Dr. Barker spoke on “How to Make the Most Out of Life.” Drawing the attention of the students from the beginning of the talk, he gave them an abundance of advice on how they must live and act if they wish to grow up to be successful, intelligent and respected men and women.
“Without these three things, you cannot achieve any degree of success. If you have them, they can’t keep success from you.” Devoting talk to a discussion of these three points, he deat with various requisites to a successful life form the need for as strong constitution to proper conduct among companions and acquaintances.
Dr. Barker, who has been brought here by the Rotary Club, is going over the country speaking to men and women on life, the practical everyday necessities to maintain high moral standards of American citizenship and to encourage correct living and habits among both old and young.
J.P. Quarles, president of the Charlotte Rotary club, who introduced Dr. Barker to the school children, said he had been drafted into service by the Rotary clubs upon demonstration of his ability to present issues of citizenship and moral uplift in a sensible, intelligent matter of fact manner. Dr. Barker was private health adviser to President William Howard Taft for the four years he was in the white house.
Charlotte Rotarians heard Dr. Barker at 1 o’clock Tuesday during the weekly luncheon at the Selwyn Hotel. He was to speak to women and girls at the First Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock, and Tuesday night at 8 o’clock in the city auditorium he will address boys and men.
