 Miss Rowley is greatly interested in the Boys Industrial School, and she desired in some way to contribute to it's main tenance. The thought of giving benefit concert naturally presented itself, and the happy suggestion was made that two scholarships to the Academy of Music be given as an additional incentive.
 She intends making the concert one of the leading musical events of the autumn. The programme will be varied and brilliant, and it is understood that foreign pianist of note will be heard on this occasion.
 In speaking recently of the Boys Indus trial School, Miss Rowley declared that that there was no institution that should inspire more generous support than this home for wayward and incorrigible boys.
 An ounce of preventive" she said, "is better than many pounds of cure, as far less expensive of both time and money. She dwelt upon the need of forming the char acter of seemingly incorrigible children, and of aiding them to become useful mem- bers of society, by giving them proper en- vironment necessary to the development Of character. She referred to the importance of training of mind and hand to useful, cre- ative occupat ton, instead of reversing the laws of nature and moral order, by matur- ing In vice and final criminality, of which society assumes the burden in the end.
 Miss Rowley's concert should be largely patronized. That she will personally con- duct it insures its success since her energy and her interest in everything that she un- dertakes is well known.
 As director of the Academy of Music she has been a conspicuous figure in musical circles, and in addition to her work she has the distinction of being the composer of a charming little opera that was pre- sented in Birmingham with marked sue cess. But to record the success of the young woman of today in her chosen pro- fession is no longer an unusual subect for the woman writer, but it remains one that is continued inspiration and should be prolific of her strongest advocacy, since the success of the woman of today is all the more notable by reason of the new fields of endeavor which they have entered.
 Miss Rowley has been one of the most successful of Alabama women, and her musical career has been extremely inter- esting. In this country she studied under Schaeffer and Hermann Anee of Germany, while in Dresden she had private lessons under Krantz, director of the Royal Con- servatory. With Schumale, in his younger days a concert virtuoso in Germany and Russia, Miss Rowley had class lessons. while she studied chorus work with Piet- rich, the director at the Royal Court Op- House.
 Miss Rowley has just issued attractive circulars announcing the opening of the autumn session of the Academy of Music. She will again have associated with her Madame Pastill-Everest, who will be in charge of the vocal department Madame Everest has studied under the best masters in this country and abroad. She is grad uate pupil of Barchesi, and she also stud jed under the famous Orgeni at the Royal Conservatory in Dresden.
 Madame Everest intends giving series of lectures the coming winter upon the art of singing, the hygiene of food and the proper clothing of the body, which ma terially enhance detract from the quail ity and condition of the voice.
 Professor Callman. formerly of Ham, burg. Germany, will be the violin in- structor
 In October Miss Rowley will open a branch school at Woodlawn. The pupils will be heard at the recitals during the winter that will take place at the Acad- emy of Music
