r The SOuth'S Greatest Fallacy.-
n That cheap, unframed labor is the
burden of an address by Mr. Clarence
= II. Poe, at the recent session of the
/, Southern Educational Conference in
|. Memphis. Mr.. Poe declared that the
lSouth's greatest fallacy has been the
t belief that the farmer, the common
+" laborer of every sort, needs no train
= ing; educate him and you spoil him;
n the poorer you keep him, the richer
e will be the upper classes.
Ell "Hugging these vampire delu
lsions," he continued, 1.-The Southern
e plantation owner has seen his lan(
O abandoned to broomsage and gullies
u in spite of the fact that intelligent
l. handling would have kept it product
e i've thousand years. Preaching
= this fatal doctrine, the merchant ha:
v sold Western meat and scooters anl
n tobacco, when with prosperous pat
rons he might have quadrup1ed hi:
o profits by selling sulky plows ant
harvesters, and carriages, and pi
Ianos. Still arguing that education
b and training would spoil the com
It mon laborer, our manufacturer ha,
n struggled with small business wher
e a prosperous average man would give
= us the great industries of the NORTH
+ and West.
"Of all errors our greatest ha!
been the doctrine that having cheap
e Ignorant, unframed labor is a hell
IS instead of the curse that it is AND
= our second greatest error has beer
n the belief that even if education doe.
II help the common man, we are tot
l. poor to furnish it. The truth is We
= are too poor not to furnish it. The
: fullest and freest training of the
O average man is the one and only sub
l. stantial guarantee of Southern pros
+ Iperity."
