THOMAS See also:JOHN See also:BARNARDO (1845-1905)
, See also:English philanthropist, and founder and director of homes for destitute See also:children, was See also:born at See also:Dublin, See also:Ireland, in 1845
.
His See also:father was of See also:Spanish origin, his See also:mother being an Englishwoman
.
With the intention of qualifying for medical missionary See also:work in See also:China, he studied See also:medicine at the See also:London See also:hospital, and later at See also:Paris and See also:Edinburgh, where he became a See also:fellow of the Royal See also:College of Surgeons
.
His medical work in the See also:east end of London during the epidemic of See also:cholera in 1865 first See also:drew his See also:attention to the See also:great See also:numbers of homeless and destitute children in the cities of See also:England
.
Encouraged by the support of the seventh See also:earl of See also:Shaftesbury and the first Earl See also:Cairns, he gave up his See also:early ambition of See also:foreign missionary labour, and began what was to prove his See also:life's work
.
The first of the " Dr See also:Barnardo's Homes " was opened in 1867 in See also:Stepney See also:Causeway, London, where are still the headquarters of the institution
.
From that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time the work steadily increased until, at the time of the founder's See also:death, in 19o5, there were established 112 See also:district " Homes," besides See also:mission branches, throughout the See also:United See also:Kingdom
.
The See also:object for which these institutions were started was to See also:search for and to receive waifs and strays, to feed, clothe, educate, and, where possible, to give an See also:industrial training suitable to each See also:child
.
The principle adopted has been that of See also:free and immediate See also:admission; there are no restrictions of See also:age or See also:sex, See also:religion or See also:nationality; the physically robust and the in-curably diseased are alike received, the one necessary qualification being destitution
.
The See also:system under which the institution is carried on is broadly as follows: the infants and younger girls and boys are chiefly " boarded out " in rural districts; girls above fourteen years of age are sent to the industrial training homes, to be taught useful domestic occupations; boys above seventeen years of age are first tested in labour homes and then placed in employment at See also:home, sent to See also:sea or emigrated; boys of between thirteen and seventeen years of age are trained for the various trades for which they may be mentally or physically fitted
.
Besides the various branches necessary for the foregoing work, there are also, among others, the following institutions:—a See also:- RESCUE (in Middle Eng. rescous, from O. Fr. recousse, Low Lat. rescussa, from reexcussa,reexcutere, to shake off again, re, again, ex, off, quatere, to shake)
rescue home for girls in danger, a convalescent seaside home, and a hospital for sick waifs
.
In 1872 was founded the girls' See also:village home at Barkingside, near See also:Ilford, with its own See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church and See also:sanatorium, and between sixty and seventy cottage homes, forming a real " See also:garden See also:city "; and there Barnardo himself was buried

In 1901, through the generosity of Mr E

See also:Watts, a See also:naval school was started at See also:North See also:Elmham, near See also:Norwich, to which boys are drafted from the homes to be trained for the See also:navy and the See also:mercantile marine
.
Perhaps the most useful of all the varied work instituted by Barnardo is the See also:emigration system, by which means thousands of boys and girls have been sent to See also:British colonies, chiefly to See also:Canada, where there are distributing centres at See also:Toronto and See also:Winnipeg, and an industrial See also:farm of some 8000 acres near See also:- RUSSELL (FAMILY)

The fact that in Canada less than 2 % of the children sent out proved failures confirmed Barnardo's conviction that " if the children of the slums can be removed from their surroundings early enough, and can be kept sufficiently See also:long under training, See also:heredity See also:counts for little, environment for almost everything." In 1899 the various institutions and organizations were legally incorporated under the See also:title of " The See also:National Association for the reclamation of Destitute Waif Children," but the institution has always been familiarly known as " Dr Barnardo's Homes." Barnardo laid great stress on the religious teaching of the children under his care
.
Each child is brought up under the See also:influence and teaching of the See also:denomination of the parents
.
The homes are divided into two sections for religious teaching, Church of England and Non-conformists; children of Jewish and See also:Roman See also:Catholic parentage are, where possible, handed over to the care of the Jewish See also:Board of Guardians in London, and to Roman Catholic institutions, respectively
.
From the See also:foundation of the homes in 1867 to the date of Barnardo's death, nearly 6o,000 children had been rescued, trained and placed out in life
.
Barnardo died of angina pectorisin London on the 19th of See also:September 1905
.
A national memorial was instituted to See also:form a fund of £250,000 to relieve the various institutions of all See also:financial liability and to See also:place the entire work on a permanent basis
