CHILD WELFARE DATA
FOR HOME AND SCHOOL
DR.. Barnard, Conference Director,
Urges Washington to Set
Example for Nation.

A plea for carrying into every home
and school the findings of the White
House Conference on Child Welfare was
made by DR.. H. E. Barnard, director of
the conference, In an address to the
Mckinley High School Parent-Teacher
Association In the school auditorium
last night.
In his address Dr.. Barnard sketched
the woqk which the conference pro-
poses toNndertake next month and he
declared that every effort Of the off,
cial group would be void unless parents
and educators attempted to apply the
solutions and theories to actual child
life.
Urging sympathetic reception Of the
work of the conference, DR.. Barnard
declared:
by taking stock of our children to-
day we may prepare for better children
tomorrow. What you do here In Wash
ington will be a model for the rest of
the country"
The most vital period in a child's
educational life, he said, was between
birth and 6 years of age, even before
the Official" schooling period is begun.
Thus, he pointed out, the home must be
relied upon for much of the advance
ment In child welfare. It is entirely
possible, he indicated. that nutrition
theories will be altered through the
findings of the conference.
DR.. Barnard was introduced to the
Mckinley High School audience by
Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant
superintendent of schools. Others on
the program included Catherine Lem
root, assistant chief Of the Children's
Bureau, Department of Labor; Frank
Daniel, principal of Mckinley; w. E.
Baker, secretary Of the National Con-
gress Of Parents and Teachers, and Mrs.
j. N. Saunders, president Of the District
Of Columbia Congress of Parents and
Teachers.

ACCUSED DENIED BOND
AT STORMY HEARING
Defense Counsel Declares Early
Trial Has Been His Prin-
cipal Goal.

Every effort Of the Government to
establish prior acQuaintanceShip be-
tween Herbert M. Campbell and Mary
Baker has failed, it was disclosed today
as plans went forward for the murder
trial Of the Virginia real estate man
October 81.
Campbell was denied bond at
stormy hearing yesterday before Asso-
ciate Justice Jesse g. Adkins in the
District Supreme Court. His arraign-
ment was marked by the appearance
for the first time at the defense coun-
sci table Of William e. Leahy, promi-
nent Washington attorney. A plea Of
not guilty was entered by the de-
PENDANT.
Sees Case Strengthened.
William H. Collins, ranking assistant
United States attorney, In confirming
reports that several detectives had
ence of a friendship between Campbell
and the slain girl, declared no one has
been found who could offer the slight
est confirmation of such an acquaint-
anceship. Collins said, however, that
due to the line on which the prosecution
will proceed "the fact that Campbell
didn't know Miss Baker win strengthen
our case" ~isslsanai
His face fun Of color as result Of
two weeks of freedom under bail,
Campbell was removed to the District

Of confidence by appearing In court as
directed after two weeks Of freedom

eral Judge d. Lawrence Groner after
the defense withdrew opposition to re-
moval from Alexandria to Washington
| Although Collins had comparatively
little TO say, his remarks were firm and
to the point. He declared he was op-

committed in the District"
Justice Adkins termed the request FOR
