ROTARIANS TREATED TO EXCELLENI
ADDRESS AT RECENT MEETING

Maj. Harry Butler of the United
States Public Health Service, who is
now making a survey of oral hygiene
among children of the public schools
in the city, was a guest Tuesday at
the regular weekly luncheon of the
0cala Rotary Club. Major Butler made
a most interesting and instructive adj
dress on the Importance Of oral hy-
giene as a means to disease preven-
tion, saying that the public schools
should be operated on a business
basis and comparing the schools to a
stock company in which the citizens
and community are interested stock
holders He urged that the citizens.
and members of the Rotary Club in
particular, take the same interest in
the schools that they would in any
other institution in which they make
investment.
"The United States Public Health
Service, has found that there is a very
definite relationship between the
condition of the mouth of the child
and the efficiency of the child as a
student said DR.. Butler. 1T never
fails to be true that the child with a
poor mouth condition is also poor in
school work"
Maj. Butler stated that a reduc-
ton of the ineffeciency of the student
reduces the cost Of operating the
schools, and he called attention es-
pecially to the number of children who
are each year repeating grades due to
their poor work. He stated that in
Bridgeport, Conn, d campaign Of oral
hygene had reduced the retardation
of the children in the schools of that
city 80 per cent. thus gretly benefitting
the children and at the same time re-
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1921-12-16

ducing the cost of operating the
schools.
"The mouth is the gate way by
which the great majority Of diseases
enter the system. said Maj Butler.
The officer stated that the introduc-
ton of physical training at the high
school in Ocala was splendid thing.
He stated, however, that while the
physical training built up the bodies
of the children, and gave the children
greater power of resistance to disease,
it was more important that the germs
which cause the disease should be at
tackled from the front. He stated that
the mouth is the first line trench OF
the germs which enter the system
and that the attack should be made on
this first line trench, and at the same
time that support should be given this
attack by the development resulting
from physical training. He advocated
the Introduction In the schools of
tooth brush drill. The Major said that
the drill sounded foolish but that it
was of great Importance in instruct
ing children how to use the tooth
brush properly and in forming habit
of using tooth brush. In Cleveland,
he stated that tooth brush drills were
conducted to the accompaniment of
music.
Mr.. Roger Dodd was present at the
luncheon as the guest of Rotarian
Fred Hooker. State Attorney j. w.
Scofield was the guest of Rotarian
Louis Pillans. Mr.. Scofield made a
brief address which was appreciated.
The luncheon was served by the
members of the woman's Club and
was much enjoyed.

NAVAL RATIO QUESTION

Washington, Dec. 15.-Agreement

Japan and Great Britain.
Mr. Balfour, on leaving the con-
ference, said:
Conversations are through" He
would not elaborate on the state
ment and Secretary Hughes and
Admiral Kato refused to make a
statement.
The British delegates were repre-
sented as indignant at the suggestion
that they have been opposing the
Japanese request for the retention of
the Mutsu and an increase of tom
mage for the reason that the British
did not wish to build more ships. The
spokesman for the committee on
naval ratio said SO far as Great Brit
ain was involved with fortifications in
the Pacific they should remain status
quo.

Defeated at Murdock

The Willmar High School lost to
Murdock last Friday evening in a
somewhat ragged basketball game,
showing Willmar entirely off form.
The score at the close of the game
was 20 to Is in Murdock's favor. The
Willmar boys did not appear to get
their stride at any time during the
game and only an occasional basket
kept the game from being greater
bore than it was. Innumerable at
tempts were made to connect but lack
of accurate craftsmanship was the
chief drawback. Grace injured his
ankle during the middle of the game
while Sandin was ruled out on fouls.
The loss of these men crippled the
team and only caused the work of the
team to slump more and more. The
game was a listless one with the To-
calls appearing Indifferent at times and
displaying no ambition to fight and
win. This attitude was a result no
doubt of the severe game with Han
cock the evening before which left
the boys in no fit shape to take on the
strong Murdock team and on their
floor. AS this is no district game Will
mar is still undefeated in the basket
ball territory.
