Inc AueIlCdH DSilldl aSSOCldJlOu Is lOT-
mally in session in Minneapolis, the TWEEN
ty-ffth annual session of the distinguished
body, and the first to be held west of the
Mississippi river. In round numbers, 500
members are in attendance, including the
leading dental talent OF the nation. and
composed of as tine-looking and intelligent
body as ever deliberated. The sessions
are being held in CurtiSs hall, and it is a
matter Of some little regret that more
roOmy and commOdious auditorium was not
selected. Yesterday was largely devoted to
the work of organizing, which is task of
some magnitude. when one understands the
elaborate and rather complicated system by
which the association secures its splendid
results.
BY WAY OF HISTORY,
The association is now in its twenty
sixth wear, the first regular session having
been held in Washington in 1860. Since
then its annual meetings have been reg
ularly held, even during the civil war,
and its older members trace the upward
career of dentistry from the crude knowl-
edge and cruder instruments of 1860 to the
advanced place in philanthropic science to-
day occupied by the profession. The larger
Eastern cities have usually been chosen as
the places of meeting, and Chicago, until
this year, was the most westerly point,
midsummer meeting having been held at
the famous Greenbrier Springs Of West
Virginia.
Membership in the association is of three
classes: Delegates, permanent and honor
airy members. The first requisite TO MEM
bership is to have been chosen a delegate
from some organized dental body, after
which the delegate may be elected to
active membership. which he holds
permanently. The officers are president,
two vice presidents recording and CORE
spending secretaries, treasurer and an eX-
ecutive committee Of nine members, hold
ing Office for term of one year. The eX-
ecutiye committee is divided into three di-
visiOnS-on arrangements, on credentials,
ethics and auditing, and on voluntary es-
says-three members comprising each di-
vision. For convenience. fox simplicity and
to divide up and accelerate the work. the
body of membership is divided into seven
sections, each devoted to a branch of dental
science, and i'll which any member may en-
roll himself as he may elect. They are as
follows:
Section 1-Prosthetic dentistry, chemistry
and metallurgy.
Second-Dental education.
Third-Dental literature and nomenclature.
Fourth-Opcrative dentistry.
. Fifth-Anatomy. histology and microscopy.
SiXth-Pathology, therapeutics and materia
medica.
Seventh Physiology and etiology.
The sections prepare the work of the as
ISOLATION, each devoting itself to its especial
branch. This work. with the routine bust
ness and the interesting clinics, will form
the entire proceedings. The work of yes
terday, summed up, included the organiZa-
lion. adIpiSSiOn of new members and the
consideration Of the early work of the con-
ventiOn. Three sessions will be held each
day until Friday, when the final adjourn
ment will be had in the afternoon.
