Excerpt from The Song-Book of the School-Room: Consisting of a Great Variety of Songs, Hymns, and Scriptural Selections With Appropriate Music, Arranged to Be Sung in One, Two, or Three Parts Under the influence of such views, the editors have selected, with a jealous eye, from the materials they have had before them; and they now present this little volume to parents, teachers and pupils, believing that it is not only free from that which is low, inelegant and pernicious, but that the songs, while they are cheerful and pleasing, will be found to accord with the efforts of those who labor to make our children better and happier.
