HOME FOR MOTHERLESS chill
DREN.

DtSEN.
The News has received from j. II.
Spaulding, president and treasurer OF
the Carolina Home School, at Neck
lenburg, n. c., letter from Miss
Olive w. Leonard, 459 Spring street,
Atlanta, Ga, which was published in
the Christian Index, of Atlanta, with
the request that we publish it, Mr..
Spaulding says: I'VE have Just got
ten our state license to solicit funds.
Now we are going to appeal to the
good people of North and South
Carolina to furnish the money to es-
tablsh and maintain this much
needed home
The letter follows:
Some time ago while on a trip
over in North Carolina, l was espe-
ciaIly struck and impressed with one

Child. | was struck with the need
OF such a home, especially in Geor-
gia. The man who is left with small!
children is helpless being, and the
children are much more So Mr.
Spaulding, the manager OF the
home, said that some noted orphan
age superintendent said to him
when he was opening the home, that
t was one of the greatest needs OF
the Carolinas. | firmly believe that
the same thing could be said about
Georgia
Mr.. Spaulding is one preacher
who can combine religion with good
business methods. He says the first
thing to do is to live; and to hIm
that means to live physically, men
tally, and spiritually. He says that
man is trinity. and he trains the
children along those lines.
The good manners OF the chill
dren would impress any one, but the
good healthy looking condition is
prominent on every child's face

privately from the matron how
carefully Mr.. Spaulding planned
each days rations. They have eggs
Two or three times each week; dt-I
ferent cereal for breakfast every
morning. Each day is planned for
balanced ration for the growing
child.
Mrs. Spaulding is not a hospital
trained nurse. but is real practical
one. She is a college lady, a kinder
and a practical trained nurse of the
highest order among children. Their
nursery is kept in order next to a
hospital. While Mrs. Spaulding only
has general oversight. she has ev-
erything kept in first class order
The playground is large and beauti-
full. The children are happy.
But / want some good man to
start a home in Georgia for the moth

his children and pay their expenses.
The public has no idea of the suf-
fering, and oftimes death occurs
where child could be saved if
trained person could have charge of
it.
when a mother dies, as a rule,
the larger children are scattered
among their relatives, oftimes in
homes with other children. The lit
tie infant is left with some inexpe-
rienced person or sent to a hospital
for about year, and then some rel
ative or neighbor who will propose
to keep IL for less than the hospital
can afford to do. When a child is
teething is the most critical time of

people certainly feel the effects Of
the struggle. Find that everything
is high and there are many things
that can't be had at all. Old men,
women and children are In evidence
everywhere. Seems that the women
have taken over the work of the
men; they work on the farms, drive
carts, etc, and sure are doing their
bit to help win the war Went
through a town the other day in a
truck to work for while in the
southern part of the city. 1t was
somewhat of a sightseeing trip for
me. Saw many things that Impress
ed me greatly. Wish you could see
looking things they are; small
coaches and cars and the locomo-
tves look like our "dinkeys" back
there. One man can push .nat-car
on level track. Saw many troop
trains go by carrying soldiers to the
front, all riding in box-cars.

wood shoes; the men wear long
aprons and funny felt hats with
5streamers behind. You see them all
over the streets OF the towns, push
ing heavy carts loaded with vegeta-
bles or milk. Have seen women pull
ing harrows and plows and spading
up gardens. There is bunch Of
Chinese laborers here, imported by
the French government. They are
also queer. Saw a number Of them
walking down the street today with
parasols and fans, after working out
in the hot sun all day. Something
else / saw today was an aeroplane

scattered around and the only per-

certainly don't appeal to me, as l

I'm like Ben c., only worse.
Am well: get plenty Of good eats
and good treatment. Have seen fell

and it's wonderful to hear them
talk. At this time they, (the U. s.

my one hope is that they will rip
their way into Berlin. AS Perish
