Dr. Charles Barker, noted speaker and lecturer, who was in the city Thursday as a guest speaker under the auspices of the Rotary club, was heard in three very interesting ad dresses that followed the lines of his work as educator, physician and pub lic speaker. Dr. Barker brought to the com munity a real opportunity of hearing a wonderful sidelight of life brought by a man well worthy of presenting it to the young and old alike. Addresses School Dr. Barker's first appearance was before the convocation of the high school where he was introduced by Superintendent L. S. Devoe. He dis cussed the essential things that must go to the foundation of a successful and worthwhile life and his remarks were followed with the greatest in terest by the students. He gave as the essentials for the young man or woman who is fitting himself for life, a strong arm, clean head and brave heart. The need of the physical body to carry the men tal burdens and to prepare the youth to care for themselves; a brave heart that would enable the boy or girl to resist the temptations and allure ments -that might confront them in their future life and fit them to live clean cut lives; a clear head to guide the boy in the battle of life that must be met. Dr. Barker gave a good illustra tion from the works of Thomas Hux ley in which it was pointed out that it was necessary to train the mind to perform the tasks that were to be done and not allow the mind to be swayed from the path laid out. In his definition of a brave heart Br. Barker took up the matter of ihe social relations of the boy and the girl and pointed out that the yielding to human weaknesses would not only lose the goal to be sought but lessen the respect that was so essential to man or woman. At the Rotary Dr. Barker addressed a joint meet ing of the Rotary and the Chamber of Commerce at a luncheon at the Stewart came and where also a num ber of the Business Men's Ad club were attending to enjoy the fine talk. President E. H. Schulhof introduced E. H. Wescott, who presented the speaker. Dr. Barker pointed out the benefits that Rotary had given in their aims and ideals that their members had carried into other organizations. One of the first needs of the citizen was to know their schools, the teach ers, the fact that the schools were maintained at a standard that would give the child the very best possible education possible, Mr. Barker ad monished. He also stressed the need of the support of the churches of the busi ness men and all others in the com munity, pointing out that on the churches and schools rested the foun dation of the community. Dr. Barker also told of his own experiences in his professional work that had held him closely until he realized that he had a duty to per form in his community and public work. Since his entry on the lecture work he had visited 11,000 commun ities and been heard by 7,500,000 persons. FOR SALE OR RENT 20 acres improved", north edge of Plattsmouth. Nebr.
