Then, tov, despite the fact that the population of the city showed a de- crease durigg the year, the schol population fas increased by eleven pupils, Cc ate on Younger Children Special attention was paid by the dentists during the summer to the primary grade pupils and pre-school age children, Surveys were made of the dental work required. A further survey was made of the younger children in the schools in Septem: ber, Dr, Phillips taking St, Gregory's and Centre Street, Dr, Cook taking North Simeoe and Riteon Road; Dr, James, Mary street and King street; Dr, Hubbell, Albert Street, Ceglardale and Centre street kindergarten, and Dr, Langmaid, South Simcoe. A total time, A total of 86 children, or about 14 per cent, were found to have perfect teeth, Of the balance, 390 had their six-year molars in good 'condition, with 72 having all their permanent teeth ok, and 304 with their tempo. rary teeth in satiskactory condition Prevalence of Caries The marked prevalence of caries, or decayed teeth, is commented upon in the report. This was noticed in temporary teeth of 454 pupils, and permanent teeth of 73. This was no- ticeable more among native-born Canadians than immigrants, and js thought to be due to improper and unbalanced diet, Little permanent advance could be made Ne simply treating the teeth of individual ehils dren, says the report, which pro- ceeds: "T'o he of best value and to obtain positive results, it was felt there must be a persistent and determined health work effort made on pres school age children, This was & vi tal necessity. The opinion was ex pressed that, above all else, persist. ent teaching and education of mos thers and potential mothers in the value of those proper kinds of foods and diets suitable 4 pre-natal, post. natal, infant, and the younger child feeding, was the fundamental necess sity, It was felt that until such an educational effort was being delib. erately made and efficiently carried out no really important general res sults could be obtained, Such edu cation should also' be extended in class lessons to all school-guing children" Treatments Given During the year, 337 half days were given by the dentists to the public health work, and 2437 pupils were treated, Extractions of temporary teeth head the list of treatments, 1,- 02 being the total, There were 252 permanent teeth extracted, The dens tists inserted 1,124 amalgam fillings, 333 cement fillings, 280 porcelain fillings, 117 gutta percha fillings, gave 271 treatments, 05 cavity linings, 70 abscess treatments, 3 root fillings, 86 silver nitrate treatments, 6 devitali- zations, and administered 1467 local anaesthetics and 8 general anaes | Rodgers 73, Gladys Sugden 66, Lu. theties, ' ' - MACKINAW COATS $4.95 | JOHNSTON'S See Our Windows 55,6, Ross Winter 54.3, Bertha Hult! 600 and $1 at alt drugpiets In conclusion ,the dentists coms mented: "Parents are at last realizing the menace to health which exists in a mouth with a number of carious teeth or associated inflammatory con- ditions of the gums, They are only too glad to have these conditions drawn to their attention and to help in every way toward the elimination of the same, "The children seemed to have ace cepted an idea that the Dental Surs bo 4 and treatment program {s very definitely a part of school routine and discipline, as well as being an obligats ed duty on all scholars JUDGE JARRETT'S REPORT The Editor, Oshawa Daily Times, Sip,=<'"Poor conditions in the home, immoral atmosphere, indif- ference on the part of parents to God and to the Church, are among tha ohiet causes of juvenile delin- quency which are enumerated by Rovenend My, Jarrett, He aleo strongly condemns the practice of allowing children to run abroad on the streets at night, He ems phasized the bad ot choap, trashy literature in magazines and newspapers and the lurid pletures which are sometimes shown in motion picture houses." The above sentences are taken from your account of the Annual Report of the Juvenile Court, pubs lished in last Saturday's edition. They are worthy of study not Les cause they contain any new truths but hecause they reiterate, with emphasis, what thoughtful men have long been declaring from plat. form and pulpit, often, with scant sympathy from thelr hearers, Their significance lies in the fact that they are set down as among the chief caures of JUVEN.
