And now, recognizing that this is not sufficient to insure complete oral hygiene, they are helping our children to form the habit of gum massage. Teachers all over the country write of the splendid work they are doing. To quote from a teacher in Ohio: “In our oral hygiene lessons we have instructed the children in gum massage and had excellent results.” This is one example of an educational program that will help our children go through adult life free from dental cares or worries. Its importance is emphasized by a well-known dentist who states: “If aman or woman reaches adult life with Soft foods deprive children’s gums of the stimulation they .need for health Explain to your children how this splendid habit tones the gums and makes for better oral hygiene clean, healthy gums, he will probably keep them so for the remainder of his or her life.” The modern plague of gum disorders can be traced to our diet of soft, tender foods. Lacking in roughage and fibre, these foods deny exercise and stimula- tion to the gums. As a result, the gums become tender and weak, they bleed. In this condition they are open to the attack of infection, a possible prey to gingivitis, Vincent’s disease, or even pyorrhea. Gum massage, regularly practiced, keeps the gums hard and healthy The best preventive for these troubles of the gums is to massage them twice daily, each time the teeth are brushed. This will rouse their sluggish circulation, tone and firm the gum tissues. Soon they will regain their pink and healthy color. So instruct your children in this latest finding of the dental profession. Have them brush their gums faithfully and Mention Tue Journat, when writing our advertisers. thoroughly, from the base toward the teeth, at least twice each day. In doing this, you will assure them sound and healthy gums and, at the same time, you will be writing one more bright chapter in the American teachers’ record of unselfish service. Ipana Tooth Paste is an excellent denti- frice to assist you in teaching children this new technique of oral hygiene. Not only is it often recommended by dentists to tone up the gums as well as to clean the teeth, but its refreshing flavor de- lights even children, and that, of course, makes things easier. Ipana’s content of ziratol makes it a specific for tender or bleeding gums. Try it yourself, if your tooth brush occa- sionally “‘shows pink.” But Ipana or no, every educator now has an opportunity to spread the doctrine of better teeth and gums by teaching children the twice- a-day habit of gum massage.

How do YOU overcome lip movement and finger pointing in reading? Every teacher knows the difficulties that spring from these two bad habits of beginners.
