Washington, January 25.-The import ance of the preservation of the home in- tact was the central theme around which the discussion revolved at the conference on the care of dependent children, which was formally opened by President Roose- welt at the White House today.

 It was the unanimous opinion of an ar ray of notable charity workers and oth- CTS who took part in the discussion that the child can best be reared under the in- f1uence of the home and that they should be removed from the family circle only when proper supervision at home had be- come impossible. It was also the con sensus of opinion that where poverty ex- ists in the home, state aid should be given.
