The Minister said that he had been instrumental in having the school dental clinics established, but had since given up the portfolios of public health, so was rather out of touch with the latest movements. He thought it possible to get the travelling dental clinic tp visit the Hauraki Plains Mr T. W. Rhodes suggested that a permanent "clinic be established at Thames, but the Minister agreed with the deputation and others preSent" 1 " ■ that this would be of no benefit to the children of the Plains.
