Songs We Like to SingPublished 1912 Believing that there is a demand for a well balanced collection of familiar songs for assembly use--one designed primarily to give pleasure and inspiration rather than to teach music--this book has been compiled. The fundamental idea underlying it has been to include only those songs which experience has shown that boys and gils of the North, South, East and West like to sing. Thus it avoids the defect common to many song collections, which contain a larg amount of material that no one enjoys singing. It is confidently believed that there is no song in the book that cannot be sung and enjoyed in the average school. Before compiling the collection the publishers obtained from many teachers in different states lists of the songs that appeared on the greatest number of individual lists. This selection was again submitted for criticism and suggestions to many different teachers and supervisors; the collection represents, therefore, the judgment and experience of many. For valuable assistance and suggestions the publishers desire to express their thanks to the following teachers, to whose coöperation they feel will be due a large share of whatever success the book may obtain: Professor William A. White, Northwestern University; Winifred Shumway, Houston, Tex; Herbert Griggs, New York City; Gracelynn Glidden, State Normal School, Sand Diego, Cal.; Eugenia H. Golding, Tampa, Fla; Mattie D. Embree, Meridian, Miss.; Eva Dungan, University of Oklahoma; George kimbrill, Bisbee, Ariz.p; Lula Griesenbeck, San Antonio, Tex; Verna B. Van Wormer, State Normal School, Ada, Okla.; Jessie Mae Agnew, Shreveport, La.; A. Mae Bacon, Oklahoma City, Okla.; H. D. Wilson, Louisiana Industrial Institute, Ruston, La.; M.
