WELCOME.
On the reaching of the miscellaneous
business City Attorney Parks, as represen-
tative of the city government, was intro
duced by the chair and made brief adj
dress, in which he extended to the conven
ton and the members composing the as
ISOLATION welcome to the city of Rock
Island. The speaker incidentally touched
upon the fact that it was his pleasure to
meet the dentists collectively, when such
pleasure was not always so marked and
characteristic when the meeting was con-
fined to single member.
Mr.. Parks also alluded to the vast i'm
provement which had been made in the
science of dentistry within the past few
years and attributed the advance to the
general conventions of the members en-
gagged in the dental profession
DR. Black, of Jacksonville, in behalf of
the association, responded to the address
of welcome and thanked the city and its
representatives for the words of welcome
which had been given the association.
DR. Black stated that the members had
every reason to remember the city of Rock
Island with pleasure, as several years ago
the convention met here and were so pleas
antlv entertained that the most agreeable
recollections still remained. In proof of
this assertion the speaker stated that the
city of Rock Island was somewhat removed
from the central part of the state and being
in one extreme, required a trip of many
miles for most of the members. Notwith |
standing this drawback Rock Island had
been named as the place of meeting for
the present year on account of the hospit- |
able entertainment at its last meeting held
in this city. He had no doubt that the
present meeting would be productive of
the same pleasant feelings on the part of
the members, and closed by again express
ing his thanks and the thanks of the asso-
citation for the welcome extended to the
members by the representatives of the city. |
