I wish everybody in Birmingham knew
Prof. j. M. Henley. the capable and eff
cient bandmaster of the Alabama Boys
Industrial school band-and his influence
with the boys in the school and his devo-
tion to them.
It's story all to itself and would cover
pages-how he loves those boys and how
he digs" down into his own pocket and
takes the money to buy the music for
those little fellows to play; how he fur
nishes the capital and chooses by "popu-
lar vote three or four of the youngsters
in the band to attend the music festival,
and then takes them around to the best
restaurant in Birmingham and gives them
all they want for a nice, fine supper;
how he never comes to town and goes
back to the school empty-handed, but
always with loads of goodies and
maybe a half dozen neckties, letting the
boys draw for them, like you do at
a church fair" how he gives every mo-
ment of his life and time to training
these youngsters, being "one of the boys"
as 1t were, and exerting the sweetest in
fluence over them imaginable.
So much for Prof. Henley.
In return the boys repay his kindness
by the most beautiful devotion to him;
to his will or word for anything In the
world; they respond to his government,
which is entirely by love on his part In
the most satisfactory way. and he never
has to speak to any one of them but
once!
All of which brings us up to what I
want to tell you about why everybody in
Birmingham ought to attend the benefit
concert by the Alabama Boys Industrial
81 4
the fair grounds on the sixth and seventh
Of June.
I had asked Prof Henley to tell me
something about this plan for raising
funds to buy uniforms for the boys and
how 1t happened that the combination
was made with the track meet for this
purpose.
THE Alabama Boys Industrial school,"
said Prof. Henley, was really in a guam
dary as to how the money could be
raised to buy the new uniforms so badly
needed for the boys. 1t was suggested
that the public might help us in buying
the uniforms. but when such a PROPOSE
ton was made to the board 1t was turned
down Immediately. There might come
time when such an appeal might be
necessary in order to feed the boys and
take care Of them, but at the present
time 1t was not compulsory to come be-
fore the public asking them to help us.
Birmingham had been begged to death,
we said. and so we will not come before
the people in that capacity 1t was then
suggested that band concert might be
given, but that interfered with the mu
sicians of the city who earn their daily
bread by their talent, and so that propo-
sition seemed irrelevant. Finally we asked
an. advisory board to consult with us, con-
sisting of Solon Jacobs, DR.. ]. e. Ded-
man and Colman Blach. who were In
valuable in their kindness and generos-
ity in assisting us. Through these gentle
men It was purposed that We unite with
the athletic club In the annual track meet
and give our concerts on the days this
entertainment is in session. We appeared
before the Musicians union and ascer-
tanned just how they felt about the prop
osition and II in any way we would be
Interfering with them. and to our delight
