Excerpt from Music in the Public Schools of North Carolina: A Tentative Course of Study, 1942 The past few years have been marked by increased public interest in music in North Carolina with corresponding support Of it in our schools. There is evidence of improved taste and appreciation of music among our people, both young and Old. TO make the most Of this trend in the thinking and efforts Of our people, we must expand our program Of music through the public schools. We are still in great need Of more and better music instruction in some Of our schools and, with this need in mind, a course Of study has been designed to Offer definite and practical aid to teachers in elementary and secondary schools. It is hoped that the contents of this bulletin will prove to be an effective guide to teachers in their efforts to help children succeed in the musical attainments best suited to their age and growth levels as they progress through our schools. The preparation Of this bulletin has been the responsibility Of Miss Hattie S. Parrott of the State Department Of Public Ih struction. Miss Parrott has called in the services Of a number Of music teachers and supervisors during the past three years, and as consultants and committee workers they have made excellent contributions to the curriculum studies in music. To each of these we Offer grateful acknowledgment for their cooperation and real service. Special acknowledgment is given to Miss Grace Van Dyke More and her associates at the Woman's College Of the University Of North Carolina for the splendid work they have done over a period of years in developing the very excellent course presented in this bulletin. We are greatly indebted to them for this fine professional service. It seems very fitting to mention here the names Of those who together with Miss More gave freely of their own time and effort: Miss Birdie Holloway of the School Of Music faculty at the Woman's College, Greensboro; Mr. Raymond Brietz, Director of Choral Music, Greensboro High School; Mrs. John 0. Wood, Instructor in Music, Raleigh City Schools; and Mrs. Adeline mccall, University of North Carolina. On behalf of the teachers of the State we wish to thank them.
