XoiiTH Cakoi.ixa Board of Hkai/ih 177 An outstanding feature of the program is the course in Public Health Dentistry in the Division of Public Health ot the University of North Carolina, which the white dentists on the staff attend every summer. The financing of the Division of Oral Hygiene is from the State Board of Health, the Children's Bureau of the Federal Government, and appropriations by counties, cities. Women's Clubs, Parent-Teacher organizations, individuals, etc. This latter money is secured through the presentation to these organizations of the needs and benefits of the work by the Director of the Division. There was a time, not far removed, when it was diflficult to get appropriating bodies to see that what they termed an expenditure was not an expenditure but an "investment in child health" which would pay tremendous dividends and reflect itself, not only in the reduction of the number of children who were repeating their grades, but also in the behavior of the children. Now the story is different. Everyone seems to realize that it is no longer an experiment but a great opportunity in the reclamation and conservation of "Child Health." The arrangement for Mouth Health Programs in the counties of the state is that the county pays one-half of the expense and the State Board of Health pays the other half. The length of time spent in the counties depends both upon the needs and the amount of the appropriations by the counties, together with the allocation to the State Board of Health for this activity. :\Iouth Health Programs were conducted in seventy counties and in four city units during the school year 1938-1939. A total of 174,035 children were taught, in their own classrooms, by the dentists on the staff. This means that on each school day an average of 870 children received instruction in Mouth Health from a dentist, who is not only an authority on the subject of Mouth Health but has been trained to present it in the schools. The necessary dental corrections were made for 80,073 underprivileged children. Thousands of referred children found their way to the ofl^ices of private practitioners according to verbal reports from dentists in private practice. Division of Industrial Hygiene As previously reported, the Division of Industrial Hygiene has been concerned mainly with the control and prevention of occupational diseases that result from the inhalation of siliceous dusts. And, although such activities will continue for some time to be the major concern of the Division, the siliceous dust diseases have yielded ground during the past twelve months to other occupational disabilities, the variety of which forecasts an expanding scope of interest. In line with past activities there have been examined approximately 1.550 persons, most of whom were preemployment cases; however, 289 of them were routine workers in asbestos textile plants who w^ere reexamined after an interval of three years. There were 145 impinger and 29 konimeter samples of dust collected for particle counts to evaluate atmospheric concentrations and 10 Owen's Jet samples obtained for particle size measurements to determine the extent to which the dusts were respirable. In addition, chemical analyses were made of two samples of tobacco stemmery dust for organic matter content and five samples of foundry dust for iron content. Examined petro-graphically for quartz, or free silica, were eight samples of brick plant dust, 10
