Show Music and Work. Sir Lawrence Gomme, London statistician statis-tician and archaeologist, regards music as an end to work. He related that at the beginning of his official career he used to add up huge columns of figures for statistical purposes by the simple process of doing the task to a Gregorian tune, and that he was always al-ways correct in his totals. The London Lon-don Chronicle says that there are probably not many brain workers of this order, but manual laborers have long shared the opinion of Adam Bede that "men's muscles move better when their souls are making merry music." |
