DR.. Barker talks with such force,
such clearness, that there can be no
misunderstanding as to his meaning.
He deals with delicate subjects, but
in a manner that leaves no doubt as
to the purpose of the message.
Clean living was the keynote of
each address, but allied subjects va

things in life which they have set

At High School
In his talk at the high school We'd

an understanding of the problems of
the average high school student. The
habit of letting the mind wander

1T is plain clear duty but one
that has suffered through the money
grabbing instincts of the father" he
said with much feeling.
Failure OF the father or the moth

contributes to a menace that threat
