And Agencies For Care cf

Mothers. ,
(Washington, Jan. 25. The import
ance of the preservation cf the In m !
Intact was the central theme artuud
which tho dlseuskm revolved at thu
conference on the care, of dependent
children, which Was formally opened
by I'reslileut Roosevelt at the Whit i
House late today. The subject under
consideration was "should the break
ing of a home be permitted for reas
ons of poverty, or only fof reasons ot
inefficiency cr Immorality"
It was (' unanimous opinion of the
array of notable charity workers and
others who tok art in the discussion
that the lii.d can be best reared un
do r tlie. Influence of the home and
that they should be removed from the
rainlly circle only when proper super
vision at home has become impossi
ble. It also was the consensus of
opinion that where poverty exists at
home, st aid sub! conme insiou hoato
home, state aid should be Rlvei.
While ths subject formed the princi
pal topic of dlsussion. other questions
of equally vital Importance to tl e
child were considered. ,
After outlining the scope tf tl .
work before the conference, Presld. nt
RooBifvelt called Homer Folks, presi
dent 'of the state probation commis
sioned New York to the chair.
"There can be no more Important
subject from a standpoint cf the na
tion than that, with which you deal,"
I said, the preaideut, "bcauK"s when yon
alu
care of the children today you
are taking care
t . . .
of the nation tomor
row, and it is incumbent ukui ever
one of us to do all In his or her power ,
provide for the Interest of thosn
hildreii when cruel misfortune ban
andlcapped them at he very outset
of
their lives. I earnestly hope thfl
members of this conference will taku
progressive stand, so as to esta-
lish the goal toward which the whole
ounlry can work.. In other words, I
arnestly hope each of you will con-
ider, not only the iuterests of bU
own immediate locality, uui me inter-
sis of the nation as a whole."
Tho president then discussed till
irlous coudilions which the confer-
lice Is trying to meet and ine iiin.r-
nt types of children who need care,
md m uili a number of suggestion-!
ovoring these conditions, the trend
being that depend. 'lit children should
be provided with a home, or. when
that U not possible, in nn institution
as near like a home as it Is possible
lo make it. He said that while Hi"
government can do much it cauni.t do
verythlng, and that there must nl
.ays be help by individuals and asso
iations outside.
Nearly nil the speakers contended
for the right and duty of the state
to control ull institutions and agen
cies for the care of dependent child-
n, although the prior right of par
ents was recognized. tine or int
strongest addresses was by I)r. Kind
Hirsch. of Chicago, who pleaded for
the preservation of the family and
held that there was glaring Inconsis
tency in the n aiing or children in in
stitutions where all Idea of family life
was obliterated, and theu expect thes
children to do their part In a society
founded on the home and res ted In
the family. The Ir. concluded as fol
lows: "In the long run. peusiooi'ig
mothers is cheaper than building alti'i
houses and jails and reformatory
