EA-E Q r g ! STE , . :og Three primary considerations present themselves--first the cultural and general science side of the subject second the degree to which students should receive the same instruction as medical students third how far should the prac- tical application be left to the clinical courses in succeeding years What might be termed the general cultural side would comprise a general consideration of the role of micro-organisms in nature What is the distribution of micro-organisms in nature how far are they essential to our well being how far are they harmful to plants to the lower ani- mals and to man? With the time available only the most general idea of these subjects can be developed as for instance the role of microbes in the natural nitrogen cycle in food production such as the souring of cream for making butter etc Likewise the question of the infectious diseases of plants and of the lower animals could only be touched upon enough to show their great importance For instance a general idea of tick fever of cattle is important from the historical standpoint as it was the first disease shown to be transmitted by insects Although the above phases do not touch directly on dental and medical practice they may have an important direct bearing in so far as they affect food production. For instance anything induencing the price of food influences nutrition and nutrition influences body growth and dentition. In the teaching of bacteriology and protozoology there is a question which applies both to the teaching of dental and of medical students. How much time should be devoted to general biological aspects, to morphology and to physiolog- ical activities as a basis of classification, nomenclature, etc.? Should we plunge at once into the study ofthe pathogenic forms in the hope that the student would thus get a suHicient idea of the systematic side of the subject? We do not believe that this would serve and still we can hardly spare the time to study a sufficient number of types of microbes for anything approaching an adequate general bio- logical survey. We hope that the growing appreciation of the importance of micro-organisms in all the phases of life will result in all universities offering general courses as a separate subject the same as they now offer other courses in other special phases of biological science. If such instruction were made a requisite in pre-dental educa- tion, and the student came to us with a general knowledge of the importance of micro-organisms in nature, with a foundation as to the technical fundamentals of pure culture isolation and the methods of biological study, etc., we should be saved the questions we have raised in these regards. The sooner this hope is realized the better for dental and medical education. 2: si 5 E5-E is Eg? E E 3 Z E23 542 212 E---5 ? 1 ? r ..

There are roughly three sets of opinions being argued today by ' their proponents. First, dentistry should be a post-graduate specialty of medicineg ' second the instruction in the fundamental sciences should be alike for both med- t-- ical and dental students' third the fundamentals should be similarly taught but -f the courses should differ in glving the major time and emphasis and time to the - phases immediately applicable in clinical dentistry f :SE ' 2 '- -' ' Vi all i s ali lm '-um mul -'---- - uw - --- In 'l jl' 'IW' Ill jll lI'lI ' 1 'rl .lf '21 -f l41l . is

PARK, M.D., and CHARLES KRUMWIEDE, M.D. When the New York University College of Dentistry became part of New York University it became our duty to teach the subject of Bacteriology as well as Protozoology and Immunology. We were immediately faced with the question what should be the scope of instruction to dental students. We cannot say that we have found a wholly satisfactory answer. It may be of interest to give some of the ideas which have influenced us in giving the instruction this year. H- Q, I u ll In ,fe-xg' I Ei' ill , , If . J.

There can be no question that the dentist should know sufiicient about the Q E purely medical phases of micro-biology and immunology to meet physicians on com- j E -?'- mon ground. The general preventive medicine aspects should receive equal consid- E- '-2 in j eration. A dentist should be able to intelligently discuss the prevention of diph- ' 2 - theria with his more intelligent clientele. - Q 5 With the present organization of professional education it seems, therefore, V- E that the instruction for dental and medical students should cover the same general E ground, but should diverge in emphasis and the time spent on certain phases. The - S mi flora of the oral cavity, its relation to oral pathology, its bearing on systemic I.. 5 -V manifestation of disease should be presented in detail to the dental student. On the E- E 1 other hand the other sources of similar systemic symptoms should be taught, so that E' E 1 X' the dentist may no longer be accused of having his vision limited to the mouth. 1, E ', ly f Again the bearing of the flora of the mouth on obtaining material for bacteriologi- i f lli cal examination, the possible pitfalls and dangers of misinterpretation, its bearing f I if xlr on oral operations, office asepsis, etc., cannot be too thoroughly emphasized. .QQ I S til In immunology the questions of diagnostic applications, the specificity of bac- 'uf E ,il teria and bacterial products and their bearing on specific therapy in dental practice 1-'li E require careful consideration. If xl A 3 The answer to many of the present difficulties lies apparently in preliminary ' ll 5 N 2 preparation for the subject. Time is the outstanding need and the ultimate answer ' E gf , 5 rests with the solution of the many interlocked difhculties of present day profes- E , xg E sional education. pl ll! Ri g E AE El?
