DENTISTS GATHER
National Association Meets

Week.
The vanguard of the National Den
tal Association, the National Associa
tion of Dental Faculties and the Na
tlonal Association of Dental Examiners
have arrived In Atlanta and the doc
tors are getting down to work at busl
ness Friday. The momentous questions
having to do with methods of pulling
teeth moat painfully and how to ef
fectually gag a patient for torture are
out being dlecusaed yet, but will soon.
The National Dental Aaaoclatlon with
Its clinics and things begins Its sea
slona Tuesday next.
The two associations which begin
their meeting* Friday are In Atlanta,
the one to discus* the business end of
dental collages and the other to dlacuaa
the admission of dentists to practice.
The faculties association begun Its
meetings at 2 o'clock Friday nfternoon
In the Piedmont Hotel assembly room.
The membership I* composed of 5$ den-
t.'d colleges located In all parta of the
l'nlted States. Some forty-odd dele
gates are expected. Dr. J. H. Kennrr-
lc\. of Bt. Louta, la president of this
organisation.
The examiners began their meetings
at the Kimball House In the morning,
hut were not able to transact much
business on account of the failure of
most of the membere to arrive on time.
The boat on which the secretary ami
1 hr Eastern members came from New
York and Boeton to Savannah waa late
and they missed the Atlanta train.
Dr. H, Wood Campbell, of 8uffolk,
Yil, president, waa on hand, but the
association could not get Hlong very
fui without Secretary Charles Meeker,
of Newark, N. J. Practically the only
tutelness transacted waa the adoption
of n resolution on the death of Dr.
Charles Chittenden, of Madison, Wls„
former president of the examiners' as-
s "i l.ttlon and also of the National Den
tal Association.
It la expected that both these auxll-
Ur\ association* will he through with
thi ll' business before the lay dentlsta
begin their sessions September II.
The battleship Oeorgla which is soon
to be commluloned, cannot get any
nearer Georgia water* than 2 or 4
miles olf Tybee, and It will ba the mid
dle of December next before she can
be sent thet close.
This Information was brought back
from Washington by Governor Terrell,
who has Just returned from a ten days'
trip East, accompanied by Mrs. Ter
rell.
“The Georgia which I* now at Bos
ton," Governor Terrell said, “will be
turned over to the government next
Sunday and accepted on Monday. At
the lime of her acceptance the officer*
of the new vessel will be commissioned
and ordered to man the veosel. Secre
tary of the Navy Bonaparte explained
the charts while I waa In his office and
we found that 2 or 4 miles off Tybee
Is the nearest the new battleship can
safely get to Georgia waters. The
Georgia draws 25 feet § Inches, but
If Is not considered safe for her to go
Into water less than 22 to 10 feet deep
Secretary Bonaparte slated It would be
the middle of December before the bat
tleship could be sent to Georgia, but
that this would ba done If we desired It.
Of course we will have her com*. I
expect to have a conference with Mayor
Myers, of Savannah, who Is very mueh
Interested in the matter and also of the
presentation of soma suitable gift to
the new vessel. We will doubtless be
able to arrange to have the people who
want to visit the Georgia taken down
to Tybee on vessels of some kind. It
will take three month! to man the vea-
ael and train the crew and for this rea
son It will be Impossible to get the
Georgia here before December."
Will Help New Schools.
Governor Terrell also brought bock
some Interesting Information regarding
the new district agricultural colleges
which nre being established In Geor
gia. He had a conference with mem
bers of the Southern Education board
and they agreed at their next meeting
to take up the question of extending aid
to the Tech and to other Georgia edu
cational Institutions.
The governor waa fortunate In secur
ing some Immediate aid fnr the new*
agricultural colleges lo be .established
In each congressional district. Under
the law establishing these colleges no
money will be available until January
■ 1»0J.
‘There la much preliminary work to
be done In connection with the estab
lishment of these college*,” Oovernor
Terrell said, "and the Southern Educa
tion board has agreed at Its own ex
pense to send such experts to Georgia
as we need to map out the curriculum
and give such other aid a* they can to
the trustees. The board also agreed to
pay the preliminary expenses of the
trustees In the work of establishing the
colleges.
Further than that the board sent Its
secretary. Dr. Wallace llut rick, to
Washington with me to see Secretary
Wilson and Assistant. Secretary Hayea
of the department of agriculture. They
agreed to send two expert* to Georgia
to aid In the work and lend such other
aid a* fhe department can give under
the law."
