1 SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, August 8, 1952 Children Have More . Sense About Dentists Than Their Parents By DELOS SMITH United Pres Science Edilor New York (U.R) Dentists have made a discovery which rniiiH revolutionize society and their own Dositiorf in it. Children, if given the chance and left alone, have more sense about dentists and dentistry than their tiarents do. This is for the information of parents as the time of year ap proaches when innumerable lit tle Johnnies will be driven to dentists for professional look sees before school begins.

Those who have won't need to bc driven. They're more likely to be driv ing their parents. ' A whole generation of chil dren free of dental fears is grow ing up here where the method has been pioneered, and the pro fession points with pride to one heartening sign of change. New York University's College of Dentistry annually admits 150 freshmen. But applications now are exceeding 1500 every year. The Rational Approach Dr. Harold Kane Addelston, associate professor of pedodon tics, which is dentistry for chil dren, describes the modern method as "the rational ap proach." It is replacing the "gadget era" when dentists used teddy bears, electric trains, card tricks, and whatever occurred to them to distract children from dentistry. Now dentists give dentistry to the kids straight. Dr. Addelston summarized the fundamentals in three words, "Tell, show, do." First, the child is told what is going to be done. He is shown how it is going to be done. And then it is done, precisely as de scribed. Children Fear Unknown "The educational basis for this is that children fear the un known," he said. "This is com pounded by the misinformation they pick up from adults whose exaggerated stories are enough to instill fear into the hearts of grown men and women to say nothing of the devastating effect that they have on little children. "Dentists prefer to do more dentistry for children and thus avoid more dentistry for adults, particularly drastic dentistry, tion rather than the dentistry of careful examination and preven tion rather than the entistry of extractions and dentures." - 7,680 Visit Museum During Jubilee Days Jacksonville The Jackson ville Museum was thronged dur ing the Jacksonville Jubilee, last Saturday and Sunday, according to the curator, Mrs. Myrtle P.
