We take it as fortunate not only
for Raleigh but for all North Carolina
that Professor Edwin L. Moses has been
persuaded to accept the superintendency
of the Public Schools of Raleigh town
ship. which he held for ten years, greatly
to the blessing of Raleigh. Prof. Moses
is a master educator. not only accom-
pliShed but gifted with the power Of inn
parting his zeal to his teachers. We
doubt il he has superior in Graded
School work. There are many who also
remember the great service Bro. Moses
rendered as teacher and superintendent
of the library in the Raleigh Tabernacle,

nevolent character. SO his return may
