SCHOOL DENTIST.
Mr. C. F. Rose, L.D.S., continued his work as temporary
School Dentist, giving two half-days a week during the school
terms.
From Table D below it will be seen that 2,095 children were
inspected by the Dentist, and of these no less than 1,413 were
found to require treatment; but that only 577 accepted the treatment
offered them.
The work in this department has increased very considerably
during the past year.
The figures do not, of course, compare with those of the work
carried out by a whole-time Dentist in 1915, and two half-days a
week are quite inadequate for dental treatment of the school children
of a district of this size.
The question of the appointment of a whole-time Dentist is
now under consideration.
