Abstract
My purpose in writing this thesis is to give a brief history of the development of Public School Music from the beginning of the Eighteenth Century to the present system, and to make a special study of the High School Music of today - a study of the ideals and purposes motivating the teaching of music in the High School as also the methods of approach; to show that the hope of future America is dependent on Public School Music for that greatest of gifts, good citizens, and how that hope is to be realized through the development of a worthy use of leisure, brought about by instilling into the hearts of all American boys and girls and appreciation of good music and all true art, and through the development of character resulting from the training of the mind and the social tendencies of the child.
