ORTHODONTICS S ( . much has been written about programmed in- struction that the term newer teaching methods which you have selected as your theme, immediately calls this to mind. Programmed instruction has already proven its great value in general education and will undoubtedly play an even greater role in the future. So far these techniques have had only limited applica- tion in dental education and have been used largely in the teaching of theory. Laboratory or clinical work involving the practical application of theoretical principles is somewhat more difficult to program successfully. Orthodontics at the undergraduate level constitutes one of the several minor subjects in which only a limited amount of the subject matter can be covered because of severe limitations of time. We constantly strive to use this limited time to best advantage, and some innovations are introduced each year. Within recent years we have tried to expand the subject matter by assigning outside reading to supple- ment each lecture. These assignments are made the subject of short weekly quizzes to provide incentive and the opportunity for each student to demonstrate his capabilities and understanding in the subject. The addition of closed circuit television has allowed the treatment of one patient to be viewed by an entire class, and thus has afforded the student a wider ex- perience which enables him to perform orthodontic services for his patients.
