In general, the nature of these demands changes as population density shifts from one age group to another, and from one type of residential area to another. These demands are also expand- ing, with the dentist-population ratio such that each dentist must bear an increasing burden of professional responsibility. In view of such considerations many new dentists will find that children will represent a large part of their practices. The dentist who welcomes these children in his practice and is prepared to provide dental service for them will find imme- diately that this is a positive practice building factor. He must recognize, too, that prevention of oral disease and disorder is an essential component of complete dental service and he must include sound measures to effect prevention in his everyday treatment planning for children. Only in this manner can the dentist fulfill his professional obligations as a modern, progressive practitioner in the health professions. Dr. Solomon N.

The practice of dentistry is undergoing a change at a rate more rapid than ever before. The change is occurring in bio- logical, technical, and socio-economic areas. There is no doubt that the demand for dental services is greater now than a dec- ade ago and there is little doubt that it will be even greater in the immediate years ahead. You are beginning your professional career with the most up-to-date knowledge at your command and you will put that knowledge to most efficient use. However, as a member of a profession you have an obligation to keep your fund of knowledge current; you cannot remain a success- ful practitioner if you do not. The present rate of advancement of dental practice requires that you begin immediately to make plans for continued self-development, for even a short delay may create a handicap which will be most difficult to overcome. Resolve now to keep abreast of the literature, to attend scientific sessions regularly and to take refresher courses at frequent in- tervals. Only in this way can you insure your future success and happiness. Dr. Nicholas A. DiSalvo ORTHODONTICS Harold P. Cobin, B.S., D.D.S., Asst. Clin. Prof, of Dentistry Henry I.

Prof of Anatomy Dorothy D. Johnson, A.B., M.A., Ph.D., Ass ' f Prof, of Anatomy Inevitably our society is placing increasing quantitative and qualitative demands upon the general dental practitioner. The state of the art of any profession, is a direct expression of the state of its scientific knowledge, both applied and basic. The growth of a profession ' s technical proficiencies is constant- ly accompanied by an increase in its scientific content. Con- sequently, the individual dental practitioner must not only maintain, but actively increase his knowledge of the scientific basis of his profession.
