FURTHER COMMENT ON THE AMERICAN CHILD HEALTH ASSOCIATION'S MONOGRAPH III ENTITLED: "PUBLIC HEALTH ASPECTS OF DENTAL DECAY IN CHILDREN"

ORAL HYGIENE COMMITTEE OF GREATER NEW YORK

Section 11: An invention of propaganda in Monograph III is discussed, and its disavowal noted and emphasized.

Section III: The destructive character of Monograph III is illustrated. Assembled quotations from Dr. Palmer's reply, indicating a constructive position that was not shown in the Monograph, foreshadow a fair presentation of dental subjects in future publications by the American Child Health Association.

Section IV: Evidences of the unreliability of the data in the Monograph, and also the misleading character of some of its presentations, are discussed.

Section V: The treatment, in public clinics, of enamel defects—the remaining chief issue in the discussion—is considered, and the position of the Oral Hygiene Committee restated.

Section VI: A few additional disagreements with statements in Dr. Palmer's reply, of many that might be noted, are briefly indicated.
