DR.. CHARLES r. TURNER
On Advance of Dental Science

A DNANCE requirements for the study Of
"A dentistry are more rigorous than ever.
DR.. Charles r. Turner, dean Of the Dental
School at the University of Pennsylvania,
said today.
Dean Turner discussed approvingly n
statement made by DR.. Eugene II. Smith,
dean of the Harvard Dental School that We
are on the eve of an advance in scientific
dentistry such as has been taking place in
medicine.
DR.. Smith asserted his faith in new era
of progress in dental science which will eA-
plain in exact terms the cause Of tooth de-
cay. and devise means Of prevention which
will be on a par with the skill of the modern
dentist in remedial measures.
"It is Important Dean Turner said. "for
the public to know that dental school courses
are Of such n nature rs to require better
preparatory training on the part of students
today than heretofore.
"Thr Dental FarulticS Association Of
American Universities. which includes TIar-
ward. Tufts. Pennsylvania Ohio State,
Washington University in st. Louis. decided
in 1917 10 institute Il year Of college work
as requirement for admission to the dental
course.
"ThiS was brought about by recognition
of the fact that the present status of the
dental curriculum was such that the high
school graduate was not sufficiently well
trained nor sufficiently mature to success
fully compass the dental course.
"All dental schools have been teaching
physics. chemistry and biology in their first
year. because they realized that these
fundamental sciences were necessary for n
proper comprehension Of present day den
tistry.
'"Thc requirement Of these sciences in a
prudential year relieves the dental curriculum
of such preliminary subjects, and enables the
dental student to begin ut once the study Of
his profession.

value of work in the college Of liberal arts

PARTISAN RESPONSIBILITIES

ANY democracy apathy of the minority
L party IS Il distinct index of serious polit-
iraI decay.
The only American President who ever
profoundly mistrusted the general principle
OF partisanship in republic was the first
of the line. And before his exit from Of
nee even Washington was fervently Fed
eralist, convinced that the faction in which
events had placed him was alone capable Of
guiding the national destinies.
Such devoted simplicity Of belief can be
called narrow. From the standpoint of
abstract logic It is perhaps indefensible.
But republics are not conducted on a basis
OF SyIlogisms. Like the drama, democrncies
are apt TO wither without a sturdy conflict
OF wills. and it is a demonstrable fact the
claSh OF evenly balanced parties Is a potent
safeguard against abuse of the powers of
representative government.
FOR this reason, and entirely apart from
the merits or dCmerts of the policies which
the two great parties indorSc there is a
sign OF returning political health in the
news OF change in the craftsmanship of the
Democratic National Committoc
