FREE DENTAL WORK
FOR POOR CHILDREN
District Surgeons Will Aid
Deserving Families.
TO OPERATE IN HOSPITALS
Members Of National Capital Dental
Society Decide to Adopt Charity
Plan Unique in Washington-Each
Doctor to Devote Two Hours q
Month to the Cause.

Free treatment Of the teeth Of deserv-
ing poor children was decided upon yes
terday at a meeting Of the National Capt.
tai Dental Society of the District Of Co
}umbia
The proposed charity is unique In
washington, although established else
where notably in Boston. and opens a
new field Of endeavor for a class OF pro-
fessional men. who. while they are fire.
quently enough not paid for their serv-
ices, have not hitherto figured prominent
ly in the District in an organized effort
to reach those who cannot afford to
pay them.
1t was voted that every member of
the society should devote two hours of
his time every month to treating poor
children gratuitousy. and the work is eX-
pected to start shortly. The plans have
not vet been perfected and the society
is still uncertain about what procedure it
will follow. The suggestion most likely
to be adopted is that dental chairs and
complete equipments will be established
in several hospitals near the center of
the city. and as each members turr
comes around he will handle the cases
assigned him at the hospitals instead of
at his private oftic2.
Patients to Be Recomme nded.
The patients who will receive the free
treatment will he mostly school children
recommended by the inspectors of the
teeth of public school pupils. An in
vestigation by the society, conducted on
its own account some time ago. revealed
that between 80 and e per cent had de-
fectivc teeth, some of the cases being
Of a serious nature and likely to affect
other organs, such as those of hearing
and sight The society strongly recon-
mended that two official and salaried in
spectors be appointed to make regular in
spections and il is believed that this will
soon become a law.
The National Capital Dental Society, Of
which d.. Starr Parsons is president, has
about twenty-five members, which would
be about fifty hours Of free treatment
per month for the poor.
Among those at the meeting yesterday
and who heartily approved Of the chari-
table enterprise were Drs Parsons, c. H
