There has been so much rain lately that we have had some trouble keeping terraces in good condition. We also have not been able to gather as much Jespadeza seed as usual because of wet ground. The farm is planning to change its system of soil erosion control in the future, by combining sub- soiling and terracing. Some — soil specialists say that neither is suf-! ficient within itself. | | after having some good warm weather. In one or two weeks we are going to make our tomato beds so we can plant tomatoes early. Many of the boys do not come to work very often because of basketball and wrestling practice, and some have been sick from hav- ing their tonsils taken out. We hated to go back to work Christmas holideys but we are used to it now and don’t mind going. This is all we have to say this time so we'll be seeing you next month. BABY COTTAGE Hello Everyone! What did Santa Claus bring you? He brought us lots and lots of toys and fruit and candy. Wish we could see him sometime and | Help Others Wilmington, N. C. December 24, 1936 Dear Sir: I teach a Class of Junior boys at the Delgado Presbyterian Church. Those boys always want to «co something to help others; in fact, our motto is, “Help Others”. This is what we do. I bought a bank at the dime store and I take care of the bank all through the year. We take it to our Class each Sabbath morning and after the regular Offering is taken we pass the little bank around and each of the boys drops in pennies, nickles or dimes. That is done each Sun- day in the year. No one, not even the teacher, knows how much is in the bank. We always open the little bank on the Sunday before Christmas. We take it to our class room, cpen and the boys get a big kick counting the money. Then, they it We have done that for two years. Before that, we had used it to help a family, but this family is now able to take care of itself and does not expect assistance. So, we decided to always send it to the Orphanage. We hope other Classes will use our plan. Sincerely yours, MRS. C. C. MYERS, Teacher. The above was received with the request that it be published in The Messenger, the Junior Boys of that Class believing that what they are now doing will inspire similar groups. The gift that has been received has been $4.00 each year. This is a similar plan to that followed by Fountain Sunday School - not merely one Class, but the entire body. A Birthday Box was placed in the Sunday Schoc] on the first Sunday in January and was opened the Sunday fol- lowing Thanksgiving. Considerable curiosity had been engendered as to how much it contained, for no- body had deigned to open it throughout the whole year. When it was opened in November, the ac- cumulation ofpennies, nickles, dimes and other change amounted to $14.25. thank him but I guess he has too! much to do.

It is far enough frem the end of school so that all of the seniors can get the benefit of this last check-up, and it is far enough from the beginning of school to include all the new-comers after they have been here several months when we can realiy see whether living at Barium is beneficial to them.

This | year it showed the need of 26 ton- | sil operations; seven nose opera- |tions, 16 eye examinations, 12 ichildren for immediate dental j work, 13 children were examined especially by a doctor from the tubercular Sanatorium and there are any number of special cases for individual attenticn, Now, that examination is over, but the things that that examina- tion recommended still have to be done, and unless they are attend- ed to in January, so often they are never attended to, and that is ene of the big jobs coming at this time of the year. And then, there is just one other |thing that seems to apply _ this year. We don’t know whether it is the weather or what. Maybe the long-continued cloudy and foggy weather that seems to hang over North Carolina has made people more despondent and _ hopeless. Something is certainly causing 1n unusual number of distressing applications to come to us at this time. It seems strange that at a time when businesses are raising pay voluntarily and_ declaring bonuses to stockholders (in addi- tion to dividends) when the reports that the income from farms _ is more than it has been in years; when the outlook for prosperity in every line of endeavor seems to be reaching a peak, that there should be this increased number of distressing situations; and yet, such is the case. Every application that has come |to us recently demands _proimpt A total of 655 organizations in | S. S. Meals Sunday Schools in the Synod of North Carolina regularly sent the Orphanage $1,632.85 during the month of December, which makes a grand total of $12,605.95 that has come to Barium from that source during the first three quar- ters of 1936-1937. The latter sum is exactly $1,423.65 more than was sent to the Orphanage in the same period of 1935-1936. As a matter of fact, the Sunday Schools almost gave as much in nine months this year as was sent in the first ten months of the year before. On the basis of ten cents a meal (the cost is considerably less than that) the folicwing meals could have been served for the past three years: Month 34-35 °35-’36 °36-’37 April 6,218 4,840 8,589 May 10,659 10,948 11,049 June 9501 13,178 14,694 July 12,753 18,664 16,554 Aug. 8,762 10,429 11,006 Sept. 14,366 13,166 16,620 Oct. 13,104 19,953 18,811 Nov. 9,641 12,521 12,407 Dec. 17,510 13,114 16,328 Jan. 11,200 10,070 ?

All of this makes us seem |discourteous and impolite in fail- ing to personally acknowledge the jmany gifts and other communica- |tions that have come to us_ indi- vidually at Christmas. Just don’t get impatient with us, or think that we are the least bit ungrateful. We are not. If you have any doubt about your pack- age having reached us, write and we will look the matter up and let you know, but do not expect us to acknowledge each individual gift or card, Every one of the cottage news letters reveal the fact that this has been the grandest Christmas ever, and you have helped make it so. We wish there was some kind of telepathy, for you to feel our gratitude, and to share our pleasure. Christmas Fund MISCELLANEOUS Mr. & Mrs. J, R.

C., FEBRUARY 1937 NO. 5 | Teeth - Toes - Tonsils | | The Body Service Department. | In case you don’t know what we are talking about, it’s the | Infirmary and the various activities that grow cut of it. Doctors have called their hospitals by various names, one very celebrated hos- pital going by the name of “Hotel For Convalescents.” Our Infirm- ary at Barium Springs is that, too, but is far more than that; it is | more like a modern service station for automobiles, where cars are given a periodic check-up and heavy repairs averted machine in good shape at all times. Our Infirmary is in charge of Miss Una Moore, the dean of the staff of workers at Barium Springs. Miss Moore is not and yet, we can’t help but believe that she hums a tune under her | breath - the tune of “River Stay "Way From My Door;” only she says “Pneumonia Stay "Way From My Door.” And she has sung this song to such good effect that but one case of pneumonia has showed up un- der Miss Mcore in the last four years, and we have had our share of flu and bad colds. Now, to the actual work of the Infirmary. There are 36 beds in this department for patients. The staff is composed of Miss Moore, the nurse, and Miss Lackey, the housekeeper. As assistants, there are four high school girls who help keep the house in order and wait on the patients. There is a fifth-grade boy to do all the other jobs about the place. Now, in the course of a year, a good many children go | to the Infirmary cn account of sickness. It may be just a bad cold; | it may be severe indigestion; it may be something serious. A typi- cal year shows that there are around 1,200 “patient days” taken care of during the year, or an average of between three and four children every day. by keeping the | This sounds like a good many, and vet it is the smallest part of | the work of this department. Here is where that comes in. When new children come to the Orphanage they are checked over very care- fully at the Infirmary. They are weighed, measured and thx roughly examined by our doctor Then once a year, every child at Barium is carefully weighed, measured, and these are compared with those oi the previous year. They are carefully gone over by our doctor who makes recommendations about things that should be done. For instance, in our last examinations, 22 children showed up with bad tonsils that needed to be removed, 12 had bad teeth, and 20 others needed special attention in one way or another. At the same time that this examination was going on, a doctor from the Sanator- ium checked over the children for tuberculosis, and made his recom- mendations for any that might need speciai care A number of chil- dren were referred to a specialist for more complete examination for some particular thing. For instance, one boy, after our last examina- tion, was sent to Charlotte for a_ special examination by a_ bone specialist, and is receiving hospital treatment there. Our last examination showed that 14 children had not grown suf- ficiently during the year, or are under weight, and these are now on al special diet and treatment to correct this. The results of this special | treatment are checked up on every 30 days, and then, of course, a/| final wholesale check-up cn the entire Orphanage family 12 — later. It is always an interesting thing when a school holds an examina- tion to see how much knowledge the children have packed into their | brain-boxes over a period of time; and in the same way, it is intensely | Special Gift Is Now $50,722.16 LATEST THANKSGIVING REPORT GIVEN FEB.

The latest fes- tive occasion was a “home” affair, in that it was limited to the local gladiators, and a few friends from : —— Statesville, Treutman and David- son. During the banquet it was an- nounced that Dave Spencer had been elected captain of the 1937 eleven, and a captain’s certificate Was awarded to the newly elected leader by Clyde Johnson, who cap tained the 1936 performers. It was also announced that a New York friend had given a trophy, to be on |permanent display and en which would be engraved the name o the player who was voted the most valuable to the team each season. Claybourn Jessup, center last fail, was accorded the honor of selection for 1936. A popular meeting of the Men- of-the-Church of Concord Presby- tery was held at Barium in Jan- uary, with an attendance of aroun '130 men. The night was rainy and disagreeable, and the attendance under those circumstances was |extraordinary. Prior to the popular session there was a called meet- ing of Concord Presbytery, which jfavorably acted upon a request |that the pastoral relations between Rev. S. B. Hoyt and the Bethpage 'Church be dissolved. The Bethpage | Church has advanced to the point where it can suppert a full-time |pastor; hence, this request. Mr. Hoyt continues as pastor of the Gilwood Church. |great number that were in respective territories from which teams were admitted. March 12th is the date that has been set for the annual dinner at Barium fcr the Civic Clubs of Iredell County—the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs of Mooresville, and the Lions, Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs of Statesville. Plans for a program are already in the pro- cess of being worked out. The members of these clubs, and their guests, are uniform in saying that this is an occasion that is looked forward to with keen delight. The clubs pay for their plates at Barium, just as they would pay for them at their hotels or where- ever the regular luncheons or din- ners are served.

Coach Doc Newton, formerly of the Davidson College coaching staff, but more recently selected as head coach of N. C. State, visited the Orphanage one night in January, and royally entertain- ed everybody here with moving pictures of several of the football games played by Davidson this fall. Quite a number of the spec- tators had actually seen the gam+s at Davidson, or the one in Char- |lotte, and vividly reealled some of the stirring scenes. It was a treat, and it was appreciated.

Letter Received | From Australia Editor’s Note: For some years, Mr. Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent of the Orphan- age at Barium Springs, and J. C. Butler, superintendent of the Melbourne (Australia) Or- phanage, have been exchanging letters. Just recently a com- munication came from Mr. Butler. It is felt that ail that was written will be of inter- est to readers of The Mes- senger. Mr. Butler’s letter is therefore reproduced below: Mr. Jos. B. Johnston Presbyterian Orphans’ Home Barium Springs, N. C. 0. 8.46 Dear Mr. Jolinston, t is a long time since I received your last letter, and equally long since I wrote you. I definitely owe you an apology, as I was deeply interested in your letter and the printed matter which you sent me, and it was of rea] value to me. I am writing to let you know that I have used the information which you supplied (especially the “Case-work” pamphlet) good advantage, and have been able persuade my Committee that the appointment of a Case Worker is essential to the work of the Or- phanage, and such an appointraent | has now actually been made. I am quite sure that the effici- ency of our work is going to be greatly increased thereby. In addition, I am sure that you will be interested to learn that I have used your literature in secur- ing the establishment of a medical elinic, This has elready ved of | immense value, and I want to say how much I appreciate your assist- ance in this direction. Thus you will see that your in- fluence is extending far beyond the limits of your own State, and | I am still hoping that some day LO to mre pee SYNOD OF NORTH CAROLINA, of the State of Nerth Caro- i | we shall be able to discuss all these and interest at first hand. We hear from time to time of| Conferences of Social Workers | being held in various States | throughout America. Are the addresses which are gi en at these conferences ever pub- lished in pamphlet or book form, and if so, would it be possible for you to send me any of them? I would gladly defray any expense incurred by you in this direction, and fee] sure that I would gather a fund of useful information from them. Your remarks regarding the ex tension of your age limit to 18 years interested me greatly, } it occurred to me that whilst possibly the extra two years ‘which you give your boys and girls is of great value to them, at) the other end of the scale you may | be actually depriving some young children of food and shelter oi which they may be in dire need. You will understand that this is not written in criticism of your work, but merely as a friendly commentary, as the above wculd be the position with us if we ex- tended our age limit, We can only accommodate 160, and unless we place our children out at 16 or earlier, we find ourselves having to refuse deserving cases. We send such cf our boys and girls as shew special mental ability to High School, but the per- centage very small, only five out of 160 at present. I don’t know whether we get a poorer type of child than you do, | is but usually the children that come | that we are ccming to accept with | t. us are so backward both phy- sicelly and mentally because of | arly environment, poverty, neglect, | foljow our young friends and stand | t0 ‘ete. that it takes years to bring ‘them up to ncrmal standard, and despite ell the advantages that we are able to give them, the major- ity are docmed to remain “hewers | lof wood and drawers of water” all | their lives.

We are coming to recog nize the responsibility more keen- y than we have been accustomed -sagd ass matter November 15, 1923, at the postoffice 4, qo. It relates to the obligation the act of August 24, 1912. Acceptance we have of trying to fit our young people for life. Years ago the prob- lem was not so acute and we did not have to carry them so far as it is necessary to do today. They could go out with insufficient training and find some way to get along. Many jobs offered and it was not necessary to have so much skill te meet the competition that faced a beginner. The situation is changing, or in- decd has already changed and we now realize how insufficient for a boy or girl is the preparation for life we are able to offer them at the Orphanage. Think for a mo- ment of the situation of the full graduate of a college. In_ recent years we have seen how difficult it is fur a young man or woman, graduate of a college and some- times even a graduate of a univer- sity, to secure a self-supporting job and go right to work at it.| This very problem is being much | discussed by the college authorities | these days. They are putting their| eyes to the microscope to examine | every point in order to see what) they can do to improve their cours- es of study so that a graduate may ‘cope wth the necessities that will w face him on leaving the college walls. We like to talk about fitting our | other matters of mutual) children for life, but it has come | to pass that a graduate of the eleventh grade is not fitted for ¥ decent and normal place in life. The institutions realize the respon- spiritual and cultural training, but as for the technical part they feel their insufficiency. The truth is, our children are only children after they finish the work we have fo: them in the average Orphanage school. The practical side of this subject relates to the service we are able} +o render after we have done our best at the institution for them. The necessity of following them up in a sympathetic way is so obvious that it could not be debated. If we are not efaipped to follow a) boy cr girl, we ought to get in position to do so. We are finding | that often a young person falls | down in the first job that he takes or in the first relationship that is made for him, business or other- wise. With the first failure, there is probably a degree of discourage- ment too. Most of the young people who leave us are without parents and without competent and sympz- thetic advisers. It is different from a young person in an average home going out into a new situation. If we are going to complete our service in behalf cf a young per- on, we must follow him. Experience | has brought us the fact that some- times even two or three changes | have to be made before a satis- factury adjustment is secured. This, then, is the responsibility a new sense of appreciation. If we are to fulfill our mission, we must by them until they can come to a sense cf security. ing positions for them. With this I am sending you a copy of my 1936 Annual Report. I am not prcud of it from a “pre- paganda” standpoint, but as an appeal to the public is not neces- sary to our work from a financial standpoint, my Committee con- siders that a bald statement of facts is all that is necessary. However, it will give you an idea of cur work. Your description of your parti- cular section of the United States makes me feel very anxious to visit you.

It is so muddy we hate to get out of the house. Mama MceGirt and Aunt Lilly McGirt spent week-end before last at home. Mama went to see her grandson and we wondered why she didn’t bring him back. She probably forgot him! Huh? We are very proud of two of our ovs, Herbert Good and Curtis Bald- win, whe have recited the Child’s Catechism. We have a number of others who will soon be ready to recite. Mama treated the boys who recited the Catechism by taking them to the show and out to sup- per. They seemed to enjoy it very much. We are having lots of amuse- ments now, such as basketball and wrestling. | We have just ended the month of school and have three more months to go. We have had lets of company lately. Douglas Davis’ mother came and also Essie Jean Lee’s mother. The mother of Helen Price, one of our big girls, has also paid her a visit. We are glad to have Jackie illiams to come and live with us. | We are trying to make him feel ‘as much at home as is possible. —The Babies INFIRMARY Tonsil patients and more tonsil | patients for the last two weeks! | When we came to the end of fifth only sibility of putting in everything the story there had been 22 who yv-|that they can in the way of mcral. pave had them taken out.

Mr. Deaton did not | forget to bring many things dear | to a boy’s heart. Jean Fletcher, one of the tonsil patients. had a call from her mcth- er on Saturday. The jonquils are blooming in the flower garden and many flowers are in bud. We are hop- ing that a late frost does not get them, as they did last vear. While hunting for the kitten in trouble the other day we ran up against Grace Caytin and that gave the mew away. She may be- come as famous as Leo Carrillo That is the way he began his ap- pearance on the stage. Ground hog or no ground hog, we are glad to see one bright sunny day as we have today, February 2nd.

We've been pretty busy this is now in full swing. Our boys and girls have both played three of their conference games with on!y one loss fer the boys and a tie for the girls. Both loss and tie were with Hickory and we hope to do better tomorrow night when we get them down here on our cwn court. Our boys played a most exciting game the other night with Moores- ville in which three extra periods were used to play off a tie. We finally won by one pcint. Everyone seems to be taking their studies a little more serious- ly since Christmas and we are leoking forward to some _ high grades this month. Our schoo! menth ends today and we only have three more months. When we think of the short time we j have left it makes us think more seriously of our school work. Miss Andrews, our Young Peo- ple’s leader, entertained some of our girls in Charlotte about two weeks ago for having the best pro- gram in our meetings. They all re- ported a very good time which fact seemed to make some of the others wake up and take more in- terest. Except for a few colds all our girls seem to b: pretty well.

We have shelled about six bushels and if that isn’t enough, just let us know. If the weather stays fair long enough we are going to fix some seed beds for spring plants.

Since our last letter to you many things have happened. We have had wrestling matches and basketball games for enter- tainment for a good while. Our last wrestling match was’ with Davidson Wreshman class. The sccre was 33 to 5 in our favor. The last basketball game we had was the eighth grade team play- ing with Stony Point. Sallie Farm- er, one of our girls, played on the team. Yesterday our varsity play- jed in the tournament at Lexington. |Our girls’ team won and will go ‘back today to play. Next month we will probabbly have the gram- ;mer grades’ class games. Mary Parks Allen and Hattie McKee had their tensils taken |out a week or two ago. We are |#lad to have them well again and back with us. Some kind friends from Durham |sent us some spreads for our beds. | We think it was very nice of them | to think of us and we do appreciate their sending the spreads.

This simply deals with gifts to the support fund from church budgets throughout | the year, the Sunday School Offer- | ings and the Auxiliary giving, ex- | clusive of that which was sent at | Thanksgiving time and _ to the| clothing fund. It is expected that the regular giving from these! sources is going to be approximate- | ly $3,000.00 mcre for the year, to| which can be added an estimated increase of almost $7,000.00 in the Thanksgiving Offering. Ot the $30,043.90, Sunday Schouls had sent $13,901.68, the church budgets had appropriated $10,579.04, and $5,663.18 had come from the Auxiliaries. On a} percentage basis, it shows 45.9°% from the Sunday Schools, 35.27 from the churches, and 18.9°% | from the Auxiliaries. | The distribution of these reg-| ular funds, according to crgani-| zations within each Presbytery, is | as follows: | Presbytery Ch. 8s.

Kings Moun- tain’s advance from sixth place to fcurth caused the other changes, for that lowered Mecklenburg to fifth and Orange to sixth. Below is the ranking of the Pres- byteries last month, cn January 31, 1936, and today, where those changes are quickly visible: Last Year To- Month Ago day Winston-Salem 3rd 1st 1st Concord 2nd 2nd = 2nd Albemarle ist 3rd 3rd Kings Mcuntain 4th 6th 4th Mecklenburg 7th Ath 5th Orange 5th 5th 6th Granville 6th 7th th Fayetteville 8th 8th &th Wilmington Sth 9th 9th Every Presbytery in the Synod, | reatest percentage of | $51,000.00. This is Thanksgiving Offering simply from the Synod. In addi- tion to the offering that was, and will be, reported through church treasurers, the Orphanage has re- ceived $2,571.75 in miscellaneous |Thanksgiving gifts - contributions |which were sent to the Home by individuals in this and other states 'and which e credited to any particular church. Adding the two figures together, |the Thanksgiving response from |both Synod and in miscellaneous \contributions will be around $53. | 800.00. | Seven of the nine Presbyteries had exceeded the 1935 Offerings icn January 31st, and at the time of | going to press only | tery had failed to measure up to ‘jast year’s total. That was Wil- mington Presbytery. On January dlst, Mecklenburg lacked $7.80 of jgiving as much as in 1935, and | Wilmington lacked $49.43. Meck ‘lenburg has since gone far be- yond its Thanksgiving Offering |of a year ago. Albemarle Presbytery continuc: to be the only Presbytery to meet its goal, continues to lead in the increase, and this is very significant, had|and also has shown the largest contributed more per member on | Monetary increase. Albemarle one Presby- | y 31, 1937 than had been| sent $1,491.52 more than in 1935, aoe on January 31, 1936, and | and other Presbyteries and their in this respect, Albemarle Presby- | increases on January ist were tery maintained its leadership by|Kings Mountain, $1,088.77; Win- S.S. Meals | Once again the Sunday Schools | showed a monthly increase in the! contributions to the Orpharhge, sending $1,195.73 in regular Of- ferings during January, as com- pared with $1,077.24 for January, 1936. The total for the past 10 months from this source has been $13,801.68, which is an increase of $1,548.43 over the corresponding period of 1935-1936. It is predicted that the Sunday Schools will show an increase of around two thou- sand dollars in their month-to- imonth giving to the Orphanage ; when the current fiscal year is ; concluded. A year ago, 33 Sunday Schools had sent as much as $100.00 in reg- ular gifts but there were 38 in this classification on January 31, 1937, with many others on the bor- der-line of this classification, When last year was over, 53 Sunday | Schools were members of the $190 | Club. This will probably increase | to around 65 for 1936-1937, | Concord First Sunday School, on the basis of reports in hand, leads the Synod in Sunday School giv- ing, with $610.73. Runner-up was Winston-Salem First with $557.56. December and January Oiferings were yet to be reported from Win- ston-Salem First, however, and had those been in hand on January 31st, Winston-Salem would probably led. These two Sunday Schools have an annual race to see which one contributes the most, The thirtv-eight Sunday Schools sending as much as $100.00 to date are as follows: Concord First, $610.73; Winston- Salem First, $557.56; Greensboro | First, $334.14; Salisbury | $310.00; Albemarle, § jham First, $268.58: $258.48; Sheiby, Wilkesborc, $222.4 Burlington First, $219.49; Buffalo (G), $196.- 37; Monroe, $193.02: Laurinburg, $177.28; High Point First, $176.- |24; Kings Mountain, $172 enth Avenuc, napolis, $157.72; Rocky First, $155.58; Cha ‘lotte First, $152.40; Belmont, $146.40; States. ville First, $146.29: Rockingham, | $140.98; St. Paul (F), $137.27; Davidson, $135.94; Gastonia First, $128.23; Clarkton, $117.99; Myers Park, $114.39: Lumberton, $112.66; | Salisbury Second, $112.64; West- they did not desire to| Minster (O), $111.91; Rutherford. | | ton, $108.04; Vass, 107.56; Moores- jVille First, $107.20; Erwin, $107.- 00; Olivia, $106.02; Alamance, | $101.95; Trinity Avenue, $101.75: | Fayetteville First, $100.00; Graves | | Memorial, $100.00. | care Using ten cents per meal as ua basis, the following meals could ave been served the children at Barium during the past 34 monthe- | Month °34-'35-°35-"36 ~—°36-"37 | April 6,218 4,840 8,589 | May 10,659 10,948 11.04¢ June 9,501 13,178 14,694! | July 12,753 18,664 | Aug. 8,762 10,429 11,006 : Sept. 14,366 13,166 16.621 | Oct. 13,104 19,953 18.811 | Nov. 9,641 12,531 12.407 Dee, 17,510 18,114 16,328 Jan. 11,200 ~=10,070 11,957 Feb. 10,544 10,661 ? | March 31,682 31,352 7 | Total 155,940 164,996 138,017 =P. 0; “That's a skyscraper,” announced the guide. “Oh, my!” said the old lady, “I’4 love te see it work.” First, | $274.26; Dur-| 39.75; North | 3.92; Kan-| Mount | 16,554 | afraid, ‘ little Eve. | Honor Roll Thirty-eight children made the honor roll in the schools at Ba- rium Springs in the fifth month of the scholastic session.

James Porter and David Burney have decided to go into the chicken business. They have eight baby chicks and one bantam hen. We are making a work shop in our basement. A friend of ours made it possible for us to buy some tools for it. We know that we are going to enjoy working in it. Spring is close at hand. We will soon be very busy on the truck farm. We have an outdoor basket- ball court and a new basketball. That gives us a chance for practice when the weather is fair. BABY COTTAGE Hello Folks!

Some people, who have been in the habit of getting a Christmas from ties as a certain present individual, didn’t receive such an| article on December 25, 1936. The | reason? Because a friend cf the} Orphanage sent the institution a $25.00 Christmas gift. and said that “instead of giving ties fo: Christmas presents, I’m _ giving | $25.00 to the Orphanage.” If yon | were among the number failing | to receive the usual four-in-hand4, > mind much? | did vou so ——— — 1 you don’t mind,” wrote cone the Orphanage, “wish keep a record of little! over a period of y to establish d nad Pars, I want something | as a memorial seme day if TI have good luck.” Do we mind keeping that record? You can rest assured that it’s going to be a pleasure And, by the way, those “little” gifts that he referred to in his letter have amounted to $177.59 in the short space four months! Accordir our idea of the mean- i of the word that i ing je to $177.50. If the .s e certainly « applied | are others wh wan; to establish a memorial by sending the Orphanage contribu- tions cver a period of years, we'll be very happy to keep a detailed record of them. If necessary, we’ll invest in a ledger to keep “tab” on such contributions. In addition to that special nae -| term memorial thet is to be estab lished, we have received $449.55 in the past 11 months in cther memorial sums, the majority of which were sent to the Orphanage | in lieu of flowers to the funerals of friends. Not all of them are sent instead of floral designs. Several were gifts in memory of | Ieved ones and close friends who} were claimed by death some time | ago. One individual wrote, “Re- membering at this time how much interested mother always was in Barium, I am enclosing a small check in her memory.” A father and mother, whose daughter met an untimely death in an automo- bile wreck, sent Barium $25.00 in her memory at Christmas-time. Another friend has started the} custom cf annually sending the| Orphanage a memerial gift on the | anniversary date of the death of a close friend. Several other in- stances of gifts couid be cited, | which are keeping alive the! memory of those who are no long- er with us on this earth. | There’s a friend of Barium’s! who sends the Orphanage a dollar | every month, and maintains that| he gets a great “kick” out of do-|} ing this. Accompanying one of his| contributions was a letter to every- body at Barium, in the course of which he wrote, “I, of course, realize that a dollar per month is} a mere pittance. However, with a man who already has a full and complete load, it is a sacrifice for me every month, but that brings i +} un IN THE MAIL BAG AND OTHERWISE the blessing indeed.

During those tw nonths (and February had onty 2% days in it) the record shows | that 10,775 eggs were gathered yp, and that’s almost 900 dozen eges in two months from 287 pullets. The fire in September, 1635, destroyed about $2,0)0 w rth of hay that was a very delectable repast in the eyes cf the cattle; the cold killed our peaches in the summer of 1936 and thus eliminat ed that delicicus fruit in the eyes { the children here, but in » pullets have started a “pros- movement that we hope is perity” an omen of other fruitage in the | oiting. There are now 11 friends of the | Orphanage who send a monthly gift direct to the permit us to draw a draft, upon their banks, and the total those 11 amounts to $117.50 a month, which is $1,410.00 in a year’s time. In addition to those monthly contributors, there’s another friend who sends $150.00 a quarter, one whe sends $200.90 a quarter and several who make definite annual contributions rang- ing from $1.00 to $500.00. Starti off in 1937 was one individual who sent $10.00 with the statemen that “I hope that I will be able to send this amount monthly during 1937.” A boy and girl, who are now and six years old, respectively, have increased their monthly gift from $1.50 to $2.00. They started sending this when they were four and five years of age. Coming back to the orginal sentence of this paragraph, the $1,410.00 from these 11 people shows you how quickly monthly gifts “run into” big money. ne a a Two pastors sent us contribu-| tions from individuals in their community about Thanksgiving time, and accompanied the gifts with very interesting letters about the doncrs. One pastor wrote, “I am sending check for $2.00. This comes from ———————,, who is a confirmed invalid. She has been bedridden for several years.” The other pastor wrote, “The enclosed check for $5.00 is a gift to the 1937 | Orphanage or) from | | Shorter Catechism now, and the |rest of us are studying the Child’s Catechism. | Two of our girls, Martha Price |and Elizabeth Robards, were in 4 | recital last week at the home of Mrs. Earl Davis of Statesville. ;and came out very well. | Two of our girls, Lucille Strick- | lin and Hannah Price, go to the show this menth for making the} highest average in school.

Mr. Brown preached at the First Presbyterian Church of Statesville today and Rev. Geo. W. Hanna preached for us a splendid sermcen on the subject, “Remember Lot’s Wife”. We sure did enjoy it. On Monday a new member was added to our family. His name is Hurman Smith. Mama took Misses Moore and Jchnston, Bobby Allen and Vir- ginia Presnell to around Taylors- ville. Bobby and Virginia went for reciting the Catechism. Hurman went, too. One of our big sisters went with Mama Girt to the show. Monday night they had an Aux- iliary meeting over here. The pro- gram was abou; the “Congo”. It was given in play ferm by six girls. We all enjoyed it. We had the Birthday table today and two of our children went. We got out of school at lunch time and were we glad! The tournament jhas begun and we will nct have study hall anymore until Tuesday night. We were fortunate to have Misses Green and Thompson have supper with us tonight. Kenneth Mayhew had a visit from his mother and other friends They both had a number to play) today. It was so rainy today that Miss Reid came over and had Sunday School at our cottage. Pretty sunshine today but “ugh” is it cold? Aunt Lilly’s nieces spent the week-end with us. We hope they enjoyed the visit. We-were sure glad to have them. now for two days and we play out of doors even if it is cold. We were so glad to have Mr and Mrs. McKenzie and Mrs. Oliva, of Seranton, Pa., pay us a shcrt visit. They are holding Bible Class- es in Statesville.

It was not an easy thing even to larrange fcr those. But along about 1924 two things took place. One was a circulating hot-water system that was installed at Barium, mak- ing hot water available every day in the week. The other was the grow- ing popularity for athletics, and a vigorous team of any descripticn has to have a bath right afterwards to round out a perfect day. These itwo things have resulted in a tremendous increase in the use of water at Barium. In 1922, for instance, one well | 232 children. At the present time, us supplied the water for Barium with it takes three wells working pretty well up to capacity, to supply the water needs for. 311 children; and nowadays we do not mark on the calendar the days that we take a bath. | Most of us just take one every day to be sure; and all cf this adds Alexander } in basketball and | ae es on ahs Spent eg aoe . wae ee 4, |imaterially to Mr. Grier’s responsibility and work. having a wrestling match with} oe : = them, too. Vs vill tell vou in ow Then, after using all that water, it has to go somewhere. And . the underground department comes in - the sewer next news who wins out. | It has been a long time since we have heard from John and Charles Nungezer in Florida, and Dallas Williams in Idaho. We Orphanage m a member of , another denomination, but who reads The Messenger regularly, inasmuch as comes into her home. Her husband is a member of my church. He tells me_ that she eagerly looks forward to each | copy of The Messenger and for |some time has been wanting t» do something, as the enclesed gift |certainly testifies. I might _ say that this is really a gift of love, | inasmuch as Mrs — is in an invalid condition at present - in bed with bad heart.” Don’t those two gifts cheer your heart? “JT will son be 88 years old and in good health. Bless the Lord.” That was part of a few words that were written the donor of 2 $5.00 Thanksgiving Offering - a friend who has helped the Home through all the years since it was founded in 1 . We can but wish for him many more years and per- health cn this earth. brings to mind an invalid minister who now 82 years of age, and every year he personally goes forward and drops his pennies in- to the Birthday Box for the Or- phanage for each one of the many and useful years he has lived. y fect Gocd fortune and blessings are oftentimes accepted as a matter of course. This is not true in all | instances, though. Not long ago we received a $10.00 gift accom- panied by a letter from the donor who wrote, “The Great Benefactor has permitted me some extra pros- | perity recently and I want the Orphanage to share with my own children therin.” How fine it would be if all of us would re- member Him in the blessings that come to us, and share in His work 'with the material prosperity that {is ours! This | there is where system. Most of us just don’t like to think about that sort of a system, but quite often it insists on getting into the picture. When it is stop- ped, for instance, and sometimes the things on the campus that we admire most bring about these sewer complications. We are referring to our beautiful maple trees. Now, our campus in the fall of the year is the most beautiful thing in the world. The maple trees with beautiful red leaves; and maple trees with beautiful yellow leaves, and we wouldn’t harm one of these maple trees for anything in the world. But the roots from these trees just travel on and on, and they search out a sewer line. If they can find the slightest crevice in that line, they get into the sewer pipes, and before you know it, such a mass of roots has gotten into that sewer that it is stopped up! And then those beautiful maple trees lese some of their popularity, and a few more lines are added to Mr. Grier’s face. When this happens the sewer line just has to be dug up and replaced with cast iron pipes, or the maple trees in that particular vicinity destroyed. We usually just replace with iron pipes. Our buildings are heated from a central heating plant and this steam circulating system is a complicated thing. When the engineers laid this cut, they just treated every building exactly alike, and they did not notice that the Infirmary and the Baby Cottage were on the extreme end of the line. In other words when steam is gotten up, it reaches the school building and the church first. Then Lee’s Cottage, Jennie Gilmer, Synod’s, Rumple Hall, and finally around to the Ir- firmary and the Baby Ccttage. Now, at night, these are the last build- ings for the steam to cease to be effective but that is long after the children have gone to bed, and they wouldn’t mind it anyhow, because they are asleep then. Mr. Grier has to arrange for steam to be gotten up early enough lin the morning to reach the Baby Cottage and the Infirmary by getting | up time, and to continue on at night until the last algebra problem is worked out and the last Latin lesson prepared; and then, he has to | watch the ccal pile, too. In other words, his judgment has to balance i between complaints and coal piles, and he usually uses mighty fair | judgment in deciding these matters. Just for information, we use be- tween 800 and 900 tons of coal during a normal year. Mr. Grier has cne full-time worker in his department. Will Thomas is his name, who is fireman at the big boiler. He has from four to six boys, usually with one senior, one junior, one sophomcere, one freshman and a couple of smaller boys. This crew not only keeps the buildings warm, but they also keep the boiler going at the kitchen, that does our cooking; and in addition to shooting trouble, they do the majority of the painting, both inside and cut. Up until the depression came along this crew did all of the paint- ing. A certai) amount was done every year and they would get around before a building got too badly in need of paint. During the extreme curtailment of expense during the depression, the purchase of paint for this activity had to be dropped, and right now, every summer, painters have to be employed to catch up the work that might other- wise have been done by Mr. Grier’s group. Mr. Grier is one of the oldest members of the staff at Barium and is one of the most valuable. To fill his job takes a person with a wide mechanical experience, with most mature and experienced judgment, and above all, he has to be a diplomat. And all of these things, Mr. Grier is, as well as being one of the greatest influences for good in our Community. 0 Page Three THE BARIUM MESSENGER March 1937 = = ae .

XIV 2) BOYS AND GIRLS WERE GRADUATED IN APRIL; LARGEST CLASS IN HISTORY BARI Three Splendid Addresses Made by Visiting Speak- ers.— Many Awards Made On Tuesday, April 27th, 25 grad- uates of the high school at the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home began scattering toward various sections of the state after being awarded their diplomas at the graduating exercises Monday night. The fea- ture address of the final exercises was made by Rev. J. H. Marion, Jr., pastor of the Oakland Avenue Presbyterian Church of Rock Hill, S. C., who spoke upon “How to Face Fear.” After the processional at 8 p. m., Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of Little Joe’s church, pronounced the in- vocation, and Lucy Bryant, second honor student, delivered the salu- tatory address. An overture to William Tell, with Miss Laura Gray Green, music teacher, and Leila Johnston at the first piano, and Lugene White and Frances Lowrance at! the second piano, was rendered. After a song by the sev- enth grade the certificates to those advancing to high schoo] next year were presented by Mrs. John Q. Holton, principal of the grammar school. Rev. Mr. Brown presented a Bible to each of the 25 graduates | and the awarding of medals was} made by J. H. Lowrance, assis- | tant superintendent of the Orphan- age, who had the distinction of having two children to graduate. The scholarship medal for the highest average in the fourth through the seventh grades went to Mott Price and Leila Johnston wen the high school medal for scholastic eminence. The music improvement medal was given to Lucile Norris for showing the most improvement in mnsie during the vast scheol ses- sion, while Leila Johnston was pre- sented a $5 prize for showing the greatest musical improvement of any graduate during four years. The Bible medal also went to Leila Johnston for making the highest average in that course during high school, which also included a recitation of the two Catechisms and certain memory work of the Scriptures. Lucile Burney was presented the Ace medal, which is consider- ed one of the highest awards that can be made. It is given on the basis of general application to work during the entire stay at Barium, upon improvement shown during the sojourn at the Or- phanage, and upon consistent ef- fort for the period of residence. The Fred W. Sherrill prizes of $2.50 each went to Lucy Bryant, as the Orphanage girl making the highest average last year; to Eu- gene Shannon as the high school boy making the highest average; to Mary Duffie Coppedge for the girl showing the greatest’ improve- ment during the year; and to Ru- fus Long, as the boy showing the the most pronounced improvement. Jos. B. Johnston, superintendent of the Orphanage, acknowledged the gift of the senior class. which was an appropriation to make some improvements in the auditorium of the grammar school building. He also presented the loving cup to James Shroyer, captain of the 100-pound football team for the championship eleven of the state last fall, and the lov- ing cup awarded to the state high school wrestling champions was presented to J. D. Beshears, cap- tain of 1937, and captain-elect for 1938. The diplomas were awarded by R. G. Calhoun, principal of the school. The jumior class marched to the rostrum and stood behind the seniors as they sang “Farewell Song.” Leila Johngton delivered the Valedictory address and after one verse of the Alma Mater song, Rev. Mr. Marion pronounced the benediction. Commencement Address The Rock Hill pastor started his commencement address that night by referring to the popular- ity of the tune, “The Big Bad Wolf” a number of years ago. He attributed it partly to the catchy (Continued On Page Two) 2 SUNDAY SCHOOLS IN db-'07 S100 CLUB Five Dropped Out, But There Were 14 New-Comers.— Per Capita Next Month Sixty-two Sunday Schools in the Synod of North Carolina merit membership in the $100.00 Club—- a Club of Sunday Schools that reg- ularly contribute as much as $100.- 00 a year to the Orphanage which is exclusive of that which is sent at Thanksgiving-time. That was an increase of nine over 1935-1936; an increase of 13 over 1934-1935; an increase of 26 over 1933-1934. In the latter year there were cnly 36 Sunday Schools in this Club, so there has been an increase of over 72% im the number of Sun- day Schools gaining entrance dur- ing the past four years. Five members of the $190.00 club in 1935-1936 failed to measure up to the minimum of $100.00 dur- PUBLISHED BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME For tHE INFORMATION oF ITS FRIENDS UM SPRINGS, N.C...

The Minnie Bea! Fidelis Class of the Fuller Memorial Sunday School in Granville Presbytery has “adopted” one of the Barium chil- dren and will send $50.00 this year for her support. The Ladies’ Bible Class of the Badin Sunday School in Mecklen- burg has increased its monthly ap- propriation from $2.00 to $3.00.

The first part is clothes-making and the second is keeping these same clcthes clean - the Laundry. This building was donated and equipped by Mr. C. W. Johnstcm of Charlotte in 1922. It has been in constant everyday use for 15 year nd most of the equipment originally furnished is still in use an good condition. We will describe the sewing roam ‘irst: It is in charge of Miss Mena Clark who has been in continuous charge cf this department for 14 years. (Although she doesn’t look it.) She has 12. girls with which to work, and the system now used is quite different from that cf just a few years ago. Our school system is new for eight months with a full day’s work in schiool- not a half day, as it used to be; and no girls are available for werk in the sew:ng room during the winter months until 2:45 p.m. This makes a very short day. And when time is taken out for music, for basketball practice, for play 1ehearsing, and the many other interruptions that come along during the winter months, it is extremely dificult to carry on the work necessary in this department. For this reason, it has been found advisable for the sewing room te take its vacation in the winter. So it is closed during January and February, and operates through most of the summer months. plan on the secone Sunday in April, WHICH SUNDAY SCHOOL) OR WHICH MEN'S OR LADIES’ BIBLE CLASS WILL BE NEXT?

Those Sunday Schools dropping out from membership last year were New Berm in Albemarle Pres- bytery; Warrenton in Granville Presbytery; St. Andrews and St. Paul in Mecklenburg Presbytery and Lexirfgton First in Winston- Salem Presbytery. Several of those are expected to stage a “come- back” to the Club during 1937-1938, Breaking the 62 members up nto Clubs of different denomina- tions, it is found that two are in the $700.00 Club; two in the $400.- 00 Club; five in the $300.00 Club; | 1i in the $200.00 Club; and_ the other 21 ranged between $100.90 and $200.00, Winstom-Salem First and Con- cord First Sunday Schools were jn a numerical class by themselves, | for those were in the $700.00 Club. | To Winston-Salm First goes the! honor this year of having con- | tributed the most money in the Offering-per-month plan.

In the $400.00 Club were Splisbury First and Greensboro First. Occupying berths in the $306,00 Club were Albemarle, Durham First, Tenth! Avenue, Burlington First, and Shelby. Giving as much as $200.- 00 were North Wiidkesboro, Buf- falo (G), Monroe, Belmont, Lau- rinburg, Kings Mountain First, Charlotte First, Kannapolis, Myers Park, Rocky Mount First and St. Paul (F).

Of that sum, $43,935.84 was sent reg- ularly, and $51,338.58 as Thanks- giving Offering, That was an in- crease of $2,969.09 in regular giv- ing, and a $6,884.02 increase xt Thanksgiving, making a _ grand total increase of $9,853.11. That’s the greatest income from Synod Every Presbytery showed an in- crease in its per capita giving t: the Orphanage during the past 12 months.

Fayetteville and) in her | As this is written, the sewing room is flourishing, and Miss Clark is busy breaking in the new-comers to this department - the rising senior class. The machines in the sewing reom are each equipped with a separate motor. There are cight machines, one hemstitching machine, and one small machine for special work. When a girl first comes to work here she is taught the manipulation of this highly complicated machine, and as soon as she can begin to sew im a straight line, she is put to work hemming sheets, table cloths, pillew cases, aad The next job is making paja’ mistakes in pajama making that this is the next step in training in the sewing room. Maybe it’s a good thing that neo one has to make a parade in this garment, because sometimes the buttons are sewed on the wrong side, and the legs do not all point in the same direction. However, none of them is so badly made as to disturb our sieep, MISS MONA CLARK MRS. J. D. LACKEY Sewing Room Matron Laundry Matron | and after practicing up on this, the girls are ready for their next | course. This is in making the plainer dresses and aprons. Then, the more complicated garments are made and in this class are the smocks which look so attractive for everyday wear. By the time the new class of girls have reached this stage, they are ready to take on the making of “boxes”. We want to explain about those boxes in detail. Back a number of years ago, when life was a so-much simpler matter, whemever a child entered the Or- phanage, someone volunteered to clothe that particular child. Once or twice a year a box was sent in to this child, containing the necessary garments for the next six months A very intimate con- tact existed between the “Clothing People” and that particular child. However, as time went on and people became busier it was found so much easier to just send the material or the money, instead of sending the actual garments made to fit. That was when the necessity for a sewing room arose. Right now, considerably more than half af the girls are clothed from the sewing room, but we try to have them retain some of the pleasures that were attached to this old “Box” idea. So when a matron sends in the measurements and list cf clothes needed for a child, the sewing room makes up that box just as though it was being sent in from. the _ outside. The average box contains three dresses. One is for Sunday and two for everyday wear, two aprons, and about 14 other garments of a more or less intimate nature, all of which are made in the sewing room. Them, Mr. Lowrance puts in the shoes and the stockings and the box is sent complete to the child for whom it is intended. They are just as proud as though the box had came from some individual outside. When this box-making starts, it is a busy time in the sewing room. It is something like threshing time on the farm. Thiey wil! take a cottage at a time, fix up every child in that cottage before they stop, and then they take another cottage. Before a cottage is started on, however, the matron of that cottage checks over and sees how many hand-me-down garments she has. The youngsters here have a habit of growing out of their clathes faster than they wear them out; that is, most of them are that way. | And some of these good outgrown garments just fit a smaller youngster, or it will fit them with just a slight alteraticn. These altera- tions are made in the sewing room. Now in addition to that, new children are coming in all the time but mainly during the summer. Some of them are well outfitted with clothes. The neighbors have attended to that before they came. Others are badly in need of an outfit. These are fixed right away. There also seems to be an endless demand for curtains, laun- | dry bags, smocks, pillow cases, and even horse-blankets! You would mot think the farm would make a demand on the sewing room, and yet (Continued On Page Two) sooo ORL! — BARIUM MESSENG ER 1937 R Page Two THE BARIUM _MESSENGE ce PUBLISHED MONTHLY BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME Entered a= second at Barium Springs for mailing at special Act of October 3, 1917.

Grace Cayton and Thelma Ro- bards have started a rock garden. They would like a pool, too, but do not know just how t« make one or where to get the materials. Un- less some one comes to their aid they may have to be content with the garden. Billy and Russell McKenzie made us a nice bird house and put it in the pear tree, by the sun- room windows. Since then we have noticed a number of differeny kinds of birds claiming the house. The only way that it can be set- tled is for them to make a house for each family. The little robin nest in the vire lon the porch has sent out its first family, and by gentle and friend- ly treatment has not resented us looking at the robin babies every day.

Those table cloths! They just will get dirty. Milk will jump out of the pitchers and glasses and s}'sh on the table eloths. Molasses will get on it and gravy just seems to prefer jumping out of a gravy dish every time you have a perfectly clean table cloth.

Just as soon as school is out, 12 girls go into thie laundry | ‘ : ; y s all an eyeful. | The sewing does have its big part in help.ng turn out a well-groomed preduct from our Home. And now, the laundry: It is a pity that clothes just will not stay by Thursday noon. They spend Thursday afternoon in cleaning up the laundry. In the winter time, it is late Thursday afternoon before the work is completed. One of the reasons why they work so hard to finish off Thursday is because on Friday afternoon there is usually a football game to go to, and the laundry crowd are the most enthusias- tic rooters for the Barium team. The laundry girls do a lot of extra work, too. Some of the workers who live at Barium have their laundry done there. This money does mot go to the individual girls, but it goes into a fund, and from this fund is paid the expenses for special trips, picture shows, or such things as that. Usually there’s about $75 a year that the laundry girls really set up for the rest of the family. The laundry girls also take care of a lot of flowers and potted plants that adorn different places on the campus, and that need a safe place to go through! the winter. The laundry is rather a warm place, and for that reason the laundry girls become expert swimmers. It is surprising how good that pool feels after a day in the laundry! Mrs. J. D. Lackey is the matron in charge of the Jaundry. Mrs. Lackey’s husband was at one time in charge of the farm at Barium. Her children have grown up in the Barium school. One of them became quite famous as a Statesville football player; then at McCallie and after that at Georgia Tech.

Under the latter he mentioned fear of a wreck because of excessive automobile speed and fear of disease. The fear upon which the speak- er chose to dwell at length, how- ever, was the fear of failure, and only “as a person fears showing defeat’ can he eventually turn that into laurels and __ victory,” said Mr. Marion. The four ways he outlined to face such a fear +p meet it calmly, believe in yourself, determine to give the very best to the world, and to fol- low a straight and upright career. “Firs, look fear of defeat in the eve and refuse to run away from it.” said the visiting speak- er, “Serious problems must be faced. Do not obey your first im- pulse to run away, but’ take that | fear to pieces, examine it, and | don’t flee away into the land of | amusement and _ frivolity and | pleasure try:mg to escape it. | Make friends with! the particular | preblems facing you, take stock of it, and you'll be surprised how less formidable and serious it will become.” In the second place he urged his hearers to believe firmly and quietly in themselves. “Many peo- ple will say, ‘I cannot, ’'m no good, life’s too much for me’ but those was things put out the fire of am- bition.

READING, ’RITING, ’RETHMETIC (Continued From Page One) phanage to furnish everything else. During the first year, the state did provide for a few teachers, with everything else going along as usual. It was a nine months’ school term, the state assisting with eight of these months. Them, it was found necessary to conform to the state hours and length of term. We had to lengthen the hours of the day and short- en the term to eight months. This brought about complications. We were unable to get into our regular half-day periods the hours required by the state. For one year we attempted to lengthem these. We started school at 7:30 in the mornings and taught until one o’clock. We started the after- noon session at 2:00 amd taught until 6:30. We had supper at 7:30, then study hour, and the youngsters finallw got to bed about 10 c’clock, One year of this arrangement was enough to ccmvince us that it was entirely impractical. We were faced with two propositions. 2 4 Mr. LEROY SOSSAMON Ore was to go on a full day school plan; the other was to drop the state school system entirely. The decision was made to teach the full day, amd for the last three years this has been the plan. School starts at 8:80 and runs until 2:30 in the afternoon, with an hour-and-a-half study hour at might. This has tended to improve our school. There are fewer fail- ures, more honor roll candidates, and possibly a fresher, livelier bunch of youngsters in classes. However, on the other hand, it has prac- tically elimmated group work. Only the dairy boys aind the dining room girls continue their full assignments. The work of these de- partments has been described in detail and we won’t attempt to go into that. For all the others, their work time is only from 2:30 in the afternoon until 5:00. The many interruptions in this particular time make it total up very little actual work done by the children during the school term. As far as the boys are concermed they catch up whien schpol is out, and some of the girls’ departments do likewise. We don’t want to bring in a description of the other departments too much on this, as this article is mainly about the schools. In building up our school various departments were added. The commercial departrnent; then domestic science; then kindergarten after the Baby Cottage was added to the Orphanage, and three extra teachers for coaching backward students and for umgraded rooms. During this time there was once when tk Orphanage had 377 chil- dren enrolled and 17 teachers in all the departmemts of the school. When the school was put under the state system various depart- ments were dropped. These were the kindergarten, the domestic science and commercial departments. All of the teachers of ungrad- ed rooms were dropped and the coaching of backward students was discontinued, The first and second grades were combined. Thus there were six teachers below the high school and five teachers in the high school, including the principal. Sometimes the state pays four of these high school teachers and sometimes three, dep:iading on the average daily attendance, and the average daily attendance of the Troutman High School, of which Barium is technically a part. The past year the state paid for three high school and five grade teachers, eight out of a total of 12. For the last two years, Mr. R. G. Calhoun has becin principal and has worked out plans in connecticn with the state department in a most satisfactory manner. During the last year we were able to increase the number of teachers in the grammar school, which allows one teacher for each grade. The work of this whole department of the grammar school, of course, beads up with the seventh grade. We are glad to state that the state-wide examinations that are @iven the seventh grade have shown up our school in a most commendable way ever since these examinations have been given. The Barium | Springs’ seventh grade has led Iredell County tor five years hand- | running. Mrs. J. Q. Holton teaches the seventh grade and is the | z | | Miss IRENE MCDADE senior member of our faculty. faculty whom the graduates remember longest and oftemest. We wish we could insert extracts from letters from these gradu- ates in this article. The burdensof these letters conveys this idea: Thet Mrs. Hol- ton is the person who really made these more or less irresponsible students realize the necessity and the way to study. She was the one who traiined them into the habits that made their high school careers a success. They did not realize that she was doing this to them at the time, but they do realize it after leav:ng school. The size of the graduating classes has shown a change; also their complexion. Back in the early twenties there were usually six or seven in a graduating class, and at least three-fourths of these were girls. We had almost arrived at the idea that “book-larnin” was sissy. However, alcng about this time Barium commenced to take an imterest in athletics, toc, and the boys began to realize that an education, far from being sissy, was the door to s:me of the reddest- blood activity open to any man. Thi size of the graduating classes has steadily increased and the proportion of the boys and girls have | jail Mr. GEORGE NEEL changed until now one or two more boys than girls graduate. The average class mow numbers ?0. At times a group of girls will want to go to college, but as a general thing, there more boys seeking higher education than girls. At the present time there are four girls and 20 boys in the various colleges. Flora Macdonald is the most popular college for the girls; David- son for the bovs. The school ponsors a full athletic program and is emtering more and more into contests of music, debating and declamation.

WALKER WELLS IS REVEALED 1521 N. Park Ave. Chicago, Ills. May 19, 1937 To Editor Barium Messenger: Dear Editor: laving peen one of the girls of your Orphanage in the year of 1918, I wish! to annoujnce, for your paper, the recent death of my youngest sister, Mrs. J. Wells (mee Lottie V. Walker), 29 Gar- field Place, Cincinnati, Ohio, who was also at the Orphanage at the same time. She had been in bad health for quite a number of months, suffering with heart in- fection. She passed away Saturday morning at 10:30, May 15th. Miss Maggie Adams was her matron while at the Orphanage. Also, Miss Janie McEachern was the principal of the school. I shal! always remember her as one of the most outstanding women of my life—a character of love amd un- derstanding for everyone that no one could forget. Now, a few brief words about myself. After leaving Barium I rraduated as a nurse at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Lexington, Ky., and fol- lowed my profession until 1926, when I was married. Since then I have spent a few years in tra- veling, having been through all the states but four. I am now settled here in Chicago and like it fine. Have not heard from any of the Barium boys ahd girls I knew while there since I went away, as I have been out of the state of North Car- olina since then. But I have often thought of them. I shall not make my letter long, but did wish to anmounce the pass- ing of my sister as some of the old boys and girls will remember her when reading the paper. If you should happen to have an ex- tra copy of The Messenger I should like to have one. Also, will you kindly let me know the price of it for one year. This I will appreci- ate. Wishing much success to “dear old Barium” for many years to come, I wish to remain one of the girls who was once there. Sincerely yours, Mrs. Charles L. Chapman (Nee Mita S. Walker). Editor’s Note: We feel sure Mrs. Chapman would be delighted to hear from any of the former mem- bers of our Home from 1913 to 1918. | Cottage News LEE’S COTTAGE “Hello Everyone.” This is Lee’s Cottage on the psge again.

The ceremony immediately follow- ed the Wednesday evening prayer service and was performed by the pastor, Rev. W. C. Brown. There were no attendants, the bride and groom entering together. Miss Leila Johmston played the wedding music. She rendered the Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin as a processional and softly played To a Wild Rose (McDowell) while the vows were being said. She used Mendelssohn’s Wedding March for the recessional. The bride was attractive im yel. low lace and carried a nosegay, tied with blue velvet ribbon. Immediately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Spencer left on a week’s wedding trip, and after their return they will be at home at Ba- rium Springs. Mrs. Spencer was graduated from the high School at the Presby- terian Orphians’ Home this spring and since her graduation has been visiting friends at Barium. Mr. Spencer was graduated from the Orphanage in the class of 1936, and is assistant manager of the dairy hlere. The young couple had planned for their marriage to take the prayer meeting audience by com- plete surprise, but rumor of the impending nuptial event leaked out some time during Wednesday afternoon. Complete verification of this, however, was not made until the close of the service when the pastor asked that the congre- gation be seated amd Miss Leila Johnston started playing the wed- ding march. This is one of several romances that have culminated between young people enrolled at Barium. Some of these romamces recalled are Mr. and Mrs. Sam _ Jackins, now in Shreveport, La.; Mr. and Mrs. Guy Jackson, of Greensboro, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Gray, of States- ;mot only including the Of the $3,624.82 that has been received at the Orphanage during April and May from the Synod, Sunday Schools sent $1,934.47; Church budgets allotted $1,096.83, and Auxiliaries were responsible for $593.52.

That figures out at a cost of 8% cents a meal. How- ever, using 10 cents a meal as a basis, the gifts from the Sundav Schools for the past 26 months ville, and Mr. and Mrs. Ed Todd, of Washington, D.

GOODMAN WAS PHEAGHEA AT REVIVAL Eight Joined Church at Con- clusion of Sermons Deliver- ed by Kannapolis Pastor The Orphanage po pulation spiritually benefited in May from several days of evangelistic sery- ices that were conducted by Rev. W. H. Goodman, pastor of the Kannapolis Presbyterian Church. ; Rev. Mr. Goodman began the | Series of seven sermons on Wednes- |day night, and thereafter he | preached twice daily with the ex- | ception of Saturday. Possessing a conversaticnal style of preaching, the visiting minister talked as if he were speak- ing to each person individually. His sermons were effectively illus- trated and his points were clearly presented. He spoke cm under- standable subjects of an every day nature, from which personal applicaticns could be made by his hearers. As a result of this preaching four boys and four girls at the Or- phanage professed faith in Christ and united withi Little Joe’s Church. Special music by the choir aid- ed im the meetings. The people here were glad that Mr. Goodman came and were up- lifted by his excellent sermons. As is expressed in many of the cottage news items, it is hoped that he will come back again. would have served the following number of meals: Month "35-36 '36-’37 °37-'38 April 4,840 8,589 7,569 May 10,948 11,049 11,776 June 13,178 14,694 ?

The auditor’s repo=t showed aggregate liabilities of $13,- 268.79 on March 31st, $7,968.79 of which was current bills. In cormection with the improved financial condition, the regents passed a resolution that they “ex- press their thanks to the people of the Symod of North Carolina for the fine Thanksgiving and regular offering of 1936-1937, which en- abled the orphanage to practically get out of debt and put the or- phanage in a position to render the line of service that was pos- sible before the depression.” The Regents decided to re-in- state the domestic science depart- | ment as a part of the school cur- riculum. Two years ago the Re- gents took action that this be done at the earliest convenience because of the valuable preparation it gave the children at the Home. This was simply carrying to compietion a prior decision of the Board. Rev. Chester Alexander, pastor | of the Howard Memorial Church at Tarboro, was welcomed as a new member. He was selected by Synod last September to replace Mr. Stamps Howard, of Tarboro, who resigned because of his in- ability to attend meetings of the Regemts due to a conflict in lecal duties. Rev. W. M. Currie, Belmont, presided as president of the Board, and Mrs. Z. V. Turlington, Moores- ville, acted in her capacity as secretary. In addition to the above three, others present were Rev. Eugene Alexander, Manchester, vice-presi- dent; Mrs. J. E. Driscoll and W. B. Bradford, both of Charlotte; Mrs. S. P. Stowe, Belmont; Karl G. Hudson, Raleigh; Mrs. W. E. White, Graham; Rev. John R.

Everyome seems very much inspired. We hope to have Mr. Goodman with us again. It is a great relief to leave our work in the afternoons for a swim. The pool has been opened about two weeks and we are thoroughly enjoying it. After supper we spend much of our time playing tennis. We have had plenty of straw- berries recently but they are al- most gone mow, much to our regret. The Board of Regents met here last week amd we were glad to see our friends again.

Sunday morning, June 6, the boys who feed the mules walked into the barn and found that we have a new member. One of our mares (Maude) had given birth to a colt. We have not named it yet. About the middle of this month we will start cutting wheat from which our bread is made. We ex- pect to have more this year than we had last year.

CUEOQDOUSGORGREQUSDOEOUNGEROUADESERAEEGULGERUEGEERED LEES, June 23—Here we come ask- ing for a litte space in the Messenger to tell our friends, very briefly, what is happening at Lees Cottage. Just think, it isn’t a dream any more, but a reality that school is out. How we boys are enjoying the big outdoors these summer days. Most of us are busy on the truck farm and farm now, and this keeps us physically strong and fit. Some of are well sun-tanned, but we are proud of it. And the fresh vegetables and peaches are coming in now, and O boy! how we are enjoying them. Since we wrote to the Messenger “THE SPOTLIGHT” So far as the writer knows the only Orphanage that puts out a real Annual is Barium Springs, N. C. It looks like a college Publication with all that goes to make up a college annual. It features in a splendid way the life and various activites of the Institution. The impression made will be that this is a mighty happy, wholesome place in which to be brought up. Thornwell has never felt like under- taking anything quite so pretentious as an Annual. The Barium Springs crowd are to be congratulated on this splendid wns Seeetewe Orphanage Month- y.

There is one compli- cation, however, that might hurt seriously and we want to warn our friends ‘about this thing. We realize that salesman have been hunting hitherto unexplored outlets for the object of their salesmanship, and have been increasing the pressure: to make sales. Sometimes the man may have a set of books to sell, and his line of talk or her line of talk may be so good that they can just talk a person almost, and oftentimes this salesman will mention to oo 8 CECUEUEEEU TOUT EEUSEOESUEEORGGOESUOREESUDEEDEEEEOUGED two of our boys went home on their vacation; we miss them.

H.—— GOING TO CHURCH. | I find two sets of values in going to church. } 1. You’ gain God’s presence in a special way. He is with you before you come and comes with each one. It makes you more reverent. You get the advantage of social worship, which is impossible when you are alone. 2. You will get many exalted and exalting truths from the Scriptures and from those who expound them. 3. You enrich yourself through contact with good people, gaining, their friendship and their active sup- port in every noble thought and en-| terprise you cherish. | The other set of values is what you bestow. That it is the greatest value of the two. 1. Your dependable attendance | tends to stabilize the services. You! energize and encourage others. | 2. You find special opportunities to cheer others. Grasp that chance | eagerly. 8. You add to the power of the pastor in his preaching. Many pas- tors break under the awful depres- sion of preaching to empty benches. | Your absence strikes him a heavy ! blow. Your uncertainty gives you a| poor rating with him. You give him a poor rating to strangers who may drop in and they are apt to accept your rating of him and not come again. 4. You give your church a higher rating and a greater power with the community for Christ. “I was glad when they said unto me, ‘Let us go into the house of the Lord’.” “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.” —Ex. — P.O.

You know there is one time in the year when people are expected to give There was a business depression foolish gifts and that’s Christmas. We all get kinder “gift-druank” on that | occasion and give things that just make people feel good for a minute, but There was a business depression which are of very little permanent value. Nobody denies but that it is good for any of us to both receive and give gifts of this kind this once. But when we keep that up all year long, it is expensive and exasperating. We find all sorts of schemes for indreasingsales For instance, a man came to us the other day with a beautiful plan. His lead- ing question was: “Don’t you want the people to take out insurance for you?” Our reply, even without thinking was “Yes.” We would just love for hundreds of our friends, particularly the older ones, to put us down for a thousand or ten thousand or a hundred thousand life insurance; to send us the policy, and each year the receipts. It would just be fine and we would try not to be un- duly elated when one of these friends died, Now, this man talking to us, enlarged on this thing, and got our enthusi- asm to a fever heat. We could just visualize the future of the Orphahage— possibly when we had passed out and succeeding managements would be struggling with finances— and we just warmed up to this young man. We went further and futher into the plan. As the plan developed, however, it turned out this way: That we were ex- pected to round up the prospects of able willing Presbyterians , and induce them to take out Life Insurance, and this young man would be ready with a fountain pen to take their signature, “on the dotted line” In other words, the Orphanage would be used as the agency for this splendid young man to write a big volume of life insurance. And when we cooled down enough to see the thing in its true light, we were no longer enthusiastic. We love to have insurance made out in favor of the Orphanage, but we can not see the Orphanage in the roll of solicitor for this. Another thing; the Soap Wrappers. There has been pressure put on to us from a number of sources to start a campaign for the collection of soap wrappers to get us out of all of our difficulties. They will buy refrigerators, silver, automobiles, false teeth, and coffins! And with the amount of clothes there are to wash, and faces to wash, there must be an enormous number of soap coupons around over the country. The difficulty in this whole business—or one of the difficulties—is that there is more than one kind of soap, and we question the advisability of using the orphanage as an advertising agency for just one sort of soap, in order to make a campaign for their coupons. There are just hundreds of ways that come up repeatedly to divert money from the Orphanage into other things, and we get splendid gifts lots of times | that we do not particularly need, and we cannot dispose of those gifts for anything like the money that has been put into hem. Now, our situation in regard to money is just this: We are trying des- perately to cut down our expenditures. We are reorganizing our working force so that fewer teachers will crary on the scrool work, and fewer matrons carry on the orphanage work. There will no doubt be re-adjustments in salaries. We are trying to stretch every dollar to make it do tricks— and bring home “two dollars worth of bacon”. We do not want even a suspicion of extravagance anywhere in our work; and that is why we are warning our friends everywhere, that whenever the impulse or suggestion comes to you to buy something and send to us, do not obey the impulse: Just send that check to us. We need it so desperately more than we need anything that you might buy for us. You might accidently hit on the very thing that we would spend that money for; but just figure out for yourself what the chances are for that to happen, Two people might get in a ten-acre field with guns in their hands. You could blind-fold them and spin them around and let them shoot, The bullets from their guns might accidently meet, but the chances are they woudn’t; and that’s a good deal like your chances to it on the things that we need most of all, as against sending us the money and al- lowing us to use our own judgement as to when and what to buy.

THE MAN WHO QUITS The man who quits has a brain and hand As good as the next, but he lacks the sand That would make him stick with a courage stout To whatever he tackles, to fight it out. The man who fails has himself to blame, If he wastes his chances and misses his aim; He'd win if he’d use his hands and wits— The man who fails is the man who quits. —_Chas. B. Barrett in Rays of Sunshine eer so geen 2 ee So a ee ee = Hard Times Continue__BUT Commencement is over, twenty-two youngsters have grad- uated from Barium, and also twenty-two are still desperately look- ing for work; and really mean it. Jobs seem so scarce that by the time this graduating class does land work, they are going to heng on to that first job so hard that it may be their last one. They may hold on to it until they die of old age! The money receipts seem to indicate that hard times are still with us. They are nothing to brag about. Applications still come along at the same old rate, but with not quite the insistence that we have in the winter. People can live cheaper in the summer time than they can in the winter, and un- employment does not bring such acute suffering as when the weather is cold. When we get our minds off of hard times for a little bit and commence to look about us, there some things to be really cheerful about. Our truck farm has been producing so well this spring that we have even had an over abundance of certain articles. We have been able to sell lettuce, and have cabbage, onions, pie plant, beets, potatoes, peas, and every thing of that nature in abundance for our table. And we needn’t worry about the price that these things bring wholesale because they taste just as good as if they brought a thousand dollars a truck load. And they do us just as much good. We have just finished eating strawberries to ovr hearts con- tent. And now the peach trees are commencing to give promise of early returns. In fact, before you read these lines, peaches will be a daily article of diet. And my! How we like ’em! We have just lots of milk to drink. But a cow, to give milk, must eat. And one of these articles of diet that the cow must have in abundance is hay. Now, strange to say, hay is almost the only farm product that has held its own during the general slump. There has not been an over production of hay. The price of good, clear alfalfa still sticks up around thirty dollars a ton. Now, whenever we get te thinking too much about the short- Barium Springs, (N. C.) Messenger age of money, we just stop and go to thinking about alfalfa. For our first cutting yielded 140 tons. This together with the first cutting of clover, runs us up to nearly Five Thoysand Dollars worth of good, hay—an article that we would have to buy if our fields did not yield so bountifully. At this writing, our barns are nearly half full, and with the next three cuttings of alfalfa, they should be entirely full for the winter. Ten Thousand Dollars worth of hay! That sounds like a lot; but before the winter is over, that will be transformed into Twenty Thousand Dollars worth of milk, and about Twenty Thou- sand pounds of good beef; and all the milk and all the beef will, by another process, be transformed into three hundred and sixty growing boys and girls. The land that looked so rough last winter, when it was in process of being cleared, has a real civilized apperance now, and the corn on it is growing nicely. The land that was “Stumped” with so much effort last winter, looks especially fine, and now we can look through this corn which already commences to show promises of good returns, to the eighty or more hogs that this corn will fatten this fall, and visvalize many a yood hot supper of grits and sausage! And it does not make any particular difference to us what the price of corn may be, or the price of sausage, it will taste just as good to us, as though it cost a dollor a pound, or ten cents a pound. if we can just keep our minds off those things. We wish we could take our friends, over all the enterprises at Barium Springs, so they might see how much is produced here to- wards our own living. To feedour herd of 110 head of milk and beef cattle, it takes over 300 tons of hay; and 225 tons of silage, besides quite a bit of grain. Then, at least fifty tons more of hay has to be raised for the mules, of which there are thirteen, eighty sheep, and seventy-five rabbitts. Don’t laugh about these rabbitts, because they will eat as much hay as two cows! And that is about all they eat. ° We have to raise at least three thousand bushels of corn to take care of corn bread, and feed for our mules and hogs. The amount of pork that we raise varies with the corn crop, and runs from twelve thousand pounds a year to twenty thousand pounds. When it comes to fruit, we can eat ten bushels a day, and not even look bloated; and anything over that can be canned and used in the winter. crop, with apples showing no promise whatever. For vegetables, we raise some of everything you ever heard of and some that you never heard of, and manage to have something on the table even in the winter time, from the truck farm. It is haré to give the ameounts on this, but the total runs up into size- lable figures. When it comes to poultry, we do not begin to raise enough to supply us all that we would like to have. Still three hundred hens, and four or five hundred frying size chickens during the year, en- ables everyone to at least get a taste. We usually slaughter twenty-five to thirty sheep during the year, and from fifty to seventy-five rabbitts. By the way, some of you may be wearing seal-skin coats made out of the skins of these rabbitts. We find a ready sale for their pelts. This year, we are branching out into peanuts and, of course, have a big patch of watermellons & cantaloupes. You may buy some of these peanuts at a footbal game—who knows? We know they will taste better from having been raised at Barium. The purpose of this editorial is to cheer you up and to cheer ourselves up. It is written in sight of the hedge of roses that lines our highway, and these roses are now in full bloom and are most beautiful. It makes the campus look greener, and the shade cooler than ever before. We hope it will bring a note of cheer into what seems to be an unbroken record of hard times. We don’t want it to make you feel too good, however, and get you to thinking that we can live entirely on the sight of roses and what we raise on the farm. Saiaries have to be paid. We have to have an electric current. We have to use quite a bit of coal. The Insurance Companies just will not take vegetables as a payment on premiums; and in spite of our abundant yield of our various enterprises here, we do not have a whole lot of money yet. The point is; that it is not a hopeless proposition; the Lord is smiling on us, and making us see that the business of running this great Institution is a partnership affair; and we human members of the partenership should not have any misgivings, with that knowledge in our minds.

DON’T WORRY People, as well as seeds, get too crowded. One thing chokes out an- other in our lives, and too it is the best that gets choked out. We are living so fast, we have so much to do, so many interests. As some one, feeling the disadvantage of this hurry said, “I am in danger of being jostled out of my spirituality.” It is a real danger. and one that threat- ens us all in our rushing life. Cares, worries, distractions, seems to grow in our hearts as naturally as weeds in a garden. Some people think worries quite harmless, but Christ spoke very strongly against them as most potent for evil in our lives, in the way of crowding out the goods. He warned us strongly against all anxiety. He said plainly that it can add nothing to our stature, possessions or success, but instead does us harm and grieves our Heavenly Father, who all the while is caring for us. There are two things at least, about which we should never worry. First, the things we can’t help. If we can’t help them, worrying is certainly most foolish and useless. Secondly, the things we can help. If we can help them let us set about it, and not weaken our powers by worry. Pluck up the small- est roots of wofry at their first appearance, or they will crowd out all beautiful things that ought to grow in our hearts.—Hallock, JULY—1931 WHAT IS LIFE TO YOU To the preacher life's a sermon, To the joker it's 2 jest To the miser life is money, To the loafer life is rest.

Mrs. Privette had a wreck the other day and got the side of her car torn up. It is fixed now though. School is out and everybody is glad to have a summer vacation. One of our boys, Brandon Glasgow, went home for the week end. The strawberries are all gone. We certainly did enjoy them while they were here. We have three boys to from Davidson this year. ; The swimming pool is open now and everybody is going in swimming. We all went to the movies last night to see “Trader Horn.” Some of the boys are planning to start working their vacations this week and will start work Monday, June 15, that will be fine. The ones who worka week of their vacation hope to go to Myrtle Beach and stay a week. We had such a good time last year. The weather is fine these days. With the exception of Saturday when we had a large hail strom and the hail was as big as pedabers. Some of the boys made a fish pond and put some minnows in it, the storm wash- ed away the fish and filled the pond with sand. We have been fishing in the branch for minnows. Everybody is playing tennis now. We have a court overat the Woman’s Building, one at Mr. Lowrance’s, and two at Mr. Johnston’s. CARMET SIGMON P.O.

Swimming, hay rides pic- nics and every thing imaginable that is good means nothing but vacation, which is here at last. We know our teachers need it after these months of struggle to pull us through. We think we deserve it, especially the rising Sophs who despite the depress- ing prophesies of those higher up courageously pulled through our first year in high school. No one from our floor has gone on a vacation, yet a lot will svon be leaving. It seems as if they all agreed to take vacation at the same time. _We are very proud of ourselves since we won the music medal this year again. Elsie Brown being the lucky girl. But it was hard work, rather than luck, which enabled her to win it. We have managed to cap- ture it for several years in succes- sion. We are getting peaches now, and they surely are good to us.

These were: An endowed scholarship, in the sum of $5,000 which is being established at the college by Miss Catherine Hanes, of Winston-Salem, in memory of her aunt, who bore the same name, and was educated at Mitchell college; a gift of $2,000 which will be used to provide courses in chemistry in the college, given by Mrs. S. Clay Williams, of Winston-Salem, in honor of her mother, Mrs. J. E. Sherril, of Mooresville, an alumna of the insti- tution; a gift of four lots in States- ville, from Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Carlton, the proceeds from the sale of these lots to be used for building a Gym- nasium at the college, to be known as the Carlton-Walton gymnagium. The alumnae dinner marking Mit- chell college’s diamond anniversary, was an occasion of unusual interest and was attended by more than 100 alumnae, trustees and former teach- ers. — P. 0.

Page Four Service It is a dwarfed or soul-crippled per- | son who measures all values in terms | of how they suit his convenience or his pleasure. The gunman who ruth- lessly shoots down any one who stands between him and his plan, no matter how selfish or unimportant it is, is an egotist of the first water. The matron of exclusive social stat- us who had rather be spending a life in complete obedience to the un- written mandates of artificial con- vention than in helping to make the world a better place, is an egotist of another kind. All those who ever vision themselves as the center of | all things and relate their activities on the assumption that Self is the only thing that must be considered are no less anarchistic than many of the wretches hunted down by the police, Now the number of assassins and rogues is much smaller than the num- ber of peopke who do not live by crime, Few men or women who have drifted into evil ways are without some better traits. Most of the bad people have their better moments and see things a little straighter than at other times. Only a very small num- ber of the worst in the social scale fail to realize that there is such a thing as good and that good is to be desired over that which does not conform to No person with intelligence of high- school grade fails to understand that the whole of existence is contingent on the subordination of the petty and selfish to the highest interest of all. The average person you meet would be indignant should you accuse him of being too much absorbed in self. Immediately he would tell you of his benefactions, of the progressive mea- sures he stands for, of his dislike of all oppressions of the weak. All of us acknowledge Service. We look down on the person who declines to be of service when the opportun- ity presents itself. But do we not sometimes dis the little opportu- nities for service? Do we not too often look for some form of service that will get us talked about and have our vanity tickled? Real heroes do perform service of heroic quality on occasion, but such | instances are exceedingly rare. The sum total of little services performed infinitely overbalances the sum total of services that pin medals on the chest and put bold, black type on the front page of newspapers. One may not have in the average lifetime a chance to perform ovtstanding ser- | vice, Whereas everyone has from day to day, from week to week, from year to year, many openings for such ser- vice as the world needs. It may be entered as of record and taken as a guiding fact that one who too well remembers himself in the search for distinguished service that will set him over other men, wastes his life playing about the fleshpots, while the person whe is so oceupied with the desire to serve others that selfish thoughts are crowded out, will find a harvest of good things to be done,—and will do them.—(Oxford Orphanage Friend.) —P. 0.

The boys sweat through overalls and pants out at work in the field. The farm boys are threshing wheat and they expect to get a thousand or more bushels. The stacks are going | around the barn and the tractor runs steadily all day. We are getting peaches now and} they certainly help out a weak meal or Sunday night supper. The applies | are getting ripe tco. Last Friday the new Red Poll buil jumped the fence and started for home, which is near Stuart Va.. The dairy boys chased him for a mile or two toward Statesville and when he was finally headed off he started mm the other direction. Back on the cam- pus other boys joined the chase and after much chasing and nearly scar- ing the girls who were in swimming, to death, he was surrounded and driven into a barn. Tennis is in vogue now and_ the courts are crowded every night after supper, except when most of the boys go to town to see the show. We haven't had any rain now for . ; Barium Springs, (N, C.)

S. “Carmania” Fourth day out, 1200 miles from home.) Saturday, June 13—Dear Messen- ger: It is almost two weeks since I left home, but from the looks of the ocean, “much water has flowed under the bridge.” My first week was spent with relatives in Pennsyvania where I was supposed to fast, but instead jof a feast of reason and a flow of |} the soul it was a feast of good things and a fiow of Irish wit. But before that 1 had a most de- |lightful trip from home to Pennsyl- | Vania. All the bus lines are comfor- |tuble, but I have never found one to equal the one that runs between Roa- noke and Chambersburg, Pa., for ser- vice, comfort, scenery, and historical interest, The night at Winchester was a restful one and you’ get more for | your money there than any hotel I Was ever in. A pleasant day was spent in New York, and at 8 P. M., we boarded the vessel, First Hearing Of | Sa Yesterday was Sunday and began in rather a dramatic way. I was | dreaming I had some wood to build a fire and the Synod boys and I were to have a picnic near the depot, when I heard an awful fall. Jumping up I found Miss Shank had fallen from l the upper berth. For a time we fear- ed she would net be able to continue | }her journey, but today is much im- proved. i |tanburg, S. C., preached an excellent sermon on “Love.” At 3 P. M., Rey. 1 Sherden gave the message on Nabe splendid of High Point, gave another sermon on “Christianity.” | Just after Iunch we heard that the) Submarine Nautilus was disabled | #nd we were going to the rescue. Af- | ter muck watching she came in about | ¥:30 P. M., with a body guard of the | Ohio and Wyoming.

A writer in Boston Transcrip has dug up a list of old-time ques~ tions, showing the trend of inquiry in the Middle Ages. Here are a few: “Why did God not will that a man should be hungry only once a week? Answer: Hunger is a punishment | for Adam’s sin, |_ What makes beasts mad? Answer: | Looking at a certain star on the 21 ;day of the March moon. “Why did Noah bring serpents into the ark? Answer: In obedience to God, who having created them for his glory, did not wish them de- | stroyed. “What language does a deaf- mute understand in his heart? An- swer: Adam’s therefore Hebrew. |A child brought up without being | taught any language would speak Hebrew spontaneously. “If my parents had not existed, |how should I have been born? An. swer: The number of living things | are foreseen from all eternity, hence you would have been born from other parents. “When God made Adam, how old was he? (No nswer:). “Will idiots be damned? (No an- | swer). While the propounders of the questions appeared to claim an un- usual insight into the workings of the Almighty, they hesitated to ven- ture answers to the last two. We, too, would hesitate to answer them, jalthough we have heard people re- |fer to that kind of idiots. — P. 0.

In some ways it is the most Important department, and yet it is one that very few Orphanages had until about 10 years ago. It was only after we commenced to use case work that we discover- i was. People who run hospitals wonder how they ever got along without x-ray machines or departments for strictly diagnostic work. Well, that is the way Orphanages feel about case work. In 1926 a case worker was added to the staff at Barium Springs, and then shortly afterward we wrote an article on this work. The pamphlet was called “CASE WORK, WHAT IS IT? AND WHY?” Much to our surprise, there were calls for this pamphlet from all over the United States, and believe it or not—Australia. In the preparation for this article we have re-read that ancient pamphlet, and’ it still sounds like pretty good reading We will quote the first paragraph which attempts to define Case VW ork: “Case Work as used by Orphanages is simply the careful in- vestigation of the individual application, by someone who is thorough- ly trained in the aims and purposes of the institution he or she serves, and all the other agencies for child relief operating in the territory for which the application arises.” Now, that is a splendid definition as far as This is it goes, but it covers only one-third of the duties of the case worker. In order to get started with this article, howevcr, we will con- centraie on this definition for a while, Applications pour in to Ba- from 300 year, involving MISS REBEKAH CARPENTER to 500 children. Most of these applications come with a recommen- dation from pastors, church officers, Auxiliary members, or other interested church members. Some applications eome to us from Welfare Departments. Other applications come to us from parents themselves or other relatives. Without a Case Worker, we would just take the first 60 children, who would fill up a year’s vacancies, end say “No” to the balance. However, with a Case Worker, these applications are taken, they are investigated, relatives are interviewed, the purposes of the Or- phanage explained, and other forms of relief are gone into, with a net result that over half of these applications are taken care of by the relatives themselves without going any further. Phe next largest number are taken care of through some other form of relief, principally State Mothers’ Aid. Quite a number of others are cleared up simply by an explanation of what the Orphan- age is trying to do. Some people actually think they are doing the Orphanage a favor when they recommend children for entry here, and we have actually been urged to advertise the Orphanage in peri- odicals just as though it were a preparatory school. The Case Worker, in investigating the cases, gets to know the children. She gets to know the relatives and the neighbors and the neighborhood from which each family of children comes. When a family is accepted, the Case Worker quite often is the only person at Barium whom they have ever seen before. Her’s is the one familiar face that they see on their arrival here. When relatives visit the Orphanage, quite often the Case Work- er is the only person with whom they have any sort of an acquain- tence. It is throvgh her that other contacts are made. The Case Worker’s table in the dining room is always filled up with the new-comers. She introduces them to the other children. That leads us to a description of the second duty of the Case Work- er; i. e., the contact-person with the relatives of the children here with the old home. All during a child’s stay at Barium the Case Worker visits the old home at every opportunity possible, keeping in touch with parents or other relatives. She takes first-hand news, she arranges vacations and visits, and explains so many thines +o these relatives that might otherwise appear awkward and unfair (Continved On Page Two) THE BARIUM MESSENGER Page Two x —— , yr 7 - B A {2 | U \ { \i ESS! os] i 5 K tk | REV.

This duty leads up to the third and possibly the most important of the Case Worker’s duties, keeping in contact with the children after they leave here. One of the most frequent questions a : you do with your children when they graduate?” — The op:nion seems to be in so many quarters that when a child is graduated or reaches the age for leaving the Orphanage he is handed his hat and a bundle of clothes and put out of the front door and the door lock- ed behind him. Such is not the case. Contacts are. made with the relatives or with the people with whom he will likely work. After the boy or girl leaves, many visits are made to see how they are getting along, to helo them make changes in their work and in “Big Brother” to the youngsters who with sked us is this: “What de many ways ploy the part of “E are trying their wings for the first time. : From this brief description, you can see the three-fold duties of investigation and diagno- en the Orphanage and that of a Big ttempting to make the Social Service Department: That of sis of applications, that of liason afficer betwe and the homes from which the children come; Brother lending a helping hand to those who are a their first contacts on their own. Quite a job! In addition to this, there are many other duties. Let us enumer- ate: First, since the Case worker is familiar with the health situation in families before they come to Barium, it is perfectly natural that she should assist and keep a check on health measures for those children after they enter. Second, the keeping of records, case histories, health charts, school records, etc., that are necessary | to give an accurate picture of the child’s past, present and an indica- tion of its future. A boy or girl joins the Church. That fact eventually finds its way into the child’s history. When a boy or girl earns a letter in any of the sports, that fact is noted on the social record of the child. Any illness or any operation are also placed in the records. A re- sult of the annual clinics, in the weighing and measuring becomes a part of the record in this department. One other thing that has been added in rece graphic history of each family. This is one of and informative things that you can imagine. family group has a kodak picture made of it and one 0 : pictures is placed in the Case History of that particular family. person can look at these pictures and check most accurately the yearly progress of that family. Here is an interesting thing: One of these pictures located a sick child. It was when we were study- | ing these pictures that we noted a dejected appearance on a little girl who was very vivacious when spoken to. It was only when she relaxed in having her picture taken that her run-down appearance was noted. With this clue and others, the child was found to be quite ill and the necessary measures were adopted to restore her wo health. Later pictures told quite a different story. Barium Spring’s first Case Worker was Miss Frances Steele. She came to us from Georgia where she had done similar work for the Red Cross. She served seven years, with the exception of one] year, at which time she was in New York taking a special course 1D | this particular work. While she was away, Miss Portia Mengert did} her duties.

She knows their relativs better than any person here. She has visited the homes of prac-| tically all the other children and of the graduates for the last three years. Miss Steele faced the tremendous job of installing a system \s and breaking in a new job, Miss Carpenter has the tremendous job of a ing our work to the new laws that have been passed durin th: st year. ina has had small Mother’ Tt was not nearlv enourh to take care of all the families that might have been served with a Mother’s Aid grant.

Several of our girls have gone and Arabella Gray has come back. Lilly Bell Smith, Jacquelin Newman and Ann McDonald are going Saturday. Mr. Grier took the girls, who are not expecting a vacation, to a play at the colored people’s school in Troutman. They reported a good time. We are enjoying the swimming pool these hot days. Ruth May, Marion Coffey, Eve- lyn Coppedge, Mary Nell Pearson, Elizabeth Langley, Betty Dorton and Miss Woods all went to the June birthday table this month, We have been working in our flower garden and they are grow- ing real well. Nearly everybody at Howard has a flower bed and they enjoy working in them. The Young People’s conference crowd at Mitchell College came down here Thursday afternoon for a pienic. Some of them looked over the cottages. Miss Carpenter is very good to us and takes us to the ball field every week after supper. The following girls have recited the Child’s Catechism: Ruth May, Lula Belle Hall, Mae Allen Barrett, Marion Coffey, Crosby Mundy, Edith Powell, Mary Alice Stevens, Ann McDon- ald, Lucile Smith and Arabella Gray.

We older heads remember most vividly the struggle that our secondary schools had when the State really commenced to do 2 job in secondary education. Our State was pretty thoroughly dotte with good schools like Westminster, Grove and others that we might mention; but when the State put good high schools where these schools were, “here was no longer the nececsity tor the church tc carry on this secondary education. The Church had shown the way, and the State had consolidated. Now, the situation in regard to part of the program oft child relief is similar to that. The Orphanages have taken care of father less children and experimented with the Mother’s Aid program. Nearly all of the Orphanages have done some of this work. The State, following the example of these Orphanages, put on an experi- ment and found it workable, and now that is consolidated in a real program which from this time forward should take care of al’ Mothers’ Aid families. The Orphanages can relinguish this part of their load and proceed to take care of that multitude of other chil- dren who can not be taken care of in this way. It is still showing the way. Maybe some day the State can take another portion of the load, but only after the Church and Fraternal organizations have shown the way. What children will they take? We wish you could come to Ba- rium and spend the day with our Case Worker and have her read, the results of her investigations of hundreds of families, where the | mother is dead, the father helpless and the children neglected. No- where does there seem any way to take care of those children. Some- how the Church is not yet quite so sympathetic over helping @ be- reaved father as they are in helping a bereaved mother; and so often that father needs help even more than the mother.

XIV BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., AUGUST, 1937 NO. 11 —— =—_—_— ’ —— House Mothers =: ———} For the past year or more we have been writing special articles on the various departments, and we published last month the final one of this series; but when we commenced to sum up the situation, we found that we had left out the most important group of workers at the institution. They do not belong primarily to any department, and yet, they have a greater effect on the children passing through the institution than any other group of workers employed. They are the House Mothers or Matrons. Let us introduce them to you: Miss Maggie Adams is the head matron, and in charge of the High School girls as her particular responsibility. At the same time, she has general oversight of the other House Mothers. She lives at the Lottie Walker Building, and there are usually from 50 to 70 girls under her care. Miss Mildred Stevenson is the matron in Rumple Hall, and she has from 32 to 40 girls under her care, ranging in age from 12 to 16 years. They are the dining room crew. Miss Verna Woods is the Howard Cottage matron, and she has 28 girls from eight to fourteen years of age. Miss Kate McGoogan is the Annie Louise matron, with from 32 to 36 girls from six to ten years of age. Mrs. J. K. McGirt is the Baby Cottage matron and has from 20 to 25 boys and girls from two to six years of age. How would you like that job? Miss Kate Taylor is the Synod Cottage matron with 32 to 36 boys from six to ten years of age. Miss Elizabeth Reid is Alexander matron with 35 to 40 boys from 10 to 16 years of age. Miss Mary Turner is Lee’s Cottage matron with 32 boys from 10 to sixteen years of age. Jennie Gilmer Cottage, of high school boys, does not have a ma- tron, but Miss Nannie Johnston is housekeeper, and performs a good many duties that falls to the matrons of other cottages. Now, all a matron has to do is to be in her cottage 24 hours a day to see that her children get up in time for breakfast, that they are properly clothed, that they arrive at breakfast on time, that they get to school on time, that they spend the necessary time on their books, that they change their school clothes to their work clothes for their period of work in the afternoon, that they come in from their recreation hour on time, that they get to supper on time, that they get to bed on time, that they are in good _ health, that they sleep well, that they get up in a good humor, that they are toned down when they are too exuberant and cheered when they are despondent, and then, in addition to these duties, she must always have time to listen to a child’s grievance and to clear up misunder- standing between the children and between the children and grown-ups. They take the place of a mother in a home for these very much enlarged families. ies Visitors to Barium see the children in school, or in the dining room, or in their work groups, and no doubt think of the Orphanage as one big family. We are not exacty one big family, but nine big families, and we live in a little village where these families come into rather intimate contacts with each other. These families have the same problems that an ordinary family has. Sometimes these problems are magnified tremendously by the number of people involved, and the smooth running of these families is largely in the hands of the matrons. ; At the beginning pf the Orphanage work very little atten- tion was paid to the kind of matron employed. If she was willing to work for little enough money and if she was strong and could retain discipline with a strong hand, she was pretty apt to be a success- ful matron. Not so very much intelligence was required of her, but a good strong back. Even in those beginnings of the Orphanage work there were some most excellent women doing the work of matrons. In fact, it was the success of these few that pointed the way to the present stage when much more is required of a matron and so much more con- sideration is given her. Now, the matron is recognized as the key-person in the whole Orphanage set-up. She is the person that comes in more intimate contact with the children. She has more to do with their training and the shaping of their thoughts. She is in the lives of the children in her family if she is a good matron. She rejoices when they rejoice and grieve when they grieve. She has a tremendous lot of work to do - the sort of work that is wearing on most folks, and yet she must never grow tired. She must get up in the morn- ing as though the day that was breaking were the day that she had lived all her life to greet. And she needs to impart to her family of boys or girls some of this enthusiasm so they will look forward to the day not as a hum-drum repetition of other days, but as a new experience crowded with new opportunities and pleasures. A good matron can’t help but love the children under her care and yet she must not have pets. And you don’t know what a temp- tation it is to have pets, among the chidren. Barium Springs is extremely fortunate in her matrons. They are a loyal, congenial group of women, and to describe them in detail would be to describe just what ideal of an Orphanage ma- tron should be. There have been many complimentary: things said about the children at Barium Springs, about their success in the things that they undertake to do, their likeability and their good citizen- ship. We all like to take some credit to ourselves for these things, but we must hand the largest share to the matrons. An insti- tution may have the finest equipment in the world, and money with- out end, and still not do a satisfactory work if they do not have a staff of good, unselfish, Christian women as their matrons, or Cot- tage mothers. An Orphanage may have the finest organization and the best of training in the various trades and professions, but if that foundation of all things in the cottage is weak, the work of the Or- will be weak. phartte different Orphanages in this section of the country have different systems. Some of them have children of both sexes and all ages in one cottage, having naturally, a small group to each cot- tage, with its separate dining room, making it more like the or- dinary home than the system that others employ. A child will enter a cottage of this kind, and he or she stays there until they finish their sojourn at the Orphanage. The other extreme is for a child to en- ter an Orphanage and stay in a cottage with other children of near one age and then moved up to a cottage of older children. They do look forward to the time ¢ so _—_——- cottage where they i re duties an ave more pleasures. ; e Both ayer have their advantages. The latter is used at Ba- rium, not so much from choice but because of the arrangement of the buildings and the practice that has been employed for so many years. hrive and develop faster under these promotions. — (Continued On Page Two) CONCORD PRESBYTERY LED OTHERS WN SYNOD Concord First Church Is See- ond In Per Capita Giving.

In 1935-1936, there were 69 churches in this category. Twelve of these 69 failed to average $1.20 in the year that concluded last March 31st, but there were 25 others that “made the grade” in the past 12 months to make the grand number equal 82 for a net gain of 13 over the previous year. Churches dropping out of the $1.20 classification were Morgan- ton, Lumberton, Cleveland, For- est City, Madison, Lincolnton, Ed- enton, St. Andrews (M), West Ra- leigh, Geneva and Raeford. New-comers to the grouping were Cherryville, Gibson, Erwin, Hephzibah, Oxford, New Bern, Howard Memorial, Raleigh First, Highland, Covenant (KM), Bakers, Godwin, Goldsboro, Myatt’s, Shi- loh (F), Cann Memorial, Aibe- marle, Monroe, Ashewood, West Avenue (KM), Dunn, Lake Wac- ecamaw, Mount Airy, Fayetteville First, and Union Mills.

It is going to be a little booklet, made up of the very interesting departmental articles that Jos. B.

For’ the last |three years Children’s Home has |turned the tables. In last year’s | rating, the Children’s Home was | the unanimous choice as the No. 1 high school team of the state. Ba- rium Springs rated No. 3. This game will no doubt dedicate the new football field being built by the Children’s Home. The city sta~ dium will not be completed in time for this game. On Octcber 15th, back at Ba- | rium, with Lexington High School as the invading team. This is real- ly one of the big games on Ba- 'rium’s schedule. The score is always |close, with the number of victories practically even. The outcome of this game nearly always determines either the champion or the runner- up of the South Piedmont Confer- ence. | After this game the next two will be away from home. The 22nd is at Concord. Barium will be play- ing another strong South Piedmont Conference team. The 29th is at Kannapolis—a team that is always strong, and one that has given Barium a harder contest than a!- yur matron.

For the last few years Statesville has been woefully weak, but the way their 125-lb. team played last year they should have a real varsity this year. They will be heavier than Barium, and if they will just get to clicking, there will be an- other grand game. On November 12th, Barium goes to Hickory, and Hickory is vowing to get vengeance for three straight defeats. They are really planning to turn the tables and bring about an upset like that which happen- ed four years ago, when they de- feated Barium by a score of 25-9. On November 19th, at Albemarle, a real game will be played. Do you |remember the Albemarle-Barium ‘game last year?

All day Friday the group met as a whole hearing reports from state and religious homes. By the time the General Association open- ed its meeting on Friday night. there was a pretty clear picture of the entire problem facing our Southern Orphanages before us. On Saturday morning the Or- phanages were accorded a special place on the program for a dis- cussion of their affairs and a dis- cussion of changes brought about by recent legislation was heard with apparent interest of all mem- bers of the Educational Association. It appears that the Orphanage work is entering into a new phase that the care of fatherless chil- | dren with living mothers will »o} longer constitute as large a per- centage of the Orphanage work as heretofore. The aid to depen- dent children act, which is now ic operation in most of the southern states, will relieve the Orphanage of this particular part, leaving the Orphanages free to offer help to that much larger group that, so far, has had no shelter offered them. These are the children from motherless homes where the fa- ther is unable to provide. Saturday afternoon the Orphan- age group met and listened to a most interesting address by Mr. W. L. Painter, head of the Chil- drens’ Department of Public Wel- fare of Virginia. Mr. Painter was at one time in Orvhanage work in North Carolina and has a clear grasp of the situation, both from the public angle and from the in- stitution also. On Sunday there was the usual inspiring addresses and sermons. Monday was taken up in the draw- ing up of resolutions and findings. This was turned over to the find- ings committee of the Educational Association. Tuesday was given over to sight-seeing. A cavalcade of cars took the entire group on a trip through the mountains, having lunch at Grandfather Orphanage at Banner Elk. After this the va- rious delegations dispersed to their own homes. One of the high lights of the meeting was the supper given by Mountain Orphanage on Friday night to the emtine Orphanage group. The good accomplished at this meeting seemed to be so great and the cost so little that a similar meeting will no doubt be attempt- ed in 1938. The cost for those at- tending was cme of transportation | only and the length of the confer- | ence was such as to allow many perscmal interchange of experiences and of opinions that were possibly of as much value as the open dis- cussions. A copy of the findings of this | conference is printed below. The} findings of the entire Association | will appear in the minutes of the | educational ecmference which will | be published soon. Committee On Findings The general theme of the Or- phanage Group group conference was, “the adjustment of our pol- icies to changing needs’’. In answer to the questions, | “What are the changing needs? phere for three weeks will do a lot | And what shall be our attitude operation of all interested agen- cies in such a program. Second, it is the opinion of the Orphanage group that the govern- mental program for Mother’s Aid, and the care of dependent children, will not by any means solve the entire problem of child dependency. Third, that state aid to children in their own homes will tend to change the methods of our orphan- age work, but will not lessen the responsibility of the church in or- | phanage work. Fourth, the Southern Presbyter- ian Church is not attempting to carry too heavy a load of orphan- age work. The statistics show that the average throughout the South- ern Presbyterian Church is 350 members for each orphan child cared for; and the average contrib- uted is one per cent per member per week. Fifth, in answer to the question as to how best to correlate the welfare work with the other work of the church, we consider the Or- phanage work an internal part of the church’s program and the church’s duty. Sixth, our homes are grounded in Christian faith. The children in these homes are carefully in- structed in the Scriptures and in the catechisms of the church. The effort of the Orphanage is to develop Christian character’ in all the children, with due regard to their individual personality, that they! may become capable Christian men and women. The children are surrounded by Chris- tian workers, whose first desire is the development of Christian character. The purpose of the Or- phanage is expressed by the things set out in “Aims and Functions of our Orphans Homes.” Recognizing the need cf Chris- tian training for dependent children nd, in obedience to the teachings of Scripture, our Orphanages aim to provide these children of our church, and unchurched, with such an environment, edgidation, and Christian training as will meet their needs, qualify them for citi- zenship in the state and in the Kingdom of God, and discharge our Scripture imposed obligations. To accomplish the above, Orphan- ages should function as homes, giving as long-term care as may be necessary, until the child’s own home may be safely re-established, or the child may be sufficently trained to take its place as a Christian citizen in the state, hav- ing provided Christian education with definite instructions in the Scriptures and catechisms of the ‘hurch. This must be given by people of Christian conviction and | character. Duke Offers Course Through the efforts of Dr. Greer of Mills Home, Mr. Proctor of Ox- ford Orphanage, and Dr. Jamieson of Connie Maxwell Orphanage, a most excellent Summer School for orphanage workers was arranged in connection with the regular Duke Summer School. This year t was frankly an experiment. It appeared to be so successful that it will no doubt be continued and enlarged from year to year. The students enrolled for a_ three weeks’ course. There were courses arranged for by the members of the Duke faculty and special lec- tures by invitation. The enrollment was from North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor- gia, Florida, Virginia and New York. It remains to be seen just what the benefits of this will be. It certainly is evident that no longer is a matron just somebody who could not get a job at any- thing else. It is becoming more and more a highly spccialized profession requiring exception=1 ability and special education. The courses of study are sincerely designed to bring more intelligence and understanding to the job, to | the end that there will be fewer failures in the children under their care. It would have done you well to have seen this group. They fitted in remarkably well with the other students at the Duke Summer ' School. School teaghers, under- eraduates, and others did not have a thing on this group for style, for leoks and for an appearance of general intelligence. We feel sure that being in a college atmos- to revive and rejuvenate those THE BARIUM MESSENGEK lincome Distribution Synod’s total of $9,764.17 to the | Orphanage in the first third of the | present year is distributed be- | tween the Church budgets with | $3,157.62; the Sunday Schools’ Of- ferings of $4,893.62, and the Aux-| iliaries contributions of $1,712.93. | On a percentage basis, the divis- ion is: Church budgets, 32.3%, Sunday Schools, 50.1%, and Aux- ilaries, 17.6% The giving by these three sources in each Presbytery is as follows: Presbytery Ch.

Of the other 241 churches reporting gifts to th: Orphanage, 102 gave between 25 and 50 cents per person, and the other 139 averaged less than 25 cents per member. Below will be found the names of all the churches that averaged as much as 25 cents per person to the Orphanage. The 82 that gave $1.20 or more are arranged in numerical and tabulated form, and to the right of each church is the position of rank that it! occupied in 1935-1936.

We hope there will be an even larger enrollment next year.

Dear Sir: Name Although I know that The Barium Messenger is sent to me gratis every month I want to make a personal con- tribution toward the publication of these 22,060 monthly copies, and am therefore enclosing a special gift of $——— for this particular phase of the work at Barium. iniiieneiaiaiiain AUGUST, 1937 homes and we should urge the co- | PROGKAM FOR USE THIS (Continued From Page One) sume more than the alloted time on a program. When anyone reads, ‘and reads thoroughly, these arti- cles they will have a comprehen- sive idea of the magnitude of the Orphanage endeavor and the mani- fold details involved in providing and caring for the several hun- dred children here. It is suggested that one article be assigned to an Auxiliary mem- ber for presentation of the essen- tial facts, another article to a sec- ond member of the Auxiliary, etc., until all of the articles have been assigned or until such number has been assigned as will be used this fail. Half of the articles might be | presented to the Auxiliary and the other half before the Sunday School. ; Not long ago a very active and interested leader in Orphanage work suggested that these be pre- pared in pamphlet form. That had been planned already, for around 5,000 reprints have been made af- ter each article appeared in The Messenger. In traveling about the Synod a great many indivi- duals have commented upon this and that article. And, now, all of these are to be available in book- let form. If you read them the first time, it will be interesting to read them a second time. There's a wealth of information in each one. When you have finished them all it will be just like a visit to the Orphanage, except for seeing the children and the actual work of each department in operation. When you do come to Barium you will know what to expect. As soon as the pamphlets are |ready a copy will be mailed to }each Orphanage Secretary, inso- far as those names are available from the annual reports mailed to Presbyterial Secretaries. When Auxiliaries do not have a specific individual! to present the Orphan- age a copy will be mailed to the president of the Auxiliary.

Receipts in July, 1937, ; contributions. If this is the cor-| rect interpretation, then there were $441.83 less than in the same | month a year ago. Writing that | statement and setting it forth in black and white hurt considerably. | That really is news nowadays, for | that’s the first time in “many a} moon” that the Synod has failed | to show a monthly increase to the | Orphanage. Years ago it was big | news of the first magnitude when Synod showed an increase, but nowadays its big, but not good, news when Synod shows a decline. Up until the July receipts were tabulated, the Synod of North Caro- | lina was ahead of its giving in April, May and June of 1936, but the drop of $441.83 makes a net decline of $287.86 for the first four months of 1937-1938. The interpretation being placed | upon this is that money is so plen- | tiful among the Presbyterians of | the Synod that more than the usu- | al number have taken vacations | and have not been at the ser- vices to make their contributions. Either that, or a number of the treasurers were on vacations in! July and could not forward the S. S. Meals The giving from the Sunday Schools of the Synod is “running” $194.97 behind that of April, May, June and July of 1936. On the ba- sis of 10 cents per meal per child (the actral cost in 1936 was 8.5 cents, but the figure of 10 cents is used as an average below) the Sunday Schools served 1,950 meals less in those four months than in the correponding period of 1936. This decrease is true because ot the absence of some reports, for the gifts that have been filed so far | from the Sunday Schools are al- most universally greater than the contributions for the same months a year ago. A few quarterly re ports, which did not arrive in July as usual, would have sent Sunday Schools ahead. Meals that could have been served for the past 28 months are as follows: | | }who were working ought to be a considerable rise in| income during the month of Au- gust. Kings Mountain Presbytery led the others in per capita giving during the particular month of; July. Its average was 5.6 cents per member. Mecklenburg was a close pursuer with an average ef 5.5 cents per person. In the standing of the Presby- teries, identical positions were maintained as follows: Winston-| Salem, first; Albemarle, second; | Mecklenburg, sixth and Granville. | seventh. Concord stepped up from fourth to third place; Kings Moun-| tain went from fifth to fourth; | Orange dropped from third to fifth position, and Wilmington and Fay- etteville swapped places.

Had all the boys, in the field, orchards and truck farm arrived in time for the occasion a good portion of that remaining 22% gal- lons would have been eaten. As it was, this was set aside for the late arrivals and after they had eaten to capacity there was enough ice cream left over to be served the following Sunday. The Concord First Sunday School is generously thanked. Every per- son there may definitely know that they were responsible for a most delightful afternoon for the chil- dren here. Despite the quantity of ice cream eaten, nobody was sick, though that is a little difficult of comprehension. If they weren't ill, some of them were inert and listless for a period of time. These visitors came about 3:30, toured over the campus for more than an hour, and then a crew of people started serving ice cream. ‘he crew was exhaustd when it was over.

That can be possible only if you come to Ba- rium on that annual occasion. The Pyner family visited Ba- rium this spring. George Pyner, 1920 alumnus and now located in Richmond, Va. (931 W. Grace St.) was visiting his two sisters in Charlotte and they all came up to Barium to spend the day. Mrs. W. A. Severs, 717, formerly Thel- ma Pyner, had with her her son, Jim; and Mrs: J. H. McCall, 717, formerly Katie Pyner, brought her daughter, Petty Paxton, along with her. Mrs. Severs lives at 321 Grandin Road, Charlotte, and Mrs. McCall at 1727 Parson St., Char- lotte. Did you notice in last month’s issue of The Messenger that Wil- liam Lee Hudson, ’29, had also visited the Orphanage this sum- mer? He told us to draw a draft upon him for $5.00 every month.

The exact number of replies re- ceived numbered 67. It is hoped that all who received such a letter and such a list will send the cor- rections to the Orphanage early this fall. On August 31st, 219 of the churches in the Synod of North Carolina had not reported a con- tribution to the support fund of the Orphanage since April ist, either a church budget appropria- tion, a Sunday School Offering or of a gift through the Auxiliary. The absence of reports from so many churches makes it rather difficult to meet the current ob- ligations that are naturally incur- red when several hundred chil- dren have to be provided for for 365 days of the year. Maybe there near Graham, and from Rocking- ham. From Bethany came the mem- bers of the Young Ladies’ Bible Class and the Young Mens’ Bible Class. From Rockingham came 35 men from the Men’s Bible Class. These various groups have come, they have seen, and they have gone back to their respective localities with renewed enthusiasm. The Bethany crowd makes an annual visit to the Orphanage, the one in August being the third pilgrim- age here. Come single, in quartets, or by the hundreds. We are always glad to have the visitors on the campus. Last winter, the weather at times was pretty bad. But, the bad weather did not affect the giving of one Sunday School with which we are familiar. The treas- urer sent a gift once and wrote, “This year, the roads and weather have been so rough that we have had no Sunday School nor any will be a large increase in income during the month of September. The pastor of one of the churches in the Synod of North Carolina told an official of the Orphanage re- cently that his congregation had voted to send money to the Or- Offering several times, so some of us doubled our contribution.” What a wonderful spirit. Similar instances of such procedure have been presented in other issues of this paper. If you get more than one copy has started. Six of us are in the first grade and one is in the second. We have two new teachers with us this year: Miss Hilton, who teaches in high school, and Miss McKethan, who teaches the third grade. Miss McKethan stays over here with us and we certainly en- joy having her. A church in Rowan sent us a gift to have a picnic and we are looking forward to having a fish fry. Two of our little boys, Kenneth Mayhew and Paul Barnes, have been in the hospital but are back with us again. Mama Girt has been sick and we are glad she is able to be up and around once more.

We plan to mail out a copy to each Auxiliary when they are ready for distribution. We have developed the habit of writing optimism in our articles on the table of receipts to such an extent that we found ditficulty in changing the tone and writing in the opposite trend when the July and August tables were pre- pared. However, we’re hoping that this has been a temporary decline and that the few hundred dollars’ difference between last year’s re- ceipts in the first five months and the income for the current year through August 31 will be made up by a larger giving drr- ing the coming months. Should this happen, we'll be able to re- turn to our optimistic tone and forget about the “depression” ek- le . } rv o } | | card notifying us of this fact? Tell a few from some of the j cottages.

The peak of the crop was reached a- bout August 9th, though we con- tinued to get some from the or- chards until September. The can- nery has been extraordinarily busy this summer, canning a two- vear supply of peaches, just ir case we don’t have a crop nex’ summer. You will recall that the cold killed the blooms in the spring of 1936 and we were limit- ed to about 100 bushels from the orchards and could not can any | last summer. That called for an loutlay of funds for canned fruits during the winter. Not only has the cannery being laying aside ‘these peaches in gallon cans, but a good many vegetables have also been canned for winter-time use. All told, the Orphanage has can- ned about 5,000 gallons of food stuffs this summer. Marie Smith and Mary Duffy Coppedge, two of our big sisters, have returned from their vaca- tions and reported a good time while gone. Mama Girt enjoyed an afternoon with Miss Carpenter at her home. On the same afternoon, Helen Price went to Concord to attend a Rally Meeting and spent part of the afternoon with her mother at home. Kathleen Monroe and _ Essie Jean Lee have had birthdays and their clothing people remembered them with lovely gifts.

Caldwell Memorial Sunday School, in Mecklenburg Presby- tery, is a new-comer to the group, for it was not among the 62 Sun- day Schools thus classified when 1936-1937 was over. The Hunting- ton Bible Class at Caldwell Mem- | ovial decided to give $300.00 for the support of a child at the O1- phanage, and that was immediate assurance that Caldwell Memoria! would be added to the roster this year. Enough funds have arrive from that Class and from the Sun- day School proper to permit offi- cials to list Caldwell Memorial among the 14 in that category to- day. Concord First Sunday School, im Concord Presbytery, is leading all others in the total amount con- tributed, for that Sunday School has sent $233.64. Runner-up to Concord First is Greensboro Firs*, in Orange Presbytery, with $191.- 61. The 14 Sunday Schools in the Club, and the amount contributed so far is as follows: Sunday School Amount Concord First ......... ......$233.64 Greensboro First ... 191.61 Ree PING ck. 155.00 Atewmars ............ 2. eee Tenth Avenue mess LOE Myers Park <hasteia.. ils moma oh Winston-Salem First . .. 128.56 TOI ooo Scene 119.45 Daa OS) 2a ac eee Shefby ........ seetcaaconsece eee ae North Wilkesboro . 106.23 Rockingham ean 103.79 Caldwell Memorial .- 101,00 Monroe ............ 100.90 As has been explained before, the total amount contributed by any Sunday School is not the true basis by which a Sunday School’s liberality can be guaged. That is determined only when the total sum contributed is figured on a per capita basis. If this were done at this stage of the year, a great many Sunday Schools would be ahead of some of the 14 listed | above. S. 5. Meals | Sunday Schools did an “about face” in their giving to the Or- phanage during the month of Au- gust. Not only did the Sunday Schools overcome that decrease of $194.97 that was noted in their) giving when July was concluded, but the giving of the past month was sufficiently large to enable them to go ahead of the record on August 31, 1936. The increase is nominal, to be sure—only $4.31 for the five months—but it is an in- crease nevertheless. That means that 43 more meals, at the rate of 10 cents per meal, could have been served with the responses. For the past 29 months, the following meals could have been served: Month = °35-'36 "36-37 "37-"33 | April 4.840 8589 7,569} May 10,948 11,049 11,778 June 13,178 14,694 14,43 | July 13.664 16.554 15.152 Aug. 10,429 11,006 12,999, Sept. 13,166 16,620 ?

Totals 164,936 184,582 61,935 In September, 1936, the Sunday Schools sent the Orphanage $1,- 662.00. Will the giving of the current month exceed that. The record shows that 216 Sunday Schools have reported contribu- tions during the first five months. Since 287 Sunday Schools made regular or special Offerings for Barium in 1936-1937 (exclusive of the Thanksgiving sums) it means that 71 Sunday Schools are yet to file their initial reports. If those are sent in during September, you can expect a large increase, for the majority of Sunday Schools reporting so far have shown in- creases. This shall be watched with keen interest. | Income Distribution The giving of the Auxiliaries in the Synod of North Carolina is the high-light of a review of the | Orphanage’s income during the | first five months of 1937-1938. The Auxiliaries have sent Barium $2,217.39 in the first five months, and that’s an increase of $210.29 over the $2,007.10 that was sent for the corresponding period in 1956-1937. Sunday Schools are barely on the “up” side when this compara- tive period is reviewed. The total from this source on August 31st was $6,193.51, which was a meagre increase of $4.31 over the aggre- gate sent by these organizations by August 31, 1936. If the church budget giving had shown an increase for the first five months, the situation would be much improved. But, appro- priations from the budgets have shown a perceptible decline. The actual decrease has been $540.27 less than the $4,267.14 that had | been received a year ago at this time. The two increases by the Aux- | iliaries and Sunday Schools total $214.60, and against that decline ot $540.27 from the church bud- gets, the net decrease in the five- month period has been $325.67. The total of $12,137.77 that has been sent to the Orphanage in April, May, June, July and Au- gust is three main sources as _ follows: Church budgets, $3,726.87; Sun- day School Offerings, $6,193.51, and Auxiliary contributions, $2,- 217.39. On a percentage basis, the division is: Church budgets, 30.- | 7%; Sunday Schools, 519%, and | Auxiliaries 18.3%. | This division of the funds by organizations in each Presbytery is as follows: | Presbytery Ch. oe .

GIVING OF SYNOD {Continued From Page One) byteries are the only two which have shown an increase in their giving to Barium in the first five months (new memberships in the 1937 Minutes of the General Assembly are used in this month’s tabulation).

Until this sum- mer it was 22,000 copies, but a re vision of the majority of name on the mailing list has been under taken during the summer period. with the result that there hes been a net increase of over a thou- sand names to date, with man more to be added, no doubt, as pas tors and indivud als whi h; been written continue to file cor- rections and additions with th< Orphanage. | Approximately two-thirds of the | pastors in the Synod have been sent rosters of people in their lo- cality who receive The Messenger. In towns and cities where ther are members of more than one | church, the revision on the part ai pastors is a little more difficult. | However, The Messenger has to | be mailed out according to the peo- ple in each town, and cannot be| arranged according to the | churches. A record has been kept at Ba |rium of the names that have been taken off the mailing list and the! new ones that have been added. At the present writing, 1,165 names have been ehiminated and 2,225 have been added, fer a net gain of 1,060. On top of this there have | been several hundred corrections in the addresses of individuals in the cities. It is a rather large task to} maintain an accurate list of 23,000 | names. If all were correct one day | there would be some changes to be made the following day. Indi- | viduals are more and more aiding | the Orphanage by sending postal cards to the institution when they move, within the city or to another locality. too, is the matter of duplications. The same family may be getting | more than one issue of the paper, or the names of different mem- bers of the family might be on the list, and it is not obvious to |the authorities here that it is a | duplication. In this connection, you | are asked to notify The Barium Messenger by postal card if two | copies come to your house. | | HUGH MITCHELL SPEAKS (Continued From Page One) | with Christain fortitude and grim achieve a fuller life.” There was one change and one , addition to the faculty for the | 1937-1938 scholastic session.

In | addition to the decision to follow | the usual procedure of the past several years it was decided to} set Sunday, November 7th. as a day when all members of the nine Presbytery committees would be invited to visit Barium Springs as a group, which would bring to- gether well over 100 committee-| men, who will be responsible for seeing that the Orphanage is ef-| fectively presented in all churches; during the Thanksgiving season. The motivating reason behind this decision to have the commit- tees visit the Orphanage for one day was the effectiveness of sucha visit made by Kings Mounthin Presbytery’s committee last fall. The chairman of that Presbytery called a meeting of his committee at Barium, and individual mem- bers were so filled with enthusi- asm and fortified with such “am- munition” that it was felt a sim- ilar reaction would follow the visit of all committee members to the Home. It was also decided by the com- mittee that 40,000 booklets would be published and distributed to the churches on the basis of one-half the membership. There are now 83.- 005 Presbyterians in the Synod, and it was felt that approximately half that number of booklets would be sufficient. Material for this is now in preparation. On the back of each Presbytery’s allotment will be the names of the commit- tee from that Presbytery, as was true in the 1936 pamphlets. The chairmen were asked to urge} churches to send delegations to Ba-} rium between now and Thanks- giving. No definite goal was set by the committee, except to make every effort to reach the sum of $51,338.58 that was contributed to| the Orphanage last fall as Thanks-| giving Offering. It was pointed} out that 53.7% of all that Synod} (Continnetd %n Page Four) Ernest Milton, Treasurer, 2 Barium Springs, N. C. Dear Mr. Milton: of “name sending you $._.

And, officials at} Barium hope that the number of | delegations and visitors are go- | ing to increase instead of diminish | | as the months go by. A few years ago, summertime was the period when most of the | people visited the Orphanage, but the trend has changed to fall. with | the largest number of visitors arriving during the months of | September, October and Novem-! ber. This is probably due to the| | fact that these three months pre-| cede the Thanksgiving Offering | the latter part of November, and the people want to come and see and get firsthand information about the work to which they are contributing. In the past month or more, dele- gations have come to the Orphan- age from churches in five of the nine Presbyteries of Synod, and this doesn’t include the Regents who were at Barium for the semi- annual meeting the latter part of September, or those who consti- tuted Synod’s Thanksgiving com- mittee and who met at the Or- phanage on September 28th to outline plans for the fall. The most recent delegation was a group of ten young ladies from a Bible Class in the Fuller Mem- orial Sunday School at Durham, in Granville Presbytery. This class has “adopted” one of the children at the Orphanage, and has pledged itself to send $50.09 this year for that child’s support. On one day in October, there were 24 people here from Tenth Avenue Church in Mecklenburg Presbytery, and 15 from Albemarle Church, in the same Presbytery. On successive days there were delegations at Barium from two churches in Kings Mountain Pres- bytery. Four carloads of folk came from Armstrong Memorial Church | in Gastonia one day, and five car- loads were here from Cherryville | the following day. Later on, two | carloads of men visited Barium | from Armstrong Memorial Church. One carload of interested people visited the Orphanage from the | Buffalo Church, near Greensboro, (Continuetd On Page Four) oe ; 5 4 as icnirliccleiscco ko 7 address. to whom you can write relationship to deceased Name _ Address warded to the Orphanage, Cov- enant Auxiliary, in the same Presbytery, did this last spring, it will be recalled, and the Coy- enant quilt brought $25.00. Group No. 2, of Albemarle Presbyterial, devoted its cial offering to Barium whe it met at Falkland, and i amounted to $13.75. Bethany Auxiliary, cord Presbytery, gave phanage $4.00 in 19% ‘ s its regular support, but decided that it would make it $1.09 a § month in 1937-1933. Five of tne $12.00 have already been sent. McKinnon Sunday School, in$| Concord Presbytery, has re-in- stated the Offering-per-month $ | plan, and has sent Barium $8.14. It will give the third Sunday responses. Mount Holly Sunday School, in Kings Mountain Presbytery, in October sent Barium a spe- cial Offering of $20.36. Shoot in the good news; it’s a pleasure to record it. ; PICK-UP IN REEITS NT REALIZED SEP Synod Had Shown a Decrease of $593.31 in the First Half of 1937-1938 Well, well, well! The comment on the September table of receipts must, of necessity, have the tone that has been applied to the com- ments for the past three months. | The reason for this is that a $267.- | 64 decrease was evident when last | month’s income from Synod was compared with that for September, | 1936. Decreases in July and Au- | gust together had totaled $225.31.! All of that, and more, occurred in July, August and September, for there had been an increase in the first quarter. However, this comment can be slightly tempered with optimism | today, for the income from Synod | in the first 15 days of October | was just a little more than the $3,-| 218.29 that came to Barium in all of the 30 days in September. Last | October’s total was $4,354.29 from | Synod, and unless something radi- cally happens, the receipts for this October should substantially surpass $4,354.29. ie The decrease in the past six months is pretty well distributed throughout the nine Presbyteries. Only two of them were ahead of the per capita giving on Septem- ber, 30, 1936, and these were frac- tional advances. On the “up” side were Albemarle Presbytery with two-tenths of a cent increase, and Mecklenburg Presbytery with nine- tenths of a cent. On the “down” side were the following Presbyteries and the amount of the decrease: Kings Mountain, 4.2 cents: Orange 3.1 cents; Granville, 2.9 cents; Con- cord, 2.2 cents; Fayetteville, 1.2 cents; Winston-Salem 1.1 cents, and Wilmington, four-tenths of a cent. Synod’s decrease was 1.2 cents. p Winston-Salem, Kings Mountain, Mecklenburg, Orange and Wilming- ton Presbyteries occupied the same positions in the rating the past month as the month before. Berths held by each, respectively, were first, fourth, fifth. sixth and seventh.

MET HERE FOR ONE DAY More Than 75 People Attend- ed Discussions from 18 Institutions More than 175 representatives from 18 of the 30 orphanages or child placing institutions in North Carolina attended a one-day con-| ference at the Presbyterian Or- | phans’ home at Barium Springs, on Tuesday, September 21st. They discussed problems relating to the} child at the morning session, and! spent the afternoon period large-| ly in discussing social legislation | regarding dependent children and | its relationship to the orphanages. | Rev. J. H. Gruver, superinten- | dent of Mountain orphanage at! Black Mountain, was named presi- dent of the North Carolina Orphar- | 3as. D. Johnson, superin- | 3 a ) tendent of Christian orphanage at | Elon college was elected vice-presi- | | dent, and Mrs. Octavia Evans of | the Wright Refuge of Durham, association. The annual meeting! will be held at Catholic orphanage | in Raleigh next September. Morning addresses, centering) around home-like atmosphere and| appreciation, were made by Mr.! Gruver, the retiring vice-president, E. R. Garrett, superintendent of Memorial Industria! school at Win-| ston-Salem, and W. E. Penning- ton, superintendent of the Pythian home at Clayton. In the afternoon, Misses Emma Ashton and Gladys Shuford, repre- sentatives of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, were leaders of a discussion on the So- cia] Security act and the survey| that is being made. Growing out} of these presentations was a dis- cussion period on the part of the orphanages, with Superintendent I. G. Greer of the Baptist orphanage at Thomasville presiding. Institutions represented at this annual conference were the Bap- tist orphanage, Thomasville; Chil- dren’s Home, Winston-Salem; Methodist orphanage, and Catho-| lic orphanage, Raleigh; National Orphans’ home, Lexington; Alex- ander schools, Union Mills; Thomp-} Alexander home, Charlotte; Mountain orphan- age, Black Mountain; Pythian ov- phanage, Clayton; South Moun-| tain institute, near Morganton; | Grandfather home at Banner Elk; | Appalachian schools, Penland; Col-| ered Orphanage of North Caro-| lina, Oxford; Memorial Industrial | school, Vinston-Salem; Wright} Refuge, Durham, and Presbyterian | Orphans’ Home at Barium Springs. REGENTS HELO SESSION AT GARIUM LAST MONTH WITH 1d IN ATTENDANGE Rev. Eugene Alexander, Man- chester, Made President in Organization of Board SEVERAL NEW ONES Six Regents Have Been Named Since the Spring Meeting The semi-annual meeting of the Board of Regents of the Presby- ter Orphans’ Home was _ heid at Barium Springs on Monday night, September 27th, with 13 of the 20 members of the Board in attendance. Two other Regents came the following morning, but the Board adjourned Monday night. However, these Regents were at Barium Tuesday to attend the meeting of Synod’s Thanksgiving Offering committee. Rev. W. M. Currie, Belmont, was retiring president of the Board. but since his term had_ expired, Rev. Eugene Alexander, Manches- ter, convened the meeting as vice- president. In the organization of the Board, the retiring vice-presi- dent wes selected as‘president of the Regents; W. B. Bradford, Char- lotte, was named vice-president to succeed Mr. Alexander, and Mrs. W. E. Graham, Graham, was the choice tor secretary to succeed Mrs. Z. V. Turlington, Mooresville, who had acted in that capacity for a number of years. Semi-annual reports were made by the superintendent and treas- urer of the orphanage, Jos. B. Johnston and Ernest Milton, re- spectively, and the reports were received as information. Several committees made verbal reports, but since five members of the Board retired last spring and one resigned, the committees were dis- organized and full reports could not be given. New committees will have detailed and written reports when the Board re-assembles for the spring session. Mrs. J. A. Hartness, Raleigh, and Mrs. J. M. Walker, Charlotte, attended their first meeting of the Board, succeeding Mrs. I. F. Hill, Durham, and Mrs. J. E. Driscoll, Charlette, respectively. Mrs. George Norfleet, Winston-Salem, successor to Mrs. J. R. Finley, North Wilkesborc, and W. H. Holderness, Greensboro, succeed- ing Rev. W. M. Baker, Mebane, were both at the Orphanage on Tuesday and attended the Thanks- giving committee meeting. Rev. George M.

That makes nine boys and two Orphanage giris at that institution. Neely Ford was a visitor to Ba- rium recently. She was here to attend the conferenee of the North Carolina Orphanage Association, and represented Grandfather Or- phanage at Banner Elk, where she is now a matron. It will be recall- ed that she was connected with the local Orphanage for a number of years. It was Home-Coming Day for Children’s Home when Barium met the Methodists on the latter’s gridiron, but quite a few Barium boys and girls made it their Home- Corréng, too, in one sense of the game were Ray Norman, Dewey Barnhill, Ben Morrow, Albert Cum- bie, Harry East, Laura Smith and Marion McCall. Miss Ruth John- son, a former teacher at Barium, was right there, too. Lorena Clark is teaching at Celeste Henkel schocl, about six miles from Barium this year. She taught at Orrum high school, Or- rum, N. C, for the first two years after she graduated from Flora Macdonaid College. Charlie Sears is working at Thomasville and is assisting Ralph McMillan, former Barium recrea- tional director, in. training the football team at Thomasville high. Yes, you guessed it. The backfield had been assigned to Charlie as his proteges. Lee West is now with the Hood Tire Company, at Salisbury.

We have gotten our first report cards and we are proud because we didn’t have any failures last month. A friend of our matron brought us some magazines last week and we are having a fine time locking at them, We went to a Wednesday and enjoyed it very much. We rode on the _ hobby horses, swings, and ferris wheel and had a good time riding on carnival last them. Ve have been playing football every evening when we come back from school. When the big team played the other day, we played at the half and had a good time. Your friends, —Leland Rogers —Stanley Smith. BABY COTTAGE Seems as if time goes like light- ning. Since we wrote last lots has happened. We sure are enjoying the foot ball games. Our first game was with Mooresville, and we won. Last Friday, while we were at the ball field, one friend brought us some candy and another friend brought us some peanuts and we enjoyed them very much. About two weeks ago the Or- phanage conference met with us. Several visited us and we sure were glad to have them. We are always glad to have visitors. Mama McGirt and the big girls gave us a fish fry and we truly had nice things to eat. We won’t take time to tell you the menu be- cause we are sure your mouth would water. We certainly did en- joy it. And most of all, we want to thank the Junior department of Rowland church for sending us the money for the fish fry. Mr. Bullock, the owner of the fair amusements at Troutman, in- vited us down to the fair. We sure had a grand time riding on the ponies, Ferris wheel and_ the swings. After we had _ finished riding he set us up to candy and Mama McGirt bought us popcorn. The whole afternoon was a pleas- ure. The Board of Regents met last week, and we are always glad to see them come. We had a few to visit us. Several children have had visits from their parents. Kenneth Mae | Hugh’s mother came, the father of Helen, Hilda and Paul Barnes came and Esau Davis’ mother. They enjoyed seeing them lots. We are having supper in the dining room on Sunday nights and we think everyone is well pleased over it. Kate and Billy Drum have come to live with us and we are mighty glad to have them. Virginia Presnell has moved to Annie Louise and we miss her} very much but know she is happy living with the little Annie Louise girls. Several of the children have gotten clothing boxes and they are very pretty. We appreciate them lots. Our big sisters went to see “Prisoner of Zinda”. They enjoyed it lots. We are getting along nicely in our school work since we have gotten settled down. We have re- ceived our first report cards and| two of our Babies go to the show! for making the highest averages in the first grade. This is Station B. C. signing off until next month. —Babies. RUMPLE HALL Hi Folks: Here we are again. It has been a long time since we wrote last. We have a lot of news for you this time. Everyone is back from their va- ations and started into school a-| gain. I guess everyone is glad. | We are all very glad football season has started. Our first game) was with Mooresville, the score was 34 to 0 in Barium’s favor. The next one was with Charlotte and they beat Barium, 7 to 0. The third game was with Salisbury, the score was 19 to 0. The last game we have had was with Chil-| dren’s Home and that was a tie, 0 to 0. We want to thank the ones who invited us to the carnival, and 1 am _ sure every one enjoyed it. We have two new girls to live with us. They are Bertha Lee Broom, from Huntersville, and Lula Bell Hall, who has come up from Howard cottage. Three of our girls made the honor roll this month. They are Betty Whittle, Sara Parcell, and Emma Eudy. We hope to have more next month. Our matron, Miss Stevenson, is giving a prize each month to the one who keeps her room the nicest. For September, Glenn Linsday. Sara Parcell, and Myrtle Mills got it. We want to thank the ones who invited us to Davidson to see the football game. We certainly en- joyed it. Annie Sue Wilson had a_ visit from her sisters. Louise Martin had a visit from her mother. Miss Andrews and some of the senior department, gave a “Candle Light Service” Sunday night, we all enjoyed it very much. We are sorry to say that one of our girls, Glenn Linsday, had her appendix removed October 7th. We hope to have her with us again soon. So long until next time.

When no separa- tion of amounts is given to offi- cials at Barium, it is, of course, impossible to assign any part of the Thanksgiving Offering to the | mission giving it. The fact which stands out most ; eminently as you look over these many figures is that the largest number of “best” Offerings in the past 12 years was made in 1936. There were 108 churches or mis- sion points to do this last fall, thus establishing new 12-year peaks and meriting unusual distinction. The “best” sums are clearly di- vided into three arrangements of years. The first covers the years of 1925, 1926 and 1927; the next division includes the years from 1928 to 1934, and the past three years are in a separate classif!- cation. In 1925, 1926 and 1927, 20. churches gave the greatest Offer ings; from 1928-1934, 104 show the best responses, and 202 have given ; the largest Thanksgiving sums in the past three years. According to years, the number of “best” sums are as follows: In 1927, 72; in 1928, 20; in 1929, 26: in 1930, 29; in 1931, 10; in 1932 6; in 1933, 13; in 1934, 37; in 1925 57; in 1936, 108. Please look at your that touched a new high in 1936, endeavor to establish a still higher peak in November of 1937. Find your church stands, and lend your efforts to- ward making the “best” this fall In many instances, a little extra effort on the part of the churche- would send the total to a new peak and thus make the greatest O:f>- ing in 13 years. Officials at the aren’t superstitious either, about that number “thir- teen”. If you think they are, try it and see.

OSCAR MANN WILL BE PRINCIPAL SPEAKER + ON FESTIVE OCCASION Thanksgiving Offering of Al- umni Assn. Will Be Form- ally Presented That Day LETTER WRITTEN Full Program Planned for Many Alumni Who Will Return It isn’t long before the trek | homeward starts for alumni of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home, for the date of Home-Coming is! Friday, November 26th. A big cele- | bration is planned for returning alumni of the Orphanage, and a prearranged program with a speak- er and a lot of other trimmings | has been planned for the alumni! this fall. Rev. J. Oscar Mann, graduate of the Presbyterian Orphans’ Home and Synodical Director of Relig- ious Education, has accepted an in- vitation to deliver the address to | the alumni on Home-Coming Day. The title of his address has not | been announced, but the returning | alumni and others who attend the! exercises on the afternoon of the 26th can be sure of something! worthwhile. This Home-Coming affair start- ed out in a small way, but it has gradually developed until it’s an} event that is set down on the an- nual calendar of alumni of the Or- phanage. The tvpe of program that has been arranged for Nov-! ember 26th is but another advance- ment. Two years ago, too, the Alumni Association started making con- tributions at Thanksgjving-time as an alumni body, and it has been amounting to around $200.00. Many of the Barium boys and girls are actively identified with various churches and give liberally of: their possessions through the church channels in order to swell the offering of that particular church. If all Thanksgiving do- nations of alumni were made through the Association that total from the body would climb _ per- ceptibly.

C., November 4—Si- las Paul Bland, member of a party of magazine subscription sol- icitors, was arrested here yester- day on the charge of false rep- presentation. He claimed to be a graduate of the Presbyterian or- | phanage at Barium Springs and | another birth announcement. It also | also represented himself as plan- ning to enter Davidson college as a ministerial student. He first solicited Rev. M. Sommers, local Presbyterian min- | ister, and got an order. Later, Mr. “A daughter, Joan Clara, was born | Sommers made inquiry and dis- covered that Bland was an im- poster and had never been at the Presbyterian orphanage, it was said. He had obtained a number of or- ders from local Presbyterians through the same story. After his arrest, he was required to return the money obtained from local people and ordered to leave Clin- n. _ Bland admitted, it was said, that he had worked the same scheme in other towns and that one lady in Whiteville gave him $10 as a donation to aid him in college.

While jit was generally known at Barium Springs that Miss MeGoogan was seriously ill and that physicians held out little hope for her recovery, yet her death was a shock to the whole community and particularly to the little girls of Annie Louise cottage, where she had been ma- tron for the past three years. Prior to accepting the matron- ship of this cottage, Miss McGoo- gan had taught at the Orphanage for 20 years, for a full tenure of a little more than 23 years in some capacity at the institution. She was third oldest in point of service at Barium Springs. Miss McGoogan left on her va- cation of a month in June of the past summer, with no hint that she was ill, but while away she became sick and was unable to re- turn at the termination of the va- cation period. All along she _ felt that she was going to get well, though physicians had recently advised that they did not believe she would live more than a month.

Six of the nine Presbyteries were represented at the conference at Barium, with Kings Mountain Presbytery having the largest del- egation of any Presbytery. J. S. McKnight, of Shelby, chairman of the committee, had made this Barium trip the official convening of his committee. Other chairmen at the Orphanage for the meeting were Jas. H. Clark, of Elizabeth- town, chairman for Wilmington Presbytery, and Thos. L. Wood, ‘of Winston-Salem, ciairman for Winston-Salem Presbytery. The death of a close friend and across- the-street neighbor, at whose fu- neral he was an active pallbearer, prevented J. Archie Cannon, of Concord, general chairman of Synod’s committee, from attending, ibut he had representatives here in his behalf. In addition to the very large group of visitcls at Barium on November 7th, some of the others who have honored the Orphanage with a visit recently have been a car of ladies from Gastonia First, pnether car of ladies from Greens- ‘boro First, a car of ladies from Asheboro, four cars of people from Williams’ Memorial, near Char- lotte; one car of people from Bur- lington; four cars of ladies from Mooresville; one car of ladies from |Concord Second, and some ladies from Durham First and Salisbury Fixst who came over together at- ter the meeting of Synodical in Salisbury. The total number of those visitors were in the neigh- borhood of 75, from nine differ- ent churches in the Synod. The personnel of all the commit- tees has been completed for seme time, 40,000 leaflets have been published and were distributed to each pastor, committeeman and each church by Myr. Cannon and a corps of workers at Concord, th's task requiring over two days of work on the part of these Con- people. Some preliminary Thanksgiving Offerings are already arriving, with more to follow, and a num- ber of personal Thanksgiving gifts have heen sent direct to the Or- cord phanage from friends who, for the most part, live outside the bounds of North Carolina. To Camden Church, in Mecklenburg Presbytery, goes the distinction of being the first church in the Synod to establish a new 13-year peak in its giving to the Orphanage at Thanksgiving. This Offering was received on November 8th, and treasurer said that still more was to come later. Thus, preparations for Thanks- giving are over. In the next issue of The Messenger, a last-minute bul- letin will be prepared before go- ing to press to give the Presby- terians an idea of how the reports are coming in to the Home by the middle of December. tne |game, while the rest of us here enjoyed a trip to Statesville to | the Playhouse to see “Dance, Char- \lie, Dance”.

Perhaps the recent decreas- es are that, and later tabulations will put the Sunday Schools on the plus side. Most of the decreases occurred in the month of Septeiv .

XV BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C.. DECEMBER 1937 NO. 3 PUBLISHED BY PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME For THE INFORMATION OF ITs Fkitnve | REVIEWS - RECORDS - ARYTHM if GOOD NEWS § | AN ACCOUNT CF HOME-COMING DAY | We have had a lot of letters, (some of them rather impatient) from the Alumni and others wondering why there has been no accounts of Barium’s football activities in The Messenger. Well, there was a reason. The fall month issues of The Messenger are so taken up with matters pertaining to the Thanksgiving activities that there just isn’t room to really give what would be a newspaper account of our various games. The January issue will be pretty well filled with the returns from the Thanksgiving Offering, we hope, so that makes this December is- sue the logical one to give a full resume of our athletic doings dur- ing the fall months. Barium has three football teams: the varsity, the 100-pound team, and an intermediate team which sometimes plays under 115- pound weight limit and sometimes the 125. We will give you a re- view of the varsity games, then the 125 (this intermediate team) and finally the 100-pound. Here goes: The season opened on September 17, at Barium with Mooresville the opposition. Barium had a distinct advantage in this game, since they had one week more practice and more veterans on thpir team. However, Mooresville put up a good fight, and although the final score was 34-0 in favor of Barium, the game was interesting right up to the finish. The following week, Barium journeyed to Charlotte for one of the big games on her schedule. Central High, the state class-A champi- ons of 1936 was met, and as it turned out, Charlotte was the state Champions for 1937. This was a most interesting game, and in some respects was a heart-breaker for Barium. Charlotte won 7-0. It was the only defeat of the 1937 season for Barium. Barium made 12 first downs to Charlotte’s 4, but Charlotte was the team that put the ball over the final important stripe for a clean-cut victory. On October 1, at Barium Springs, another Class-A team was en- tertained. It was Salisbury this time—a big, fine looking team that played a most interesting game. The final score was: Barium 19, Salisbury 0. The Salisbury sports writer who covered this game made the most vivid description we have read anywhere. He said that the Salisbury team had the biggest boys and they played good ball, but there were just too many of those red-coated orphans; that every time a Salisbury boy would get his hands on the ball, those red-shirted or- } Barium has had another Home- ;Coming Day. It was the twenty- | sixth of November, the day after Thanksgiving. Old-timers commen- | ced to filter in on the 24th, the day ibefore Thanksgiving. By the night of Thanksgiving, there was a right McKinnon Sunday School in Concord Presbyteiy has re-in- stated the plan of sending the Orphanage the third Sunday Offerings of each month. For a while McKinnon had to dis- continue this support. However, a quarterly check was recently received here.

Mul- berry has adopted the plan and has already sent in the fourth Sunday responses of October and November Covenant Auxiliary, in Fay- ettevilie Presvbytery, made an- other quilt for the Orphanage this year and sold it for $11.00.

REVIEWS - RECORDS - RHYTHM (Continued From Page One) as many first downs on Barium as Charlotte did. They held Barium better in scrimmage than most of the teams ‘Barium has been up against. It was in returning of punts and the interception of passes that Barium excelled and ran up ‘this score. The week following Barium journeyed to Hickory to play a team that is usually one of the strongest on Barium’s schedule. The game | was played in the rain. The field was slippery, and ‘the final score was Barium 13; Hic ry G, Hickory blames the weakness on her team ona rather peculiar circumstance. They say that this gen- eration of in high school are too smart; that they finish high chool before they are ha rrown That makes us wonder, because Hickory: ¢ nues to have a team of girls in the basketball arena that for size and omeliness outranks almost any group of that kind! We are just wondering if the girls are getting the size and the beauty and the boys the brains! If that is the case, it won't continue that way long, and we may except Hickory back giving everybody plenty of excitement and competition. On November 19, in the last conference game on Barium’s sche- dule, Barium took on Albemarle at Albemarle. And there Barium found one of the toughest teams on her schedule. The final score was 25-0, and neither does this score tell the tale. Albemarle had two tackles that could just step on to anybody’s college team, and look perfectly at home. They wrecked many of Barium’s best plays, but a mixture of forward passes and David Spencer was too much with the afvurementioned score resulting. On November 26, Home-Coming Day, Greensboro journeyed to Barium to furnish the opposition for that grand and glorious occasion. Greensboro has no doubt the strongest high school team in the State. It is much stronger than it was when she played Charlotte; and you remember Greensboro almost took Charlotte. The combination of Home-Coming Day and six boys playing their last game for Barium was too much for Greensboro, however, and the final score was 13-7 in favor of Barium. And thus ended a grand season, with nine victories, one tie and one defeat for a hard schedule. The intermediate teams: The 125-pound boys only played five games but they still had a pretty busy season. The 125-pound team furnishes the opposition for the varsity. And they have to turn around and furnish some opposition for the 100-pounders. The 106-pound team this year was so good that it made the 125-pound, team extend itself to hold this bustifferous crowd of youngsters down. The season opened on October 16 at Kannapolis. Barium won this game 6-0 in a hard-fought interesting game. On the 19th of October, at Statesville, Barium defeated States- ville 21-0. The Statesville midget teams are always good, and this year’s teams were no exception. On November 4, they again played Statesville at Barium. The score was Barium 47, Statesville 0. A good many of the boys on the Statesville team had lost interest and this was not such a good contest. On November 13 at Oxford, this team suffered its first defeat in about six years, losing to Oxford 6-0. Oxford’s 125-pound team is the best aggregation our team has been up against in a good many years. It was played on Oxford’s ground which was a little sloping and the field was very wet and slippery. On November 20, at Barium, this team played and beat Kannapolis 27-6. This year the 125-pound team ‘was rather short on material. There were so many boys just under the 105-pound limit of the 100- pound who might ordinarily have been on the 125-pound team. = This means that next year our strength will be in the 125-pound class. And now for the 100-pounders: This crowd of youngsters played 12 games. They won 11 victories and there was one tie game; scored a total of 413 points against 19 by their opponents, and played the strongest 100-pound teams in the state—teams that always give their opponents a battle. Here is the whole story: On October 2, its last game Barium entertained the Junior Order Orphanage at Barium. The final score was: Barium 39: Junior Order 7. The following week at Winston-Salem, Barium defeated the Children’s Home, 33-0. On October 16, Barium defeated Kannapolis at Kannapolis, 13-0 in one of the hardest games they played all ‘year. On the 19th. at States- ville Barium defeated Statesville 20-0, and on the 23rd, at Lexington, defeated the Junior Order 27-0 all the scoring being done in the last half of the game at Lexington. On the 30th, Barium defeated Oxford 26-0 at Barium; and on the fourth, defeated Statesville at Barium 41-0. On November 6, at Barium the Children’s Home was defeated 82-0. In this game there were a number of ‘perfect plays. You know football fans are always looking for those plays in which every one of the eleven men carry out their assignments perfectly. Whenever this is done, a touchdown is bound to result. The Children’s 1923, at the postoffice | under the act of August 24, 1912. Acceptance | W. B. Bradford - - - - - Charlotte | 27€ Mrs. H. A.

It was the only game in the entire season ‘that they did not win. Oxford youngsters were playing before a home crowd and inspired ball. The following Thursday, November 18, at Greensboro, four Or- phanage teams met and played double-headers.

A couple of weeks ago Mr. Er- vin went down to the eastern part of the state with Mr. Kyles, the supervisor of the printing depart- ment, to hunt deer. Mr. Ervin got one that weighed about one hundred and fitty pounds. Not long ago we enlarged our shop so we could have more room to do our work in. We ended up our football season a few weeks ago by playing Greensboro, on our Home-Coming game. We won, 13 to 7. Lots of our old boys and girls came back to ;see us. The annual football banquet was held the tenth of December and all the boys who are out for foot- | ball went to it, and the different teams received their letters.

You'll increase your own self-respect and increase the respect of others, he contended, if you'll let the world know that you are an alumnus of the EF vesby- terian Orphans’ Home.” Im touching upon his second point, the visiting minister felt that “when we go out, we can, in our conduct, standards and ideals, carry the institution to the eyes of the world.” A person goes out, he continued, “to carry not only his but the honor institution.” | Leng Creek Aux., October 31, 1936. However. th Sunday School responses in N¢ vember were exceptionally good, and today it can be stated that most of that difference was mad: up in November, for the report shows that the Sundépy Schools are only $37.12 behind their giving on November 30, 1936. The Sunday Schools will hav to go a long way in December to measure up to the giving of a yea ago, for they gave $1,632.80 in Dk cember, i936. It remains to be seen what will happen this month. Wil! the Sunday Schools give as much in December, 1937, and also ove: come that small deficiency in the first eight months?
