DENTAL INSPECTION.
Or. Thomas Begins Work IN the CITY
Schools Wednesday Morning.

DIR. w. q. Thomas, recently APP
ncinted dental inspector for the public
schools Of Augusta, began the work o
| ipsnection at the Williams building
! Wednesday morning. Dental examina'
tion of about 200 children was con
ducted last year as an experiment
and showed that an average of over g.
ner cent. or about two-thirds of all pu-
nils throughout the grades have de
| fective teeth.
Every precaution is taken to prevent
infection of any kind. Sterilizing tab.
lets are dissolved in hot water. ane
through this disinfecting liquid all ex-
ploring instruments and mirrors are
passed before they enter the mouth OF
any pupil. a comfortable chair. espc-
ciary designed for the purpose has
been provided. making the whole pro-
cess rather pleasureable than other
wise for the little ones, who soon find
that this dentist doesn't hurt His
mission is rather to prevent. pain.
Dr. Thomas has devised u simple but
effective individual record. probably
,he best used in public school work in
any city of the United States. IT'S face
OF the teeth, both temporary and per-
manent. While examining the mouth
of pupil, the doctor calls off letters
or numbers to indicate defects, the
record being made by papil assist
ant. The completed record shows which
teeth nave cavities. whether the pupil
has ever had dental attention. the need
Of cleaning. if any. gross irregularities
of tile teeth, etc. 4 duplicate record
i'm carbon is also made, to be keot on
file in the school office. The original
record will be sent to the parent. and
q follow-up system will be devised
whereby very negligent parents Will
occasionally be reminded of the duty
they owe to their children's teeth. NO
records will be sent out until the IN
spection is completed when card OF
instructions concerning the care OF the
teeth will accompany each.
The first 25 pupils. taken at random
from Grade I, had total of 223 defec-
tive teeth. an average of about nine
rer pupil. The lowest number found IN
any mouth was one. the highest. 10.
Eighteen of the % had received no
dental attention, while "A of the % sets
of teeth were in need of cleaning. Pa
rents uuitc commonly neglect the
baby" teeth. supposing them to be OF
little importance, whereas the welfare
of the permanent set is largely depend
ent on the temporary teeth. Besides
the 6-year molars. so well known to
dentists are permanent, although an
pearing among the first set Ihirty-
four of the 223 detective teeth spoken
of above were these 6-year molars, al
ready started to decay.
The work of dental inspection will
he extended throughout all the schools
as rapidly as possible.

A broken trolley wire in front of the
postofIice extension was the cause OF
brilliant display of fireworks on wa
ter street at about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and no small amount of ex-
element, but luckily no one was in
jurcd. The trouble was due to large
iron arch, which was being lowered
by the derrick from the top of the post
office building. coming in contact with
the trolley wire of the castbound track
of the Lewiston. Augusta & Water
vile Street Railway, which caused the
wire to break or burn off and fall to
the pavement. and some of it coming
in contact with the rails resulted in
an electrical display Of the livclicst
kind. The O'Clock car from Winthrop
had just passed til" place when the
wire broke The ends OF the wire were
soon secured and repairs were made as
soon as possible. There was no de-
lay. cars being sent over the west
