July 4.?In a no Able Independence Day address on "The South Henatlonallzed by Kducu- I tlon." at the summer school ot the South here. Dr. Charles W. Dabney, I now president ot the University ot | Cincinnati, but formerly president of tho University of Tennessee, said in part: "After fifty years of separation from the nation, tue Southern States have become rcnatlonallzod, an'd taken their places at the council table of the gov- ' ernment. That this actually has come to puss is made evident by a House of Representatives again controlled by Southern men, by the recent presence of Tennosseans In the Cabinet and by the appointment of a Chief Justice, who was 11 Confederate soldier. Onco before. In IS93-'97, we came near tak-j 1hg charge of the governruent, and fulled b cause, as 1 sincerely believe, our people were not sufficiently edu coted. and our leaders not sufficiently unselfish to deserve the tusk. "Referring to the attacks of Souin erit Democrats upon him, Mr. Cleve? land snid to nie in 1S98: "I believe the Southern people are loyal and gener? ous, yet their leaders truduce me, though 1 was the first to invite them back to their fathers' table.' Breaking with Mm. the South threw away a great opportunity to regain her posi? tion in the nation. "Tho South has passed from tile dls- I cussion of states' rights and eonsti lutlona] powers to the consideration of States' needs and States' duties. "Education and sanitation are now the chief subjects of consideration in our Legislatures, and the color Hue and 'bloody shirt' are forgotten." Tribute to Leaders. Dr. Dabney then reviewed the pres? ent education In the South, and P?id tribute to her educational loaders, to Robert E. Lee. not the commander-ln chlef, but ilu- college professor; not Curry, the secession orator nnd Con? gressman, but i^urry. the champion of the child, and Mclver, teacher, pure and simple "These," he snid, "1 claim are im mortfils, for they founded Institutions for the good of mankind throughout tho ages. Their doctrine that the Commonwealth should be devoted first of nil to the training of the child, has been the lesson of these fifty years past. "Much has been accomplished. Ten? nessee and Virginia have led the way In ennctlnc model school laws, and systems of taxation. "Urent advance lias been made in providing both State and county sup? port of the schocds. with the result that 1011 expenditures for education are more than three times BS much as they w'ere ten years ago; the value of Kchool property is three and n half times iis much, money expended on normal schools and other means of professional education Is more than three times as much, and the appro Berry's lor Clothes" Two-piece suits built with all the athletic effect and form re? taining shape that young men appreciate. j Coats of the thinnest fabrics?

Referring to the recent appointment I by President Taft of Dr. Philander P. I Claxton. head of the Smith's summet i school, as United States Commissioner j of Education, Dr. Dnhncy brought his : address to a dose, saying: "Thus, after half a century of com. ? plete or partial separation, the South i has, through public education, rcnu , tlohaliz'cd herself and prepared her people to undertake again their share ' of the nntion's work. The giving by : the South of its great educational i leader to the nation is the latest j recognition of its complete renutional | Izstion." -?
