A rather striking relation between the teeth and mentality is found in children. In a city abroad an examination of the mouths of the children in four public schools revealed rile fact that 97 per cent, of them needed care and attention of the teeth About forty of the most backward children in one of the schools were then inspected to discover the relation of the teeth to the mind. The children were given what dental care was required in each case, and were instructed in the care of teeth and the proper mastication ot food. Fror; the standpoint of scholarshin a wonderful result was reported. With due allowance for natural growth, an average improvement of 37 ner cent, was found and in the cases of ’he worst mouth conditions there was an improvement of as much as 50 ner cent.
