has yet to finish as circuit attorney of
this city. He has a few Doodle cases

Mr.. Washington gave statistics
showing the results of negro educa-

but in other schools and colleges of
the south for negro youths. He said
that the statement often heard that,

mind and skill of hand the young
negro acquires, his education retards
his moral growth, is incorrect, and
quoted statistics to show that not one
person who holds a diploma from any
chartered educational institution in
Alabama can be found in any prison
in the south.
