immediate attention in 25 per cent of the children, indicating the need of . follow-up program. Defective teeth were found in 7O2 children, and approximately 70 per cent of the Sixth-year molars were found defective.
 Early Connection
 The educational program is not confined solely to care of the oral cavity, Dr. Erlenbach said. but inc cludes demonstration of the rela- tionship between proper diet, sun- shine, play, rest and fresh air and the formation and maintenance of strong bodies and healthy teeth free from cavietes. The individual irl- struction in the mechanics of keep ing the nouth-teeth, gums and tongue-clean and healthy, and the prophylaves, along with the chart ing of defective teeth, constitute added features designed to stimu- late early correction of existing de- fleets. Excellent response and coop eration has been shown by boards OI eOuCHtIUu, oCLlOOl OupSKVIoOIo Atl0 principals, teachers, school nurses, and by children and parents. A total of 283 educational talks were given. These included class room talks. group talks and individ- ual instruction and consultation with the parents at the chair. These four principles were stressed: drink plenty of milk and eat fresh fruits and vegetables for strong, healthy teeth: brush the teeth at least twice day; get plenty of rest, sleep and fresh air; see the dentist at least twice a year.
 The results, according to Dr.. Erlenbach, show conclusively that better instruction both for adults and children in the presentation of follow-up programs to see that rem- dental defects as well as rigorous edial work is done early is essential to any improvement of the general mouth condition in a community.

poisoning.
Members of the committee on
public health education advise
this years picnickers, tourists and
everybody else who gets off the
pavements in the summer time to
brush up on their botany first and
identify the three-leaved plant
that is capable of causing so much
discomfort.
The plant is distinctive with its
three leaves growing each from
a single stalk and once learned is
never forgotten.
If you have the misfortune to
rub against it anyway, the doctors
counsel the following procedure:
Wash the part that touched it
thoroughly and Immediately with
good strong soap and water. The
poisoning come from the oil that
covers the surface of the plant
and the best way to get rid of oil
is to wash quickly with soap and
water. Care should be taken, of
course, not to injure the skin and
thus rub the oil in, instead of re-
moving it. An application of gaso-
line after the washing has been
found effective to ward off in
