Successful Meeting of the South ern Educational Association. President George T. Winston, of the A. and M. College. returned this morning from Richmond, where he has been, in attendance on the meet ing of the Southern Educational Asso ciation. He .says the chief topics dis cussed were those relating to indus trial education,, and 'Hie main -topic was the education of the. negro in the South.

Dr. Paul Barriuger. presi dent of the University of Yirginlu, read a renisn knble paper on the edu cation of the negro, in which he con tended that the negro should be in structed in the lower brunj-'iMis of la bor, and confined to the lowest possi ble wage, holding that the negro could beat the world in the cruder forms of liibov, and that win his propyl' tiel.i.
