The broadening of the lives and
viewpoint of girls being trained in
Florence Crittenton Homes was sug-
gested by DR.. Grace Baker, a wom-
an physician connected with the
Johns Hopkins University, Balti-
more, Md, who delivered the princi-
pal address at the banquet in the
DuBarry Room of the DUPONT Bilt-
more, which marked the close of
the second day of the 48th annual
conference of the National Florence
Crittenton Mission being held in
Wilmington for the first time.
The conference, which concluded
at noon Tuesday, is the largest in
the organization's history. More
than so delegates from points as
far as North Dakota and Massachu-
setts, Tennessee and Ohio attended
the sessions.
Dr. Bakers subject was, "Physi-
cal and Mental Examinations-Spe-
cific Needs in Special Cases" She
said, in part:
I'VE must have something very
good to offer her if we can hope to

hall and the amusement park. We
must have something that answers
her own particular strivings and
needs if we are to hope to interest
her. The church and religious in
must be alive. All the

pursuits may be hers if we give her
more opportunity at school and help
in her reading. l believe that we

that scientific research has deter
mined the wastefulness of excessive
