. In any case, a musical program should include ALL the children and not Just the few talented ones. As it is. many gifted children are missing the opportunity to express them- selves. l
Libraries
Elementary school children need to be encouraged to read a variety of books, magazines, and other materials in addition to their standard texts in regular academic classes. The children cannot do this unless the opportunity to do so is provided. They can learn, even at an early age, what a storehouse of knowledge a library is and what a fascinating place it can become. They can learn to do simple elementary research and should be encouraged to do so. Assignments properly made will motivate even third graders to seek information in such fascinating resource books as Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia and World Book. Teaching that requires this kind of pupil activ- ity Is far superior to the text-book- assignment. Question-and-answer type still too often found in to- days classrooms. To make this possible some sort of library must be a part of every elementary and higii school. The kind of facilities will depend on the size of the school building, and the grade levels accdmmodated.
In smaller schools. a simple library will suffice. The library may be only a reading corner in the individual classroom. In larger elementary buildings, a central library can be justified. In the high school. a central library is a necessity. The room should be large enough to accommodate from
