DENTISTS IN SCHOOLS.
Results Of Exer,ination of Teeth of
 Pupils in Waterbury.

No better argument for dental in- spection of WaterDury schools could be presented than the result of the in soecsIon of the Croft school, says the Waterbury Repcbtican- The Croft school was ths first to be investigated, and tae conditions were surprising. Only about two per cent of the pupils were found to 1e<e perfect teeth and in the mouths ofSthe SIS children ex- amined. 4.4s4 decayed teeth were mo- zed
 The need of thorough dental ex- animation of schools has been advo- cated by dental societies all over the country. but 1t WAS only last spring that the Waternsary board of education <onzzdered the matter seriously. So snnpresSed were the commissioners eentatives of the Waterbury Dental society that they appropriated $500 for the work
 The-society, which has about twen- snans6iaIaiy. Supplies were ordered and sn a short time the examination WAS begun in the Croft school. Twenty-hve dentists agreed to give up tain the conditions ir,fthe local schools. The examining dentists receive no compensation for their work and do no operating in the schools
 At the Croft school, the dentists examined each child's mouth care fully, noting each defect These de- fects were marked on small charts, one copy of this was sent to the par en1s, another to the board of educa- tton and the society kept the other. The examinations always included short lectures on the care of the teeth and the cIase relation between the condition of the teeth and the general heza-h
 Contrary to the general belief, the children of foreign parents were found to have good. sound teeth This was not due so much ta tre care 1aka:: Of them as the kind Of food generally eaten by iu1mig grants, before they be- come accustomed to the softer Ameri- can foods which acted natural cfeznsers and conservatives of the teeth
 After completing the work at the Croft school the examining dentists then began the same kind of work at the DugEan school Considerable prog rzs was made before the close of the school year The work will be con ued with the opening of the next school year

DISHONEST WEIGHT.
Scales and Measures in New Haven
 Cheat Many Buyers.

That New Haven has been -fleeced daily and to no small degree, is clear ly shown by the outcome of Sea1er of Weights and Measures Edward J. Ma rGneys trips to Commerce street, early mornings for the past few days. He went for the purpose of inspecting the outfits. used by New Havens swarm of hucksters iU making their sales.
 Nearly two dozen confiscated meas ures told the story. Means, both crude and otherwise were found by which the dea lerS in fruits and vegetables cheated the unsuspeeting. housewife. The most glaring of these violations was taken by MT. Maroney to his of fee in the city hall, where they will remain until called upon to be used again the next time as a help to meas ure justice. The sealer is undecided as to the way he shall proceed and is greatly handicapped by the present or dinances governing his actions in such matters. He admits that arrests should be made in some cases and it is possi- bie that he will appeal to the city attorney for warrants in a short time
 The first day he found three two quart measures and two peck meas ures not giving the proper amount The next morning on visiting other hucksters he found more measures that he confiscated. In some instances the owners were not responsible for the fact that their measures were un- lawful. as some had warped out of shape or had become worn But then again he found other measures that had been purposely manipulated to de- fraud the public
 One of the measures taken by MT. Maroney to his office illustrates this- It is a peck rnea ure In the bottom of the inside is a thick. board, the same color as the measure. It is al most impossible to detect 1t unless making an examination, and yet 1t served to cheat hundreds of people out of that which is much needed in these days of high priced commodities. Yet the owner of the measure was not wholly satisfied with the double bot tom. He forced the bottom up into the inside of the measure at least half an inch. but this also would be all most impossible to detect
