preciated by friends of Elon College
as well as by Prof. Moffitt himself.
Being a Randolph boy the Courier

augurated president of Elon College.
Mr. Moffitt has barely past his
thirty-seventh year, but they have
been years well spent, and as he
enters upon his new duties it almost
6eeni3 that there had been a design
in nature that this man should have
had the experiences that have come
to him, in order that he might be
fitted for the great work which lies
at his hand.
He was born at Mofl'itt, Randolph
county, North Carolina on the
seventeenth day "f January, 1J9,
his father being E. A. Moflitt, who
won distinction as an ollieer in the
Confederate army, who was for
years a prominent oflicial in state
and natioual government, his lif? be
iflg such that he was a m s', inllu

Oh, yec, I am a Southern girl,

And pearls lieatud her hair.

For the sunny South so dear;
Three cheers for the homespun dress .

With goods that are Southern made.

NEW ORLEANS' GREAT NIGHT-SCHOOL.
It Hut TntiKht Thousands of Men ami
Ifo.vt.aud 1 the Work of 0"
t'rlppled Woinau.
John L. Matthews writes us fol
lows, in the July Everybody's of
Miss Sophie Wright's famous night
school in New Orleans:
"And all through Xew Oi leans,
wherever apprentices foregathered,
there was talk of the wonderlul
school at Miss Sophie's. AVhen the
wh sties blew at night the process
ion headed toward her house from
every direction, hundreds Coining
from workshop to class-room with
out delavmg for supper. Men and
boy a walked five or six miles to t
tend: from the edge of St. Bernard
parish and the plains of Chaluiettt,
from the upper edge of Gretna,
from Southpoit aud the limits of
Carrol Hon, '.hey came ou foot ar.d
went on foot, in orderly good be
havior for the honor of Miss
Soph e's school. And in the class
rooms one might see a Frenchman
who read English explaining calcul
us to an Italian just an i red who
understood Frencli and was to
eaeer to allow his mathematics to
wait pp:u his English. One might
see a whole class .of refugees, Huj
sian Jews, sitting in an outof-the
war comer, grown men every one of
them, learning their A B C's and
the elements of notation from a
voting rabbi. There is alwavs
somuthing peculiarly apt about the
night-school pupil, even though he
may be so old aa to make learning
for him heavy husiness. In the
day-school are light-hearted, .im
practical boys whose lives out of
the class room are largely rilled with
ganus. But in the night-school
are boys and men who are engaged
in practical things, who ate all day
part of the busy, purposeful, pro
ductive life of the city. The prob
lems in mathematics, attaching
themselves to realities with which
they ar daily associated, s have
meaning for them; more than that,
these pupils come to the night
school with the conscious purpose
of learning, and they direct their
energies to it with a will which
even the weariness of a day's work
cannot deaden."

It is related that at one time Pres
ident Lincoln was conversing with
an aristocratic American lady about
the United States, when she re
marked: "I love my country, of
course, but am much grieved that
there are so many common people in
it." He replied: "But, madam,
think how God must hav loved
them, He made so many of them."
A soldier at whose house when a
boy Lincoln paused in his tramps in
Illinois, and who loaned him a whet
stone to sharpen his jacknife, met
him during the war, iu Washington.
Lincoln remembered the incident
and spoke of the use of the whetstone.
Ya-a-s," drawled out the old
soldier. "Whatever did you do with
the wnetstone? I never could find
We 'lowed mebbe vou took it
along with you." "No no. I put
it on top of the gatepost that high
one." Mebbe you did; nobody else
could have reached it, and none of
us ever thought to look there for it."

placed fifteen yeais before. The
soldier reported the fact to the pres
iilent. Boston i'ost.
