Dr. Charles W. Dabaey, president of
the Ualmﬂty of Ténneasce, a xwan who
is prominently conueeted with the South-
om Educntional Assoelation, heartily
agrees with Dr. Roffeer in (hls viow, nnd
50 commnitted Wimselt ia an interview
publizshed in yesterday's Timos.

. Again, Dr. Roffaer and Dr. Dabney nro
both sgrecd that {he State wobld-maks

be most huriful to the enure of populir

bad thing for the black man. Dr. Dab-

adopted by the Virginia Convention ought
to be “above susplclon™ If ths Constle

Bim for the education of his chitdren only
