What ruins teeth

Teeth are ruined by film. You
can feel it--that viseous coat. 1t
clings to teeth, gets between the
teeth and stays. And most tooth
troubles are now traced to it.
II IL this film coat that discolors
mot the teeth. Film is the basis
of tartar. 1t holds food substance
which ferments and forms acid. It
holds the acid In contact with the
teeth to cause decay.
The Washington times., 1920-10-10

Dental science has in late Desrs
found a way to fight film, day By
day. High authorities have proved
il by many careful tests.
Millions OF people have adopted
IL, largely by dental advice. n To
careful people il IL bringing new
era In teeth cleaning.
These new methods are all em-
bodied in a dentifrice called Pep
sodent. And you are urged to prove
il by a pleasant ten-day test.

as spurs and motives to progress.
The Importance of the teachers part
and the character of the teachers

mined, Miss Marsden said. by the fact
that writing is so largely an artln-

an instructive activity The teacher,
she declared, should know clearly not
merely what kind of written charac-
! tiers she wishes the child to produce,
but also the constitution of the move

The correct movement, in her opln :
ion, will not develop itself automat-

know, furthermore" she concluded
mot merely how these factors are as
ISOLATED in adult writing, but also
how they become associated in the

ID. PUPILS SHOW
| GOOD PENMANSH|P
Miss NJ. Marsden, Director,
Declares Clark System
Is Responsible.

Marked improvement in the penman-
ship OF District public school children
was shown last year. in the opinion of
Miss M. F. Marsden, director of pen
which has been followed in the Wash
ington public schools for the last three
years, the penmanship director stated
today, is one of the salient reasons for
the distinct progress made by children
in. all the grades of the elementary
schools.
Zach year under the Clark system OF
penmanship,'' said Miss Marsden, "a
noticeably better writing is being pro-
duced, and this year has seen a greater
Improvement than that of the two pre-
ceding years.
Many Facts Contribute.
A number of facts have contributed to
this result:
First-A gradual formation of the
habit of a real writing movement,
swinging the arm and gliding the hand
across the page from left to right. Il
and consequently better taught.
Second-A systematic development of
the letter forms with development drills.
Third--Application of work taught
during the writing lessons of all other
written work.
Fourth-Intelligent use of the meas
uring scale which was furnished las,
| year.
Fifth-Regrading of writing books.
SiXth-Completion of the cycle work
from the first grade through the eighth
grade; and
Seventh-A better understanding and
broader vision of the subject by many
Of the teachers.
Work Shows Growth.
The work of the elementary grades.
Miss Marsden said, has shown par
ticular growth. In her opinion this
is logical and natural development.
In the primary grades much stress
rect writing habits in all written
work. "As the twig is bent so the
tree is inclined" declared the pen
manship director. "1n writing, as in
all other lines of work, the primary
teacher holds the strategic position.
her to assume the responsibility placed
upon her by giving the primary child
the right start by intoxicating the best
of habits.
I'm connection with the physical
training department., particular stress
is placed upon correct posture. The
concern of the teacher is not con-
fined to the hand movement and the
expression of meanings by them.
Writing also involves adjustments of
other parts of the body.
I'm this phase of the work it has
posture is that about which the child
may deviate in several directions, but
from which he should not deviate per-
manently in any direction. In all
grades emphasis is placed on correct
position involving ease Of execution
and conservation of time and energy
and on correct formation involving
neatness and legibility and the con-
servation Of the time of the reader"
Intelligent use OF the writing scale,
Miss Marsdeh pointed out. has done
much to improve results. 'In order to
efficient as possible, not merely the
mental development which is involved
in learning the subject and the meth
DDS of teaching which are best should
be known" she said. but it should
also be definitely known what re-
suits should be attained and how
these results may be measured.
