TEETH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN.
Eight Out of Ten Pupils Are In Press

Eight OuG len Are
Ing Need of Dentist.
The teeth of the average schoolboy
or schoolgirl OF this country are in bad
condition. Probably eight out OF ten
school children, as they average. are
IN pressing need of the service of a
dentist. Mr.. Edwin Collins editor OF
the Lond.us Dentist, says than a few
years ago school committee was ap-
pointed by the British Dental Asso-
cation to examine ehildren's teeth al
various ages Over 10000 mouths were
examined and more than s. per cent
of the boys and girls of an average of
IL years needed treatment. In 1895,
out of $500 children's mouths in
spected, only S28, or a little more than
ene-fifth, contained no teeth requir-

brush Mr.. Edwin Collins writes in
the Nineteenth Century: "If it were
believed that the hands and feet OF
nearly all our children were, with
ever-inereasing frequency. attacked by
perfectly preventable diseases that
lead inevitably. when not checked at
an early stage. to modification and
the necessary amputation, one by one,
of all the fingers and toes, very little
persuasion would be needed to induce
parents, sehoolmasters and the public
authorities to insis, on periodical
examination of the hands and feet Of
school children. TO watch for tho first
premonitions of such disease, and to
compel by legislation. If necessary, the
early and effectual treatment of each

showed themselves. All that has been
said of the hypothetical finger and toe

the facts in regard to dental cases
