Abstract:

Rev. Albert S. Barnes, of Wayne County, is the dean of orphanage superintendents in the state. He became the chief executive of the Methodist Orphanage in Raleigh in 1915, and he has served without interruption for twenty-nine years. There are currently 300 children in the orphanage, and during his tenure he has been known as \"Daddy Barnes\" to over 8,000. Madison examines Barnes' style which has made him so successful as a superintendent.
