Dr. Charles
Barker Gives a
Series of Talks
Addresses the Students at High
School, Rotary and Chamber
of Commerce, Parents.
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.
