The results, as shown in this re
port, may be obtained in practically
any section of the country if the hy
gienists and supervisors in charge of
the work are sufflcinetly educated in
their specialty. It must be clearly
understood that althougu the dental
corps has been guided in its work,
what has been accomplished has been
mainly through its own intelligent in
dividual effort and not through any
coercion of the teachers by the educa
tional authorities in charge of the
school system. The demonstration was
conducted along these lines under the
least favorable circumstances pur
posely to prove the real efficacy of,
prevention. It Is our hope that from
now on a definite health .program will
be introduced into our school system
in Bridgeport that will give the teach
ers a greater appreciation of the taw
portance of sound bodies for the chil
dren, thus securing a complete co
operation and interest on their part
in this most important phase of child,
welfare. ,
