1. Why could not "feel" be left out? 2. Why not omit "science," and say "medical arts"? 3. Why not omit "angels" and "harps," and simply add "celestial" to "hymns"? 4. If the pupil does not know who "Hengler" is, should we not omit the name and insert instead "singing clown"? 5. Why should not "fare" be a better In. by sound with "gare" than "guard"? 6.
