mouths inspected, dental defects
noted and information on them
sent to their parents. Ten thou
sand children had dental corrections
made and at the present time, un-
doubtedly the mouths of these chill
dren are in better condition than
ever before.
It is obvious that children suffer-
ing from toothache or other dental
discomfort cannot concentrate prop
erly on their lessons, thereby losing
a certain amount of efficiency in
their school work, and those of us
who had a part in this great project
feel well repaid by the results OBJ
tanned.
However, there Is still a great need
for similar projects in the junior and
senior high schools and it was hoped
that the resources at the command
Of the participating groups could be
extended to include these children
this year. So far this has not been
possible, but the project has not
been entirely abandoned and q
workable plan may be available next
year.
