COMMENT ON DENTIST'S ADVICE
(By Telegvapt.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The wisdom of giving sweets to children came before tho Canterbury Education Board to-day when tho Director of the Division of Dental Hygiene wrote asking that tho attention of school committees be drawn 1o the prejudicial effects of sweets given to children at. school picnics and on other occasions. "I would sooner let my children have sweets, even if it took a day off their lives," said Mr. W. 11. Winsor. "When I went to school I had good chew," said Mr. W. P. Spencer, "and it never did me any harm." Mr. C. S. Thompson said that if a packet of ordinary boiled sweets did any harm to people it was time that they got off the earth.
