	Barnard, Joseph H., 1930-1945 Physical Description: 68 folders Note Location: Riven Rock Estate, Montecito, California (near Santa Barbara). Riven Rock was an estate operated by a Board of Guardians consisting of Mrs. Blaine, Harold McCormick, Mrs. Stanley McCormick, and a group of professionals at a cost of over $250,000 per year for Stanley McCormick, incompetent son of Cyrus Hall McCormick. Joseph H. Barnard acted as executive secretary to the board of guardians for the administration of Riven Rock from 1930 to 1945. Lieutenant Colonel Barnard served 32 years in the United States Army before accepting this position. The 68 folders filed under the name of Joseph Barnard consist mainly of his weekly reports from Riven Rock and very comprehensive monthly reports to the board of guardians. Several maps of the estate grounds and buildings are found in the folder for September and October, 1931. The primary interest of Barnard in his reports was the general administration of Riven Rock. From his very complete monthly reports much can be learned: about prices of almost anything from 1930 to 1945, wage and salary rates, problem of securing adequate water supply, the progression of taxes on personal income during the war years, administration of a large estate, and a host of day to day problems. Important to the fruit growing economy of the West is a telegram dated March 1, 1935, which explains very concisely the operation of the Johnston Fruit Company, a growers' cooperative of Montecito to which every fruit grower had to belong in order to market his fruit. Although Barnard's reports do not attempt to explain the development of Mr. Stanley McCormick's mental health from 1930 to 1945, much can be learned through the minutes of the annual meetings of the Board of Guardians which usually met between March and July. This source of information is valuable as a case history of a mental patient whom some doctors classified as suffering from psychosis, others from schizophrenia. What is unusual about this case is that money was no object in the treatment of this man's malady. Thousands of dollars were spent each month in securing the best medical aid. The reports of the different doctors on this case are revealing. The more complete reports are listed below. Reports filed under: July 14, 1832. Arguments regarding the relative value of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, and medical treatment of the patient. (Mrs. Stanley McCormick is found usually favoring only medical treatment while the brother and sister of the patient are willing to try almost anything). May 20, 1935. April 12, 1937. In addition to the usual report on the mental health of Mr. McCormick includes a consideration of possible shock treatment through the injection of insulin. April 28, 1943. Includes a summary of current treatments of schizophrenia which is very complete. Other items of interest in these folders are: Musical therapy. Mr. McCormick was interested in orchestral and vocal music and had on the estate a small orchestra. Mr. Eldred, musical director at Riven Rock, reveals the type of therapy in letters dated December 6, 1935, but found in the June and July, 1936 folder. See also monthly financial reports for special artists brought to Riven Rock to perform for Mr. McCormick. Legal case of Miss Copren. She was a R.N. at Riven Rock who was injured by a blow from Mr. McCormick. Information on this case is found throughout the 1935 -1936 folders. Security. A report dated May 27, 1942 reveals some measures of the United States government to protect the California coast from invasion. The general tone of the reports in the war years is that there should be less spending for luxuries that are visible to the public. Western ranches. The guardians thought it necessary to arrange an alternative estate for Mr. McCormick in case of evacuation from the coast. The folder for August, 1942 contains information and photographs of ranches in the West which were considered by the guardians. Scattered throughout the folders are documents which indicate the legal status of an incompetent person.

During the 30's when Paul was fighting his disease in Tucson, he worked toward becoming a writer. The Saturday Review of Literature, 1939 June 10 (enclosed) contains a favorable review of “Forward Children,” a novel by Paul Bartlett which is strongly anti war. Correspondence shows that Paul and his mother, although they were straight forward in asking for aid, were very grateful for what they received.

By July 12, 1934 Bauer was connected with the National World Court Committee, and in January of 1942 he corresponded on behalf of Citizens Emergency Committee on Non-Defense Expenditures. In 1923 the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association aimed to “secure the insertion in both the Republican and Democratic party platforms, in 1924, of a plank favoring entrance of the United States into the League of Nations.” Mrs. Blaine was active in the organizational work of the Association in the Chicago area for she was appointed to organize the Association in Chicago, Mrs. Blaine also gave financial aid, contributing $1,000 three months in succession in late 1923 and early 1924. In 1925 the Association concentrated on generating enthusiasm for United States membership in the World Court. All types of mass communication were used in this effort. Mrs. Blaine contributed, for example, $2,000 toward the production of a movie “Hell and the Way Out.” From the correspondence of Mr. Bauer it is not certain how much support Mrs. Blaine gave to the Association. However, in 1926 she promised to continue a monthly contribution of $500. April 6, 1926 correspondence contains a receipt for $6,500 from Mrs. Blaine. Mrs. Blaine continued her contribution of $500 a month from 1927 to 1933 besides several extra contributions.

The folders in general contain a running narrative of the activities of the Association. Personal letters contain much concerning the financing of the Association in general and Mrs. Blaine's role in particular. Also included are many pamphlets and leaflets that were circulated. This correspondence reveals the workings of an opinion molding organization. In July of 1934 Bauer asked Mrs. Blaine for a personal loan of $500 to carry him over a crisis. In January of 1942 he appealed for support for his project “to see to it that during the war effort all unessential expenditures of government should be eliminated,” on behalf of the Citizens Emergency Committee on Nondefense Expenditures.
