MUSICAL CENTER IN WASHINGTON Success of School Founded by Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall. FACULTY OF CAPABLE TUTORS The Washington Conservatory of Music, Ita Various Departments and How It Is Regarded by Persons of Note In the Profession—Donors of Scholarship. BY OLIVER RANDOLPH. Washington.—The Washington Conservatory of Music, which held its annual commencement on Friday evening, June 16, at the New Howard theater, is the most unique school of its kind in the world. It stands for a broad and thorough training in the arts for all people without regard to race or sex. The conservatory was founded Oct. 1, 1903, by Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, a graduate of Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and occupies a commodious building at 902 T street, N. W., in the center of one of the most refined and cultured residential sections of the national capital. It has registered 1,400 students, representing not only the city of Washington, but many states of the Union. Its faculty is composed of progressive teachers, many of whom have sup- M. MRS. HARRIET GIBBS MARSHALL, plemented their superior training in the best schools of art in America and by study abroad. During the more than seven years of its existence twenty-three diplomas have been presented to its graduates, and it has awarded thirty-six scholar- ships. H. T. Burleigh, Cole and Johnson, R. T. Washington, M. W. Gibbs, R. R. Church, R. C. Owens, Susie Smith, J. Gerald Tyler, Harper Fortune, Clarence Cameron White, A. L. Williams, Harriet Gibbs Marshall and M. C. James are among the donors of scholarships. They believe that the colored people themselves should contribute materially to the development of the higher arts. Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall is president of the board of managers of the conservatory, Professor George W. Cook treasurer, Miss Abby Williams secretary, Mr. Lewis G. Gregory financial secretary and Miss Annie E. Grinage president of committee of auxiliary clubs. The work has been much strengthened by the forming of auxiliary clubs. Among the presidents and officers are Even the most pronounced jingoese about decided that a war now between Japan and this country can be dispensed with. HALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE MARTINSBURG, THE STATE OF NEW YORK CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC Mines. Fearing, J. W. Cromwell, S. A. Fountain, G. W. Caldness, W. L. Turner and C. A. Grimshaw and Misses A. Grimage and M. Young. There are departments in piano, voice and violin, piano tuning, theory analysis, harmony counterpoint, fugue, vocal expression, wind instruments, history of music and methods. The free advantages include lectures on art, elementary harmony, musical history, pupil recitals, teachers' recitals, analysis, orchestral practice, reading room, ensemble playing, chamber music, choral classes, sight singing and choral work. The brilliant graduates in planoforte instructed by Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Mar- shall are sufficient testimony to her ability as a teacher of experience and method. She also conducts classes in harmony, counterpoint, history and analysis and pipe organ. Miss Abby L. Williams, a gifted and talented pianist, has been with the school since its foundation, and much of its present success is due to her tireless devotion to the work both as secretary and teacher. Mr. Harper S. Fortune of Boston has charge of the department of string and wind instruments and the new and much needed department of piano tuning. As he is an expert piano tuner the management is fortunate in securing his services. Mr. Henry Lee Grant, a graduate of the artist course of this institution, has just finished a most successful year in this school as teacher of harmony and piano. He has studied theory in the music department of the New York university under Thomas Tapper and chorus training and public music under Horas Dann and was at one time a pupil INTERIOR OF ONE OF THE STUDIOS. of Frank B. Gebest of this city. Mr. Grant is a wide awake, progressive teacher and an intelligent performer. Advantages of School of Expression. Advantages of School of Expression. It is believed by the management of the conservatory that the school of expression is the only one of the kind in the south which is open without regard to race or sex. It has been felt that the little or no instruction in elocation which is to be had at any of our leading institutions falls far short of meeting either the needs or the talents of the people. Here opportunity is afforded to form a good style in reading and speaking as well as to prepare for teaching, platform and pulpit work. This department is under the able direction of Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, a graduate of the Emerson School of Oratory, Boston, and a teacher of experience. Mrs. Marshall, the very able president of the institution, said recently that the institution must be endowed to meet its growing needs and to accomplish its possibilities. Prominent people throughout the country are deeply interested in this institution, and among these are Hon. Henry B. F. Macfarland and Hon. Henry L. West, former commissioners of the District of Columbia; President H. C. King of Oberlin college; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols, secretary of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People; Professor Albert Bushnel Hart, professor of history in Harvard university; Miss Eleanor Smith of the Michigan Conservatory of Music, Mrs. Marie R. Hofer of Columbia University Teachers' college, Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, and C. W. Morrison, director of Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Testimonials by Prominent Persons. Henry B. F. Macfarland, commissioner of the District of Columbia: The Washington Conservatory of Music, in incorporated body, organized and managed by some of the best colored citizens of the District of Columbia, is doing good work. Its financial affairs seem to be administered in a businesslike manner. Its treasurer, George W. Cook, in personally known to me as a man of business efficiency as well as strict integrity. The institution has passed the experimental period and with enlarged means will render important service. Henry L. West, commissioner of the District of Columbia: It gives me great pleasure to bring to your attention the Washington Conservatory of Music of this city. I am personally acquainted with many of its officers and know that the representations which they may make can be relied upon. It has displayed excellent management and produced effective results. In brief, it is a deserving institution and ought to be materially assisted. H. C. King, president of Oberlin college, Ohio; I am glad to say that I should expect Mrs. Harriet Olbia Marshall, who is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Musica, to develop intelligently and conscientiously a school of music of excellent standard. I am sure that she would take paina to associate with her those who are thoroughly competent to do the work for which they are engaged. W. E. B. Dubols of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People; I am greatly interested in your school and believe it will be a great factor in the development of our race. Albert Bushnell Hart, professor of history, Harvard university: The Washington Conservatory of Music ought to have the support of the friends of the Negro. The plan strikes me favorably as a necessary adjunct and an enlargement of strictly literary institutions on one side and technical schools on the other. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee: I admire the work which you are doing, and I am quite sure it will serve a high and useful purpose in the elevation of our race. C. W. Morrison, director of Oberlin Conservatory of Music: I have known personally of the splendid training some musical pupils have received in that school. I am glad to give this personal indorsement of Miss Gibbs and her scheme of work and believe that any further enlargement that she may have the fortune to secure will be very efficient in promoting the cause of culture among the colored people. At the commencement exercises held last Friday night the graduates were supported by the Philadelphia concert orchestra. SHOULD THE COLORED MEM BERS OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH LEAVE THE CHURCH? Should the colored members of the Methodist Episcopal Church leave the church? Our answer to this question is no. We have two records of colored mothodism; the A. M. E, Z and the A, M. E. who went out about a century ago, and the record of themselves who remained in the M. E. Church. By this record we must decide. Those colored members who went out and organized distinctive colored churches are now accused of being guilty of organically setting up "jim-crowism and race segregation" in high places in spiritual things, in the Christian church, from which it has spread and has become incorporated, organized and legalized in all things spiritual and temporal, until now when we make protest against "jim- crowism" we are told that you colored people started it. Movements that are good are helpful to mankind in general and not to a few in particular. We are opposed to class legislation, and we as a race do not want to be guilty of that, if other people are. We suffer from that now in traveling the public highways, in our school system, in policies. Their coming out did not beget any new thing. They simply became imitators. They are out of the M. E. Church in organization, but in substance they are still in her. They are mere copyists. They are still in the white man's church. They have developed nothing new. They have not even demonstrated the capacity of the race for self-government because of their environment. Had they gone to the land of "Nod" and not set up business for themselves they could have demonstrated the race "capacity or incapacity for self-government. They went outside to secure what they wanted to secure on the inside, the equality of christians in religious things. We may not secure it on the inside. Would it have been wise for the abolitionists to have left the country to have fought slavery? They knew better than that. They remained on the inside and sought it, and fought it to death. They set up a race church, which is not an ideal christian church, which has surely tended to their use race antagonism. Sectarianism is productive of strife among the same people, even. How much more than, must race churches be productive of strife among different races. They stand in the community as monuments to strife and prejudice. We have an object in view. That object is to secure a christian's right in the church where we are. The "bishopric" and other offices are incidental to this principle. On this principle we have stood and do stand, even if we receive the snubs of white brethren and the vituperation of black brethren. Here we stand more nearly than our brothers of black or white demonstrating the spirit of the Master. We have 300 000 colored members. The A. M. E. Z. and the A. M. E. combined have about 1,400,000 colored members. In a General Conference of about 800 delegates we have about 90 colored members. Suppose this other one and a half million Negroes had their delegates at home with us, the talk would be the other way. Instead of inviting us out, we feel like inviting you home to help us fight the battle of the race and of God. The church is a constitutional and religious body. We are not there because of sociability, but because we are constitutional members and do not propose to throw away our membership, nor have it taken away from us except by law. We are sorry these other colored members sold out so cheaply. Do not invite us out, but encourage us to stay and secure our rights to the utmost degree. Yours respectfully, S. H. Norwood.

NO.15 Anecdotal Literature E. W. Q. CYRUS. E. W. G. Cyrus. Cyrus, when quite a youth, at the court of his grandfather Astyages, undertook one day to perform the office of cup-bearer. He delivered the cup very gracefully, but omitted the usual custom of first tasting it himself. The king reminded of it, supposing he had forgotten the practice. "No Sir," replied Cyrus, "but I was afraid there might be poison in it; for I have observed that the lords of your court, after drinking, become noisy, quarrelsome, and frantio, and that even you, air, seem to forget that you are king." "Does not the same thing," asked Astyagee, "happen to your father?" "Never," answered Cyrus. "How so?" asked his grandfather. "Why," said Cyrus, "when he has taken what he sees proper, he is no longer thirsty—that is all." RELIGION AND POLITICS. David H. Lane, Republican leader of Philadelphia told the following story at a Republican banquet. There was a preacher out West who mixed politics and religion to his cost. He prayed on the eve of a general election: "Grant, O Lord that the great Reform party may all hang together." "Amen!" cried a coffer. "Not, O Lord," resumed the preacher, "in the sense in which that profane coffer would have it understood; but let the party hang together in accord and concord. "I: 'aall one to me" the soofer again interrupted, what "cord it is, so long as it's a good strong one." IDEAL INSANITY. Suitor—Sir, I wish to marry your daughter. Father—Take my advice, boy—don't. Suitor—But why? Father—I've just found signs of insanity in her. Suitor—Heavens! what makes you suspect it? Father—She says she wants to marry you. ORATOR ON ORATORY. William Jennings Bryan, pacing the promenade deck of the Celtic, talked of oratory. An orator is only great," he said "when he has a great subject. The foundation of oratory is truth. Truth will always prevail in the end. I once heard a true orator get a hissing; but he smiled and said: "When a stream of truth is poured on red hot prejudices, it is no wonder they hiss." "And then," said Mr. Bryan, "the hissing turned to hearty applause." It is said that Billy Sunday, the noted evangelist and baseball player, received $25,000 for sixteen weeks' evangelist to work. In view of the above, wouldn't it be appropriate for Congress to investigate him? i i i E : zi - ee hy Serene Ree ie ; eat seta relies ts rales MIME Slice Mire gilt “Liment ie sees steer el se antieeeads bi fi livre ope peace) Nasa ae aul ca ee PAE CE une ee uM AN ce Eee Nea i Nts i areal po carte erage " be aes ac stares) | etnapet tees.
