SCHOOL DENTAL WORK
MINISTER STRESSES AIMS ADHERING TO PRINCIPLES Interesting phases of his recently assumed administrative laboours were described by the Hon. A. J. Stallworthy, Minister of Health, in an address which he gave yesterday to the Mount Eden branch of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. The speaker referred to the work of the dental clinic and denied the statement that he had been departing from the fundamental principles governing their administration. His predecessor in office believed that it was necessary to make provision for the extension of clinics to all children in the Dominion.
