WESLEY HOWARD IS
HONOR GRADUATE;
COMMITTEE REPORTS

With the awarding Of a certificate
of honor at tho, Boston Conservatory
of Music, citizens of Richmond have
presented to the music world a real
musician.
Wesley Howard. according to let
tiers received here, has been given his
certificate of graduation from the con-
servatory and is one Of the honor stu
dents of the class.
Four years ago, on June 13, 1913,
there was graduated from the Rich
mond High school, a negro boy. who,
although he showed unmistakable
signs OF musical ability, was too poor
to continue his study
At that time the attention of the
Commercial club was attracted to
him and through its music committee
a special committee was appointed,
consisting of George Eggemeyer,
chairman, Lee B. Nusbaum and Miss
Alice Knollenberg, to raise funds that
young Howard might develop his tai
ent In one of the big music centers of
the country.
The committee, in carrying out the
plan, gave a benefit concert each
spring for the young musician and in
this way he was given suff1cient funds
TO carry him through school. Through
these concerts, the committee raised
81, 0e2.22 which, with $3.50 given by a
friend of the young musician, was
spent by the committee in giving
Howard the best that the country
can offer in a musical education.
During his stay at the conservatory
the young man has attracted the at
tention of a number OF Boston must
clans Of the institution and he is de.
clared to be one of the best negro
musicians that this country has pro
duced fer some time.
With the announcement that Yves
ley Howard had completed his course
the work of the Commercial club and
the citizens of Richmond is finished.
In his letter, written to the commit
tee, he says he is considering an offer
in the East.

This quaint dispatch reports further
that ''the result Of the volunteer re-
cruiting to date is a sorry one. Only
1000 men had volunteered for both
the xrny and navy up to April 1"
This unknown specialist on America
adds the explanation that ut must be
borne in mind that the great part OF
these volunteers come Of good middle
class families and from academic cir
cles,' intimating that the cream has
been already skinned.
