E-SCHOOL CHILD i EJahi Institutions to Co-op- crate in Work Covering Three-Year Period. “ B A national institution for the study ©f the pre-school child is to be es PHilghed in Washington some time after the new year. Bight institutions will co-operate in the direction and management of this center—George Washington Uni- versity, the University of Maryland, the National Research Council, the Bureau of Home Economics of the Department of Agriculture, the United States Department of Education, the Public Health Service. the American Association of University Women and | the American Home Economics ciation. The latter organization will admin- ister a grant of $80,000 from the Laura Spellman Rockefeller Memorial Fund made with various condiiions ‘which insure a three.year program of child research Research Laboratory. It was originally planned w0 start work this Fall but delay in securing a suitable director and quarters has :nnde it necessary to defer the open- ng. The institution as planned will he in the nature of a laboratory where | various problems of child psychology | and child nutrition will Le worked out, but the project also calls for an ambitious program of adult edu- cation. making the results of the vari- ous researches here and in other pre- | schoul research laboratories available s0 that they can be used in every home. Tae plan is to work with Washing: ton children and the institution is ex- c«:lofl to be of great value to District omes and schools, but, because of t.2 national institutions involved, the work will be much more national in scope than that of the five other pre- school child research centers which have been established in the last few years at the Universities of California, Minnesota and Iowa and at Columbia and Cornell. ‘The study of the preschool child, between the ages of 2 and 5, it was explained by a prominent educator | this morning, has been coming rapid- 1 the front in the past few years. viously research work had been th children already in school when y of the mental and physical its which remain through life ready had been established by the jous st'muli in the homes.

Defense counsel previously had obtained from H L. Phillips, president of the bln- clair Crude Oil Purchasing statement to the effect that production had been falling off sharply. Because of such conditions in the fields, the defense claimed that the $400,000 paid the Continental company for Lue as. signment of its contract was a “fair and reasonable price.” ‘The Government called Arlington C. Harv representing the Pure Oil i Ca which had acquired in 1924 all the physical properties of the two Humphreys companies. From Har- vey a set of figures was produced, purporting to show the amount of oil delivered under the Continental contract and taken from the Hum- phreys fleld as late as 192 Littleton interposed objections when Roberts attempted to read from the figures to show that the production ran as high as 600,000 barrels in some months.
