pe Arbella club held an open meet- 
ing” 
ae hall’ in made to give 
i on-members, of the club an oppor- 
2 unity fo hear such an authority as 
t. William H. Potter, for 25 years 
an _ instructor in Harvard Dental 
school, talk upon “Dental Hygiene.” 
Dr Potter's: talk was’ simple and di- 
i Pat the: youngest child present at 
not fail to grasp their meaning. 
In his introductory remarks the 
speaker said the would discuss the | 
relation of dental hygiene to effi- 
y “ciency from two view points, che 
' value of the teeth as a power of the 
m body, and the enemies of the teeth. 
me: ‘He dealt first with the temporary 
ss teeth that have been so neglected in 
the past. He emphasized the import- 
ance of these teeth which have a di- 
=: rect bearing upon the health of the 
d | child during the first seven years, 
perhaps the most impressionable 
years of his life. He laid particular 
¥ stress upon the proper care of the 
second molar, which is not a “first” 
tooth as so many persons think, but 
a permanent and important tooth. It 
does a great part of tne work of 
mastication. Between the ages of 
seventeen and twenty-one, one coim- 
fe pictes his. set of thirty- -two teeth 
. ae which should last as long as he lives. 
_ Good teeth not only look better than 
poor ones, but the nerves of the teeti 
Ss _ are the most sensitive of the human 
system. 
‘Dr. Potter has had years of ex- 
perience in examining teeth and gave 
a ‘it as his opinion that 95% of the chil- 
dren in Boston and Brookline pubitc 
schools have teeth that need immedi- 
ate care. Foremost among the forces 
e that destroy teeth is the lodging of 
food in the crevices between “and in 
the crowns of the teeth. If this food 
4s not removed immediately, it decays, 
acids are formed that rot the teeth, 
5 and clean food coming into the mouth 
“4s contaminated and taken into the 
a peer. 
_ *<"Dr. Potter gave the following di- 
7? reaittions for the proper care and use 
‘of the teeth: 
“~ r. The teeth should be thoroughly 
“brushed after each meal. 
*- 2; A tooth powder used on the 
the brush helps to clean the teeth. 
~--* 3. Candy and crackers should not 
he) eaten between meals. They cause 
: teeth to decay. 
4. The slow an! thorough chewing 
of nar food helps to preserve the

‘teeth and keep the mouth ina healthy 
condition. 
5. Children’s teeth should be ex- 
amined by a dentist at least twice a 
year. 
Others interesting “facts that ir? 
Potter gave included this one,—thit 
all tooth powders are composed of 
chalk and soap, with a little flavor- 
ing, and that your. druggist can mix 
the cheapest powder for you. Such 
a powder will be as efficient as the 
more expensive kinds. 
The speaker closed his most inter- 
esting lecture with a picture of a 
model dentist’s office recently install- 
ed in the schools of a little manufac- 
turing town near Vienna by a famous 
dentist, who was interested enough to 
devote a considerable sum to the pur- 
chase of the necessary equipment, 
and including a capable dentist and 
nurse. 
The stereopticon views with which 
the lecture was illustrated were very 
iteresting and served to make even 
more graphic the speaker’s already 
convincing words,
