Health OF Teeth
Is Big Factor
In Child's Progress
DR.. Leonard, State Department
Of Health, Emphasizes I'm
pOrtance OF Care OF Teeth

'The majority of grown-ups have
learned from personal experience that
there is a close connection between
healthy teeth and good health gen
orally, but comparatively few parents
realize that this is just as true Of
children as it is of adults" DIR. Rich.
ard C. Leonard, Chief of the Division
of Oral Hygiene, of the Maryland
State Department of Health, said re-
Gently, in emphasizing the Importance
of regular dental supervision for
children, as well as for adults.
"The ease with which children do
their work in school, and the pro-
gress they make in their grades" he
continued, depend very largely upon
their general health. A healthy mouth
and sound, well cared for teeth, are
much more important factors in the
general health of the child than is
usually understood.
"Three things are necessary to
maintain mouth health for old and
young, alike. First, a well-balanced
diet-including milk, bread and but
ter, other dairy products, green leafy
vegetables, whole grain cereals, and
fresh fruits-which supplies the build
ing material for strong healthy teeth.
Second, care in keeping the mouth
clean. Third, regular dental super
vision, so that defects that occur may
be detected while in the early stages,
and corrected before they do serious
damage.
bad teeth do not always ache,
even when abscessed, but they can do
a great deal of damage throughout
the entire system. Children-even
very young ones, are as likely to
have abscessed teeth, as are grown
ups, and they are as susceptible as
grown-ups to the illnesses produced
by such infections.
"Decayed teeth in children, espec-
tally their first teeth, are apt to be
overlooked and neglected. But did you
ever have the tooth ache? Do you re-
member how you suffered? Did you
feel equal to doing hard mental work
A child with an aching tooth is really
a sick child-and it is not surprising
when children with neglected teeth
fail in their studies.
Parents who are anxious for their
children to get along happily in
school and to make good progress in
their studies are learning that one
of the best ways for them to do it is
to watch the general health of the
children.
"The best way to safeguard mouth
health, is through periodical inspec-
tons and the necessary corrections by
the family dentist. It is a good thing
to have inspections of this sort made
at the beginning of the school year.
An ounce of care of this sort will
prevent discomfort and suffering lat
er on. 1t will also be help so far as
the general health of the child is con-
cerned."

H. G. Wells dream of a world with

earth's surface is still far from realiza-

for the murder of her husband. The

Amherst, Nova Scotia, witnessed the
other day the first double execution in
the history of the province. Two nine
teen-year-old boys were hanged for
numbering an aged woman invalid and

The cold brutality that made the
hideous crime possible accounts also
for the callous deaths.

Sir Arthur Eddington, great British

Only q deep astronomer can under
stand how one grain of sand in the uni
verse can be older than the universe.
The late Lord Kelvin said the age
limit of the sun and earth could not be
above fifty million years. The high
school child laughs at that estimate
now and Eddington admits that future
generations may laugh at mis- estimate.
The universe is constantly expanding,
according to Eddington, and II you
deny that, you wreck the relatively
theory and knock the bottom out Of
