    Seventh IReport Of the Committee appointed by the Representative Board of the BRITISH DENTAL ASSOCIATION TO CONDUCT THE Collective Investigation as to the Condition of the Teeth of School Children. Since the issue of their last report in 1896 the Committee have received returns from three schools, in which nearly 900 children’s teeth were examined, thus making a total of 12,318 since the commencement of the investigation. The schools examined were, with one exception, of the usual character, and comprise the following :—St. Edward’s School, Totteridge, Herts, examined by Mr. F. M. Farmer ; Central London District Schools (Op- thalmic Department), Hanwell, Middlesex, examined by Mr. S. F. Rose; and Haileybury College, Herts, the well-known high- class public school, examined by Mr. Sidney Spokes—to all of whom the thanks of the Association should be accorded. As the ages of these children vary from 4 to 17 years, and as the total number in each school is so small, no great value and no new fact of importance can be derived from a publication of the detailed tables giving the general results in each of these schools. The actual figures in this return have been reduced to percentages which are embodied in the following table on the plan which has proved so useful in former years, and which facilitates comparison with die results of previous returns by arranging them in triennial age groups, and tabulated according to the standard of measurement as to quality or condition of the denture as set forth in the Second Report.
