THE DOMINION SONGBOOK, No. 10. By Vernon Griffiths (Whitcombe & Tombs). IX well-known songs ("The Bailiff’s Daughter," "The Bay of Biscay," "Heart of Oak," "John Peel," "The Miller of the Dee," and "There is a Tavern in the Town") are atranged to encourage the formation of large fourpart choirs in post-primary schools. The settings are done by one who well knows all the limitations of such choirs-the male voices sing the melody enly and the girls sing Dr. Griffiths’s spirited descant parts, The instructions to teachers are notable for their common sense, and should make good results possible if they are followed carefully.
