ton in urging the public to give more

that fact, several Leading members of
the profession today declared it will
be only a few years until the Kansas
legislature will pass a law providing
compulsory dental eXa mination for pu-
pills in public schools. Such a law is
now in successful operation is several
other states AS a result the number
of students failing in their studies has
been decreased materially and the
children enjoy better health generally
The convention swung off this
morning promptly at s o'clock with

office being opened for registration.
More than 500 dentists, the largest
number that has ever reported for the
