" 0 Come All Ye Faithful” is believed to be one of the old Latin carols
that were danced as well as sung. We know that many carols were
danced. This kept them from being approved by the _cbu'c"cl\ for cen
turies. The word “corol” comes from the Latin “carolaire,” @ medieval
ring dance accompanied by singing.
Pre-Child Study
Group Heard
Talk By Mr. Beech
{ The Christmas meeting of the
| Pre-school Child Study Group was
held Wednesday evening, Dec
ember 12, at the home of Mrs.
Horace Lund on Beechcreek Road
with Mrs. W. C. Birchmore serving
as co-hostess. As the guests ar
rived they were served attractive
refreshments carrying out the
Christmas motif.
| Following this social period Mrs.
| Spencer Morrison, program chair
| man for evening, presented Earl
Beech of the University of Geor
gia Music Department who spoke
on Musical Talent in the Pre
school Child. Mr. Beech believes
| that the first “coo’” of the very
| young baby is evidence of its in=
iherent musical ability. The de
velopment from this “coo” into
more advanced forms of musical
expression is natural with " all
children and may be encouraged
| by the creation of an atmosphere
lof better music in the child’s en~
vironment, This contributes to the
'emotional development of the
Ichild and should be considered
| equally as important as his mental
| and physical growth. Mr. Beech
lwarned, however, that an over=-
[zealous parent who requires a
rigoroius musical education for her
‘ child simply because she considers
it proper, fashionable or cultured
lis a much of a deterrent to that
' child as the parent who completely
lignores the musical training of her
| child.
Mr. Beech very generously an
swered the many questions club
members were eager to ask at the
conclusion of his talk. A brief busi
ness session followed after which
the meeting v:as*adlourned.

Singing commercials, as well as
“talk,” are eliminated automati
cally from radio programs by a
new device. Its advantage over
older devices is its ability to dis
tinguish between singing commer
cials, whose words are very clear
ly sung, and opera, whose words
often are far less clear.
