COUNCIL INSTRUCTS RURAL
CHILDREN IN DENTAL HY
GIENE
Public Authorities Endorse Health Ac
tivities Sponsored hy National
Council of Jewish Women.
New York City.—The instruction
given to over 2,000 children in dental
hygiene, in the rural schools of New
York and Connecticut, is one of the
pioneering activities of the National
Council of Jewish Women, conducted
by its Department of Farm and Rural
W’ork, of which Mrs. F.lmer Eckhouse
is National Chairman.
According to a report made by the
Council’s Oral Hygienist, Mae Kup-
perman, the dental hygienist is totally
unknown to the children in many
of the “district” schools. There is
great need for the operative and edu
cational service of the dental hygien
ist. A completely equipped portnble
dental clinic, under the direction of
the Council’s Oral Hygienist, is taken
from village to village, and to the
rural cross-roads. Educational talks
are presented and prophylactic work
is done. This project was undertaken
by the Department of Farm and
Rural Work, of the National Council
of Jewish Women ns a result of the
health work promoted for several
years.
Stnte, School, and Health authori
ties have expressed their approval
and appreciation of these Council ac
tivities among the children in the
rural districts.
