CHILDREN’S TEETH. After listening to tlio address of the President of the Dental Association, the Minister for Public Health should be in no doubt as to his duty in regard to the examination of the teetli of school children. In putting forward arguments in favor of this stop, Mr. Thompson labored irtider the disadvantage of having to travel over ground that ho himself had ably covered last year, and of advocating a measure of public health which has been urged by dentists and doctors all over the colony Ho managed, however, to emphasise his points by telling quotations, especially a summary of the results of a recent dental examination of over a thousand Wellington school children The prevalence of carious teeth is indicated by the fact that on the average every child examined had five teeth requiring the attention of a dentist. It is unnecessary for us to lay further stress upon the supreme importance of tho teeth being properly looked after. If the public do not realise that unsound teeth are among the most fruitful sources of ill-health and that in the care of the teeth prevention is much better than cure, it is not for want of being told. With regard to the examination of school children’s teeth, we sincerely hope with Mr. Fowlds, that “before long something will be done in that direction.” Of course, as he said yesterday, there is not much use of drawing attention to tho defective state of children’s teeth unless some means are taken to remedy the evil. It is therefore all the more desirable that dental wards should be attached to tho general hospitals, so that parents unable to afford the expense of taking their children to a dentist might he able to have them attended to in the hospital. A number of members of the Christchurch Odontological Society have already in a most publicspirited manner placed their services at the disposal of the Hospital Board for this purpose, and we are glad to have Mr. Payling’s statement that the lack of accommodation at tho Hospital, which compelled the Board to decline the otfer after accepting it, is to he remedied during the year. Tho provision of a dental ward will, we believe, do more than anything else to induce proper care being taken of the teeth.—Christchurch Press.

Only two small losses by lire since the Association commenced some 18 months ago, for £75 and £9O respectively, had taken place, and these had been promptly settled without making any assessment on the shareholders. Excellent reports of the progress made by the Taranaki, Hawke’s Bay, and Otago Mutuals were received, and no losses by fires had been recorded by either Taranaki or Hawke’s Bay Associations since their openings.
