DENTIST ACTS As TEACHER
DIR. Bragg Explains Care OF Teeth to
Elementary School Pupils.

Fun at the dentists, That is what
the third grade of the University Ele-
mentary School had when Miss Ruth
Fitzgerald took them on an inspection
trip to the office of DR.. II. l. Bragg yes
terday.
This class is now "on teeth" their
composition, number, differences in
permanent and temporary sets and in
their shape, size and use; their decay
and treatment and the general care OF
teeth.
At Doctor Bragg's Office they were
shown the Instruments, the different
kinds of filings. the method of making
artificial teeth and plaster casts.
DR.. ]. l.. Merriam has received a let
ter from a teacher taking a course by
correspondence who has had her third
grade class on a similar trip. On this
trip a student offered himself as VIC
tim and had tooth pulled. Another
ones teeth were cleaned while the
class looked on. Another had plas-
ter cast made of his mouth for a per-
manent exhibit at the school.
THAT hour" says the teacher, was
worth more TO them than a week of
study"

Y. W. c. A. SOLICITORS ARE BUSY
Snow and Ice Braved by Girls Seeking
to Raise Needed Funds.

Snow and ice are not lessening the
ardor of the University Y. w. c. A.
members in their campaign for funds.
The solicitors were busy yesterday
and today, but the amount that has
been collected will not be known until
Friday. Subscriptions range from %
cents to SO. Mrs. Turner McBaine
has given the use of her automobile
for the northern and western parts of
the town, but the rest of the canvass
has been made on foot
The total expense of the Y. W. c.
A. from February, 1915. to February
1916. was $1,221.52. These are the
items: employment, $151.75; social,
SSS31; missionary, $50; extension,
1884; membership, $3.50; Campfire,
$3.50; advertising, 50; secretary's sal
airy, $500; supervisory, $S5; confer
ence, sec; telephone, $39.46; office,
$1O.15; Miscellaneous, s29.46; finance
committee, S7.25.
The sources from which the organi-
zation derives its funds are member
ship dues, young peoples societies in
town, the University, which pays for
the employment bureau, a self-perpet-
uating loan fund, the senior girls, who
pledge small sums before leaving, and
subscriptions.
Until last year, the association pro-
cured its subscriptions from profess
sors only, the remainder of the budget
being raised by various entertainments
for which the girls sold tickets
Mrs. f. r. James is director of the
finance campaign.

As the result OF meetings Yesterday
between representatives of the com

the contention of the Amster faction
that only $4,000 900, or the amount
that would bo raised by the lower as
sessment, Is needed TO rehsbilitate
the property and those who believe
that a larger amount is necessary.
