Look After the Teeth.
DR. PLRDY’S WARNING
ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH.
Auckland, September 1. Dr. Purdy, District Health Officer, in a lecture last night, urged the teaching of hygiene in schools as a compulsory subject, together with systematic medical inspection of schools. Le; them have competent dentists to attend to the teeth of the children in our State schools. At least in each of the chief centres dental dispensaries should be established, to which all children with curious teeth 1 should be sent. All volunteers should be allowed free to consult a dentist who would be paid a regulation fee according to the work done. The standard of the people would be raised by the subsidising of State dentists. Next to a sanatorium for consumptives and a children's hospital he could not advise anyone desirious of leaving money to a good cause to do better than to found and endow a dental dispensary, (Applause).
