lected the views of a number of prac-
teal educators in the Southern States
on the negro question. All assert
that the taxpayers of the Southern
States are rapidly educating the negro,
and all believe that when the negro is
properly educated he will be a good
citizen. AS a rule. the negroes of the
Southern States are on good terms with
their white neighbors and sensible
enough to desire to remain so.
