Naylor fired the first shot In the factional war which Is to be fought to a finish at the three-days' conven tion of the New Jersey State Dental Society. -. "I know this Is to be the greatest meeting In the history%t our organisa tion,” said the president. "But the future of the society, I am persuaded, lies In quite a radical change In our or ganic law." A wild contest for the floor followed the conclusion of the president's ad dress. A motion was made that his recommendations be considered at once. This was followed by the "alf guard's" motion that the matter, being of so much moment, should be delayed until after a committee had con sidered the president's suggestions. President Naylor made himself heard with great difficulty. Asks for Fair Ileel. "Fairness—fairness, 1b what I ask for, gentlemen!” "Who has made any reference to unfairness?” was the hot retort from another dentist. The “old guard" rallied and defeated the motion for an Immediate culmina tion of the light. Acting President W. W. Hawke, of Flemlngton, vice-president of the so ciety, who is himself a member of the "old guard," appointed a committee of live to consider the president’s recom mendations regarding reorganization, marking the first material victory for his side. That the Btrugglo between the con servatives and the progressives, who wish for a complete reorganization of the society, will be better, seems cer tain. The faction, headed by President Naylor, of Somerville, say they are pre pared to show that new blood in the so ciety will mean a better society and a bigger one. ! The "old guard,” headed by Dr. Charles A. Meeker, of Newark, who has been secretary for many years, say the younger element are merely trying to oust a man who has devoted years of his life to the society. President Naylor mentioned the pass ing of a law by the Legislature permit ting cities to add to their annual tax budget an appropriation for dental clin ics. He suggested that means bo adopted by the society to advance the work of educating the public to the care of the mouth and teeth through public lectures and the streopticon. He advised the teaching of the physi ology, pathology and therapeutics of the teeth and mouth in all schools, and said that the college course In dentistry ought to be Increased to four years. He also suggested lowering the Initia tion fees. Fiends tor Changes. "The complexity of modern or pres ent conditions and our professional needs,” he said, "are becoming so great that In the words of one of our late scholars, “It la a condition, not a theory, we must meet.’ Let us, there fore, be thoroughly democratic In our Ideas and apportionment of respon sibility In our State organization." That Dr. Meeker Is considered an anachronism by the "rebels" and that an effort will be made to oust him Is the general Impression. Dr. Naylor and his associates say that they wish to be rid of the "one man power" in the associaticn an*l wish to run It according to the con stitution. Dr. Naylor said that when he became president he made up his mind to take the reins In his hand and steer things straight. He, there fore, insisted that the bills be audited properly and other things in '.he sec retary's province be changed. Dr, Naylor Slighted. Dr. Naylor also objects to the man ner In which he was slighted by Dr. Meeker, who made up the annual pro
