I'll II years Of age, there is little dan
ger that they will discard a custom
SO wholesome and well established.
The sixth year the molars are
usually the first OF the permanent
teeth To appear land AS they usually
come before any of the temporary
teeth are gone. the belief that they,
too, are temporary teeth has been a
popular tallacy. Many parents, when
these teeth decay, allow them 10 -
ON To utter destruction under the mis-
taken belief that they are but temper.
AIRY teeth soon TO be lost anyway.
This is a very common and very un-
fortunate error. This tooth is known
among dentists as the key To the den.
tai arch, as it plays a very important
part in the development and alignment
of the teeth which are to follow. This
tooth erupts when the child is six
years old and should be saved and not
mistaken for a temporary tooth.
! do not believe there is any one
feature i'm the practice of hygiene 50
far reaching in beneficial results as
the thorough and persistent cleansing
of the mouth aud teeth. 1t means less
susceptibility To disease. it. means
fewer doctor bills, and fewer dental
bills. II means more comfort and less
pain, more joy aud less sorrow, more
attractivcncss aud greater sclf-rcsp"ct.
more Of the rus"-tiut of health aud
less of the wanurss of disease II
minds. 1t is said in the bible that
cleanliness is next to SodlnCss. Aud
it certainly is one of the dominant
forces in the product of sturdy, stcri-
ing manhood and wumauhood.

although it must certainly have been
known long before their time. Ger
tain authors think that the idea of the
screw comes from observation OF
natural object Of helical form. such as

thinks that IL arises from forms in
movement. For instance. when an edi-
bile snail is drawn out of it's shell we
have the idea of screw aud nut I'm
fortunately the ancient records throw
scarcely any light on the subject. The
principle Of the screw seems To have
been but little used until the middle

There are a number of important
points in the care of children's teeth
which all parents should know; but Of
which, unfortunately. many parents
have little or no knowledge whatever.
There are also u number of erroneous
ideas prevalent among parents which
are much worse than frank Ignorance.
Parents are invariably disposed to do
what is best for the welfare of the
child, and unguided by false theories,
would seek competent advice and thus
avoid irreparablc wrong which might

principles are easily comprehcnded.
there is no reason why parents should

That one word cleanliness" almost

SCHOOL VENTILATION

The last number OF the United
States Public Health Reports reviews
an important sanitary paper read for
the American Medical Chemical So
ciety at It's annual meeting early this
month. After a careful study OF the
ventilation of the schools of New York
city it was declared that nothing was
found which would warrant the rec
concentration of the installation Of the
very costly mechanical ventilating
system in the public schools of that
city.
The results of the investigation in
dicate that the question OF ventilation
is almost entirely one OF proper con-
troll Of temperature and humidity and
therefore almost entirely janitorial
problem.
Common serSc and the free admis-
sion # outdoor air under rational con-
diuons are the only safeguards for
health in ventilation. No elaborate
systems Of artificial ventilation can
replace the need for the exercise OF
propcr personal precautions accord
ing to weather changes.
