Afro-Americans, admirers of high
class music, fSom cities and towns
contiguous to Greensboro attended the
oratorio, which was the musical treat
Of the season among our people in
Greensboro and vicinity.
Since going to the Greensboro sec
ton OF North Carolina Professor
Stewart has caused greater appre-
citation Of classical music on the part
Of the race than ever before. He is
a potent force in the intellectual life
Of the community. He is native of
Detroit, Mich, but received most of
his musical and literary training in
Illinois.
Upon finding that nature had endow-
ed him to the extent that man was to
be inspired by his voice he entered
the Illinois Conservatory OF Music, in
which institution he received every Ell
couragement. r."
Professor Stewart afterward enter
ed the Conservatory of Music In Chi
cago, from which he graduated with
special honors. Sir DR.. Wooten Of
Leipzig, Germany, while In the United
States became interested In Professor
Stewart, and for number Of months
the professor took lessons from this
noted musician in piano, theory and
vocal culture, the same subjects he
had at his alma mater.
Having deep interest in Scrlptural
research work, Professor Stewart took
special. theological training in Payne
seminary and at Wilberforce univer-
sity. After being private teacher Of
music in Illinois for some time, he &C.
cepted a position as professor Of mu
sic in Wilberforce university.
He taught at Wilberforce for four
years and succeeded in bringing the
music department Of the university up
to high standard.
President Dudley of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college, Of which Pro:
fessor Stewart Is the head of the mu-
sic department, says he Is man OF
unusual ability and this fact is being
demonstrated in his work.
Several piano and vocal compositions
have been written by this young mu-
stefan which have been favorably re-
ceived by music lovers in various Sec
tons Of the country. AS musical d.
rector he has had widening success.
But his strong fort is that Of a concert
pianist and director. AS bassoist he
has few equals and his superior is yet
to be found.

Farm EMPLOYMENT for Criminals.


Gov. Harris of Ohio believes thai
criminals can he employed on farm
with advantage to themselves and the
state. He proposes that prisoners IN
the peniteptiary who are not CON

reformatory and put to work on the
state farm. 1T is the conditions OF
our cities that breed crime says the
governor. Most of 1t can ne traced
to idleness and drink, and idleness Is
frequently the cause of drink. Thefe
is little drink in the country and p:ac-

who had slipped over the bounds OF a

would come to like it and escape the
