To the Editor Of the Press:
lie is with astonishmont and indigna-
ton that read in the PRESS an attack

am at loss to decide whether the
writer who hides behind the exceedingly
inappropriate non de plume OF "Conser-
vative" wishes to be taken seriously or
merely desires to be funny at the expense
Of the dental profession. In either case
he will be taken seriously by some and,
therefore a reply is called for. That den
tai operations ale very often painful all
will admit, but SO are operations on the
eye, ear, nose, or any part of the human
anatomy, yet institutions for the treat
ment Of ali these organs exist, and are do
ing5a Christian work in the community.
Why not have an institution for the
treatment of the teeth and diseases of the
mouth?

preston that with IA dental clinic once es-
tablished the children of our charitable
Institutions will be driven there, wheth-
ar they will or no. Moth ing is further
from the truth. Every dentist knows
that there is demand for just this thing,
for every day he meets those who would
gladly avail themselves of his services II
they were able. 1t is for those who wish
work done and are not able to pay for IL
that this clinic Is to be established
OF course the guardians Of the children
must very often decide whether work
shall be done or not, just as the parent
decides for his child. and il 1t conflicts
with the wishes of the child, pray tell mo

choose TO call an "effete civilization.
AS to that part OF the article which

I'm destroyer" and accuses him of an
effort to ruin the teeth of the people, We
have no reply to make. IL has already
