CITES AIM OF MEETING Sees Need of Strength to Face Increasing Pressure of Modern Life. (8y Associacd Press) WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-How to endow the future American child with the mental and physical strength needed to cope with the pressure of a magic, mechanized world was the problem laid by President Hoover tonight before his White House conference on child health and protection. Mr. Hoover spoke in Constitution hall at the opening session of the conference and asserted that the1 fundamental purpose of the 2,500 delegates was to set forth an un- derstanding of those safeguards which will assure to children health in mind and body. Problems of Society. "The problems of tne child are not always the problems of the child alone," he said. "In the vision of the whole of our social fabric, we have loosened new ambitions, new energies; we have produced a complexity of life for which there is no precedent. With machines ever enlarging man's power and capacity, with electricity extending over the world its magic, with the Air giving us a wholly new realm, our children must be prepared to ieet entirely new contactsand new forces. They must be physically strong and mentally placed to stand up under the increasing pres- sure of life. Their problem is not alone one of physical health, but of mental, emotional, spiritual health. Seek Answers. "These are the problems that I char e you to answer. This task thatg you have come here to per- form has never been done before. These problems are not easily answered. They reach the very root of our national life. We need to meet them squarely and to accuse ourselves as frankly as possible, tc see all the implications that trail in our wake, and to place the blame where it lies and set resolutely to attack it." The Chief Executive told the conference that the problem falls into three groups: first, the protec- tion and stimulation of the norma child; second, aid to the physically defective and handicapped child; third, the problems of the delin- quent child.
