GROUP OF FOREIGN KINDERGARTEN
TQTjS LEARN TO PLAY AMERICAN
By FRANK E. BURKHALTER
Ever feel the thrill from the
obubby arms of a little child near
and dear to you as they encircled
your neck in a fond embrace?
Or look into the beautiful frank
eyes of that little loved one and
contemplate the possibilities that
lie hidden in that soul, or what you
would not take In exchange for him
or her who bears your name and is
bone of your bone and flesh of your
flesh?
Then possibly you havi experi
enced something of that divine
spirit that prompted the Man of
Galilee to exclaim:
"Take heed that ye despise not
one of these little ones,” and
"It is not the will of your-Father
who is in heaven that one of these
little opes should perish."
And it is the belief of Southern
Baptists in giving a large place to
the welfare and all-round develop
ment of children in-tin Baptist 75
Million Campaign that they are pur
suing a course that h\s the sanc
tion of Christ Jesus, the proclama
tion of whose Gospel everywhere is
always accompanied by larger at
tention to the physical, mental, so
cial and spiritual development of
children. •
First Right To Be Well Born.
Baptists believe the firs right of
every child Is to be well born; that.
In the second place, every child has
a right to normal and healthful
nourishment and physical surround
ings during its tend-r years; and in
the third place, every child has a
rtgit to an education that is adapt
ed to its needs, physical, mental
and spiritual.
Bat what has all this to do with
the Baptist 75 Million Campaign?
jwu ask.
In the first place, while the wel
fare of the human race is sought
in the campaign, beginning with
the cooing tot in the crib and In
cluding all needy ones dptvn to
those far adygnegd In the evening of
life, special consideration has been
given the welfare of the little folks
In such special programs as doub
ling the enrollment in the Sunday
Sehools throughout the homeland; !
strengthening the weak churches
in both the rural districts and the
crowded centers of population In
order that they may be able to dis
charge their full duties to the com
munities in which they are located,
thus providing better atmospheres
to.' the rearing of children; enlarg
ing the work of the Woman's Mls
slonary^Union and its auxiliary or
ganizations In the training of chil
dren and young people In Christian
character and service; prevision of
better schools In the rural districts,
especially In the mountainous sec
tional the enlargement and fuller
equipment of Baptist educational
institutions throughput the South
land where children as they develop
Into young men and women can be
•more adequately trained for lives
of social and religious usefulness
at the same time their minds and
bodies are cultivated; and the pro
vision of Good Will Centers in the
large cities and mining and factory
districts for reaching not only the
children, but helping the parents as
well provide better homes and home
surroundings for the little ones
whom God has entrusted to their
care and rearing
Hospitals Help the Uttle Ones.
That the children who coma into
the world with weak bodies, who
contract illness or are maimed by
accident may have a larger chance
to become sound in body and thus
be equipped for a larger develop
ment, happiness and usefuineas in
the world. Southern Baptists have
provided hospitals in almost all of
their states, while under the impe
tus of this campaign the states
which have not made such provis
ions heretofore have agreed to set
aside certain sums raised during
this campaign for the erection of
modern hospitals within their bor
ders. Indicative of the special in
terest taken in the welfare of chil
dren, special children's depart
ments, with roof gardens and other
modern equipment specially design
ea to meet the seeds of sickly, uu*
der-Qourlshed and undeveloped Uttle
folka may come and under the care
of the beat children's experts which
the cities afford, have a larger
chance to attain the normal healthy
lives which it is believed God wills
that they should have, have been
provided In some of these hospitals.
But probably the langest contribu
tion Baptists have made to the wel
fare of children in the South is in
the establishment of the string of
orphanages, there being one of
these jq practically every state
within the bounds of the Southern
Baptist Convention. And the lar
gest possible provision is being
made at these institutions for the
homeless tots who have been robbed
by the Qriia Reaper of their natural
protectore. Time was In this coun
try when many people felt that or
phans were entitled to little consid
eration further than a shelter, and
for a long time they felt that if chil
dren without fathers and mothers
were placed In homes where they
got food and shelter In exchange for
hard manual labor they had?been
really served. Of course, many
childless couples with high ideals
were glad to get children upon
whom they could bestow their af
fection and whom they were glad
to provide with a real home, but
many more Instances have been wit
nessed of persons securing orphans
solely for the economic benefit they
could reap from the labors of these
helpless ones and the situation was
neither happy nor helpful for the
children involved.
Provide Homes For the Homeless.
In breaking away from this cus
tom of placing children end in pro
viding institutions as nearly like
genuine homes as possible, where
fatherless and motherless little
folks can be developed in mind,
body and soul under environments
Just as wholesome and happy as it
is possible to procure, Baptists have
beeu piofteers. Naturally, no insti
tution can have the same environ
ment that a real home, presided
over by a natural father and moth
er, and occupied with these parents
only by brothers and sisters of full
blood affords, yet an approximation
of that Ideal is had in a number of
the Baptist orphanages of the South
through the establishment of a cot
tage system where a limited number
of children are placed in a cottage
which they call home, under the su
pervision of a kindly, tactful matron
and patron, who study the charac
teristics and qualifications of each
individual, assign him or her to
tasks as nearly in line with the act
ual bent of the child as practicable.
and take as large personal interest
In his or her problems and develop
ment as possible. Each of these
cottages has Its own garden, flower
plat, wood yard and other Institu
tions, affording special individual
chores for the children, and except
at school, religious services, picnics
and the like the children are reck
oned with in terms of the individual
and the family rather than in those
of the mass.
But the Baptist 71 Million Cam
paign does not confine its interest in
children to those of the homeland.
There U now in Europe a com
mission represeating the campaign
studying to see how this movement
can aid most effectively In the re
construction of that country, espe
cially those portions of it which
wore devastated most largely by
contending armies.
“Twenty million dollars could be
expended with economy and high
Christian purpose In the care of the
widows and orphans of our spiritual
kinsmen In Europe who have suf
fered through these yatrs of war
and in the erection of houses of wor
ship, schools and the like,” Dr J. F.
Love, chairman of the commission,
declared on the eve of his departure,
aid while it Is not contemplated
that this Bum will be available for
this purpose under the present pro
gram, it is the settled purpose of
the campaign to aid reconstruction'
in France. Belgium, Italy, Csecho
Slovakia, the Ukraine and other
parts of Russia just as fully as pos
sible and Dr. Love has urged the
I Baptists to greatly oversubscribe
the $76,000,000 sought in order that
there may be additional funds to ap
ply to the European situation.
Uplifting Children of Many Lands.
And the work for the physical,
mental and spiritual uplift of the
children in Cuba, Panama, Mexico,
Brazil* Argentine, Chile, China, Ja
pan, Syria, Persia and Galilee, in
which fields, also, missionary work
is being carried on by the Southern
Baptist Convention at this time.
With the exception of Japan
the education of the people has
been very backward and children!
are always the losers where ig-;
norance and superBition prevail. In
China, for Instance in spite of the'
rapid progress that has come to that j
country within recent years, chil- j
dren have little or no chance for
normal development except in those
homes that have been reached with
the enlightenment and love of the
gospel. Girls are still unwelcome
because of their small economic
value, and there are still posted on
the preserves of some of the wealthy
residents whose estates adjoin the
rivers such signs as, "No children
shall be drowned on these prem
ises." And the treatment for dis
eases prescribed by the heathen
physicians in some of these conn
tries is worse than death itself.
bnrouded in ignorance, supersti
tion and sin as the* lives of the
children of these lands are in most
cases, the missionaries represent
ing the Southern Baptist Conven
tion are convinced that schools for
the enlightenment of the minds of
the children, and modern hospitals
where medical and surgical skill
can heal their diseased and maimed
bodies and put them on the road
to happier and more efficient lives,
are fundamental to the success of
missionary endeavor and the moral
and spiritual uplift of the people.
So part of the proceeds of the
Baptist 75 Million Camalgn will go
to the establishment of kindergar
tens and other Christian educa
tional tntsltutions, hospitals and
homes where orphans can be cared
tor in the foreign lands. Our mis
sionaries have for a long time been
handicapped tfy lack of money and
other facilities. Frequently they
have rescued children who have
been thrown out to starve and after
resuscitating them, given these out
casts a permanent place in their
own homos, where many of them
have grown into nseful Christian
workers.
Little Money Does Big Work.
For the sum of $25 a boy or girl
cau be maintained ^n one of the
mission boarding schools for a year,!
while numerous native children are
maintained and instructed in the
homes of the missionaries at a cost ,
of $1$ a year.
J

Ozerinde Nathaniel, of Ogbomoso,
Africa, was reared and instructed
in the home of Dr. C. E. Smith, Bap
tist missionary, became a Christian
and so ambitious was he to learn
that after he had completed the
schools in Africa he came to Amer
ica and entered Virginia University
at Richmond, where he took off all
honors, at the same time working
for all his expense money. He re
turned to Africa and is vice-presi
dent of the boys' academy in his
home city.
A day school in China, one of the
greatest evangelizing forces known
to the mission board, and which is
proving the physical, moral, mental
and spiritual salvation of the girls
whom it reaches can be maintained
for about $70.
If so large a work has been done
already, why the need of increas
ing it through the Baptist 75 Mil
lion Campaign? some may ask.
The answer is that the work that
has been done in the homeland and
on the foreign fields is a very, very
small part of what needs to be
done. The cry for help is coming
up from hundreds of millions of
helpless children in all parts of the
world who need and crave the priv
ileges and bleesingB of a great
Christian civilization such as you
covet for the children of your own.
u is to neip answer this call that
the campaign was launched. Other
Interests than those of children
will be fostered at the same time.
Of the $20,000,000 apportioned to
foreign missions a considerable
sum will go to sending more mis
sionaries to foreign fields to pro
claim the gospel to adults as well
as to children; $12,000,000 will go
to home missions for its work
of evangelism, enlistment, church
building, mountain schools and the
like in its vast field, along with
special work among the foreigners,
Indians and Negroes; $11,000,000
will go to state missions in an ef-(
fort to win to Christ the 13,000 000
unsaved white people within the
territory of the Southern Baptist
Convention; $20,000,000 will be ap
plied to Christian education in en
larging and endowing the Baptist
educational institutions of the
South; $4,800,000 will go to the hos
pitals; $4,700,000 to the orphan
ages; and $2,000,000 for the relief
of the aged ministers of the Bap
tist church who have worn them
selves out In the service of God on
salaries that have permitted ‘hem
to save nothing for old age.
But Investment In the salvatioa
of the children will bear larger and
larger returns throughout the years
because millions of them will live
long enough to bless others and ta
raise up still other children wfce
will pass on these bias '
