IN EVERY CLIME PREFACE
NEARLY twenty years ago Dr. Barnardo wrote:- ~ 'I wonder will the connected history of this work for God ever be written! I am afraid not. It would almost be too large an effort for anyone to attempt, for it would involve, amopg other tasks, the perusal of an immense correspondence received during the past twenty-one years from loving Christian friends of my w8.ifs from all over the wide world. Sometimes i have thought that I would myself essay to record, in a connected narrative, my experience of God's guidance and goodness during the past quarter of a. century. But time, wllich, like the flowing tide, waits for no man, fails me.' This volume is an ~ttempt to 'write that connected narrative. Whenever it is possible, Dr. Barnardo is allowed to speak for himself. Naturally the chief place is given to his public work, but· at every point appears his attractive .personality. The work commences'with an Introd~ction by one of Dr. Barnarda's oldest friends - Dr. Robertson Ni~ol1. His brothir, Dr. F. A. E. J3arnardo, is largely responsible for the first chapter, and Mr. William Baker, M.A., LL.B., the Honorary Director of the Homes, contrIbutes a chapter on the ''Future of the Homes.' vii Vlll DR. BARNARDO Thanks are due and most gratefully rendered to Mrs. Howard Taylor, Dr. F. A. E. Darnardo. Dr. Mayer, and all friends who have sent IcttcrH or reminiscences, and also to Mr. William McCall. Mr. Howard Williams, 1.Ir. H. S. 'YcHcome, Mr. ~'\ M. I Scoone, and 1.Ir. 'Yynne Grenville, for their valuaLle s:rvices in preparing this work. CONTENTS J PAGE PREFACE Vll

'I DON't LIVE NOWJlERE I ' • Now, my lad, it is quite useless your trying to deedv.> rue. Come over here, and tell me the truth. What do you mtan' 'Vhere do you come from' 'Vhere are your friend., Where did you sleep last night l' With this bunch ot inquiries I felt that I eould penetrate thE' toughest shield of falsehood and deceit behind which the boy whose reply bad so startled ~e might seek to hide. And certainly, in calling this 9.i1d to my side that I might qucation him more closely, I n"rtt supposed that hi. waa a true account of himself. For two or three years I had, so far as my medical studies le(t. me time, been conducting a voluntary night-school among rough bo~s and girls, the children of the poorer labouring clUJ. I tJms bad necessarily revealed to me much of the privation and flutTer ing which so often fall at an early age to the lot of the children of the very poor. I had encountered many ragged, hun~, and even cruefiy ill-used little ones i but never aa yet bad a £:ENCINE ARAB BOY, utterly homeless and friendleas,.,$lE.ssed my path. Indee~J I bad thought in my ignorance that the race e:tiat.t-d only on paper, and that tbe stories about their condition and tutTerings in London and other large cities, which had occuionally attracted my attention, were mainly due to the fertile imaginations of certain writers, l!hose love for tbe sensational bad, I {eared, over come their strict regard tor truth. I had, too, a vague notion that homeless children, if 8uch reatly existed anywhere, were {or st! APPENDIX B 34;) tie most part orphans, who were eventually taken due care of by the parish or workhouse authorities. I have, therefore, to _admit that at that time I knew really nothing of that hapless class of young children who, in the fierce struggle for existence, suffer more keenly than any other, chiefly because, being children, they are less able to- resist the pressure of cold, hunger, nakedness, friendlessness, and fierce temptatifn. It is very many years since this little lad told me that 'he lived nowhere: It would not perhaps have been at all wonderful if an, event which occurred so long ago had entirely faded from my memory. But I never can erase from my mind and heart the impressions then created for the first time; indeed they really changed for me the whole purpose, character, and motives of my life. My days were devoted mainly to attendance at the dissecting room or the hospital, and most of my evenings to study. I nevertheless reserved two nights a week, which I ca.lled my free nights, and which, as well as the whole of Sunday, were given up to the conduct of a ragged school situated in a room in the heart of squalid Stepney. . How well I remember that poor little room! It had origin ally been, I think, a stable-not ~uch a stable as Belgravia knows, but simply a shed where donkeys Ihd.• J~een kept. Boards had been placed over the rough earth. The rat'~'ers had been whitened, and so had the walls; but the accumulate~dirt deposits of three or four years had changed the colour to a dingier hue. Yet I and my student friends who ~e1ped me thought it an admirJ.ble room, for was it not water-tight and wind-tight 1 Had we not good bars to the windows, almost capable of resisting a siege' And in those days and in that quarter those bars constituted a by no means unnecessary precaution! Above all, was it not situated right in the very heart of an overcrowded, poverty stricken dist~ed with little one-story houses of four rooms each, every room containing its family ~ And did n~t these families supply the tumultuous horde of youngsters who crowded eagerly round our doors, called each one of us 'Teacher: listened, with varying degrees of attention, to what we had to say, or yelled in chorus some tuneful melody ~ Such was the cradle of my work-a poor donkey-shed in an 344 DR. BARNARDO East-End street t And here it wu that, on one e\·cr·memoratke evening, after the general body of my young r.cholara bad gont" home, I noticed, standing on the hearth nl"ar the lArg6 fire k~llt. burning at 0116 end of the room, a little r:tg-gl·d lad, w},o I observed had li~teDed quietly throughout the ('\,t'lIill~. He showed no signs of leaving, and yet it was time to put. the lights out. So I said: • dome, my lad, it'a time to go home now.' To t.his no reply was at first given. I Come, I say, you had bl'tter go home at once.' Then I addf'd, somewhat doubtfully: 'If you don't, your mutiH'r ",ill Lt" uking for you.' 'Please, sir,' slowly drawled the laJ, • let me atop.' , Stop!' said I; I what for t Indeed I cannot. I am going to turn the lighta out and lock the door. It'. quite time for a little boy like you to go home and get to bed. What do you want to stop for' ' 'Please, air: he repeated, 'do let me atop j I won't do no 'arm.' I I cannot let you atop, my boy. Why (}o you want to atop' You ought to go home at once. Your mother will know the other boys have gone, and will wonder wbat keep. you 10 late: I I ain't got no mother.' .. • Butr-your father 1 JVl&re is he " I I ain't got no fath~: 'Stuff and nonsen!e, my boy" I said, somewhat brusquely. I Don't teU me such stories' You say you have nol got eit.ber a f~her or a mother. Where are your frienda, then' Where do you live" I Ain't got no friends. DON'T LIVE NOWHERE!' I was startled, as I have said, by such a reply. But I did not believe it, although I could not help feeling that there WAI BOme thing behind it which needed inquiring into. So I caned the boy to me iu the words with which this little ~pened. It wl. with slow and heavy steps that the boy came nearer. He moved each foot as though it were weighted', and some seconds elapsed before he was close enough to let me look at him narrowly. But at last he stood directly in front of me, either a lying young scamp who deserved a good whipping, or one of the saddest little urchius I had ever seen. 'Yhich was it' APPENDIX B 345 I looked searchingly at the child-for he Was little more than a child-and to this hour, as I close my eyes, the face and figure of the boy stand out sharp and clear before my mental vision. He had a small, spare, stunted frame, and he was clad in miser able rags -loathsome from their dirt - without either shirt, shoes, or stockings. Sure enough I could see that here was a phase of poverty far beneath anything with which the n.,isy, wayward children of my ragged school had familiarised me. l How old are you, my boy l' I said at last. , Ten, sir,' he replied slowly. He looked older; but his poor little body seemed fitter for a boy of seven or eight. His face was not that of a child. It had a careworn, old-mannish look, only relieved by the bright, keen glances of his small, sharp eyes. This sadly overwise face of his, together with the sound of his querulous, high - pitched tones, as he responded glibly to my questions, conveyed to my mind-I knew not why-an acute sense of pain. Now the ice was broken, I closely cross-examined him, but I am bound to say that there was a ring of truth and reality in his voice, and an unconscious air of sincerity about him, which soon convinced me, ere my inquiries had proceeded far, that I was on the threshold of a revelation. - ~ 'Do you mean to say, my boy,' I at length asked for the second or third time, 'that you really have no home'l.at all, and that you have no father or mother or friends 1 ' , That's the truth, sir. I ain't tellin' you no lies.' l Where did you sleep last night l' I added. 'Down in Whitechapel, along 0' the 'ayinarket, in one 0' them carts filled with 'ay.' , How was it you came to the school 7 ' "Cos, sir, I met a chap as I know'd, and he tell'd me to come up 'ere to the school, to get a warm; an' he sed p'raps you'd let me lie nigh th~ night.'· - 'But,' I said, , we don't keep open all night.' 'I won't do no 'arm, sir,' he repeated, 'if only you'll let me stop: Please do, sir.' It was a raw winter night, and the sharp and bitter east wind seemed to pierce to the very bone, no matter how snugly one was wrapped up. I looked at the little lad whom I now know the ~46 DR. BARNARnO Lord had s('nt me, and could not but see how ilJ·prepart·l) lie" as to resist the inclement weather. My heart unk Ai J rf'tle SUPPOSE, AFTER ALL, HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH! At last we reached my rooms. It was not long before the promised coffee was ready, and I lost no time in getting my ragged pupil placed at the table opposite me. Poor little man! He had at 1east told the ~th about his hunger. How ravenously he ate and drank! I almost feared to supply him, with such voracity did he swallow the food. But the hot, sweet coffee put new vigour into his cold little fi~me. I could see him' visibly brightening, and the food and warmth served quickly to loosen his tongue. He was ready with his history as we sat together, partly in reply to questions, but more often in the form of statements 'volunteered in the fulness of his grateful heart. I found him to be withal a quaint little vagabond, and his sharp witticisms more than once disturbed my gravity. But there was a sad under current of miserable recollections which occasionally came to the surface. Jim Jarvis's story was given somewhat in the following fashion :- , I never knowed my father, sir. Mother was always sick, an' when I wor a little kid '-(he did notl look very ,big now !)-' she went to the 'firmary, an' they put me into the school. I wor all right there, but soon arter, mothe{ died, an' then I runned away from the 'ouse.' 'How long ago was that l' 'Dunno 'zactly, sir; but it's more'n five yr-r ago.' , And what did you do then 1 ' , I got along 0' a lot of boys, sir, down near Wapping way; an' there wor an ole lady lived there as wunst knowed mother, '\n' she let me lie in a shed at the back. While I wor there, I got on werry well., She wor very kind, an' gev me nice bits 0' broken wittals. Arter this I did odd jobs with- a lighterman, to help him aboard a barge. He used me werry bad, and knocked me about frightful. HW~thrashed me for nothin', an' I didn't some times have anything to eat; an' sometimes he'd go away ft\r days an' leave me by myself with the boat: 'Why didn't you run away, then, and leave l' I asked. < So I would, sir, but Dick-that's his name, they called him cc Swearin' Dick "-one day he thrashed me awful, an' he swore if ever I runned away, he'd catch me, an' take my life; an' he'd got a dog aboard as he made smell me, an' he telled me if I tried 348 DR.

'WeU, I will see what can be done for you to-morrow.

Do you know what that is called 1 ' • Ah, that's 'eaven, sir!' • Yes, Jim; wouldn't you like to go there 1 • and I added, 'Every one who goes there must love Jesus.

I gave up questioning, and drawing his cbair and Iny own <.10';0 to the bright fire, I told him slowly, awl in the fiml,l~·!!t Illngua.:;u I could command, the wonderful f-lory of the Halle horn in Bethlehem. After describing the goodness. compassiolJ, and 10\'1' "Iiii'll tllll Lord Jesus had shown for everyhody, I went on to fl'UK of 1Ii~ trial before Pilate. His cruel scourging, and Ilia crown of thorns. The little fellow, who had been listening all tho while with tlw most intense interest, occasionally asked questions which "how!'.l his shrewd application of these events to tho only life he knew. He was moved to deep sympathy, for I found he had a leotIl'rly sensitive little heart, despite hj,. rough-and-tumble life. When I came to the sad story oC OIlr Lord's crucifixion. and described to him the nails. and the spear. and the gall given to drink., little Jim fairly broke dOJn. and sa.id, amid his tears, ' Oh. sir, tha.t wor wuss nor Swea.rin' Uick san'ed me " Then we knelt down together, and I asked the Lord to bIt·"" th~s little Waif of the Streets. When I arose, the llOOr child', eyes were suffused with tears, and I could not but hope and bt:lieve that his young heart, so long neglected, and a dravgcr Cl'en tt> human love, was being opened to the gentle voice of the Good Shepherd. It was half an hour after midnight wh~t1gth I ulli('(l forth llpon my quest. Jim no longer following behind, Lut with his hand confidently placed in mine. We passed quickly through the greater streets, and tlwn my little guide led the way into Houndsditch. Mter partly travers ing it, he stopped, and guided me by one or two stepa into a kind of narrow court, through which we passed. Here we enterNl at APPENDIX B 351 length what seemed to be a ~ong, empty shed. I found afterwards that throughout the day it was an old-clothes market, called , the 'Change.' It ended in a network of narrow passages, leading from and into the well-known noisy Petticoat Lane, the name of which has since disappeared from the London street list. But when, that night, I passed through these narrow lanes and streets, all was still. The black and dingy shutters of the small, crib-like shops were closed by strong bolts and bars, and no sbund did I hear save the echo of my own footsteps. Once inside the shed, I looked around on every side in search of the lads whom Jim had spoken of. But certainly no one was there save our two selves. e All right, sir,' said Jim, • don't you look no more. 'Ve '11 come on 'em soon. They dursn't lay about 'ere, cos the p'licemen are so werry sharp all along by these 'ere shops. Wunst, when L wor green, I stopped under a barrer down there '-pointing to a court. , adjoining-' but I nearly got nabbed, so I never slep' there agm. Meanwhile we had passed through the shed, and Jim, turning to me, with his finger on his lips, said: "Sh! we're there now, sir. You '11 see lots on 'em, if we don't wake 'em up.' ") We were a~ the end of our journe}. A high dead wall stood in front, barring'" our further progress; yet, looking hastily around, I could see no traces of lads. 'Where are they, Jim 7 ' I asked, in an unaertone. (Up there, sir,' he replied, pointing to the iron roof of the shed of which this wall was the boundary. ) C There' seemed beyond my reach. How was I to get up 1 Jim made light work of it. There were well-worn marks by which it was possible to ascend and descend-little interstices be~ween the bricks, where the mortar had fallen or had been picked away. Jim rapidly ~"'\~up first, and then, by the aid of a piece of stick which he found on the top and held down for m£.') I too made my ascent, not without soiled clothes and abraded hands. I found myself standing on a stone coping or parapet. But what was this I saw before me in the gloom 1 There, with their heads upon the higher part, and their feet somewhat in the gutter, but in as great variety of postures as one 352 DR. BARNARDO may have seen in dogs before a fin'-some lOtlVJ up, 1101116 hUtldlt,.1 two or three together, others more apa.rt-Iay a confu,(,.l group of hoys out on the open roof all a"leep. I countl'd rlnnt. No CO\'er ing of any kind wa.. It was to me a revelation and a mc<;sage. I haJ m:vle up my mind that, by God's ;elp, this one lad, Jim himself, W}IO had lX'en my guide, should at all costs be cared for a.nd watched over. But to awaken these other eleven boys, to hear their storif'~-&toriCll do~btless of misery, of lonesomeness, of cruelty, of crime pt'rhap., and of sin-to find in every word an appeal for bell' which I could not give, was more than I could bear even to think of. So taking another hurried glance at the wretched and never-to-he-fMgottPu group-looking down once more at the eleven upturned (au:", white with cold and hunger, a sight. to be bl~t.li&e ~y memory, and to. recur again and again for weeks and weeb, to l,aunt rne until I could find no rest. except in action on their bf.},aJr-1 breathed a silent pray... r of compassion and then hurried away, just as one of the sleepers moved uneasily, M if about to awake. We reached the street again. Quite unconscious or the feelings awakened in my mind, Jim eagerly questioned me: APPENDIX B 353 'Shall we-go to another lay, sid There's lots morel' But I had seen enough, and I needed no fresh proof of the truth of his story or any new incentive to a life of active effort on behalf of destitute street lads. (2) THE STORY OF 'CARROTS' WHAT of the grim tragedy of John Somers, otherwise' Carrots,' whose history, made public some time ago, unpleasantly brought to th~ minds of those who • sit at home at ease' a. picture of the woes of child waifs living all unnoticed in our great cities 1 Poor little 'Carrots' ! Only eleven brief years had passed over thy head, yet surely thou didst know in this short span a long lifetime of trouble! Of relatives, John Somers (called 'Carrots' by his fellow street-arabs on account of his red hair) had but one living, and that one a mother-at least so she called herself, and so she may have really been; but if affectionate care for her offspring be a natural trait in a mother's charac~er, then most certainly Mrs. Somers did not prove her maternal relation to the poor wee laddie. ~ , Carrots' never knew his fath~ and she whom he called , Mother' turned him adrift to do for himself at the mature age of seven; that is, just four years before the termination of his long-short life. \ The boy had been, during these four y~ars"successively a news boy, a shoe-black, a vendor of cigar-lights, and anything atld everything that a little homeless street-boy can be to pick up a living. . Being.an ill-favoured _child, his appearance was against him, and by all I can gather from the boys who ~new him, he seldom made enough ~ p~or a lodging-house shelter after satisfying the daily cravings of IitInger and thirst. So it came to pas~ that poor 'Carrots' often 'slept out,' his favourite places of resort being Covent Garden Market and the Queen's Shades near Billingsgate Market. Sometimes his mother appeared and asserted her maternal 'rights' by fixing him upon the ground with her knees, whilst both hands rapidly searched his pockets, Z 354 DR. BARNARDO and abstracted whatever coins were secreted there. If lIuccesaful in hcr search, she len him howling o\'er hi, 10M, whilst. IIhe sought the nearest gin-shop; but should her IIl'arch provo fruitleu. an oath and a blow expressed her Bense of diaappointtu('ot, unlcss, indeed, struggling (rom ber unwelcome embraces, the poor Loy succeeded in evading her brutal chastiscment. lVhen first I visited the' Sha.des· in the urI), dawn, 'Carrots' was there. By the offer of a halfpenny to (!I\ch I succ<'t',leJ in counting out 8fventy-thrt~ destitllte lads (rom the varioul .helt(·n or old barrels, crates, and packages, in which th('Y had bt'en ensconced; yet I thought I bad seldom scen a Inorc unlJlelUlant specimen or boy-life than' Carrots' exhibited. Haying out or this large number selected five of the most forlorn lads w flIJ an ('qual number of vacant beds in our Home, my memory "hidly fl'ca)]. the earnestness with which • Carrots' plc.1,ded to be taken in, and how graterully he accepted my promise of admission for that day week. But a few mornings later, as some of Uawlinson'. men were moving a large sugar hogshead lying with its open lleaJ t.o tLe wall, thf'y disturbed a sleeping boy, by whose side lay aMther, aho apparently asleep. When touched, the latter moved not; when "poken to, he did nqy1nswer; and wben, finally, .tooJ.ing down, the kind-hearted porter took the form of the little lad in his arms, only then did he perceive that' CarrotA,' for it ",a. L~, was dead! - At the coroner's inquest, medical testimony declar(·a t.hat tile dt!ceased had succumbed to the combined effeds or bunger &n(l exposure, and the jurymen who viewed the little pinched-up face and fleshless body, unanimously found a "erdict of • Death from exhl\ustion, the result of frequent exposure and want of foOli' Thus much from the statement. of the press and of the good natured policeman who carrie.-l the little corpse to an aJjolning puhlic-house,, and who added to his ~om~unjcati(}n the sentence, that' most of the boys as came round began tl) blubher as' soon as they saw the body.' So even poor deserte(i • Carrota' was missed, although • Fatherlesa, motherless, siat.erless, brother· less, friends he had none.' Poor forlorn little lad! I think I see him on that .ad. ud evening ot a bright May day, creeping aupperle" inw the empty APPENDIX B 355 cask, his heart crushed with its sense of loneliness and dire need. I wonder whether' Carrots' cried as most children do when dis- tressed' or had the feelings of a child been long banished from . that young breast in its grim struggle for life 1 or did he pray to the Great Father as he nestled down for the last. time beside' his little mate , 'Did poor "Carrots" love Jesus" I asked a tiny boy, wb,o knew him well, and had formed one of the crowd of mourners who dropped a few real tears to his memory. , Law, sir, we never hears of Him, nor of nuffin' good, except cussin' and swearin', down here,' was the reply• . 'You, at least, shall hear something better,' I mentally resolvea, as I yielded to his solicitation to be taken in. And so, homeward bound, I mused upon the Master's words, spoken so long ago:beside the Galilean Sea,: 'Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men'; and my heart responded, as I thought of 1 Carrots': 'Yea, Lord, I would fain follow Thee into all waters, fishing for such souls as these, whilst life holds out, not mindful of anything but this, that Tlwu hast said, "Follow Me.'" (3) SOME QUEER CHILDREN"' I HAVE MET 1 I AM not a very old fellow, in fact I don't mind telling you that I have oIlly just attained my sixtieth birthda~, and so I consider myself as still quite young and frisky ! Yet forty of those years have been spent among the children, the wastrel children of t~e slums, not merely of London, but' of all the great towns in the kingdom, such as Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Cardiff, Leeds, Birmingham, Portsmouth, Southampton, Bristol, Bath, Brighton, Hull and Plymouth, etc. etc. In all of these places it has been my delight t~ se\ ~~eful traps by which I might catch the wandering feet of httle homeless waifs who were v~OT~&s, or were in the custody of beggars or people of evil life who would in all likelihood have degraded and ruined them. I have caught thousands and thousands-and there are thousands more to catch! Boys and girls have always been very fond of me, and, I need not 1 This is the last article ever wcta.ted by Dr. Barnardo. It was never fully completed or revised. and is now published fol' the first; time. 356 DR. BARNARDO uy, I have been and am very fond of them.. I don't quite know what it is that makes children 60 attracti\"c to me; lmt although I havo had many who have been crippled and 6adly c.lefomu·.l, and some who have lJecn amicted with very (lrc&llful tlisOrUt'fll, I think I may say of a truth I have nC,'er 6e('n a "'ally ugly child! There is always to my mind something l,.,.~utiful in the littljl oncs, however disfigured they may be with .. in allll suffering, something that looks out of their young ('yel anll balf-fonned features, and that pathf'ticaUy appeals to one', pity and tympathy and 10ve-somethiDg', too, that fills one witb rc\'erenc(' fur chilll hood. It may be as the poet Whittier sings, th3t the young cbdd i. ' latest from God's hand and nearest unlo Bim.' So I have alwaYI go, on very well with children. WJll~n I began to search for them I had, like a fisherman, to U!;t my line into all kinds of waters, and lure my timid prey by the mut.t attractive bl\it I could devise. I had many a fishing nJ"cDture in my time I Sometimes I have spent the whole night long in slum streets with only my bull'a-eye lantern, travcned horriLlt' courts and alleys, examined tenement house. aDd common JoJging houses, spent hours in the market-places and down by the wharvu and in the railway stationa, and all this without.

M~ Smith and her siilter Joan and her litt.le Lrother Jack were gipsy children. They bad been born in gipsy nn5. nJ(~ three children had been ba.IC-starved and very badly u.ocd. On the day I met them they each bad on only one little garment and were without boots or head-coTering, and were as dUbcnIled and as unkempt and as difficult to control aa wild catl. In fact, M.uy APPENDIX B 357 was not unlike a cat-with her great flashing- eyes, and masses of\ reddish hair falling aU around her somewhat fierce-looking face. Mary could fight and scratch and bite-and she dii! After-I had succeeded in getting all the three into one of our EYer-Open Houses, I heard a few days afterwards that Mary was one of the most vicious and wildest little creatures that had ever been there. She would tolerate no interference !, Neither Mary nor her sister nor her brother knew anything of obedience-they did what they liked! If the Matron ventured to say a word, Mary would rush at her, catch her with her long bony fingers, and opening her mouth, lay hold of her arm and bite it, holding on with her teeth until the good Matron shrieked with pain, 'Not a very attractive girl,' you will say. And yet Mary was tamed at last. Yes, tamed as any child could be, and by very simple means. It was an old doll that did the work! For the Matron was turning out a cupboard, and what child is not de lighted with the odds and ends to be found in an old cupboard ~ Mary stood by with eager eyes seeing what looked to her like untold treasure! Among the things turned out was an old broken doll. It had some bits of clothing on it. It was greatly dilapi dated. Nevertheless, Mary seized it at once. C Oh, the dear live dolly! May I keep it ~ May'{ keep it 7' C It is not a live dolly,' said one of the other children, with the secret conscious ness of knowing so much better. 'It is,' said Mary, and she hissed and spat at her. 'It is! it is! a real,Jive dolly!' and she stamped in rage on the floor. The Matron interfered. 'No, my dear, dolly is not alive. What do you mean 1 ' With difficu.lty Mary pointed out that dolly had tW9 eyes, had a nose, had a few locks of hair still left in its prematurely .bald head, had a few garments that could be takeIJ. on and off. If that was not a live dolly, what could be 1 She had never seen the like before. 'What-have you never had a dolly1' 'Yes, ma'am.' "Well, what was it ~ke ~ ",-l.nd Mary ~xplained that it was a little bit of stick picked up in the hedgerow, around which wou~be 'tied a scrap of rag-and there you were', That was Mary's only previous dolly. Oh, if she might only keep this live dolly t The Matron, with a prudent recollection of yesterday's conflict and of her recent outburst, assented conditionally. 'If you promise me you will be good, you may have it while you are good; but if you 358 DR. BARNAllDO ~ behave badly and passionately like yellt~rday or this eVtnin~, 1 must take it aw.l.Y.' Mary was subdued. The whole of the evening she crooned and cuddled the Ih e dolly_ All the little mother-heart in her went out to the poor fragment of that battered toy, which had doubtlefll long ago passed out of some other child's treasures lUI too broken and too poor for usc. Bed-time came. It w~ always a difficulty to get Mary to t3k/her bath. The conBict threatened to begin. 'Now, Mary, unless you have your bath and are a good girl, you .1Ian't have the dolly in bed with you.' f Oh, mother r' Ihe gurell, and t11(,D, hugging her treasured 1)osse8sion in her arms, she meekly IU b mitted to be undressed, and by and by was tucke from the matron, who little knew that he had just destroyed her favourite cat! Sammy was told that he must never have Smut in bed with him, and there were good reasons for this order. Among othe'rs, it may be mentioned that Smut never would consent to be washed, and that its personal habits were the reverse of cleanly. It was therefore clearly not desirable that he should get into anyone's bed. This was pointed out to Sammy, and he promised ~bedi ence. But soon afterwards we saw Smut licking his lips, and we knew that an attempt would be made to break the rule. So the word was passed to the dormitory matron and monitors, and a very keen lookout was kept that Sammy should not bring Smut up, and he didn't.. Sammy came up looking perfectly innocent of all intentions of breaking any rule, and by and by conveyed him self and his warts and his white head and his squint to bed. The door was shut. By and by one of the monitors heard a peculiar noise coming from Sammy's bed, and getting up quietly, he drew near the head of the bed and stood behind the boy so that the latter could not see him, and presently he saw, slowly working his way up from the foot of the bed, underneath the clothes, the h~ad and body of Smut, which soon emerged. Smut licked his master's face, warts and all, but at that moment, happening to look up, he saw the monitor at the head of the bed, and deliberately winking with one of his wicked eyes, he drew back and crept underneath the clothes right to Sammy's feE'~ again. Now what did it all mean 1 In some way Sammy had conveyed to the dog what he wished him to do, and the cunning creature had gone)up stairs an hour before bedtime, had picked out Sammy's bed out of ninety-nine others in the dormitory, had jumped up on it to the end near the pillow where the sheets were turned down, and had burrowed his way underneath the bed-clothes to the very foot, and waited there patiently until his master came up to bed and until all watt quiet i:. -the dormitory, and all the light~ except the one that remains all night. . The rest of Smut's deeds, are they not written in the books of the archives of the Home 1 and in the memories of masters, matrons, monitors, and the writer, who were nearly driven out of their seven senses in trying to circumvent the numberless and daily dodges of Sammy and Smut!

It it a real plouur. to me to have the opportunity to do 80. The Doctor was always an ardent friend of the object of the Society, viz. the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. lIe wal OIlO of the first Council of the Society. On lome utterances of mine in The Child'~ Guardian, which he considered gave him just grounds of complaint, he withdrew from the Society. This was followed by utterances of mine on platforms which implied attacks on hia methods of work. In order to do justice to the Doctor, it must be remembered that when the Society was started it simply meant an expedient for reducing the miseries of children. Many espoused it who, when its methods were made clear, withdrew from it. A. a matter of fact, more than three-fourths o( the original Council fell away. Their idea that a mental effect, to be produced in the partnts of th.@. children needing protection, and this by the exist ence of a new Jaw and by its application in all CAsell of neglect and ill-treatment, was not believed in. Not until 80me yean'had passed and the original Council had practically all gont', could this principle be considered a.a the adopted: poli~ of the Society. The Council wa.a bj" this time compo~d of representatives of the Brancl'ie': of the Society wbich r were actually working the plan, and observed the blessin:;a which were the result both in the experience of the children and in the c~duct of parents. They knew it of their own knowledge. Meanwhile, it was all theory nnsupported by Dr. Barnardo's experience. He was firmly established in the belief in the benefit S7G APPENDIX H 377 of Homes and of Industrial Schools. He was the author of an unparalleled movement for the benefit of waifs and strays which had provided such means for their rescue, changed_ thousands of them from destitution and misery to comfort and happiness, from idleness and all sorts of dangers to themselves and to the com munity in the purlieus of London, to industry in the cornfields of Canada. It was !1 great thing in 1884 for the Society to include such men as Dr. Barnardo in its Council. In 1888 an utterance of mine on the Gossage Case deeply wounded him. It occurred in The Ohild's Guardian. It was accurate but without regard to a strong man's struggle with adversity. It was, I admit, crude, and lacked the sympathy which is necessary for a statement to be the whole truth. He felt it to be cruel. The Gossage Case has passed into forgotten things, and the lesson of it as to what is due to an active, earnest, and passionately religious man still remains. There were other things which gave him pain. In the course of my crusade, I uttered such sentences as C Charity for destitute children puts a premium upon parental indifference.' • We ought not to remove children from their wretched homes, but to remove the cause of their being wretched in them.' C What is wanted is not the ever-open door of Institutions for the wretched children, but ever-open doors of prisons for those who make them wretched: This seemed to him calculated to injure his grand work. It was absolutely and utterly foreign to their intention, and an effect I should have deeply regretted. Long before he had passed into the Great Peace he had come fully to believe this, and to rejoice in the result of my struggle. His last letter to me expressea the tone and bearing of his spirit, on the whole and in the long run, during the twenty years of his relations with the S"ociety. . Forgive my reflecting that those who enter a contest on behalf of a great ca'iSe should, at least, not be surprised to ~ that 'neither they nor their oppone~ are fighting with the air. Tl>.ve will be a good deal of give and take of not wholly pleasant things. But love will forgive and heal. As regards what our Society has done for miserable children in the land, the following is a brief summary :- Since in 1889 it obtained the present law on cruelty and 378 DR BARNARDO became a Society for the Nation, ita Inspcct In protecting the yUUllg from the evils to which they are exposed, Lord Shaftesbury and Dr. Bamardo were our pioneers. His Lordship attacked the factory and workshops; the ,Doctor the dens and slums of our cities. Our work has a ne!" sphere the house and the parent. We have given a new meaning to cruelty, and we use new means for its abolition. The success of our efforts is found in the vast difference between the habits practised by the parents 'of twenty-five years ago and those lleing practised by the same class to-day. Allow me to add that I feel it to have been one of the greatest' privileges of my life to have known Dr. Barnardo.-Yours very truly, (Si~ed) BENJAMIN WAUGH. WEYBRIDGE, May 18, 1906. Sr, LEONARD'S LODGE, SURBITON, 25th May 1905. DEAR MR. W A.UGH,-I ha.ve just returned ~ysEM from an enforced leave of absence in the hope of finding som~ measure of health and strength by a prolonged rest. Happily I have returned much improv~d thereby, only, however, to learn what grieves me more than I can say, that you are compelled by your infirmities to relinquish the helm of that Society which you have so ably managed, and which you have steered clear into safe and ,prosper ous waters. I have read this morning with deep interest your cheery and very touching farewell in The Child's Guardian, and ~~felt I l!ust not delay sending you a few lines of sympathy and goodwill, and to say, first, how much I hop,e for yoursel~ that you may find, with greater leisure and quiet, a real return of health; and se~()nd, how earnestly and sincerely I hope that the great Society you have fow4ed may be 'carried on as successfull5-.as you nave carried it on by whoe~s chos~n to be your successor,,, It is seldom that a maIl: in your position, who has done your 'Work, is permitted to' see his successor take up the reins', from hiS' --hand and assume administrative control. It may prove 'a great blessing to your Society that you are able' to do this, for you may yet be able to guide' with your counsel and with' your great experience 380 DR BARNARDO those who, perhaps, without such aid, might fail in their fint tnde.1vours.
