Possibly all of us have, at one time
or another, come across some slogan
or phrase that 'seemed to' make a
particular appeal to us, and which we
have adopted as our own. So, when
we read a phrase some;years ago, at-
tributed to the then premier of Great
Britain, the late James Ramsay Mac-
donald,

of memory. It was as
follows. "The

permanent work of the world ie done'
by steady and persistent upbuilding."
We think of this as we report the
movement now under way in. Clinton
to form a Dental Hygiene Council.
From the experience we have had with
dentists, we are quite in favor of any
move that would take away their
means of livelihood, but unfortunately
this is a long way off, considering
that four out of every five Canad-
ians are depending on dentists to re-
lieve them of pain and to enable them
to smile and talk without causing
friends to shudder at their molar ap-
Why is education necessary one
may ask. Dr. Thompson quoted fig-
ures to show that by education and
research the death rate from tuber-
culosis had been cut 65% iii. the past
35 years; diphtheria and other deaths
have also been materially cut down„
largely by educating people on the
proper method of diet and by pre-
ventive measures made possible
through education.

was the startling statement
made by Dr. Thompson as he spoke
of health in relation to the condition
of teeth. One of the reasons for this
