100% Mouths at Examinations 86 109


It pleases us also to find that in one of our sixth grades at the Cornish School 70% of dental defects were correct- ed by June, 1941 and that in one fifth grade at the Mt. Pleasant School 61% were corrected.


In June there was a gratifying increase in the number of 100% mouths in grades 1 to 9, the number being 627 as compared with 569 in 1940. No cases of trench mouth were discovered this year.


Pre-School Examinations


Seventy-eight pre-school children were examined. Of these, 23 were found to have 100% mouths. At these examinations parents are shown all defects and urged to take the children to the dentist if necessary before they enter school in September.


Clinical Service


As in previous years clinical service has been provided for the following groups: (1) children in first two grades who are unable to go to their family dentist, (2) Bailey health camp children, (3) emergency cases in other grades. School dentists cooperate by taking many of these emergency cases at their private offices and on their own țime,
