Chairman of Department and Asso- ciate Professor of Dentistry Of the newer specialties in dentistry, children ' s dentistry is rapidly becoming foremost. The difficulty of handling children in any dental practice is fully ap- preciated by the general practitioner. Child psychology, and a fully equipped children ' s clinic are of importance in proper and intelligent practice of children ' s dentistry. Thus the difficulty in general practice. In our clinics the student is enabled to demonstrate his capabilities as a soother of bleeding little hearts. ruder Dr. MeBeath we are given a course of child psychology and its proper application. Dr. McBeath also impresses upon the minds of the students the importance of pre-natal and post-natal dietary regulations. Dr. Stowe teaches the students the correct therapeutic and operative procedures necessary in the successful treatment of children ' s teeth. DENTAL REVIEW Tu enty-five

COLUMBIA PERIODONTIA HOUGHTON HOLLIDAY, A.B., D.D.S. Associate Professor of Dentistry HAROLD JUDSON LEONARD, D.D.S., A.B. Professor of Dentistry ISADOR HIRSCHFELD, D.D.S. Assistant Professor of Dentistry Chairman of Deft. WILLIAM BAILEY DUNNING, D.D.S., F.A.C.D. Professor of Dentistry Perhaps no section of the practice of dentistry is more fundamental in point of service to the individual than that of Periodontia. The chain is no stronger than its weakest link, and the condition of the supporting structures of a tooth will make that tooth a valuable member, or, regardless of the most skilled restorative work, a menace to the comfort and health of the patient. Many systemic ills may be avoided without difficulty with the proper care of the periodontal investing tissues. The periodontist is therefore an important connecting link between medicine and dentistry. This course is given as a series of lectures and clinical hours, in the Junior and Senior years, during which time the student learns the newest methods of thoroughly cleansing the oval cavity. Dr. Hirschfeld with his stereoscopic photo- graphs leaves an indelible imprint in our minds for future recognition of such conditions as Vincent ' s gingivitis, the leukemias, scurvy, etc. DENTAL REVIEW Twenty-four

COLUMBIA ORAL DIAGNOSIS Standing in the vicinity of this department of diagnosticians we may hear : Sorry, madame, we advise full dentures ! You are suffering from rheumatism, n ' est-ce pas? Take them all out! Such is the refrain often sung in the deep, mellow voices of the diagnosticians. However, of great value is the preparation received by the student in this clinic, in reading X-rays, examining teeth for cavities and observing different lesions in the oral cavity. Oral Diagnosis, involving considerable knowledge of dentistry and medicine, also serves to bring these two professions into a more intimate relationship. It is the borderland between dentistry and medicine which must be greatly emphasized in order to render the greatest health service to the patient. HAROLD J. LEONARD, A.B., D.D.S. DANIEL E. ZISKIN.
