We use January usually as a Thrift Month also, in which every one is given an opportunity to make some sug- gestion for the better carrying on of the work of the Orphan- age, with an idea of saving both labor and money.

We usually spend two weeks grumbling about it and tour weeks making out the ac- tual report, and it takes pretty well the combined activity of those in the Manager's Office, the case worker and at least two other people on the place to get this thing done accurately. This year we are eliminating the two week’s grumbling as we find that that does no good and will devote the entire month of Jan- uary to getting out this particu- lar report. The physical examination of ithe children will be put off until February and we fear that quite a number of the acknowledge- ments for gifts will just not take place at all.

From whence the source of this glad ray And drives our care so far away That points us all to Christmas day And fills our lives with cheer? It all harks back to one glad morn Long, long ago when Christ was born To save a world sé long forlorn, Dispelling all its sadness. And so it is that yuletide stills Our restless lives and always fills Our hearts and homes with Christmas thrills And peace and joy and gladness. What means this Christmas day to you? Does your life echo ever true To Him whose life and coming too We celebrate today? So many “Little ones” we find Where fortune’s sun has never shined Nor has a ray of hope Divine E’er shown upon their way. So many hearts some burdens bear, So many weighted down with care, You find some one with whom to share Your joyous Christmas glee. So let your life His Gospel spread And on this day some gladness shed, All in the name of Him who said, “Ye do it unto Me.” BARIUM Mumps, Mud, Methodists. The Wind-up of the Football Season We had hoped to get the writeup of our final games in the December Mes- senger, but as it turned out, we are rather glad the Messenger went to press before this game took place. We have to let December the second soak for about thirty days before we can get the proper prospectus. Not that we were not properly soaked on that day, but there are just some things about that game that day that makes us enjoy it more the further off we are from it. For three years now, we have been playing a game on the Saturday that | leomes nine days after Thanksgiving. | | Each year we have had the most} beautiful weather and a most onthind siastic crowd of rooters. We thought | history was going to repeat itself | this year, and that our financial wor- | ries as far as the Athletic Association | is concerned, would be taken care of on that day; that we would get some snappy photographs of the two teams im action and that above all, we would have the Orphanage Championship. We had arrangements for enough heavy material in the way of officials We had accommodations to take care of enough spectators to have paid us co have handled a Yale-Harvard game. way out of debt and to have handled all of the expenses of this game. We nad enough coco-cola and peanuts to nave satisfied also this big crowd of spectators during and between the} nalves. Wz. ‘silled a couple of extra | nogs to take care of our guests’ ap- petites and of our own. We had enough sweet potatoes cooked up for che boys to break training on for six months at a time and then it rained! and what I mean, it rained! It started vefore mid-night on Thursday night and kept at it harder and wetter un- cil time for the game to start on Fri- day afternoon. The officials were there even to the extra ones to keep} the crowd back, but there wasn’t any | crowd to keep back. We had our big! friend, Rey. Eugene Alexander, to! ceferee; we had Jack Caldwell, the | very efficient famous Charlotte coach | gow Umpires we bad [rex ‘Tsén, zt Davidson Line Coach for head lines- man; we had Monk Mattox, Davidson freshman Coach, timekeeper; We h- | Fats Laws, Assistant linesman and a lot of spares like Dick Grey, and | Peterson in case some of the others | had a puncture. We won't go into | horrible details of the game except to| say that Barium ran away with the | Raleigh Orphanage in the first half,! three times bringing the ball to within | scoring distance. The last time it zeemed destined to be a certain touch- down, but was stopped on account. of the half being up on the four yard line. The second half resulted in a score of 6to 0 for Raleigh. The total gate receipts were $3.00. Several of our boys looked as if they had been through a meat chopper, and when we finaly settled down to supper and read the Scoreboard which is a little paper that we get out as an Extra giving a full account of the games played here, it was voted by pretty nearl; everybody that it was not the end of a perfect day. But for the fact that another year is just around the corner, we woulc have been inclined to have felt gloomy. In ‘the whole performance that day, there was one bright ray of sunshine--not from the sky, but from the sidelines--and that was the blan- kets that our beys wore out to the field. They didn’t keep them on long. Everybody got an eye fuli. They are regulation size, black Athletic blan- kets with gold borders and gold “B.” Something we have needed ever since we have been playing football and basketball, and something that we thought we could never afford to buy ourselves. In other words, it was something that we just wanted like wanting to go to Heaven, without there being any immediate prospects of realizing our wishes. A good friend of ours over in Greensboro named Bill Preyer must have had a dream, because one day he asked our manager if there wasn’t something that our football crowd needed that they couldn’t supply themselves. Of course, he knew about these blankets in two seconds after he had asked that question, and these beauti- (W. L. HOOD, Derita, N. C. ful blankets are th result of Mr. MESSE ——_— Preyer’s generosity and thoughtful- ness. You know our boys can just natur- ally play better after having one of those blankets around them and know- ing that they will have that to wrap up in on the way home or while the: are still out in the open. Speaking of the brand of football our boys play, anyway. We have heard so many good comments on, not only | the good football they put out . but their sportsmaslike conduct that —w« are almost tempted to get out a special issue of the Messenger and just fill it up with these comments. But for the fact that the team might just get a little bit snooty and have the big-head, we might do this. They are not inclin ed tu be that way, but the nice things that have been said about them would just be too much for them te get all one dose. We are proud of our team, and we are delighted with everything | that is done for their comfort and does them honor. What about the Mumps” Well, all the time we were needing them so badly, two of our very best were parked at | the Infirmary with mumps. Jack Mac- | Kay, Quarterback, and Robt. Wilkes, | our only big boy, were the ones, and Jack McKay, Quarterback Robt. Wilkes, Tackle they felt mean enough about it to sack | alemon. Too bad, maybe they ought to have been were little and being de-measled. P. O. H.— BS BCECROSOIOEO CRIT ALEXANDER and DAIRY PESOS CHOIR ROR RRO We foiks are a little late this month but the 7 us. We sure had a good dinner that day. But you see time changes things on certain days and this was a happening in our football games with Belmont Abbey and Raleigh. Because we had Raleigh and Belmont both licked during the first half of the games, but we lost just the same. During the football season we had the date of each football game marked on the calendar. There aren't any football games in December, at least not after the tenth, but we have a day marked along toward the last of the month. It is Dec. 24 the day when get our Christmas “things.” Last Sunday (Dec. 4) we woke up to find snow on the ground. Of course, we had a good time sliding on it, but it soon melted and the ground was all muddy and the “house-cats” had to start to shoveling the snow off the floor. The boys have started to setting rabbit hellows now and Jap Oliver had the luck of getting one rabbit. Everybody has been saving up mon- ey to buy the pupils in their school room a present. Each one drawed names to give presents to one another. We will be glad when we get for the Christmas holidays for we are al- lowed to go to town and to have fire- crackers, A new boy came to stay with us Wednesday and we hope he likes to stay up here His name is James Campbell and he is as funny as they make them. Now that football is over the girls will start up basketball and we are rooting for them to get the State Or- phanage Championship.

You are bad off if you do. We are sorry in a way that Christ- mas is coming because that means that our student matrons have to leave us and we hate so bad to see them go. We have Miss Austin at our cot- ‘tage and we feel like that we could- n't do without her as she is so funny and is always telling jokes. There was a recital last week in | Miss Greene’s studio. We had three lof our little girls to play and they |did fine. We could’ hear them from the porch. | How did everyone enjoy the snow jof December 4th?

It is just fifteen days until we have our Christmas tree which jwill be Friday night before Christ- jmas. We are going to have it then so we can have all day Saturday to piay with our things. So many of the girls are looking forward to a visit from their people during the holidays. We are glad to see so many of the old children here at Christmas. Lillian Wicker was talking about her mother working and she said her mother was step-supervisor over the women where she was working — (meaning supervisor.) Margaret Pittman enjoyed a visit from her mother Thanksgiving. Two of our girls have been at the Infirmary, but are well again, we are glad to say.

My! but we are going to be some happy boys old Santa arrives at Synods. We are afraid he will be worn out after he has deliver and satisfied all the wants of fcrty little boys. But he should worry, he will have twelve long mos. to rest up in afterwards. We each got a new wool cap of many colors the other day. But the day after we got them it suddenly turned warm. Don’t you worry be- cause we wore them just the same, cause we don’t get a new wool cap every day. Some of the boys were so fond of theirs they wanted to sleep with them on. Well, goodbye until after Christmas. We will tell you the rest then. Tnow, teaching them to us, llike to sing for the good friends who }come to see us and send so many nice | things to us not only for Christmas jand Thanksgiving but all the time. —— CERRO HOORAY BABY COTTAGE SOROEORORO ROR AICO OR CHO We are all singing Christmas songs our matron and the girls are for we always We are all getting over the whoop- ‘ing cough, at last it is not so bad now, and are expecting Catherine home soon. We will be so glad when we all the sick ones back again. For weeks it looked as though we had a hespital here, so many had the whooping cough who didn’t go to the Infirmary. Polly Garrett came home from the Infirmary a few days ago jand is looking real well and pretty a- gain. She and Ernestine want to write to their mother but they haven't her Greensboro address. She paid us a recent visit and several of the babies called her “mama” she is so pretty and sweet that all are glad to have her come. Oh! How very, very sorry we are to see “Our Wootie” (Mrs. Wooten) leave Barium, Jack and Tom say she has gone to “Tucky”, but we now hear that she went to Alabama. We hope some boys and girls will have her with them, for she is mighty good to little folks. On Thanksgiving Mr. and Mrs. Alexander of Salisbury came to the Baby Cottage and brought us two boxes of lovely home made candy and my, but we made it fly. Some other kind folks sent us fruit and we had good things for a long time. Lillian Sanders is a great little singer she and Evelyn Coppage are our youngest babies. Jack and Tom are getting to be such big boys and are so smart. We cant begin to tell all the smart things they say and do. They are beginning to learn lots of Mother Goose rhyms now. We are all so glad to have Miss Bessie Mcore one of the new matrons with us. She is filling the place of Miss Una Moore who is staying at the Infirmary. We are wishing you a Merry Christ- mas and a Happy New Year. —P. 0. H— * * 4 * * o * * * % * THOSE BLANKETS Our team has had a gift, it’s * first one, but boy! it is a dandy * one.

It surely hac been made for Jim and no one else. There was no other like it in any oj the stores, and she had turned all of them inside out. It was a platinum fol chain, simple and chaste in design, prop rly proclaiming its value by substance alone and not by meretricious ornamen tation—as all good things should do It was even worthy of The Watch. As soon as she saw it she knew that it must be Jim's. It was like him. Quiet- ness and value—the description applied to both. Twenty-one dollars they took from her for it, and she hurried home with the 87 cents. With that chain on 1) watch Jim might be properly anxious about the time in any company. Grand as the watch was, he sometimes looked at it on the sly on account of the old leather strap that he used in place of a chain.

This yearly fee s due on each Home-Coming Day, Jne is not considered as a member of ‘he Association until the entrance fee s paid. That money which is not 4sed for expenses will be saved and when a sufficient amount has accumu- ated, it will be used for some worthy ause, There was a good deal of difference vf opinion as to the date of the next dome-@oming. Many were in favor of having it on Christmas Day or on “he Saturday following Christmas. As nany thought they would like to be aome on Christmas Day, that date was given up. On Saturday comes sne of Barium’s hardest days because of the cleaning up, ete., which must Je done on that day, and that was giv- -n up as a possible date. After much debating, it was suggested that next ew Year’s Day be the time of the ext Home-Coming. Everyone final- «¥ agreed on this date. Therefore, all sarium Springs Alumni should begin -naking plans to be here January Ist, 4929. Those whe come will not re- ret it, but will all say that they had 4 grand and glorious time.

Laura Gray Green Rachel Hanna Kindergarten WINTER ACTIVITIES We are right now in the midst of the mid-term examinations, and to hear the students in the High School talk, you would think they were going through an ordeal that was little short of the Spanish Inquisition. During the same time we are having physical examination at the Infir- mary, and this seems to be more or less the lark for all the children. It is quite an interesting thing to see how much each one has grown in stature and in weight since last years examination. It’s strange that they shouldn't take the school examination with the same spirit, because it is, in a way, measuring the advance in mental growth this year over last. We always feel better when these examinatins are over, even though they disclose unsatisfactory progress both mentally and physically in a few instances. In the great majority of cases, it shows a very healthy growth and ad- vancement in studies as well as stat- ues. As this is being written, the High School physical examinations have been completed, and we are commenc- ing on the seventh grade. We find that the older the children are, the fewer things we find wrong with them physically. Of the sixty or more children examined today, only two were marked up for dental work One was found with slightiy enlarged ton- sils and one was sent to bed as being sick enough to warrant this. As we get down into the smaller children, however, we find bad teeth, bad tonsils, and other things that need correction by the score. It seems al- most a hopeless task, and but for the _ Music | RAR i Gs fact that we see the result of this early attention in the older children, we might some times grow discour- aged. | ecciat aasekomes WINTER ATHLETICS We have had regular boll weevil weather this winter. Part of the time it was too cold to stay out doors at all; at other times it was too warm |to stay indoors; but in spite of it all, the winter athletics seem to be pros- perous. The girls basketball team |has at this date played two games. {One with Mooresville whom we de- | feated by a good, big score—48 to6, land Statesville High girls whom we defeated 27 to 17. Very few of last year’s girls are on this team, but Elmer Roderick*’s white Sarah Coates’ very black little Louise Gufford are in evidence, and this trio head j hair and end very much has had a good deal to do with the } winning so far. , The boys are amusing themselves | wrestling with a few of the smaller | ones taking on boxing, and they are | keeping their muscles supple and | strong and noses more or less mellow | by this process. | Only about six weeks of this and | then outdoor track will commence ; with jumping, running, pole-vaulting, ete., and then we will all be in good condition for planting and hoeing the corn and harvesting wheat, oats, and barley, etc. It’s a great life, if you don’t weaken. NEWS FROM THE LIVE- STOCK ' | There has been quite a few fatal- jities among our livestock family dur- jing the last ten days. Our venerable | cow by the name of Johnson arranged | her affairs so that she died and was | buried. So many of them die and jare cooked. Johnson was a good old | cow, and the dairy boys will miss her and the dining room will miss her, too. Just after the last cold spell, one of the sheep grew disgusted with her outlook on life and folded her front feet and passed away. Her name, I think was “Old Maid.” She wore a disgusted expression at all times as if nothing exactly pleased her, and I think she is far happier entertaining fish worms than she was as a lawn mower. Old Henry, the Dean of the flock, has also passed away, but not from natural causes. He and his young son, “Spark-Plug,” having reached that time in the affairs of iife that it was deemed best for them to do their bit as mutton. They were sent to the slaughter house last week and are now only a sweet memory. On the last day before his departure Henry seemed to look up ali of his old friends or those who might not be classed as his friends and seemed to ask for the privilege of one last lick. Ife succeeded in butting down every- one who was not sufficiently agile to get out of his way. He was butchered late in the afternoon, but from the expression on his face, he seemed to say that it was the end of a perfect day, anyway. Several days after his death, a boys very aptly named this young young son was born to him, and the lamb, “Orphan Henry,” calling him “O’Henry” for short. The doings among the hog family have been moving along as smoothly as possible. There are four compart- ments in the fattening house, and the boys have named these four compart- ments, “Freshman,” “Sophomore,” “Junior,” and “Senior.” When the hogs are first put in to fatten, they enter the Freshman com- partment. As they get a little fatter they are moved up, and they finally graduate out of the Senior compart- ment and immediatly go to the scald- ing vat. A nice two-hundred pound porker decided not long oga that he didn’t choose to graduate and developed a very baffling disease and now lies peacefully beneath the sod, rounding up our fatilities for January. This young porker didn’t seem to have a name, but was known as the “cock- eyed Boy.” —P. 0. H.— What Price Glory?

Not only are great numbers of recruits given a civilian trade for the first time but they are licked into a physical, mental and moral condition which both pa- rents and public schools have failed to achieve.” The fact that such a publication so comments gives the necessary encouragement to the writer, a former commanding officer of two of our navat training stations, to set forth the following ideas. These ideas were gained from the experience of contact with sons of fellow citizens; and were gained while under a strong sense of responsibility to those fellow citizens that first impressions of the training of their sons be good. When the editorial opinion is further ex- pressed that: “The Army and the Navy are in reality great universities converting soldiers into citizens even more than they convert citizens into soldiers,” 2 bond of sympathetic understanding is indicated that leads to the decision to submit this paper. ye r “Military training,” “military discipline,” “command and : obey are terms that jar. Americans, who reverence the grand traditions = their country and honor the makers of its independence and its wonderful Constitution, realize that, whether or not the terms jar, they stand for something that has been demanded many times In the past, and in all hu- man probability will be demanded in the future, no matter how earnestly we strive to live up to the teachings of our forebears or how faithfully we strive to avoid permanent alliances or entangling meshes. These terms particularly jar Americans who sincerely hope and perhaps believe that the call for the conditions which these terms principally represent will never again be heard; and who claim that these terms oppose freedom of thought, freedom of action, and freedom of conduct. Military discipline, in the popular mind, is associated with punishment, bread and water, con- finement, saluting. Military training is thought to be synonymous with military discipline. “Command” and “obey” are translated into meaning illegal and humiliating orders with obedience forced by fear of punish- ment; the result being a man so trained that illegal commands will be obeyed in abject fear of discipline, and thus a free American citizen be ertushed into a spineless military man. The popular idea is that the pro- fessional officer thinks an ideal soldier must be such an automaton. The man in the street has no conception that under the acid test of modern war the soldier, down to the humblest private, must above all else be able to think. Td disabuse the public mind of this error is a duty it behooves us _to discharge. In what follows the writer outlines the way, in his opinion the most practicable, by which the Navy can discharge the share of this duty that falls to it. : : “When in 1917 this country’s standards of national right and wrong were scorned and our government was driven to the pass where it must call its sons to protect its honor, there poured over the causeway leading to the Naval. Training Station at Newport Rhode Island, in ever-increasing numbers, the nineteen-year-old boy-man, who asked merely how to be shown how to get ready. Whether he dropped his work or his pleasures to come, made no difference to the lad who had come to shoulder his part of the nation’s burden of war—to pick chestnuts out from a fire that proved too hot for statesmanship. No discipline, in the punishment sense, was needed. Those youths, the picture of health and promise, with advantages of college, school and home, of free thought, speech and action wanted only to learn how to fit and conduct themselves for this new thing, they understood perfectly that those that had training must be the best teachers. At a time like that if the commander of those men did not actually drop on his knees and pray to God that he be not permitted to lead them astray, he felt like it. Ata time like that, the irritating terms “military training,” “discipline,” “com- mand,” and “obey” took on their true meanings and really came into their own; and their true meaning stood out as nothing more than what parents had tried to impart and schools tried to develop—self-reliance, self-con- trol, lead and follow. This nation’s reliance, in emergency, is confidently placed on the strength of its nineteen-year-old men. Should not these men, when they are yet nineteen-year boys, be afforded an opportunity, if they elect to take it, of learning a living at a time when it suits them best, what they will be required to learn and live when the government is forced to call on them? There will be no opportunity for this as an additional meas ure when emergency threatens, for our government, in its very real desire to avoid war, has and will scrupulously refrain from taking the least step in time of threatened trouble that could be construed as a cause for precipitating it. Moreover, when war does come, the evil results of hurriedly assembling inexperi- enced young men in camps or stations without adequate instructors are suffered by the young men directly, and by the government only indirectly. To the youth adjusting himself to a new routine and a new way of living, simple things assume great import- ance. Such things may be, for example, the readjustment of long standing habits to military sanitary arrangements; of home food to food in all probability more whole- some but different from that to which he has been accustomed; of sending his dirty clothes to the wash to washing them himself. The very manner of speech, of personal behavior, of sleeping, working, relaxing, are odd and different. The soldier-—and the term embraces the military sailor—exists that the citizen may enjoy his lawful pursuits of peace and happiness. It cannot be unfair for the citizen to know what is required of a soldier or for the soldier to feel that he is also a citizen. It cannot be true that a short experience as a soldier can convert the citizen into an enthusiast for war; that a short experience in adjustment to a new routine, restric- tion on personal fads or habits, can make a free thinking man urge war with all its horrors. Such a man has already experienced the fundamentals of living, which par- ents, schools and policemen have been trying to teach: control of self; reliance on own efforts; leading others if capable, following others if not; doing his part and not rely- ing on someone else to do it. If he drops rubbish and doesn’t pick it up himself, he relies on someone else to pick it up, or fouls his own habitations. If he “spits on the floor” and doesn’t clean it up himself, he either expects someone else to clean his spit or he spits to endanger the health of his buddy. If he takes more food than he wants and wastes it, he makes some messmate go shy, or else depleats the reserve food supply by causing excess issue over requirements. Principles of democracy are demonstrated most impressively to a man in a company of one hundred men from all walks of life, in rank shoulder to shoulder with his fe'- low citizen. Here there are contrasts in religious beliefs, in personal temperament, the leader. Shouid the leader command “squads what” one hundred men would not the leader. Should the ladr command “squads what” on hundred men would not know what the leader wanted, would have no leader, would not follow, and could not obey. The ability to lead furnishes power to command. The desire to follow furnishes obedience to command. Control cf others cannot be affected without control of self. “Do as I say not as I do” paraphrased into “you can do what I say because what I say I know you can do,” very nearly expresses in a phrase the power in a leader. It is to the young man or grown boy, which ever term you like, that the government owes a helping hand the boy on the one hand who has finished school but cannot afford college and must try some trade, and on the other the one who has finished college and stands uncertain as to what to do. There are so many more occupations for the boy of today to choose from than there were when those boys’ fathers were boys that it is correspondingly harder to choose wisely. From these boys on the threshold of life comes the first wave of the country’s defenders in time of emergency. It is this wave that time and pressure will not permit of training, and that must of necessity bungle through with perhaps the aftermath for their consolation, of seeing and hearing of those who foliow them being better equipped, better placed, and better M EF SSENGER PAGE FIVE ee ne Se ie OR Se By CAPT. R. Z. JOHNSTON, U. S. Navy SUC rewarded for their efforts. These latter will certainly have had no better intentions, merely better chances, due to opportunity for selecting men for the place—fitting round pegs in round holes. The government now possesses under the Navy Department four training stations whose combined capacity in peace time is 15,000 approx- imately. The average length of stay is not over three months. By filling these stations four times a year 60,000 men could have the benefit of three months’ training. These stations are used now only as needed to replace men in the fleet. and as such are part of the naval establishment. During a fall in naval! requirments,young men who fancy to apply at the stations for enlistment; during a raise in naval requirments, the recruiters go out and urge men to apply. In either case when the applicant decides, he is enlisted for four years and becomes one of the 86,000 men inthe Navy. He goes to a train- ing station. He has abruptly changed from a state of indecision to one of commitment for four years,and for a career, in order to benefit fully by his choice. The Navy Department must anticipate needs at least four months ahead—one month to get the recruit, three months to train—in order not to have gaps in the active navy personnel. The Navy is maintained on the barest possible number of men, the number being determined by Congress through the appropriation mades each year for their pay. Promotions and casualties are factors that constantly must be kept in mind. The benefits of continuous service are stressed to the men them- selves. The value of the continuous service man to the government is well recognized. All men inducted into the service must be trained and drilled. The navy itself is actually an institution for continual training and drilling to attain perfection by practice. A man who stays in is more valuable to the government than one who just enters, despite the fact that every re-enlist- ment carries increased pay for continuous service. If every enlisted man did what the government holds out as best for him and it and made the Navy his career, the government would find the number of men for a given sum of money continuously decreasing. Given as a mathematical problem, that the Navy is at all times to comprise exactly as many men as have been found for, we would see that to take in recruits in prospect vacancies four months hence ,a reduction in pay of the men to be discharged in four mon- ths would have to be made to pay his relief. As this is no solution to the pro- blem, the practical result is an increase in the number of low-paid recruits and a decrease in the number of high paid men. There is no reservoir to draw from to fill a vacancy in the Navy. A new man must be recruited and sent through a training station. When it is considered that the fleet is a continual training school for it’s particular needs, the obvious question a rises why does not the Navy maintain a reserve of men trained in the sim- ple fundamentals of self-discipline, self-control, self-reliance, self-clean- liness, self-conduct, and self-adjustment to conditions expected? Men who enter the Navy proper should at least have had a chance to know and elect what they are going into. With a limited minimum time for recruits to stay at training stations there is no time for them to try anything else than that which is set for them. In the maintainance of the material at a training station, men of every trade are called upon—carpenters, painters, plumbers, masons, machinists, chauffeurs, machanics printers, clerks, storekeepers, moving picture operators, firemen, policemen, cooks, tele- graph operators, and a host of others. This is natural, because a training station is nothing after all but a habitation for human beings, who are being given experience in taking care of themselves, and as well, in taking care of and keeping in fine con- dition the place in which they live. Aboard ships of the Navy men have their home. This home is one of those things the people of America, the founders of our country, when they ordain and establish the Constitution, empowered Congress to provide and maintain. They did this, in their immortal words, “in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense. and promote the general welfare.” It is no hardship of men to keep this home in order. It is not drudgery to clean up the place you are to live in. At training stations the effort is made to instill in everyone 1 e thought that it is not drudgery or hardship, and above all that it is not humiliating for each man to do his part in keeping the home for all as fit as he himself would like it if he had someone else to do it. In the accomplishment there will be volunteers in abundance; men anxious for the opportunity to work as helpers to all the leading men in the various trades. The station carpenter, plumber, printer, etc., will always have plenty of enthusiastic helpers, if time will permit of the detail, and from these helpers there will now and then emerge a man who has decided he likes to work at a certain thing and will go on with that as his career. When as naturally happens, a boy making his start in life tries one job and gets sick of it, he hesitates to change over through fear that he will be known as a ne’er-do- well or a quitter. If under such circumstances he sticks to the distasteful work he begins under a handicap for his heart is not with his work. At a training station he can try himself successively as helper to all,if there is time, and there no stigma of failure attaches, for, in his own mind and fact as well, he is only volunteering to help and either does or does not like the work. There have been many cases where young men at the training station have found an occupation they were glad to they found their knack at it as helper. The expanse of maintenance is certainly reduced by voluntary willing help. Any housekeeper knows this when voluntary willingness is coupled with ability. The pay of an apprentice seaman is now $21 a month and increased to $36 when he is advanced to ordinary seaman or seaman, second class. This advancement takes place some time after leaving the training station, and one year elapses before he is made a seaman in a real sense of word and takes a place in the naval establishment. Nearly every ship has a large proportion its regular complement filled up with seamen, second class, working for promotion, and it is from this block that nearly all the de- sertions and discharges form discontent or maladjustment come. These men made the decision to enlist for four years at a recruiting station somewhere, some place, and in many cases far from any association with or idea of what the life they were going into was like. follow, because Would this prosperous country of ours be guilty of misplaced charity, of extrava- gance, of wasteful expenditure of the taxpayer’s money, of encouraging war, if it permitted its training stations to be kept full of young men who wanted to use them and who would willingly enlist for this purpose for one year? These young men would be those who wanted to learn how to live in mass with other men; to learn the first things they would have to learn as soon as they were called upon by this govern- ment; to learn self-discipline, self-reliance, self-support, self-control, control of others; to try at least whether they would like any trade or occupation they found at their hands. Thes i! be men who are ready and willing to put themselves under military regulations for one year, in order that the present organization can function. To this high end are they willing to ebey laws and regulations, and for a salary of $21 and later $36 to go where their assignments call them, whether detailed in excess in naval ships. air stations, coast guards, merchant marine, or shore stations. Give them the option, if the naval establishment has room for them, to extend their one year enlistment for three more years and be on the same footing as if they had enlisted for four years to begin with. Give them the right, if they do not like the Navy or are not fit, or there is no room for them, to resume civilian life. There will be something gained and nothing lost. The men will be trained in a preliminary way at least and will have a kit of un- iform; they are available in case of need until they grow too old. Appointments to the Naval Academy are made by congressmen an senators. This is a way to fill training stations. Recruiting parties would not be needed if a con- gressman, representative of his own people, could nominate boys from his district for training stations. The representative would know the characters of the boys, and his endorsement of applicants would ensure men of the caliber to benefit, and the toughs and jail birds would not usurp the privilege over those who are worth while. With a reservoir of one-year men at training stations or in ships, the strength of (CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX) PAGE SIX BARE OCS MESSENGER silane a EES aa Se —— ! 1 " “ARMS AND THE MAN” _° ~ ° (Continae_ trom Page Five Our First-Home Coming Day the enlisted Navy could be more de-| “ finitely determined The one-year men would not be considered any | go more a part of the naval strength than are possible applicants at re- cruiting stations now considered, thé one-year men being what they are, citizens undergoing military training.

Intermed Miss Laura Gray Green Music Miss Rachel Hanna Kindergarte: THE LITTLE MONTH OF FEBRUARY Everybody knows that January is the longest month in the year, be- cause it runs from Christmas till the first of February. Everybody draws any money at all aiways gets paid before Christmas and so are broke longer than any other during the year. of February as being a little short month that will soon be over with and that then spring will be near. Another thing that makes January so long is mid-term examination that hit high school and college alike. And yet in spite of all this and in spite of the fact that February generally has just twenty-eight days, more who things seem to be crowded into this | little month than any of the longer months of the year. First of all, the Ground-hog has his day, and has the whole country laughing at him for acting so foolish; and then he laughs at the rest of the country for the next six weeks, generally proving that he is right. This year Ground-hog day was so pretty that instead of thinking about the ground-hog we were getting out the garden tools, and we haven't been doing anything the rest of the month but carrying an umbrella and looking for our over-shoes. February has kept us in the house so much that when fair weather does come, nobody will want to stay inside at all. We will, no doubt, have to have school, preaching and everything else outdoors. We have had more sickness during this short month than for several Mechanic | Sewing Room | Campus and Farm; Case Worker | time ! We always think! months put together and a good deal of the sickness has been serious. The following have had pnemmonia: Eu- gene Shannon, Dixon Parish, John Cole MeCrimmon, Lee Jessup, Dennis | Boyette, Parker Lyons, James Han- non, and Chas. Force, besides several cases of near pneumonia. Everyone of these are boys, and yet some people say that the girls are the weaker sex. We are glad to report that all of the pneumonia patients are well on the road to recovery. Most of them having been discharged from the hospital. Three children have entered the Orphanage this month, and none have gone One of the new-comers is Luzon Cook Salisbury that was with us for several years and his father re-married with him. In January, seven came in and eight went out. Athletics among the boys is taking a rest. ihe wrestling season is ovei out from then when went to live and it will be some time before track commences. Our gir! basket- all teams still continues the vic- corious march through all opposition, and even the second team holds its own against most of the neighboring igh schools. Sickness not children entirely, of our teachers have been serious] ; li, also. All in all, we have kept oui .octor friends fairly busy. ——P. 0.

Well, then, for a little while imagine that you are spending the day here. In the morning at six o’clock you would be awakened by the ringing of a big bell. Very soon you would hear another bell, somewhat like an ordinary dinner bell. It is rung by the matron in the cottage and means get up! At six-thirty the big bell is rung again and then everybody goes te the dining room for break- fast. You may be surprised when you enter the dining room at its size. There are forty odd tables, yet we use forty three. About 400 people take their places in this dining room. After a blessing has been asked you must be seated at a table with seven others. The waiters will place before you oat meal, a dry cereal, sugar, butter toast, light bread, milk, and coffee for the workers. You may wonder how this breakfast.was prepared for so many, By the girls who get up while it is yet dark! After finishing breakfast a beli taps and everyone turns so they will be facing the center of the room. A hymn will be sung, scrip- ture read and prayer offered by the Superintendent of School or by one of the larger boys. After prayers the eleventh, tenth, ninth, eighth, fifth, third, second, first and special grades go to school. While the others are divided into groups and work in different places. In the kitchen you will find many conveniences—an electric oven, two large steam heated pots, two stoves, bread mixer, potato peeler, bread cutter, meat cutter and cold storage. You think we have a lot of conveniences? Yes?, we have and we are thankful for them since it enables us to get our work done on time, and you know meals must come on the minute. Between the dining room and the kitchen we have the dish hall where the dishes are washed. The Laundry is well equipped with two washers, a wringer, dryer, mangle two steam presses and four irons. We have a fine Sewing Room where electric machines keep on getting out the clothes for a lot of the children. We have our own Printing Office, Dairy and Farm where the work is done by the boys and since I am a girl I can’t give the details of their work. At twelve o’clock the bell rings, school is dismissed, the group workers go to the cottages to get ready for dinner and when the bell rings at twelve fifteen everybody is in a hurry to get to the dining room again. At twelve forty five dinner is over and everybody is rushing to school or group work which begins at one o’clock. At five the bell rings and school is dismissed, work stops and everybody except the kitchen and dairy has recreation until six. Many go to the Library during this hour to get up special work and to see the magazines, papers, and to get books. _. Some spend the time playing games, some the victrola, while Some just spend the time. Supper then comes at six and at six thirty we go back to the cottages for prayers. Then study hour until eight. At nine a bell rings which means “you” had better get ready for bed. At nine fifteen lights out, so ends a day at Barium. 2 Se M 2a 8 Ok ONPG 2 Rk Pace Five STEWARDSH'P PAGE REV. E. E. GILLESPIE, D.

It is even better than the first one several years ago, and there are still some belated returns to come in which we believe will put several more of the Presbyteries in the plus column. At this date last year and even at the end of April when a few delayed contributions had come in, only one Presbytery was in the plus column. Every Presbytery, without a single exception, has made a material gain over this date last year, and we are sure that the total receipts from the Synod will aproach and possibly exceed the amount pro- mised in our budget. This means a reduction of our de- ficit. and a continuation of this sup- port from the church will mean that in a short time this deficit will be com- pletely wiped out.

By Alwyn Morrison. Statesville Daily March 26th. The Barium Springs “Golden Tor- nado” Sextet, closed their 1928 basket ball season recently, which is con- sidered the best in the history of the institution. The team under the ef- ficient coaching of Ralph MeMillan won seventeen games and met defeat only twice and these by close bargins. Fourteen of these victories were won consecutively. Although not being invited to enter the Iredell County High Sehool Championship _ race, Barium six has a right to lay claim to the County Championship among girl teams as she won the best two out of three from the fast Troutman High School Sextet, who won the County Championship from the Har- mony Six. Other High School teams in the County defeated by the Barium Six were: Mooresvile High, States- ville High twice, Seotts High and Sharon High. In the county games Barium scored 256 points to their op- ponents 106. During the 1928 basketball season, The Barium six scored 664 points to their opponents 306. In other words Barium scored a point a minute on the average. Most points, 52, were scor- ed against the Sharon High School Sextet; the least 10, against Troutman High School team. The China Grove High School team scored the great- est number of points against the Barium girls, 31, while the Davidson High School Sextet scored the small- est tally, 9. In Roderick, Torrence and Freeman Coach McMillan claims the best girls scoring combination ever seen on the ribbed court in this section of the state. Roderick has established what is believed to be a state’s individual scoring record during the past season. In 19 games played this season, the team itself has scored 664 points and of this total, Roderick has scored 224 which is almost a third of her team’s total score and given her an average of 14 points per game. Now for an- other comparison, Roderick has also scored 31 more points than her near- est teammate. Nor is all the glory of scoring to be handed Miss Roderick for her center- forward teammate, Freeman, has scored 194 points in 18 games played in. Torrence, Barium’s flashy left forward, scored 134 points in 16 games played in. These records are also splendid ones. These three girls. Roderick, Freeman, and Torrence are not only sensational floor workers. Their passing work and speed is amazing. In Gufford, Coates, McMillan and Archer on the defensive end of the team, is another assemblage hard to equal in girls courtdom. The low scores compiled by Barium’s oppon- ents during the past season is a direct result of the invincibleness of the guard quartet. The Barium reserves ineluding Jackins, Bolden, Bobbitt, Estridge, Warner, Long, Miller and Whitlow were at all times ready to be rushed into the game. They were almost as good as the first team and will be strong players to build next season’s team around.

BARIUM MESSEN The Special Col- lection For The Orphanage In April We have found that grown folks are a good deal like child- ren in one respect, ut least. If they do something fine and you hrag on them too much, some- times they get to admiring them- selves to such an extent that they forget to do anything else. We are mentioning this for fear that our special collection in April may be forgotten. Last fall at the meeting of Synod, that body realizing that something was very necessary to increase the revenue of the Orphanage, ordered a special collection by all churches some time in April. The Synod realized that this was not a good time for this col- lection, since it comes immed- iately after the more or less hectic wind-up of the church year in March, but they very wisely we think, ordered it never the less. Some churches we feel sure have been disappointed in the size of their special collection Thanksgiving. This will give them an opportunity to make this up. All of the churches realizing the very great strain this institution has been under during the last several years carrying a rather heavy deficit will realize the need of making a big contribution at this time. We have nothing but praise for the churches for the splendid inerease they have made during the last year, but we do not want them to even spend one month in admiration of themselves for this, but to put this behind them except as an inspiration, and see to it that their special contribu- tions this mont) is worthwhile. Barituin Cpritys looks to you in confidence and renewed hope. <2, 08. JENNY GILME : COTTAGE 8 Many things of interest have hap- pened in the last few weeks but we have been occupied in other things and failed to take any special note of them since we are most always busy in school or some form of athletics. Basket ball season has closed and we can easily claim the championship of about three counties. The team played eighteen games and won six- teen of them. Spring seems to be here at last and track practice is under way. We en- tered the Davidson Invitational meet but didn’t hit up with much luck as we only scored one and a half points. Well if you look around you can always see someone that is worse off than yourself. In this case one or two schools who entered were not as for- tunate as we. We are expecting to win more of our meets this year as we have a few experienced men al- though most of us are just rookies. We have meets with Statesville, Sal- isbury, Hickory, Concord and a few others. We have had a tough time in school for the last few weeks as the days are bright, warm and sunny and it takes a lot of will-power about a fellow to make him study when Mother Nature calls so strongly. Well it won’t be long until the pest called school will cease to be a nuisance as we only have about eleven more weeks of it. The farmers are still working on the new addition and seem to be making a very good headway towards clearing it up for pasture lands and also more for agriculture, We have had interesting talks by different men on the future farming prospects of North Carolina in con- nection with a general study of North Carolina in the class rooms. It is interesting to learn about one’s native -}State as well as helping. “INCOGNITO.” ——P. 0. H—— THANKSGIVING RETURNS J Aux.

HALL | A a ede seem ie For the first time in over eight years, death has removed one of the members of the Board of Regents in active service. This time it was Mrs. Frank P. Hall, of Belmont, who had just begun her first term as a member of the Board of Regents from Kings Mountain Presbytery. Although Mrs. Hall was new on the Board of Regents, she was not new in Orphanage work, and her work as Presbyterial Secretary and as Synodical Secretary has meant much in years past for the good of this Institution. In her unselfish devotion she accomplished much and she will long be missed as one of the forces that made for right progress here. As evidence of the universal love and esteem in which she was held, we are pricing herewith extracts from various resolutions, and editorials. Gastonia Gazette: “Gaston county has lost one of its most notable women in the death of Mrs. F. P. Hall, of Belmont. “Coming to Gaston county some years ago from a distant and dissim- ilar section of North Carolina, she quickly and easily became part and parcel of this community. In the mammoth tasks that faced her hus- band in his work as head of the county schools, she was always found fight- ing shoulder to shoulder with him. She has been an able and faithful helpmeet to the cause of education. “Particularly has this been true in the case of musical education. There are literally hundreds of men and women, old middle-aged and young in Gaston county, especially in Union, Lowell, McAdenville, South Point and Belmont, and in other sec- tions of the county whither they have moved, who learned music under Mrs. Hall. For years she taught piano in Belmont, she also taught in Gastonia. “She was an almost indispensable part of the social, religious and com- munity life of Belmont. Before her health gave way, there was no such thing as trying to get up any sort of musical program in church or school, unless Mrs. Hall was at the head of it. “She has spent untold hours of ar- duous, life-giving toil in rehearsals, practices, etc.., in cold school auditor- iums, churches ete. “For years she was the organist and choir director of the Presbyterian Church in Belmont, and it might be said, she wore her life away at the piano and organ, for long before a worn out heart and waning strength forced her to quit her active duties, she was on the job three and four times a week in all kinds of weather, when every tissue in her body were calling for rest. “To Prof. Hall and the only son, Frank, the sympathy of the entire community is extended in this their ‘[dark hour of grief.” Lowell: “Much sorrow was felt in Lowell at the death of Mrs. F. P. Hall of Bel- mont. There was no woman in Gas- ton county who took more interest in good works than did Mrs. Hall, or in historical matters. We miss her sad ly. “There is one great monument to her memory. The Womans’ Building at Barium Springs, the Presbyterian Orphanage. This is called the Lottie Walker Building. Mrs. Hall went there and owing to her untiring ef- forts, she got the Presbyterian women to build this new building, as the con- ditions before were deplorable. “This is only one of her good works.” Belmont: In the lamentable death of Mrs. F. P. Hall, the community has lost in many ways. Not only is it a great loss to her home and her church, but she will be greatly missed as a friend, neighbor and citizen. As a friend and a neighbor, she was kind, thoughtful, unselfish and con- siderate of the welfare of others. She was never too engrossed in her own personal affairs to lend her aid on any occasion that might arise, and her daily life was characterized by the desire to be of service to others. In the civie life of the community, the death of Mrs. Hall leaves a place that will be hard to fill. Not only was she active in welfare work and the relief of the needy and suffering, but she was constantly working for the best interests of her community along with the lines of schools, gov- ernment, club work and anything that would help improve the civic life of her town. As a_ citizen, she always stood steadfastly for what was right and her devotion to her duty was ever unfailing. As an illustration of this phase of the character of Mrs.Hall is found in her attitude on the quest- ion of women voting. Before the Woman suffrage Amendment was passed, Mrs. Hall was not in favor of women having any part in politics, but once it became a law, Mrs. Hall entered wholeheartly into the work of seeing that the women used for polls for the proper causes and what seemed best for the community. The worth of Mrs. Hall to her com- munity cannot be measured in any one service, for she made her life count in manifold ways and the ex- tent of her good works cannot be es- timated. In speaking of Mrs. Hall’s place in our community it is impossible to confine it to any special line of work, for her interests were as varied as the community needs. We often find one with untiring de- votion to the community they grow up in, but Mrs. Hall came among us as a young school teacher, a stranger to all. At once our interests became her interests. Many of the matrons of the surrounding country today owe their educational advantages to her, for she generously opened her home to them and gave them opportunities that they would not have had other- wise, The longer she lived among us, the farther her work extended. Every life she came in touch with felt drawn to her as the natural leader. Her in- fluence was always extended for the highest and best in community build- ing. Wherever there was a need found she was always ready and anxious to aid. She often spoke of a pecu- liar debt that she felt we owed the negro, and she tried in every way to uplift them. She visited their sick, clothed their naked and fed their hun- ery. Speaking strictly of her work in the Presbyterian Church, we think of the years she faithfully served as or- ganist and choir director, and again of her Bible Class, for which she de- voted many hours to faithful Rible study and preparation. Our Church has lost a most valuable teacher, whose example and instructions will be sorely missed in all the days to come. From this Bible Class radiat- ed much of Mrs. Hall’s community work, Tribute To Mrs. F. P. Hall In the passing of Mrs. F. P. Hall we all realize that our chapter has lost one of its most choice spirits. Her time, strength, means, and high in- tellectual attainments she gave to us freely and without reserve. Her beautiful home with its priceless heir- looms and lavish hospitality was ever open to us. Coming from the noblest and best ancestry in the land, she showed it in her face, bearing and in every word and act. Rarely is it given to one person to possess so many remarka- ble and lovable characteristics. Mrs. Hall was outstanding in her mental ability, keen and sure in her judgments, fearless and bold in her stand for the right, dignified yet un- assuming, loyal and lovable, com- manding the respect of those whose opinions differed from hers. In her untiring and self-forgetful service for others, she set each one of us a fine example. One of the places in which she will be sadly miss- ed is in the charity organizations of her town. Nothing that could bring comfort and ease to the poor and sick, whether white or colored, was ever too much for her to undertake. In her church she was faithful and untiring. Having much to give, her place will be hard to fill. Her gift as a Bible teacher and her musical ability she gladly contributed. In her loyalty and courageous de- votion to a cause or to a friend she stands alone. Fearless and bold and forgetful of self, she quickly took her stand and with her sure dignity and christian spirit she was ever an un- defeatable champion for the right. Today we think of her as one hav- ing ten talents and using them all in her service to God and to her fellow- men. Having much to give she gave lavishly. Of her devotion to her home and family and to her friends I cannot speak, but it is an open book to us all. It is with a great deal of pride that I can say “She was my friend ever wise, loving, brave, and true. In her home, her church, her town, her county, and in the State this Godly woman was a power for good. May her memory inspire us to carry on, that her passing may not cause any faltering in the good works in which she has had so large a part.

There are other people that seem to never spend grow old, and it is only when their time for laying down their work that we realize that they have passed a good many mile stones in life’s journey. In this latter class belongs Mr. R. L. Brown, for many years the Superintendent of Oxford Masonic Orphanage. Mr. Brown was sixty-five years old, but in activity and enthusiasm and in everything except mature judgement, he have passed for a man of forty. It was in his ripe experience and settled judgement only, that he showed the result of his years of experience. On Monday, March the twelfth, the whole state was shocked to hear of the sud- den death of this splendid man. It will take years for us to fully realize what he has meant to the Institution over which he so ably presided and to the work of orphanages and like in- stitutions everywhere. He had the vision to see, the courage to undertake and the ability to carry through many things that have since become good practice, but until he took the lead, had never been attempted. He lead the way in so many things that his } is felt, not only by the Masonic 1088 comes Fraternity, but by all organizations interested child welfare. He has held, with honor and distinc- tion, every position of honor that could be conferred by the several Associations of Orphanage Heads to which he belonged.

China Grove and Cornelius were also well above the average, but for hard playing and tight competition we do not believe that any of the games ‘ompared with the three finals with Troutman High. Although Troutman had previously been beaten by teams that we had defeated, believe that the team that we went against at the tail end of the the that we have ever met. We played them on Friday, March the ninth, at Barium, defeating them 25 to 16. On Tuesday, March the thirteenth, we played them at Troutman, losing 17 to 10. The final game was played in Statesville Friday, March the six- teenth, in which Barium was victor- ious 25 to 18.

They have gone through the season with consistent, hard, steady work, not only in the games but the prac- tice. There has been a minimum of discipline necessary to keep them in line and they have conducted them- selves, not only in their playing, but in their general conduct, as true la- dies. We are proud to claim them and to have them represent us. Our Red White and Blue forward trio and our fast bunch of little guards cer- tainly did put all they had into every game, and that is why we end the season with practically a perfect re- cord.

Sense y emer aw ORPHANS BARIUM SPRINGS, NORTH ¢ CAMPUS & FARM 7 Te ] | Hello everybody: | eee you all are feeling as fine as we are in ae part | of the country. The good old sammer time is here again and we are all glad to see it. Hay mowing time is here and we have already cut about fifteen acres of alfalfa hay and have most of it in the barns. The wheat, rye and barly | |; \*- crops are coming along just fine and we are expecting an excellent crop, when we harvest these grains. Bob Temp’s favorite song now js “Oh, the smell of new mown hay.” He smells his part all right. The corn planters are working again and corn is being planted in the hew ground, which we worked on ail! winter and are not through yet. We are still picking up roots and cuttine sprouts, During the first of the month we pulled stumps and [ mean it pulls them up roots and all. The only trouble with it is that the dirt has to be cleaned from the roots and then the stumps are moved. The other day the cable that goes around the stump breke and Robert Wilkes who was standing near the front of the tractor was scalded with hot water from the radiator. A little later A. J. Potter, who works the gear, got his arm caught in a clog wheel and pinched a large piece of meat out of his arm. These were the only accidents this month except one of our mules stuck a nail in its hoof and has gone lame. But she will be well in a few weeks. The track season is over and I sup- pose Mr. Cavin is glad of it. We had a better season than we did last year; our last meet was with Salisbury, and I am sorry to say we lost it. School will be out in two weeks and I hav en't found anybody that is sor ry yet, they are all looking forward to vacations and other summer amusement. The farm is in full swing again and will be that way until it gets cold again. We sure don’t lack rain around here be- cause it rains about two days out of every week and it sure pours when it rains. Well, I think that is all of the things we have done this month ex- cept paint the new additionto the horse barn, so we bid you “Adius” until next month. —P. V0.

In our desperation last year, we reduced the number of ehild- 1ren “nthe Orphanage, cutting down from 37% to 2ol. This meant ‘that we had to defer accepting the children that were in our wait- ing list and most s riously needing the help of the Orphanage. | We hoped at that time that we would never have to repeat that ; j experience again.

This hope hasn’t been fulfilled. We have had to use this column which was to report contributions not as something pleasant that we were glad for everyone to read, but more often the report of our increasing shortage in receipts. We wonder if anybody reads this particular column? We dow i see how they can and not do something about it. We can't lieve that the chureh at large really feels toward the Orphanage as their lack of response in this particular would seem to indi- be - cate. Let's just take a little history: A little over twelve months ago when the condition of our finances was broadcasted to the church, there was an effort in a few quarters to remedy the situation. Several churches took special collections and as a result the month of This June showed quite an improvement over former years. seemed to stimulate the other churches to the extent that by the fall of the year our deficit had at least not been inereased, Then O6 ° 7 . the Thanksgiving offering came to our relief. The year closing March the thirty-first, 1928, showed increased revenve so that we were able to reduce our operating deficit Nine Thousand Dollars bringing it down to Twenty-eight Thousand Dollars uembers, We were jubilant over this, years the entire wiping out of this very distressing debt. We felt all the better, knowing that a speeial collection had heen ordered by the Synod for really did look rosier than at any time in the last few years. Much to our disappointment, however, the April Special Col- lections did not materialize, and the month of May dropped very much below that of the year before, of distress, in round believing that it meant in a few the month of April; so our finances and June, in spite of our ery is just about half of what June was in 1927. It means that we have received, during this entire quarter of the church year, less than what was needed to run the Orphanage one month, and we don’t know just what to do about it. We have applications before us that we have promised to ae- cept. They have been investigated and are certainly the res- ponsibility of ovr church to care for, Arrangements have been made for these children to come in. It seems as if we were breaking faith to refuse to take them in at this time. We suppose every member of the ehurch has heard something of our Money System at Barium Springs. The plan of this money On ac- count of the lack of money we have had to postpone the redemp- tion day for this first half year. It means that the the children were counting on for vacations and other pleasures has had to be withheld. This also seems like breaking faith. We wish every member of our church all over the Synod could come to Barium Spiéngs and stay long enough to see the part ow system is to have a redemption day at least twice a year. money that family here does take in making our own living and trying to hold down to the uttermost low dollar the maintenance of the Orphanage. the amount necessary for It doesn’t seem just exactly honest to fail to do our part in e finaneial way when the children we are supposed to help are do- ing so well their part.

Some of che n went the day after school closed.

Not at all bad for the shank end of « month that was already half used up in school. We don’t know but what possibly the news that our peach crop and watermelon crop was exe eptionally good this year _ gnened circulation among the childrer and as many as possible are aethe to have their va- ations over with and be back here in time to help eat up those peaches and watermelons, We don’t know there’s certainly doings during the watermelons. how that will be, bu going to be big month with these Some of the smaller children are going to put cotton in their ears that there will be no hance for watermelon seed to get in! so So many children being away makes PLOWING HARVEST that it is over $2,000.00 If any Church could be excused for forgetting Barium Springs, it might v¢ the Second Church.

Then “As the heart panteth after the water brook, So panteth my soul after Thee, O God,” and looks With an eye of faith “Unto the hills From whence cometh my help,” and stills Within my breast a troubled sea, As the angry waves were hushed That night by the Man of Galilee. —Robert L.

The Assembly's Committee of forty-four meeting at the same time, had the matter laid before them and authorized the survey. Steps were immediately started toward putting this survey on and the twelve months between that meeting and the recent meeting of the Educat- iona! Conference has seen quite a bit done in this survey, The matter was started by Dr. Sweets and was in the hands of Dr. W. 0. Thompson, President Emeritus of Ohio State University, Dr, Warren Brown of the University of Chicago and Mr. H. W. Hopkirk ef the Child Welfare League of America, Dr. Brown had the direction of the Survey with Dr. Thompson giving special attention to the Seminaries and Mr Hopkirk spec- ial attention to the Child caring institutions. Many others were associated with these men and the thoroughness with which they went into this tremendious task and the amount of data that they avcumulated in the short time so far at their disposal shows that they were not only well equiped to do the job but that they also went at it ssviuaic At the recent meeting of the Educational Conference, the findings of this survey with recommendations were laid before the Educational Conference, | and we believe that this information and these recommendations if taken! seriously by the various departments of our church, are going to result in tremendous good for our educational program. Many facts were brought out that need some apologies, The fact that they were brought out means they will have to be changed. The recommendations of the survey include some major operations, or am- putations, possibly, would be a better word. When these recommendations | go before the various governing bodies controlling these institutions, there is going to be tumultuous debate, and possibly the amputations recommended will not be carried out. One thing was clearly shown and that was that our Church is attempting to carry an educational load much larger than any other denomination, ap parently much larger than our church is able to carry, This has resulted in the death of some of our institutions. Others have be- come sick. Possibly a strong debate would cure them. It may be that some verations are necessary. Anyway, now, since the Stewardship Committee affairs have been definitely settled and are no longer something for Synod and Presbytery to spend too | much time on in debate, no doubt the Survey will take the place and be ihe much talked of subject during the next several years. This reminds us somewhat of an argument we heard one time between a loctor and his patient: The doctor diagnosed the patient's trouble as acute | appendicitis; the patient raised an argument on the question and so fine was his argument that he convinced himself that he didn’t have appendicitis. | The doctor was non-committal. The whole affair seemed settled except that in a few months the man had a second attack and died. Our doctors, the men selected to conduct the survey, have diagnosed the | trouble in our educational system. Some of these men are pretty good arguers, but I have no doubt that there | will be found in our church courts many that can out argue them. We hope | that the final result wiil not be like the illustration above. ’ Case Work O ne of the chief indictments in the Educational Survey brought against the Orphanage Work of our Southern Presbyterian Church was the lack of adequate case work. ae This term sounds rather learned and mysterious, but it is no more than a careful investigation by a person trained to do that investigation of all the applications that come to the Orphanage. Three of the Urphanages of the fifteen in the Southern Assembly have case workers. We note that a fourth is now putting one on. The lack of such case work has resulted in numbers of children going to the institutions that should not have gone there, or at least that is the interpretation of the Survey Cominittee We have found in our experience that case work eliminates at least four out of five applications and reduces the number of children that are found to be actually in need of this Presbyterian Orphanage to a number that we can reach, It isn’t always easy to do this case work, however, as our decisions after making a careful investigation does not always meet with approval of the people interested in the applications. They do not know all the facts. We have many requests to make an “exception” in a particular case. The people making this request forgetting that we have hundreds of such requests for making “exceptions” and sometimes we fear that our decisions being differ- ent from what the community might want, has resulted in a cooling of the in- terest in this institution at times. —_—- The findings of the Survey Committee in this respect is some what of a omfort to us as it puts the stamp of approval on this feature of our talk and points out that accepting children on any other must inevitably result in the wreck of the Orphanage program. To illustrate what case work is, we are reprinting here three articles on this. Some of our readers may have read these articles before, but knowing that case work is going to be very much discussed durine the coming months we feel that this reprinting will not be amiss. CASE WORK What is It? And Why? (By JOS. B. JOHNSTON) ASE Work as used by orphanages is simply the careful investigation of each individual application by some one who is thoroughly familiar with the aims and purposes of the institution he or she serves, and all the other agencies for child relief operating in the territory in which the application arises. The Why Of Case Work Is Self-Evident It is to find out as much about the child as possible. [fo discover the pos- sibility of help from relatives. To have definite information to make an in- telligent recommendation to the body empowered to pass on the application as to whether that particular institution or some other agency is best suited vo meet the needs of that particular child. Above all, to conserve the re- sources of the orphanage in order that it may serve best those most in need of its help. So much for definitions. Now for a little history. For nearly all of its existence the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home at Bar- ium Springs, N. C., felt that it could not afford the luxury of a case worker. It depended on the superintendent getting his information from the people interested in the case and mainly from pastors in whose congregations the case originated. This method was far from satisfactory, owing to the fact that there is such a wide divergence of opinion held by those not closely fa- miliar with the institution as to who should really go to an orphanage. For instance, here is one pastor who thought that the Orphans’ Home was open to all Presbyterian orphans regardless of their need. He was instrumental in placing in the orphanage two families whose near relatives were well able and anxious to care for them. He looked on the orphanage service as a pension for rich or poor alike. Another good man and pastor thought the orphanage was the place for sub-normal children only; for those children that familics usually made fail- | ures of. Eleven children came to Barium Springs through his applications. Of these, nine were subnormal mentally. Three of these of a most dangerous type. In both these cases nothing appeared in the correspondence to disclose these facts. These men just thought the conditions were regular according to their conception of the work. We might enumerate instances of this kind ad infinitum, but we don’t want to run out of words yet, Early in 1926 the Board of Regents of Barium Springs decided to put on a full time case worker and pay for it from the income from the Duke Endow- ment (still feeling that it could not be afforded from the regular Orpnanaye funds). In July, 1926 this case worker went to work. She (it is a woman) had had previous experience doing similar work with the Red Cross, was full of enthusiasm and seemed to have a lot of endurance. She was handed a new Chevrolet co upe,a grip full of applications and a road map of North Carolina. Now, at the end of fourteen months we can commence to check up. Here are some figures: Number of applications 116 Number of children involved 362 Number of people interviewed 79 Miles Traveled 210 Total Expense 24.96 Results Rejections: 92——relatives able and willing to support: 95—other agencies better suited to relieve the dependency : 38—-withdrawn, after a clear under- standing of Orphanage work; 7—-sub-normal; 7-——over-age; 101 accepted or mn Waiting list to accept; 22 investigations not completed. Let us analyze these further: The first class was 92 with relatives able and willing to support. Thes re subject to much closer subdivision, There were cases where the mother knew that there were relatives able and willing to help, but she did not want to make the suggestion. The relatives were willing but took it as a matter of course that the mother would appeal to them. The case worker in her interviews cleared these misunderstandings up and made everybody happy. There were cases Where one set of relatives were trying to get the children away from another set from motives of jealousy, or sometimes even more sordid motives, especially where some property was involved. There were cases of misunderstanding where a poor bewildered mother theught it was her duty to the orphanage to send her children here, And there were cases of outright imposition. One thing they all had in ommon, however. They all at first looked like urgent cases due for im mediate relief and the pastors and sessions all had this view of it. The second classification « 5 can be divided into a number of smaller | subdivisions, too, Quite a number were found to be eligible to State Mother’s Aid. Some were already geiting this help; some belonging to other denom inations, but not wanting to meet conditions required by their own institution make an appeal to us, and sometimes got rather strong endorsement to their ipplications from friends within the local Presbyterian Church. (Note of explanation: We do sometimes take in children of other denomin- ations when it is a clear case of destitution and their own institution is an- ible to help them. There are Presbyterian children in other orphanages for the same reasons. But we do not accept children of other denominations re- jected by their own institutions for cause.) Some of these applications were made because the relatives just liked our school better than the home school, or wanted little Johnnie broken of smok- ing cigarettes, ete. The 38 cases withdrawn wore for the most part made by people entirely misinformed as to the orphanage’s purpose. Some thought the orphanage ust a free school maintained by the Church for its children. Some even thought they were due a great note of thanks for searching out children that they thought we could get. Allin all, this last class reveals some interesting records, ‘ The next two classifications need no comment. Finally, out of the 362 children investigated, 101 have been found that seem to be definitely our responsibility and in great need of the relief offer- ~d by the orphanage. This number not so large as toe be overwhelming, | and it is easily within reason that they can all be reached in time to really help them. Now, what would have happened without the careful examination of. e< ase? You will note that there were ) applications that were rejected. Of these 77 appeared from the preliminary correspondence that they were not suitable cases. The other 162 appeared to be urgent, worthy cases that should be given quick relief. In one case urgent letters came in one day rom three different pastors widely separated urging quick action, “cutting ot red tape,” “acceptance by wire,’ etc. All were writing about the same ase, which later proved very far from being an orphanage case. Without careful case work at least 150 would have been put on the wait- ing list and their acceptance would have been rushed. This means that in a little over a year the Synod would have had to assume some sort of res- ponsibility toward that many children. Now, 150 children are a whole lot. Even the way we house them at Barium it would take four big dormitories to house them. At the very lowest estitaate compiled from comparative statistics, it would cost $50,000 a year to care for them, and an outlay in new equipment of $150,000. : This Case Work has enabled us to search out the 101 children that we can best help, and by advice and help has peinted cut other means of relief to that larger number that would have overwhelmed beyond hope our orphanage work. 3 ; Can Any Orphanage Afford Case Work? Let’s put the question differently. If a chance to increase the capacity of an orphanage by fifty per cent was offered for only three per cent increase in cost, and if this also kept the orphanage from doing lots of foolish things to rise up later andi mock, can any orphanage afford not to accept that chance? To do without case work seems to us to be like a charitable hospital doing all the work it can but not using any funds fer diagnosis; to throw away that ae and blindly perform all the major operations that people Lest this argument sound too one-sided, we must mention one disagreeable feature of the work. Sometimes a church sends us an application, and when we send our case worker to get the needed facts, the church resents what they term our “going behind their back to check up on their report.” This eleva t ment has at times been acute, and even though the case work uncovers Siete entirely unknown to the church members, and they reluctantly agree that w were Justif din our investigation, still this resentment lingers : Sometimes the information we obtain is of an extremely confidenial nature so that we have to announce our decision on a case by unexplained “yes” or “no”. This would soinetimes arouse the feeling of a saint and all p e by: terians are not saints—vet. Seek " eee We hope this one “fly in the ointment” will s ise “a ; 7 wall & Gad uses oe fe ype .

CASE WORKER i ahs s known as a “case worker” is t has been generally agreed that what ji essential to Orphanage work. By a case worker is meant a social worker, whose duty it is to visit any and all applicants for admission in the home; investigate the circumsta a in which the child lives; get some history of the family which includes ttn ditary diseases, disposition toward industry, sobriety, ete.: to sauaseeha 32 there are relatives or friends who can and should take the child or children; caer 2 o—— help to the mother or father would enable the children to This investigation and report is intended to be as much in the interest of the child as of the Orphanage. It is conceded that ordinarily a hitd i better off at his home with his mother than anywhere else, Many tiie a Sympathetic worker can suggest and really aid in working out problems without outside help. It is also a recognized fact that all Orphanages, which do not make such inquiry, are subject to abuse by those who feel that O ki > ages will have to have children in order to keep going. There are als 7. a parents who would like to transfer their responsibility of rez a children to someone else. ee A case came to our attention some time ago, where a mother was insistent upon our taking her three children.

The first expression is one of panic followed by a look cf amazement probably at being still alive, followed by a frantic search for a friendly hand to help pull him to safety. This is not unlike our sensation in the month of September. Every year, against our will, we have to make a plunge in our finances through the summer months. However much we may try to avoid it, we ave to pretty nearly do the impossible each year; that is, handle all of the expenses of these rather expensive months with an income less than twenty per cent of the outgo. We have hoped each year that in some way this condition could be avoided either by having enough left over from the preceeding year to ease us through these Jean months of vacation time, or else in some Way stir the churches up so that they would take thought of us and provide during the summer time. It seems that both of these conditions are impossible of attain- ment so at the beginning of the summer months we are like the little chap standing on the spring board re- alizing that he must make the plunge. When our head bobs up in September, we find that we have existed somehow. It may be that we have had to detour around all the bank buildings in a radius of fifty miles to avoid the accusing looks of the Cashier and other officials. We may have had to send lots of watermelons to people that we trade with that are xpecting a different kind of melon, otherwise known as a “remittance” and resort to many other schemes io make one dollar temporarily do the work of five. The look of amazement at being alive is still on our faces, and we This is the first day of September. are at present frantically looking for that helping hand. We are desperately in need of ready money, and we hope that your first thought in getting your churches and other organizations organized after their summer vacation time, will be to send us a real remit- tance. If we had to run the Orphanage on strictly cash basis, (and many of our people think that this is the way it should be done) we would have had this year to have run the orphanage for five months on the estimat- d need of less than two months. If we had done this, the children would either have starved to death or would have been sent away. The organization of the In- stitution would have been broken up and we would face in the fall the task of re-organizing and building up something that had taken years to bring to its present high order—-a most uneconomical and wasteful pro- ceeding. We publish each month, a table of receipts. This is intended to show in as few words as possible, the ratio of income to the ratio of need. It isn’t just a mathematical problem, but it means that when the in- come falls as far behind our needs as is indicated dur- ing these summer months that it brings actual dis- tress of some kind here. We try to keep this distress away from the children and to see that they do not suffer for anything needed for their health and well being; but it is impossible to keep the Institution from sulfering. haven't the time to come to Barium If you find any difficulty in realizing our situation, go to the nearest swimming pool, watch some little chap that has n ver dived before dive into the water; and get a close-up of the expession on his face when he comes up; then think of us and before this gets out of your mind, send us a check, You all Springs and to see this for yourselves, Table Of August Receipts Amount Behind Stan — ns | MISCELLANEOUS GIFTS ling last ! i ur Lexington, D.

Another miracle happened on August 25th. El- len Bateman, with some other girls, were wash- ing windows at the Infirmary. The safe way to go about this, when washing the outside is to sit in the window and wash the lower pane, then run this pane up and the upper down and wash it. Occasionally someone will try standing on the ledge and washing the outside of the upper pane this way. This usually resulis in nothing more serious than a severe reprimand by the person in charge of the work. In Ellen’s case, however, it resulted in a fall, and the fall ended practically three stories below on the concrete entrance to the basement. Ellen landed squarely on her head, there not being a bruise of any kind on her body. Within fifteen minutes after the fall Ellen was at Davis Hospital. Her condition seemed criti- cal, and it appeared as if she would not survive the shock. After lying in a stupor for about twenty hous, she waked up Sunday morning. asked the nurse all about everything, and from then on proceeded to a rapid recovery. Just one week from the accident she was ur and about the campus, with only a pair of black eyes to show for her accident. The first account of the accident appearing in the papers gave the impression, (which her condition at that time in- OOO CICS LEES’ COTTAGE De POLIO OSE AS We'll be glad when it stops raining for a while.

None of these are mvure enjoyed than the “Connie Maxwell.” Dr. Jamison, the editor, not only has worth while thoughts but has the fac- ulty of expressing these thoughts in a pleasing lucid manner. The July number of the Connie Maxwell has just arrived, and so many good articles are in this that it may appear that we are reprinting the Connie Maxwell in full the reprint below. We are not reprinting the entire magazine, but just those things that touch us most forcibly. No doubt, there has appeared in our columns before, ideas like those ex- pressed by the Connie Maxwell. It may add strenth to these to see what some one else has to say about it. Connie Maxwell Orphanage has long been looked upon as the ideal Orphanage in the South. Dr. Jamison, the veteran Superintendent of this in- stitution, a man who is largely responsible for its present high standards, stands in the forefront of orphanage men in our entire nation. We hope our readers will read every bit of these clippings from his paper. The article on the Child Welfare League of America is especially worth read- ing at this time, on account of the contact this organization recently had with our church work. The Child Welfare League of America has loaned the Survey Committee of our church, a man to make a survey of the Child welfare work in the Southern Presbyterian Church. This survey has been most fully and ef- ficiently carried out, and the value of the work has been made more worth- while, because the Child Welfare League is just what it is as described by Dr. Jamison. “It is quite common to have letters from one kind friend or another using the expressions, “I plead most earnestly for the admission of these children.” If-the friends only knew it they might save their ink while writing the plea. congressman, or influential people is not required. It use to be the case that If the child is in need he presents his own plea and the eliquence of pastors, the strongest plea and the greatest pressure was likely to secure the ad- mission of a child. It is a happy circumstance that such a situation has pass- ed.and that we now have a skilled social worker to investigate each case thoroughly and give an accurate recommendation as to procedure.” “All over the country the people are spending more money for dependent children than in former years. We are doing it at Connie Maxwell. We are offering children far better advantages than we did twenty years ago. Has this change come about because of any special ambition on our part to shine?. Not by any means. The change has come about because the peo- ple who support the work have demanded that a better quality of work be done. .The people who support this work are doing better by their own children than teey were able to do many years agu. hey are giving them better care and providing them with better opportunities. As the average child in the average home has improved and enlarged privileges so has the child in the institution. It is not therefore extravagance that has brought up the expense of the child care all over this country of ours. It is the simple, normal growth that demands better things because all the people are enjoying improvements and privileges that at one time were not af- forded.” “Why not mix the feeble-minded, the cripple, the blind and the incorrigible at one institution Every now and then this question is presented by some earnest advocate who is insisting that the children in whom he is interested shali be received at Connie Maxwell. Strange to say we are occasionally urged by trained social workers to receive the feeble-minded, or those other- wise handicapped. It ought to be apparent to any person who has a fair degree of common sense that handicapped children call for special methods. We have never claimed to be equipped to deal with any children other than those in the normal class. We have no methods that meet the needs of such a blind or a deaf child. There are methods that meet the needs of such children and there are schools equipped to give them such attention as will bring them forward in a thorough education. We have not such equipment, nor would it be advisable for us to try to install such. It ought to be plain enough to a sensible person that we cannot possibly handle to advantage the children who are subnormal mentally. There is a splendid school for such a class and the methods that prevail in that school meet the need of such chil- dren.. The methods at Connie Maxwell would not apply to feeble-minded children, nor could we bring them forward in any way that would be helpful to them. So when restricting ourselves to normal children we are following the line that was laid down by the Trustees a great many yeears ago, and also the line that is accepted by all workers in the child welfare field,” —The Connie Maxwell. THE REAL TASK IN ORPHANAGE WORK Some might say that the main job of the executive is to find money fo: current support. Others might say that his chief work ought to be that o securing money for new buildings for enlargement and for general im provement of ex tipment. Such a superficial view does not present the rea task. If the truth were known it is a more responsible and a more serious task to spend the money in a proper way than it is to secure it. One might say the main task confronting one who attempts to run an institution is that of keeping a strong grip upon the children to keep them under. It is no small thing to handle a child or a set of children, and yet that is not all by any means that one is called upon to do in assuming direction of a work like this. The importance of the strong grip has perhaps received more emphasis than is called for even though it is of course necessary to exercise direction and control Our rea! task is given us in the example of our blessed Lord. He took a little child into his artms and pronounced His blessing upon him. That picture suggests to our minds more than could possibly be put into a few words. His sympathy and understanding touch our hearts, and without doubt he had an appreciation of what was in the child as a possibility. If we follow His example we will certainly accept as our chief task that of loving, pro tecting and directing the child so that he may be brought up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.--The Connie Maxwell. A PLEA FOR THE CHILD WELFARE LEAGUE We have seen many a parent exerting himself to the utmost to provide advantages for 2 child when the child did not want what the parent was try- ing to supply. It seems strange enough, and yet it is the very truth to say that the child is often not appreciative of the love and kindly thoughts of the parent. The truth is, a parent may be doing his possible best for a youngster who does not give co-operation, but on the other hand offers opposition. If the youngster could only be brought to realize that the father or mother is offering only what is best the child would of course respond to avail himsel! of every privilege. The child is in opposition because he does not really un derstand what the parent is trying to do, or else is unwilling for the moment to practice the self-denial that may perhaps be demanded in order that the best may be realized. The parent with his superior wisdom and his broad outlook is sure of what is best for the child. The little fellow does not hav the ability to get such a comprehensive view as the parent possesses, and he is therefore not only non-co-operative, but quite frequently antagonistic. remarkable way the situation of the Child Welfare s hody is doing the finest piece of child welfare work ar and near. The quality of ability of f the League is the finest that love o1 money could either of both provide. No organization on our continent has which this country can boast. It embraces the cortinent in its activity assembled such authoritative persons in any special field. The men and women employed by the League have been selected because of the high at- tainments they have reached in the field of child wefare. Every member of the staff is in full sympathy with the object of the League, which simply and briefly stated is to raise the standards for the care of dependent, delinquent deserted, or distressed children. The parable fits in League of America. and its workers travel long distances the workers employed on the staff It sounds so simple to say that the great single purpose of the League is to raise standards in the field of child welfare. Simple as it may sound how- ever one might throw out a broad challenge to all men to produce an object more difficult of realiz The little child has been neglected for so lone a time, and has been exploited by so many persons and by so many clas that many feel that almost “anything will do” for him. The plain but dis- agreeable truth remains that only a small proportion of the organized wor! done in this country for dependent children is of a high quality. The low quality of work that has been done has been tolerated only because the help- less child could not speak for himself and had no authoritative voice to be spokesman for him. Isn’t it a shame that it should be possible for one te say that in this favored land of ours the most of the work done for neglected or orphan children is of a second rate quality. or even poorer than that? W¢ insist that it is the truth to say that most of it has been poor in qual Now the Child Welfare League as stated above has entered the field for the express purpose of trying to raise standards. And the miracle is that i: attempting so praiseworthy a work the League has met many chstacles ané by no means the high encouragement that should have been accorded it. As a general proposition one would say that all childrens’ agencies would fairly tumble over each other to get into contact with the League, find ways by which work migtit be improved, and devote themselves heartily to the im- provement of all methods. Unfortunately this cannot be stated as a fact There are a number of agencies that in some cases happily it has been true. have been diligent to embrace every opportunity to secure further and better knowledge and raise standards. Alas, that such an attitude has not been pre- valent everywhe-~e. To go bac k to the little parable in the introductory paragraph, two rather recent experiences may be reported. One was at a conference and at the hotel a group of child placing people were discussing the League. It was an unspeakable surprise to hear criticism and antagonism. The drift of th ‘onversation was to the effect that it was impossible to raise standards at the present time, or to raise them at any time so high as the League argued for. These workers thought that they were doing very well indeed to handle as many children as were shown in annual reports. They felt that it would he impossible to secure additional workers. They were sure also that members of their constituency would not indorse effort to secure thoroughly trained workers at increased salaries to improve the work. Thev felt quite sure that it would be a pertectly impossible proposition to put on a staff large enough to pay visits to all children in their care with the frequency called for by the standards of the League. The discussion waxed almost unfriendly as one 07 another went to suggest that the members of the staff of the Child Wel fare League realize that a set of workers for children were so opposed to the bettering of conditions and the raising of standards..

That’s the children’s appetites are when they are on camp, as compared with the orderly little appetites that will only consume a way third of the weight of a boy or girl in a given period of time. When they are on camp, there is absolutely no bounds to it. During the week, there were consumed 150 pounds of wienies four crates of eggs; four hundred and eighty loaves of bread; six bushels of frish potatoes; about two acres of roasting ears; eighty watermelons; ten bushels of peaches, ete ad infinitum!

Greups are being arranged and the schedule prepared for the carrying on of school work; the other work of the place and football practice. Strange Say, practically every- body on the place is saying that they are anxious for school to commence. Isn’t that funny?

There has been rain here lately that it is too wet to do much work, About the first of August so it was too dry to do anything and now the moon fulls twice in August, so the grass will make a crop. yet. Crops were damaged badly during a storm that visited the campus on the 11th, laying corn flat, with water from hill to hill, and unusually strong winds that blew down heavy timber. The corn crop is at that stage where it im- possible to straighten, so about all we have to do now is repair work and grind barley with our new mill. That sure is a fine job for us on a rainy day. Last week three of our mules Cordy, Net and Nell decided they needed a short vacation so during the night, they broke out of the lot and took “French Leave.” Mr. Cavin changed his “Lizzy” for an Oakland, and now he looks like a million dollars. Mack Walton the flash who takes Earl Kerley’s place during the sum- mer was out to feed hogs last Sun day afternoon for the first in ages. Willard Ayers, our smallest boy tip ing the scales at fifty five gained two pounds last week eating watermelon William Billy MacKay received a letter from one of his girls, the one which lives in Troutman I think, and took a day off from work to answer it; watch out Bill. Last Tuesday Robert Templeton, a colored worker on our group found a wagon that only needed four wheels one bed and one pair of shafts to be complete. Robert Pittman, one of our dignifi seniors, has just recovered from an operation for appendicitis and is get- ting along just fine. We now have a new grain mill which saves ourselves of our weekly trip to the big city of Troutman. Bill MacKay went down to “West End” Monday, and my, but you ought to have heard him talking about the pretty girls down there at the peach packing plants. He surely did fall —along with “Pop” Lee. Mr. A. L. Brown, farm boss at Me- Donald Farm, came up the other day | and was accompanied by about half} of his family. We had a farm demonstrator here August 9th, who came up to hold a demonstration and show us how to hitch a string of mules to a heavy load and pull it with “tractor ease.” This was handled with six and eight mule teams. The interesting part of this was the swiftness connected with the hitches. Mr. Cavin has been sick for a short time. He is getting better now. Clinton Caudill, an old “customer” that used to work on the farm, came back to us the other day. He spent a short time with us. We sure- ly did enjoy him and hated to see him leave. see By the way, the Messr. Nesbits are building a rabbit cage. We are ex- pecting to eat rabbit meat this winter instead of hogs as heretofore.

We have had loads of watermelons this month and are still getting a lot of fruit. Three of our girls are leaving us to go to the Woman’s Building. One has already gone.

(Special to The Charlotte Observer) Statesville, Aug. 15—The damage to growing crops in Iredell by over- flowing streams during the past week has been variously estimated at from $10,000 to $300,000. The estimated loss to the farming interests does not include washing of land. 3asing his estimate on the value of the corn and cotton crops for the past year in Iredell county E. S. Millsaps farm agent for the piedmont district of North Carolina, figuring the cotton damaged eight per cent and the corn crop 25 per cent, said damage to the present crops would be around $300,- 000, instead of $10,000, as was estima- it’ ted by F.

Milking A Mule A farmer in Bean Hill township, Johnston county, had a very fine cow All at once she began to fall off in her |}mornings milk. The farmer could j not account for this, and began to in- vestigate. He found fresh tracks ar- ound the cow stall, he at once decid- ed that someone was coming in just before day and milking his cow. Now this farmer had a mule which had the | reputation of being the hardest kick- fer in all this section. The next night he placed this mule in the cow stall and put the cow in the mule 1. Now you bet your life that mule was always ready for business The farmer himself had never been in that mule’s stall at night. The farmer told his wife what he had done, and says listen out for any noise around the stables, something is going to hap- pen when my neighbor gets in there ind tries to milk that mule. Sure en- sugh about an hour before day the wife gave the farmer a punch and says go o the lot quick that old mule is kick- ng at something. Hurrying to the lot the farmer found one side of the stable kicked off, the mule out in the lot snorting and walking around, look- ng at a man’s hat and coat, a twe allon milk bucket and one shoe which were scattered around. Some days the neighbor’s wife told som ends that her husband was mighty vad off with rheumatism.—Charit) ind Children. OUR RECENT STORMS Since the last issue of this paper. ir state has been visited by a rather ere storm, and we thought at first hat the Orphanage was going to suf- fer directly very much on account of this. After the smoke and clouds had ‘leared away, however, we find that it Barium very little damage was lone. A few terraces broke over which alls for quite a bit of work to re- pair the damages. Corn was blown lown in the fields, but a little extra work straightened that part out. We ‘onsider ourselves most fortunate in not suffering any greater loss o1 lamage than this. Down in Robeson County on the VicDonald farm, conditions were much more severe. The cotton was blown flat. Water was standing in all the fields, above the cotton rows. Corn ind forage crops were flattened out isif a steam roller had been driven wross the fields. For a time it look- d like our hay crops were a total loss Sut a week’s sunshine put a very dif- ‘erent light on the situation; the cot on straightened up and cotton pick- ng showed that we had suffered very ittle damage in the cotton. The corn las straightened up somewhat and the forage crops are almost as straight as if the storm had not taken place. Not a single building was lamaged, and all in all, our damages at beth farms from this storm have een slight. This is another evi- fence, to our mind, that our endea rors to help ourselves at this great nstitution are peculiarly blessed by the Master.

There is more open weather in the fall of the year than any other time, and we certainly do enjoy the outdoor pleasures at this season, One of the greatest of these plea- sures in going to Davidson College to see the football games. played there. The Davidson College Ath- letic Association have for the past six years passed in as many Barium children as can come to the game; and we usually send a delegation of a hundred or more to each of the games played there. Nobody enjoys the games or are more enthusiastic rooters than our crowd. This year, we enjoy the games more than ever, because four of our boys are on the squad, and we are certain to find one xr two in action in every game. The opening game of the season his year when Davidson defeated Guilford, found a big crowd of our youngsters present enjoying the game. Then, there are our own football rames both at home and abroad. We lave played three, so far, this year; vinning one and losing two. One of hese was on the home grounds when ve defeated the Charlotte Observers ‘arriers. Then at Winston-Salem vith the Senior girls as our rooting ‘ection, we fought the Winston-Salem ligh School a hard but losing game. hen with the eighth grade girls as soosters we journeyed to Salisbury ind were defeated there by a small score. For the next three Fridays, ve have home games with everybody sacking us, and we intend to stop hat losing streak. All the fun, however, is not watch- ng our big games. The Midget Team layed Landis High School Saturday, . beautiful game; the final score be- ng 6 to 6. Saturday morning our inconquerable Mosquitos opened the eason against the Statesville Mites ind walked off with a victory of ‘1-0. If this crowd keeps on. they tre going to challenge the Navy or \rmy, one of these days. Of course none of them weigh over ‘05, but that doesn’t seem to make ny difference with them. This isn’t all of our football teams. synod Cottage has two full teams. Mf course they are so little that when hey put on a headgear and turn a- ound suddenly, sometimes the head- ‘ear stands still and they just turn iround under it, but nevertheless, ev- ry afternoon at three o’clock they tage a football game that has all the hrill of a big one. They are cer- ainly a classy bunch of fifty-pound- rs! A few of this crowd got in as ubstitutes on the last Mosquito ame. Just for fear you may think that ull of our pleasures run to football, here is a circus coming to town on Jetober the fourth, and this circus, as we know from past experience, will let our little chaps in free, and they eem to get as much fun out of this hing as if we were paying hard noney to get in. Annie Louise, synod, and part of Howard Cottage vill go to this cireus, and Thursday :fternoon, is going to be a high time 1 their lives. We used to think circuses were ust hardboiled, but our experience vith all of those that make Statesville s that they may be hardboiled in very particular but toward children n the Orphanage, they have at least me soft spot. ——P. 0.

On the truck farm, the beginning o! school happened to hit just at fruit canning time. We didn’t have enough fruit of any description this year to really do much damage, until commenced to ripen, and we can can pears just as long as the cans hold nut. This has taken up every bit ot extra time of the truck farm group.

These Char iotte boys are school boys, but do no! nave a chance to play on the regula Varsity squads; but if anybody think: chev are easy, they should try "em me time. They scored a touchdow: ym our team in two minutes, and ou ooys had to work mighty hard to wir oy a final score of 13-7. We have has two most interesting games betwee the teams of the smaller boys of the place. The first one was on Saturday September, %, between Jennie Gilme: boys and everbody else on the place. Jennie Gilmer won 12-0. The follow- ng Saturday, there was a game bet ween Lees and Alexander. In these games, Alexander has been winning as a rule; but this year Lees got her revenge with a final score oi 25-6. On that day that Alexander anc Lees played, the girls organized them- selves into two rooting sections, and and each class major to the noise they made, ons would jiave thought that Yale and Harvard were having their annual argument. On the day that we played Char- lotte, some friends connected wit! another school were down to see thi game, and took supper with us after- wards. The little girls that waited on the tables had tickets pinned tc their dresses, having just come fron starting on the fallithe game. One of these men asked what those tickets meant, and on be- _—_—————K—K[—_—_— ing told that they were season tic- kets that these little SUALLY Picnic Parties and ‘vis-| girls had its of large groups are confined bought, they had quite a bit to say almost entirely to the summer . ay about how much they wished their | months.

We have also made, since the last time we wrote news, the following: 140 sheets, 26 mattress covers, 50 laundry bags, 60 sheets, 18 aprons, 25 curtains, 250 pillow cases, 8 center pieces and remodelled 60 sheets. The five senior girls (with Mary Brown as chaperon) were honored by | going to Winston and seeing our boys play in their new jerseys first. They must have had something to do with their playing because they played well. The score was just an accident. Letha has been promoted after she has completed about ten unbleached sheets. Miss Clark told her to start on the bleached ones. Letha turned around to Maude Whitlow and said, “Huh, getting promoted.” In conclusion, Edna Jackins wants her name in the paper, and I find it a good addition to the jokes. Aux.

So many of the churches that wait watil this time to s apportionment for the year, makes our receipts dur this time suffic us carry over March 31st without any great rouble. We find, however, that our bruises and sprained joints typifying our unpaid notes in banks carried over from a previow year, trouble us at this time exceedingly. However, we take a brace and start in the long he avy grind from April the firsi to December the first. We have to forget everything but just our wind, because during these months there never comes in enough money to retire any old indebted- ness; and it takes very careful managemert to spread out that that does come in cover the absolutely necessary cash obligations. Usually about a third of the needed revenue of the Orphanage comes in during these months, When we struck the June hurdle thig year, we were panting badly. We needed a stimulant. We didn’t know-where-it-.aeteotiin® from, but the Second Presbyter Church in Charlotte, without any solicitation on our part, repeated something that they had done the year before and by a special collection in the Church and Aw ilary, sent us enough money to tide us over that very critical time. This heartened us up so that we managed to make the next two hurdles without great distress. Then the up-hiil started. Through September and October. This was such bad going that even the smaller hurdles of the week-end pay rolls we fc xtremely difficult. We could never have made it, but for the timely—-we might n help—-trom various sources. First, the First Church Durham answered one of appeals before they received it and sent us a check that b yosted us over one critical period. Then the First Church, Winston-Salem, helped us over. Then the If Church Charlotte, and now, as we write this, we are trying to make the rise for th last big hurdle of the year. nd as we are doing it ovr minds are on Thanksgiving and just what it is going to mean to us this year. t Diiferent sections of our country have different times of in-gathering. that strawberries are ripe brings to one section of the state its time of reli Peac! in another section means the feast of in-gathering. Then, cotton for a very large section, or wheat. These times mean that each particular section can rv joice in re- ceiving the result of their labor and in preparing to start the new year again. The ti: All of these rolled into one are something of what Thanksgiving means to us. At one time, no doubt, the Thanksgiving offering for the Orphanage was intended to be an over-and-above offerings to give to these Institutions, the opportunity to enjoy some of the thigs that might not be afforded at other times of the year. more and more to supplement the regular support of the Orphanage; and for reason, the receipts are quite often anticipated and used long before Thanksgiving comes. It means that that day has become a pay-up day. As the years have passed, however, this time of in-gathering has had to be used itutions Possibly this is all right and as it should be; that the main support of In of th.s kind should come from the iree-will thank offering of our people. There is this danger however, that did not exist when the Thanksgiving offerin.; was used for something additional. At that time if the money did not materialize, the Orphanage simply had to do without the particular thing or things for which the money would be used. At the present time, however, if the Thanksgiving offeria should not materialize, it would mean the immediate crippling of the Institution in a very v.tai manner. The danger of the Thanksgiving offer falling off to the point where it would fail to clear the old obligations of an institution, are very real. Not from any fail- ure in the interest or the generosity of the people supporting, but in simpiy being forgotten. Let us illustrate: A little child that I knew had a pet rabbit that she loved dearly. It was her delight to feed this rabbit and give it all of the attention that it could pos- sibly necd. ‘ihe rabbit had a most pleasant existence. But one day a Circue came to town; this little girl went to the Circus. She was very much excited over the Circus. She forgot to feed her rabbit. It happened that that night there was a very entertain- ing picture show that meant hurrying from supper to get to this picture show. The next morning lessons had to be up before breakfast in order to get to school Other things came up during. the and, While the aff 1 tion for this rabbit had not lessoned a particle, the rabbit was not fcd, and when the little girl finally got around to it, the rabbit was dead. We have the highest regard for the fa:thfulness with which our people over the en- tire State respond to the needs of this great Institution. We believe that that gener- ous att.tude toward ths great work is on the increase, but the world is so full of a num- ber of things, we have football, we have election, we nave a new model avtomobile com- ing out almost daily, we have flights across the Atlantic, we have air mail. There's just so many things to think about that we are so apt to forget and allow our duty t our Orphanage to go unfulfilied. We feel that our feeble voice raised at this time to bring this to your attention is so apt to be drowned out in the clamor of so many interesting things that are happening that it might not be heard. MAKE THIS THANKSGIVING CONTRIBUTION A REAL ONE! DON’T PUT IT OFF, with the idea in mind that another opportunity will arise later in the year for you to contribute.

That play is my little pet scheme, my only hope of making this year’s invincible Statesville team bite the dust.” (Statesville High School scouts of course will “try and do it.’’) Speaking of that Statesvile-Barium several times came to the] game next Friday, which has been looming on the football horizon for | months as the thing to remember! great events by, two-thirds of States- ville, all of Barium and half of Trout- man will want to see it. Statesville | has the best it has ever had and it is | no secret that the boys have made up their collective minds to lick Barium! and lick ’em bad, And yet, Barium! has the habit of taking this game and it looks like the best policy is not to believe anything you hear until you see it. | The lineup for the Concord-Barium | game follows: Barium (7) Concord (0) | Hudson Widenhouse left end M. Lee Furr left tackle OOOO LOTTIE WALKER § Second Floor EHH TRC OH Well, here we are at the beginning of the third month of school. We ars all going to try harder than ever t« make better grades this month and see if we can’t make the merit roll. Quite a few things have happened since our last news letter. First all we had a week end visit from Miss Ella Graham, a missionary from Korea, which we enjoyed very much She has been in Korea twenty-on years and expects to sail from San Francisco, Nov. 7, reaching her home oi ‘in Kwangju about Thanksgiving. We can hardly believe that States- ville beat us in the football game last Friday. It’s the first time in years and we mean it te be our last tim to be beaten by them too. We are to have another big game Friday, Oct. 19, with Lincolnton and we are hoping to be victorius. The freshman girls went down t« Salisbury to see Barium and Salis- bury play. We out yelled the Salis- bury High School, yet their boys beat us in the game. However our boys put up a mighty clean fight and if they don’t always win, they know how to lose with a good spirit. It’s timc to go to string beans so we will have to say goodby for the present. ———{]—_—_ MISCELLANEOUS GIFTS Statesville, Charles and Helen Carl- ton, 34 books for Library.

To include everything of interest in i connection with your Institution would make an article far too long to either be listened to or read and yet it is not easy to decide which matter leave out in a paper of this kind. In making our ri port he retofore, we have had to use largely our own est imate of condition this year for the first time, \ have three dif- ferent viewpoints to present to you As you know, the Duke Endowment gathers quite valuable statistics from all the orphanages of North and South Carolina. From them we get an esti imate of the work of this Institution comparing it with that of all other similar institutions in North and South Carolina. The General Assembly, this year, has completed a Survey of all the institutions of the Southern Presby- terian Church of an educational nature and from this we get an estimate or classification of the work of Barium Springs as compared with all othe: Southern Presbyterian orphep ages. The man selected by the Survey Committee to make the survey of the orphanages was a representative selected by the Child Welfare Leaguc of America. He is a man who is very familiar with orphanage work over the entire United States and for our own benefit he prepared a comparison of our work using the best practices overing the entire country. Therefore, in this give you the results measurements by thes ticks. Taking the first yardstick, that of the institutions of North and South Carolina. Each of you members of th: Board have no doubt received commu lications from time to time from the Duke Endowment giving you fig ures about our work. The Duke End- ywment has classified the orphanages nto twe groups-- Those of more than 150 population maintaining their own schools of which there are ten—five North Carolina and in South Car sina. These ten are: Thomasville; Winston Methodist; Raleigh Meth.. Ixford and Baxjuin Springs in North Carolina. Thornwell; Connie Maxwel!: Epworth; Delow Howe and Charles- con Orphan House in South Carolina. The figures yw that these ten or- yhanages run very closely together is far as expenditures are concerned. The total per capita support varying ess than ten cents a day difference vetween the highest and the lowest Barium Springs is not the lowest. vut well below the average; there yveing just a fraction of a cent dif- ‘erence between Barium and Thorn- vell in South Carolina. The Duke Endowment has not vet ittempted to pass on the quality of work done or any criticism of plant xr equipment. As it happened, how- ever ,we have received unofficial praise ‘rom the officials of the Duke En- lowment on the quality of our work ind the quality of the products ot Barium Springs. Using the comparison as furnished yy the Survey of the Southern Pres- report, we can of Barium’s three yard i mh yyterian Orphanages, you will not m page S85, table 36 of the Report f the Su that Barium Springs Ss more nearly standard as far as “quipment concerned, (taking inti onsideration its size) than any of he orpha: s. It is below stand- lard in income more than Thornwell Orphanage Two of the eriticisms made of th: Orphanage Work in general of th: whok Southern Church was the here was apparently not enough ef- ‘ort made for adequate case work and possibly as result the promiscuous eceiving of children of other denom nations had resulted in an over large surden for our church to carry. Also ‘nother criticism was the failure to tively co-operate with all other wencies for child relief. A study of page 68, table No. 17 f the Survey, will disclose the fact hat Barium Springs has a larger vercentage of Presbyterian parentage han any orphanage of the Southern Assembly, except Lynchburg, and that it has been one of the pioneers in putting on case work. We have endeavored to co-operate fully with the child placing agencies f our state, and the Mothers’ Aid program of the state, and all other recognized agencies working for the relief of dependent children. Some- times in carrying out this program. we run contrary to the opinions and desires of many of our supporters. We are more than willing to even a larger extent’ co-operate with these agencies if our supporting constitu- ncy will allow it. We might illustrate this with a number of instances where the church ind community making application to the Orphanage will become so firmly convinced that the children ought to come here even before communicating with us, that any sugestion from us ‘ye OF mee OCTOBER &, I later that it is a better case for Moth 1 Aid or child placing. is received with disfavor. There e been oc- ind have been instru nenial in securing a pronuse of Mott s’ Aid, and then hav the ap- plicant to fail to co-operate in wo ng out this plan. In measuri.g us by the yardstick of the nation as a whole,we find that we are below standard as compared with the best practices in the opinion f the Child Weifare League of Ame? ica in having too many chiidren to a lormitery. Thi is particular § regard to the boys’ evttage is 1 matter that has been pointed out rom time fo time to the Board.

Our practice is to kiil two hog: week from the first of October untii the first of April. These hogs worked up entirely into sausage eaten immediately. In addition a tr this, we kill quite a number of hogs and cure the meat.

School spirit can not be compelled; it is born of a desire to belong and grows, if nur- tured, into a sturdy allegiance. School spirit prevents rebellion which is often only the aimless kick- ing against established law and order. School spirit mercilessly condemns the student who lingers on the edges of a pep rally and looks on with amu sed boredom. School spirit singles out the toafer with unmistakable truth. School spirit animates those who are languid. School spirit subordinates the pet- ty concerns of individual students and unites all students in an effort to make their school a significant force. School spirit is dynamic, not static. School spirit is courage, not coward- ice. School spirit is activity that is in- |spired by an ideal.--Greenville (S. C.) | High News.

Ist, 1929 Merry Christmas PUBLISHED BY THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ VOL. VI. BARIUM SPRINGS, NORTH CAROLIX 4 Football | on a | Here Are The Boys That Toted Our Colors This Year Our 1828 football season is at a} ease a up in a blaze of | ¥ glory for somebody on Wearn Field in| Charlotte on Thanksgiving ofternoon. Looking back ever the season we find t t hat our record is just a little bit spot- ed. We played some magnificent football, but in other games showed up slow and weak. Our record is not me to be ashamed of at all and vet it lacks the consistency of former} “S | We do not think the team was en- | tirely to blame for this as there were | only a few games in our schedule where the first string were in shape | for hard play. There were ten games on our sch- } edule, with the results indicated below. We reached the peak of our form gainst Concord and Statesville, and were at the low ebb against Belmont Abbey. Although for individual play- ing the Belmont Abbey game was in a class by itself. The individual play- | ing was better in the Abbey game, but the team played worse. A glance at the score will prove that football is a game for teamwork rather than for individual playing. The team has heen faithful in training and in fore- going numbers of pleasures that stri training bars. Many a moving picture show had to be passed up and this was done most cheerfully by the members of the team. Three of our players sang their swan song in th« i Belmont Abbey game and will be sore- ly missed when we start our 1929 season. And were it not for the fact} that the Mosquitoes and Midgets are | developing new material every year we would look to our next season with some apprehension. The Midget team had a disastrous eason. Only winning one game and| ieing two. But it must be taken into | consideration that this team very{ seldom ever gets to practice as a team. It is made up of substitutes of the | Varsity and does duty as a door mat, so to speak, for the Varsity to pract- ice their plays on. A good scrub team | is necessary fer a good varsity and | their devction is of the kind that gets no recognition and we take off our hats to our Midgets, even thorgh they lost more games than they won. The Mosquitoes tell a different tale. They have continued their victorious mar and their otherwise perfect season is marred by only one scoreless tie against the Winston-Salem Wiggle Tails. In this connection we note with gra- tifictaion that a number of other scho have gone seriously into the| business of getting out a 100 Ib. foot- ball team. This not only means en- larged schedule for every one but it means proper recognition of these youngsters in their sincere to play this glorious game. We | can say truthfully that no person has | ever been disappointed when they have made the effort to come and see one of these Mosquito games. Whenever these games are played in a ' j | t | $1 with a larger game before a large crowd it | won extravagent praise. is getting people to The difti come out e these smaller games The only injury we have ever had | happen to one of our Mosquito players happened this year to our flashy little captain, Cha irlie Sears, who sprained | an ankle which kept him out of the last four games of the season. T} Mosquitoes know football They nty of courage and they display marvelous team work. All they lack is size and if rations hold out mayby some of them will be seen on the Varsity next year. All in all we take off our hats to the members of our three teams, their eaptains, and coaches and wish them a well earned rest with a feeling that | they have done their duty nobly during | this last season. 3efore we get off the subject of | football there is a glimmer of a hope that before many months something may start towards a football field for Bariun where we can stage our games without handicap to players or discomfort to spectators.

I » Squires is getting good—but lys business what shes good { EXPLANATION: _The revenue from the churches needed for the ar- phanage for the year amounts to $107, 000—an average $1.50 -per church member, or 12% cents per month. This table shows each month the con- tributions by the Presbyteries and how far behind or ahead they are on this schedule. The last column shows for comparison the standing a year ago. This does not mean that only $1.50 is expected from any member, but is used in reporting on large groups like a Presbytery. A comparison of last year’s table with this brings on a feeling of con- sternation. We find that we received three times the amount of money dur- | ing November last year that we did| this brought on al this year. Ar rather panicky feeling for fear that ng response was just a third of lent year, However, on consulting the calendar we believe we know the reason. Last year Thanks- giving came on November 24th, five days earlier than this vear and these f s meant that thousands dollars o Thank were received vy will, no doubt, this year come in during the coming week, but they will be credited on De- cember receipts. After noting this our hearts did start to beat again and we ¢ looking forward to receivins not onl 2,000 that we are short |} as ce mpared with last November, but Statesville | 7, Mooresville | | also the full amount w ich we receis year so that we t ed in December last will end the year or » same basis, at least, the last year. There has been no year yet in our experience when we received more expressions of good ll ll and encour- agement than we have received during these last few months. we dl And we know that this feeling of good will means that our church will express that good will in their financial help. Also there has never been a year when a larger number of Barium Springs old boys and girls, that have gone out into the world and are now making their living, have responded in a financial way to the work of this place. We send out in the November Mes- enger a Thanksgiving contribution envelope. These have fallen into the hands of Barium Alumni everywhere and the results have been most en- couraging and gratifying. Chis table for the month is not as interesting, however, as it was last year. We hope that the December table will make up in action what this one lacks and if on reading this one you are disappointed take time to question yourself and see if its lack of action is at all due to anything that you have forgotten. ing contributions | aaeeanueaacuanaeeauceaueeaceeauesteenaneatcnnatecatt Sara Coates Lottie Walker sine 9 has quit gold digging t for platinium. low has sore e} from ist FLOOR cing a o-and-so’s picture you : ‘ +, | snow who we mean—J.

Intermed Miss Laura Gray Green Music Miss Rachel Hanna Kindergarten THE LAW OF KINDNESS kindly Text—“Be affectioned one to another with brotherly love.” Rom. | 12:10. Kindness is love in action, love en- lightening the world love rescuing | the perishing, relieving the distressed lifting the fallen, helping the weak, and scattering the sunshine of good cheer far and wide. To be kind is to be Christlike. To be kind is to make happiness. And to be kind is to win foes, make friends, and hold them with cords of steel. Let us first take notice that Kindness Is Christlikeness The coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh was a gigantic outburst of heavenly kindness. The apostle speaks of the event when “the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared.” The Earthly life of Jesus was a gentle and powerful outflow of kindness. He breathed kindness in the gracious messages that came from His lips. His miracles of healing and uplift were kindnesses of superlative value. In His death He set forth the supreme act of loving kindness. In His resur- rection kindness blossomed into grac- ious life. In His ascension kindness soared to the skies. When King David was fully est- ablished in the kingdom he became mindful of his covenant with Jonathan and was anxious to live up to that covenant. “And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul that I may shew the kindness of God unto him?” And he sought out Mephi- bosheth, the son of Jonathan, and made him his lifetime friend and guest in his palace. How kingly it is to be kind to the unfortunate! It is the royal tread of large-hearted ones who aspire to kin- ship and fellowship with the divine. It is living over again the life of Jesus. It is making luminous once more the footsteps of the Nazarene. In the next place Kindness Makes Happiness There are degrees in the exercise of kindness. There is natural kindness that all are impelled to show to their kin. Even the birds and brutes are kind in this respect. There is the reciprocal kindness, the swapping of favors bestowed. It operates on the plan that you tickle me and I will tickle you. There is the self-seeking method of being kind, in which a per- son may have an axe to grind, an ulterior end to be gained, or a private grudge to be avenged. And there is kindness that has no other motive but the present and highest well-being of the recipient. Kindness, like blessed it blesses him that takes.” of kindness gets giving, “is twice him that gives and But the performer more real joy out of the act than the receiver. For it is written, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Kindness is a smile-maker. For kindness is clad in theroseate garb of a smiling countenance, comesbound- ing from a smiling heart, makes way through smiling lips,is dispensed by happy hands, and travels far and near on swiftmeving feet. What a happier world this would be if every plodder was a dispenser of kindness, if every word was a wing- ed vehicle of kindness, if every deed was a kind one, and if the cheif and most constant business of this planet was to make others happy! In the last place Kindness Is The Best Winning Card Our world is full cf misunderstand- ing, prejudice, enmity, and sin. Misery that flows from these is un- told. The heartaches and heartbreakes caused by them are unnumbered. They hurl cruel shafts that smite down millicns to the dust. They make countless thousands mourn. But kindness has the power to mak« this wilderness of woe to blossom as the rose. Kindness will win the sin- ner to better life, clear away misun- derstandings like mists before the morning sun, drive prejudice back to its demon abode, and transform en- mity into radiant and lasting friend- ship. May God hasten the day when kind- nes shall win its full quota of tri- umphs, when all evil shall be over- some with good, and when the love of Jesus shall rule in every heart and life. “And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.”—The Word of Life. foicin ice Artificial Sun Makes Night Work on Farms Possible The development of tthe electric light is making things lighter for the farmer of the United States. The use of electricity is now being adopted as a means of enabling th« farmer to work by night as well as by day. The work of plowing and “disking” the fields as a preliminary measure of planting is ofttimes slow and tedious, especialy if there be wet weather. Now, however, many enterprising farmers are overcoming that difficul- ty by using the night time for the same work that formerly could be done only during the day. Tractors carrying automobile lights are now a common sight on farms, plowing and “disking” the fields by electric light at night. The result is earlier planting and a better crop yield. Searchlights are also being used, not only for lighting but for supplying artificial sunlight to hasten the growth of plants. Thus plants that normaly bloom only in Spring or Summer can be forced to bloom in the dead of winter, in greenhouses, of course, with sun- light provided by powerful lamps. —Mooresville Enterprsie.

The other day Eula Lee Walton said o Pearl Bostian, “would you have the audacity te deubt my veracity or dare © insinuate that I would prevaricate without a cause?” Pearl said, “say it in our language, { want to learn it.” The last game on our field was played Thursday, Nov. 15, with Har- nony. Of course we won, the score veing 13 to 7. Pear] Bostian has at last learned the shird verse of “Show me the Way to zo Home”. It goes this way “Once a pig, although quite big, ete.” She s very fond of this and is always singing it; if you don’t believe it just pass the laundry some day. We were delighted to have with us Sunday, Mr. Beattie from Davidson College to preach for us. We cer- tainly did enjoy his sermon and hope he will come again soon. We are all sorry that Mr, Brown is sick but we hope he will soon be well. All the second floor girls and some of the first floor girls went tu States- ville last night to hear Mr. George Stephens preach and hope we can go again soon.

It must have been one of those economic dairies that I read about in the paper that Cousin Sue brought from the city this fall. Who are those men running across the field? The players. They sure must be cruel—they are so big. Gee, look at their large shoulders. ture with the big telescopes must be *razy to jump around so much. Why lon’t the men in the yellow shirts be nice and go over and talk with the purple shirts? So the captains are zoing out to sign a treaty. Oh, those heathens are going to match for money, out there before everybody! They must have not agreed as both went back and got ten men. Uncle Will let’s get a club and go get in the fight. Those dreadful pur- ple men got mad and kicked that big brown egg at the yellows. The man in yellow caught it and I’m glad, ‘cause I like yellow better than any other color. Look, they’re up again, and walking around instead of fight- ng. What makes those men in white keep blowing that whistle so much? They are too bossy. The drown egg must be getting in the way as nobody wants it. They must be tired, because the lit- ‘le fellow with the big spyglass is yel- ling, “Fifteen chairs for the team.’ Why can’t they sit on these soft nice benches with us? Oh, they’re leaving the field to tell secrets. This man next to me says ‘hat big man is yellow. He must be *olor blind—the big man has on a purple shirt. I'll bet they are num- ‘ered so none of them can sneak off. Somebody has caught them. Here they come back. This ole talkative nan says the team that wins today gets the cup. All of them ean’t drink ut of one cup—so why are they ‘ighting over it? ———P. 0. H. Manhood In Flower How and when can we come to our best selves? What are the elements ind whence are the forces that move us to our highest and noblest attain- nents? The centuries and the con- tinents seem to join in the efforts. Many elements are at work fore- shadowing the better recognition of the universal order in which the indi- vidual comes to full flower. Men have crossed the continents and sailed beyond the horizons of every land un- 4il the nations-are coming close to- gether. The Ganges and the Missis- sippi are not far apart. The inhabi- ants on the banks of each are found to be much alike when once men go »elow the skin. They are all just folks of like passions and aspirations. The one with philosophies centuries Ad yield to the same gospel as does the cther with no philosophy. More than that: the Hindoo has much to learn from the Anglo-Saxon, and the boastful American can get something from the introspective In- dian. Then, too, the reflex good com- ing to those laboring for the less for- tunate is always of surpassing worth. No man can live to himself in this world that we live in now; neither can he reach his best by himself in any world. The recluse is an abnormal man carrying most of all that he has into his isolation with him unable te achieve much in his solitude. He owes more to the society left behind than he ever can give in return, just as ‘very man in North Carolina today owes more to the state and to the church than he can ever hope to pay back, notwithstanding the oft heard outcry about high taxes and the many demands of the church. We forget that we are members one of another in a most real and _ vital way and that by our contracts we reach the full flower of life.—Chris- tian Advocate. TEAMWORK A minister was horrified one Sun- day to see a boy in the gallery of the church pelting his hearers in the pews below with horse chestnuts.
