XXVI DMOjSE, 7ATAUGA COUNTY, THURSDAY, JAN. 14, 1915. m to if Contributed, ' l; ;;-':: -(' ;:T'. , "He who helps a child, helps i - humanity with a ' distinctness, .; with an immediateness, which no '' other help given to human crea tures in any other stage of their human Jifoian jppssibly give a gain !''" .." V,- : . ' TheS words of the great Phil lips Brooks express most briefly 'and elf arjj thaim..and purpose of theHdastfbf iMdhVoato' : help humanity at a time and in a waynjdst , effective. :,'r Withthis purpose in view,' the House of Childhood was begun - at Foscoe, in connection with the Prout School,"where a day school had been conducted for three years, and where , two . Christian womeiw'itring, Jgivteg their time and ef(orts to the work con ducted by the Episcopal church. The first children' to come were . four chUdren.rom. one famiyy whose'parratsjvvereno Jongerliv ing together. They, came the first - Of Novemttetf 1812;, and in Jan .... - - ... - uarv. Itfwitwo otners were rer- ceivlrony another family in the ' same Condition. Of these sixchil dren, four wre girls;- and two ': boys;, the youngest child being about 6, and the eldest 11 years of ager;T.hese!children remained with usjfor a year . and three months..: . . ' O Haying occupied a rented house at Foscoe, the. House of Chil hood was moved,. and was final ly settled in.aew, eight-r o om house;rrecently built by the - Church at Glendale Springs in Ashe county. When this move was made, two of the children were returned to their parents, who were living together again, and could 'make a home for their children. .... ( . i . The other four children, who had first come, went to their fa thers in March, and in August of last year tWof ;. the'm. returned. In October, two more from a . family of six children whose fath er is dead, was;.rived;vani in November just past, three more, from a family of six, whose moth er is dead, arrived, making a to tal of seven children in the House of Childhood at present. Of these six are girls and one a boy. The two oldest girls are thirteen, an other eicht, one seven, another girl and the tittle boy five, and the youngest is a baby fifteen months old. A . The distinctive idea of the House of Childhood is to provide a home, with school ad vantages, for the younger children of this : region who may be entrusted to r our care,, where they may have ... every advantage it is in our pow er to give them. There are other schools. both public and under . the auspices of . various mission boards, which provide advanta . gesfor the older children; the purpose of the House of Child hood isuto.teceivelchildren ten years old and . younger, keeping them , until they, are. twelve or fourteen prparingnTfo.r any shoo! they maiWra td later!' Further, thV deKire is to pre- . pare the children for a complete - ly rounded education, laying foundations not only for t h e mind, but for the body and soul also, by providing instruction in - Kindergarten and primary bran clns, as well as practical rudi xnjntary industrial' work also by surrounding the children with a wholesome christian influence and teaching them the principles r - of christian conduct The earlier . this, training is begun, the more .'permanent it will be. Another feature 'of the House of Childhood ' is, to limit, the number of chil- y : dren In ; the 'House to a small . group, 'ten in number. By this . means the family idea is preserv ; t . ed, instead of that of an institu tion, and each child can receive t :tho individual attention and lor I take pleasure in acknowledg ing through the Democrat th rer ceipt of the fallowing, lqcal cash contributionita the GrmdfAth, er Orphaaig-Soine; . fs.;vl,fli pftbt;pHvate: citiaten, woviue suncuyr jjcftftOfcWW.

Mr. George M. Sudderth, repre senting "the business man," tes tified to the Doctor's high sense of honor in his dealings with the community as head of the Local Bank, feeling proud of the high trust placed in bim by the direc tors, having also the whole hearted confidence of every pa tron of that institution, Mr. Sud derth also, in touching words speaking of the Doctor's great love and tender! care of his dear mother,, who, in this her sad hour of .trial, lias the. sympathy ofthe Doctor's many patients, who -are likewise; his friends. Mr. Jeff. D,--Brown, 'represent ing "the patient," spoke of the faithful phy sician ever ready-to respond to a call to "wrestle with disease," and; while the be loved family doctor was also the family's intimate friend and- ad visor, Mr. Brown filingly rela ting an incident in which the Doc tor figured,1! when,) jkst summer he.and his dear mother descend ed the .mountain for the las i; time together, the Doctor calling out ''goodbye," and so it proved! I)r. J. E. Brooks spoke splen didly for "the profession" whose sole object is to help sick people get well and help , well people to keep from getting ill, the great body of physicians doing their work from an unselfish motive, and though not having the privi lege of knowing intimately Doc tor Parlier as had the majority of the' audience before him, yet from the testimony of others and the evident eminently successful results of his long and faithful work as the physician of a (great territory, he was pleased to tes tify tha$, in his judgment Doctor Parlear was not only a great man and an eminent physician but that, among men whose ob ject was the alleviating suffering and the suppression of disease arid therefore, the lowering of the death rate in his great field of practice, Doctor Parlierwas "un doubtedlva King!" and. this was indeed a high tribute and came from the heart of the sue cossor of Doctor Parlier, indeed it was Doctor Brooks who pro posed the memorial Exercises and helped make of them an im pressive lesson to all. To the foregoing splendid tes timony of those who took part in the Exercises above noted, the writer of this imperfect report de- Bires to acid his humble tribute which he failed to make at t h e meeting, though earnestly urged to do so to the memory of one who was, for a decade, not only his trusted physician but his in timate companion and valued, beloved friend.
