".-'V- i.T &rr!; Ji '1'-. - . THE ROCK ISLAXD ARGUS. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1911. IB , 1 1 .3 CARE OF THE TEETH fectiool authorities ere greatly Inter ested in various plans lor improve ment in the minds of back-ward pupils by improving the condition or their bodies. Now they have become Im bued with the iCcs. that cJecn n-GJtliS mean healthy pupils, and the exam ination of the te?th of school chil dren is the latest thing under consideration. I ents as a rale are entirely ignorant on tie scfcject. It vould seeai that this must be looked up in our public schools. "We are supposed to have medical inspection in the schools, which i6 all good as far as It goes, but it is not broad enough. It does ret take in the teeth, at least the ex aminer commonly ignores that part of it: yet any physician knows the Investigation In Germany shows i jreat importance that mastication that nearly SO rver cent of the sohool children have diseased teth and sta tistics show conclusively thai: 1. On account of had teeth the physical development of the child 13 seriously retarded. 2. The more the physical develop ment is disturbed, the lets in general Is the mental capacity of the child. 3. The worse the teeth, the worse, as a rule. Is the school standing. Abont 500 pupils in the schools of Ludlow, Mass., were recently exam ined and the condition of the teeth and mouth found most deplorab'e. The most striking feature observed was the neglect of dental cleanliness and absence cf any evidence of den tal treatment beyond a few instances In which teeth had been extracted. Probably not more than three out of one hundred possessed brushes, and showed signs of using them regularly, and these three were practically free from decay. Bacterial deposits, tar tar, remains of food end every de gree of maJodorousness and poisoning were evident. Many children were suffering from tmdoe retention of temporary teeth, but still more from the premature loes of them, showing the utter neg lect by tie parents of the first set of teeth, which from a dentist's stAid point 1b most Important. The first permanent molar was In variably badly decayed. Probably 50 per cent, would have to be treated or extracted. This molar is very confus ing to parents and children, as It comes before the temporary teeth are shed and Is therefore taken for one of the first set. and neglected from ig norance. It Is evident from this Inspection that something most be done. First of all. the public must be convinced that such a movement Is for the pub lic welfare. The disastrous aesults from a lack of knowldge on the subject of oral hygiene are seen on every hand. Suf fering humanity need6 more thought upon the subject and needs It badly, because out future health and happi ness to a great extent derend upon it. How can we beet accomplish a den tal education among the masses of the people? Dentists cannot get at the masses of children growing up around ua to teach them, and the par- city. The meeting conducted routine business and in. addition listened to C.

A feature of the conference was the report submitted by the Bock Island delegation which announced that its , entire apportionment for missions, $1.- 300 in alL had been raised. Trinity parish is the first In the district to raise its apportionment. The next session of the synod will be held in Rock Island. Six Weeks to Christmas every school. In some of the rains of Egypt are eneravings representing a man lying on his back, while another is standing over him pounding out a tooth with a rock. This is primitive dentistry, and while It might seem to be severe, yet, no doubt, it brought a measure of relief, otherwise such extreme measures would not have been resort ed to. In China, It Is said, when a man goes to the native dentist for relief from the toothache, it is the usual procedure for the dentist to insert his finger in the patient's mouth, and, on removing it, sfco-y him a worm which he says he has withdrawn from the tooth, ard which was caus ing the ache. This procedure, so we are told, usually stops the ache. These primitive methods are a far cry from the scientific attitude of the profession today, yet most of the im provement has been brought about In the last 100 years. The causes of this rapid develop ment have been many, the rapid growth of knowledge in other lines of work, the formation of dental col leges, the invention and manufacture of useful Instruments, and the scien tific study of the mouth and its dis eases. There Is one other thing which has brought about this marvelous growth, which is perhaps more important than all the other causes combined, and that Is the professional spirit, or dental ethics, as It is Eometimes called. It used to be the thing, if a den- t ' - I II. 1 V 'I 11 .11','" ' ' V- 1U ' - , 1 'J l-IVI 1. ,V from his brother dentist so that he I Get lOUf FreSSat While the might reap the benefit alone. Many a secret, or invention, has died with the dentist originating it. In time this custom was changed, and then the profession began to progress by leaps and bounds. Nowadays, if a dentist discovers anything new that is good, he carries It to his society and explains it to every one, so that all may get the benefit. He goes to the convention with one new idea and brines back a hundred, and both he and he public are benefited.
