FOUNDATION FUND
FAVORED BY DENTISTS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. July s.-The Ma
tional Dental association today adopted g
resolution to establish a foundation fund
for dental research work.
Following a talk by DR.. Weston A.
Price, chairman of the foundation COM
mittee, it was decided that each of the
40. 0O0 dentists in good standing In the
United States should contribute at least
81 to the fund.
''What the dental profession needs to-
day is to set down to the cause OF
things said Dr. Price. Il am afraid
too many OF us are satisfied to bore out
a decayed tooth, fill 1t and let it go al
that.

tain perfect sets OF teeth Today more

decayed teeth. Certainly there Is some
great tearing down force or germ at

ADDRESSES
BOARD OF EDUCATION
DR.. e. D. Eaton, President of Beloit
College, Guest at
Meeting.

The Rev. Edward D. Eaten, D. D., LII.
D. president Of Beloit college Of Wiscon-
sin, was visitor at the board Of educa-
ton meeting last night, addressing the
board briefly on educational topics,
The noted educator was introduced to
the board members by Henry Van Pelt,
Beloit many years ago. He spoke of DR..
Eaton as one Of the leading men of let
ters in America and paid high tribute to
his administration OF the Beloit univer-
Sity.
Dr. Eaton paid high compliment to the
school system OF Salt Lake and congratu-
lated the board of education for the splen-
did strides made In educational ma tiers.
He declared without reservation that he
knew Of no city in the world more enter
prising In school matters than Salt Lake.
The new high school, ne said, was a mod
ell to be patterned after by any city in
the world and the Hawthorne school, Salt
Lakes most mod ern grade school, he de-
clared 10 be without equal in the coun-
try.
The principal feature of this state so
far as DR.. Eaton had been able to observe,
he said, was Its fine enthusiasm and un-
bounded enterprise towards higher edu-
cational ideals 1t seems to be the chief
aim OF the commonwealth, he said.
The board went into regular session aft
er DR.. Eaton had spoken, transacting nu-
merouS routine matters or school buSi-
ness.
On motion OF George NJ. Sullivan the
board referred to the committee on school
law the question as TO whether the board
has the legal right to spend money from
its general fund for Improvement Of
streets in front OF school buildings. This
question has arisen since the city admin
istration refused to include in improve
ment districts those blocks bordering on
school property. holding that the board
should make and pay for Its own I'm
provementS.
A letter from the architect on the high
school work was read, showing that the
work is progressing more rapidly at pres
ent than for several months. The build
ing Is two or three months behind sched-
ule. however, and the architects explained
that It might be necessary TO work double
shifts on the building In order to have 1t
completed in time for opening OF school
next fall,
The board adjourned to meet next Mon
day. July Ia, when bids for the purchas Sc
OF the school bonds authorized at the re-
cent special election will be received and
opened.
