Might save the Dentist Bill.

Some OF the dental fraternity OF
New Y ork are seriously considering
the idea OF securing the introduction
10 the public schools OF course OF
study of the teeth. They are OF
opinion that there are many reasons
why the course should be taken up.
In two other cities efforts looking
to the establishment Of such sys-
TEN are under way. Chicago is
agitating the question, and Minpea-
polls is also actively interested in
the proposed departure. The pro.
motors say there is vast amount OF
ignorance among children concern
ing the organs Of msstication and
the proper means of cleansing them.
1t is proposed to influence Boards
Of Education to provide text books
and charts for impressiug the minds
OF the young.
"It is scientific fact" one of the
gentlemen interested in this work
says, that dangers from infectious
Diseases will be lessened IL proper
hygienic rules are observed, and we
are hopeful that the course may be
introduced throughout the country.
In Minnesota the men who are back
of the plan, the members OF the
Minnesota Dental Association, have
offered to bear large share of the
expense Of supplying the schools
with the books and charts. I am
not prepared to say that the same
would be done here. / believe the
Board of Education should help
this scheme as much as possible. Of
course, there are countless plans
suggested for new studies, aud the
teacher has her own troubles keep
ing abreast of the innovations, but
the study of dentistry is such ne
cessary line that | think no con-
scientious teacher would make seri-
GUS objection to the addition"
The curious feature of the idea is
that it emanates from the dentists,
who would naturally be expected TO
be the chief gamers by carelessness
in the tending of teeth.
