7. As regards the form of instruction to be given in
Music, Art and Craft, we make the following recommendations:
Music. Singing should preferably be English and with
English tunes. We would not however disallow Chinese singing
where this is preferred and can be competently done. In addition
we think that the teaching of music with the aid of piano and
gramophone should aim at fostering musical appreciation of the
works of the great masters. Every school should have a piano
and a gramophone for this purpose.
Art.
There is no need to insist on uniformity; both
Chinese and English drawing should be encouraged according to
the capabilities of the available staff. In addition we think
that the teaching should aim with the aid of pictures at
fostering appreciation of the works of great masters.
Handwork. In girls' schools Needlework, Knitting, or
Embroidery should be the chief form of this subject to be
taught.
In boys' schools, the lower classes should attempt
modelling, paper and cardboard work, book-production, leather
work, etc. For the higher classes a definite cafft such as
woodwork is desirable, but for this trained staff, special
accommodation and equipment are necessary. Until these are
available, hobbies should be encouraged and as wide a choice as
possible allowed.
