Robert Booth Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 More from 'Ol Bennie Rush: "I have said nothing in favor of instrumental music as a branch of female education because I concieve it by no means accomodated to the the present state of manners and society in America. From three to four hours in a day, for three or four years, appropriated to music are an immense deduction from that short period of time which is allowed for the aquisition of the useful branches of literature that have been mentioned. How many useful ideas might be picked up in those hours from philosophy, history, poetry and the numerous moral essays with which our language abounds, and how much more would knowledge of those subjects add to the consequence of a lady with her husband and with society than the best preformed pieces on a harpsichord or guitar!" So, Helen---PUT THE ACCORDION DOWN AND PICK UP THAT MORAL ESSAY, FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
