I'm Washington it is proposed TO operate in
the public school clinic only those children
whose parents are unable to meet the expense
of the work. Children of parents who are able
to pay for the work will be given a card, de-
scribing the nature of the work which is neces-
sary to be done, for presentation to their par
ents, and the school authorities will urge upon
the parents the importance of having this nee
essary work done. No attempt will be made at
the present to bring any pressure to bear upon
the parents, by excluding their children from
the school or otherwise. 1t is evident, how
ever that the full value of the dental clinic in
a case of this kind will not be secured until
some method is devised to bring pressure to
bear upon the parents in order that the dental
work necessary may be done
The main way to secure good teeth, DR..
Wiley maintains, is to give a young child diet
sufficiently rich in tooth building elements, such
as clean, wholesome milk and cereals which
have not been denatured. The foods to be
avoided are starch, sugar, candy and hulled
rice 1t is common idea, which he believed to
be correct one that the eating of sugar candy
is bad for the teeth. and his own experience
for sweet things.
81 believe we will come pretty close to
striking the heart of the trouble" said DR..
Wiley, when, through investigation and study,
we come to the conclusion that the child's food
is the dominant factor in the character of his
teeth. In thus emphasizing this important
fundamental principle l do not in the least in
tend to minimize the Importance of caring for
the teeth once they are formed. The child
who has hard, sound regular teeth needs to
be taught the principles of proper care. This
means, of course, in the first place, the proper
functioning of the teeth. There must be an
abundance of chewing of the right kind and
it must be we'll done. The tooth is no different
from any other organ in the body To be in
prime condition it must be properly exercised
In order that it may be kept from the ravages

children. He has found that OF the permanent
teeth, 984 have been lost. He has found
total of 81 $40 teeth that needed systematic
cleaning and 6,056 that were so far decayed
that they needed extracting. Of the total num-
Der of children examined, 9O7l had cavities in
their teeth and 468 had assesses at the roots
Of the teeth. A number of children whose
mouths had been examined by the dental in
spector were present for the clinic on the date
mentioned. One need only look into these
neglected mouths and note the ravages OF dis
ease and the lack of attention and cleanliness
to understand the urgent necessity Of work OF
this kind"
The work of conservation should not begin
in the schools, DR.. Wiley declares, but long be-
fore the child is old enough to enter there. To
do the most good, such campaign should be
instituted many years before the child's birth.
For the production of good set Of permanent
teeth it is important, he says, that the tenn
porary teeth should be solid and enduring.
When this is not the case the permanent teeth
are likely to be irregular and deformed De
cay in the first teeth that is not attended 10 is
likely to defect the direction of the permanent
teeth and subject them to infection from con-
tact with the decayed temporary teeth. Who
ever fails to acquire good teeth in childhood
will never have any, as the mature molars do
not amount TO much.
Progressive measures have been started
On the twenty-third of November it was my
good fortune to attend the first dental clinic
ever held in the City of Washington" said DR..
Wiley Fifty of the progressive dentists of
that city have made an agreement to give two
hours OF their time each month TO a public
school clinic and the Board of Education has
set aside small room in the Pierce school
building for the installation Of the operating
room. Gifts of dental chairs and apparatus
have been made by dentists and others, so
that the room is now equipped with small
but effective set of apparatus suitable for elm
ical work on children.

SOUND TEETH RAMPANT AGAINST DISEASE, WILEY

bia University will be speedily followed by
other institutions of learning throughout the
land.
instructions of this kind will prove more
effective than the teachings in the dental
schools for professional students. II is kind
of instruction which will filter out through the
newspapers and magazines and from the public
schools and the pulpits of the country into the
homes of all our people"
The danger of failure to care for the teeth
in proper manner was dwelt upon at length
by him. A decaying tooth is always menace
he says, particularly when the decaying process
reaches below the gum.
CELEBRATIONS, Riggs disease and other infee-
tons of the roots of the teeth are difficult OF
access and treatment" said DR.. Wiley and
for this reason are always to be regarded as
a dangerous condition. Aside from the pain
and suffering which these diseases of the teeth
produce we must not forget the possibility OF
direct infection. So-called blood poisoning and
death have been frequent sequels of diseased
teeth. Some forms OF inhammatory rheumatism
are thought to be caused by the infection OF
pyorrhea, and in general the health is in
jured in proportion as the teeth are affected
In the second place, defective teeth are
defect by reason of impairment OF masticauon
and consequently of digestion. There is no
difference of opinion concerning the value OF
good teeth, properly used in the preparation OF
food for the digestive processes. While the
vigorous stomach may attack particles OF iood
of considerable size and resistance, the proc
ess OF digestion is naturally slowed up IN pro
portion to the magnitude and frmness OF the
unground particles. In addition to this, the
admixture of healthy saliva to the food during
the process of mastication is of no little con-
sequence, especially in the digestion of starch
Thus defective teeth not only injuTe by reason
of imperfect mastication, but likewise by reason
of failure to incorporate the saliva properly
with the finely divided particles Of the food
while il is still in the mouth"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-12-27

Of decay it must be kept clean. Eternal
vigilance is the price of good teeth"
A campaign for sound teeth among the chill
dren would result, he believes, in a higher
standard of health throughout the country.
"Afer the age of childhood" said DR.. Wiley
the care of the teeth, while not so important,
is no less desirable. 1t is not at all uncommon
at the present time to see men and women OF
middle age with false teeth or none at all This,
of course, means simply improper development
of the teeth in the first place, or carelessness
in their use in the second place. l do not
know of any reason why the teeth should not
last as long as the eye or the or any other
organ of the body. While am aware that age
lessons the usefulness Of all the organs of the
body, am an advocate of that course of life
which would keep all of the organs in syn
chronic usefulness or in synchronic decay. My
ideal of life is set forth in that wonderful poem
of Dr. Holmes (Which most people think is
only bit of fun, and yet it is the expression
of the most salutary philosophy, namely, the
story of the One Horse Shay.
Il take it for granted that no one will doubt
that the greatest of human blessings is health.
We all approve the efforts which are being
made everywhere to exclude the causes of dis
ease, especially the causes of contagious and
infectious diseases. To this end we establish
guarantees, we destroy foc of infection and
we arm the individual With an additional re-
sstance by means of antseptics and dsin-
fectants. We teach in our schools and colleges
the principles of sanitation. 1t is matter Of
qualification that the principles as well as the
practice, OF the sanitation of the mouth are
not to be neglected In one great institution
of learning in this country there has been es-
tablished a department of mouth hygiene, I'M
der the supervision of DR.. William ]. Gies, who
has already done special service in studying

stitutions have departments of sanitation, hy-
giene and public health. 1 feel quite certain

"HE danger of neglected teeth is great
er than that of smallpox. This state
ment was made by DR.. H. W. Wiley,
president of the National Mouth
Hygiene Association, in an address that he
recently delivered at Jacksonville, Fla. DR..
Wiley said also that hundreds of school chill
dren in Washington had never seen a tooth
brush. 1t was almost incredible, he added, that
such Grass indifference, threatening the very
foundations of the general health Of society,
should prevail in our large cities-Washing
ton, in all probability, being typical of condi-
tons that exist in many of the cities through
out the United States.
I'VE now have a provision in our public
schools which excludes unvaccinated children
said DR.. Wiley. This is a wise precsution to
prevent the introduction of smallpox into the
public schools. When it is remembered, how
ever, that bad mouths decaying teeth and
neglected gums are doing far greater damage
to the people of the City of Washington than
smallpox, we may we'll ask why we are so
careful in regard to the lesser damage and so
negligent in the face of the greater. AS l
looked into the faces of these poorly nourished
children, who, even if they had good food,
would be unable to assmilate it properly, l
was impressed with the magnitude of the work
and the great underlying principles of human
ity and philanthropy TO which it owes its in
cepton and to which it looks for support 1t
will evidently be some time before the school
authorities of Washington are able to secure
from Congress the necessary authority and ia
cilities thoroughly to renovate the mouths OF
the school children of the city"
For some time the City Of Washington has
instituted partial dental inspection of the chill
dren in the public schools. From the dental
Inspector have obtained the following data:
During the two years in which he has been
engaged in dental inspection he has examined
lO,23O of the school children of the city be-
tween the ages of six and sixteen years. He
has found 32,3O7 cavities in the teeth OF these
