A TRIP TI-HQCDUGI-I CDLH2 SCHCDCDI. The students of Kansas City-Western Dental College areiproud of their school, which is one of the leading dental institutions in America. You may ask, Why is it considered as such? To confirm this statement we have but to escort you on a trip through the various departments and their subsidiaries of this truly modernbuilding of ours. As we enter the south entrance we are immediately confronted with the administration office, from which Dr. Rinehart and his assistants ably direct the functions of the school. Now we have but to cross the hall to enter the school library which houses over two thousand volumes of some of the best literature obtainable on the art of dentistry and medicine. This magnificent library is open to the use of the entire student body. Then right off the library is the school museum, which is of much interest to those considering dentistry as a life's profession. Many very unusual cases are presented here that one would not have a chance to witness in many years of practice. It is indeed a treat few of us are privileged to see. We next come to probably the most outstanding part of our school, the infirmary. Patients upon entering the clinic are received in the reception room where they obtain information concerning the clinic. The infirmary was so planned as to give proper light- ing, both natural and artificial, and the greatest possible convenience for those working in the infirmary. The clinic room provides for a maximum of one hundred fifty dental chairs, fountains, cuspidors, electric engines, tables, etc. All operations are performed under the supervision of well trained instructors. In this spacious clinic the student gains adequate experience in all branches of practical dentistry. At the east end of the infirmary is set aside a portion known as the Lowry Clinic. The purpose of this clinic is to adequately serve a certain number of indigent children from three to fourteen years of age. This department is supervised by interns appointed each year from the graduating class. All the materials necessary for dental restorations for work done in the infirmary are obtained from the dispensary, where assistants see that as little time as necessary is lost in securing these materials. r Closely connected with the infirmary are smaller department rooms such as the X-ray room, orthodontia department, ceramics department, and the oral surgery department. The X-ray room is equipped with three of the latest type of X-ray machines, and here students learn the great importance of the use of the X-ray in making a complete oral diagnosis. The orthodontia department is for those wishing to specialize in orthodontia. Students are taught to differentiate simple irregularities and abnormalities, to take im- pressions of children's mouths, to make diagnostic and record casts, and to construct appliances. In the ceramics department students are instructed in building and baking of porcelain. The oral surgery department is thoroughly equipped with modern sterilizing ap- pliances, gas apparatus, operating table, chairs, and all necessary modern surgical facilities. The prosthetics department has two large laboratories, a freshman laboratory, and a sophomore laboratory. In the freshman laboratory the student learns the fundamental 1 1 rinci les of dentistry Then as the students progress they enter the sopnomore laoora- P P ' . . . . . . tory, where every possible means of cultivating an efficient technic in the construction of artificial dentures is taught. In several places throughout the school will be noticed attractive displays of the technic work done by students. These displays help to demon- strate the rapid improvement in the work turned out by students as they progress. The science departments are among the finest to be found anywhere. The large anatomical laboratory is amply supplied with cadavers and each student takes part in the dissections. The bacteriology and pathology laboratory is well equipped with microscopes, specimens and slides. This laboratory has fine work benches, having artificial slight and runnin water at each. The chemistry department not only 15 equipped with fine work benchei with running water at each, but has chemicals and equipment of all kinds and . . . . . . . . . h . d' descriptions with which to work. Chemistry of special interest to the dentist is emp asize summarize the tri we have just taken through our school is it little Now, as we P , wonder that we are proud of it, and thrill at the very thought of attending it ?-C.
