rehandling of an affair that had been previously settled declared dr vusuke tsuriiini in his address last sunday afternoon in the firs presby terian church on the impact of the immigration ilifl on japanese life dr tsurumi who is a prominent figure in the liberal element of japan cited tlic gentlemen's agreement of 111(17 effected between japan and the united states by this agreement children of orientals under sixteen years of age were admitted to the or dinary schools of san francisco in re turn for a promise on flic pari of japan to withhold passports from la boiers bound foi the united stab's in i'.lll the japanese government leiler ated ils pledge to restrain emigration to the united states it was alleged that japan had failed to live up to the international agree ment of 1907 the grievance of japan is i hat the united states executive and legislative departments did not inves tigate sufficiently :;■> to whether or not the allegations were true this lack of deference manifested by congress to japan has brushed aside the gentlemen's agreement and given the impression in japan that the united states has no faith in the japanese government an integ rity and does not care for is friend ship no one in japan doubts the con stitutional right of congress to legis late on internal and domestic ques tions said dr tsurumi the is sue at stake iu america was the pro tection of american civilization from japan but no one iii japan looked on the united stales as an outlet for japanese bopulation the issue in japan was whether thai country was to stand on equal powers witli the na tions of the world and to be treated as an equal .' the greatest cause of misunder standing between japan nnd ihe united states dr tsuriiini pointed out is in the mode of thought anglo-saxon education lias infused into the ameri can mind the power of judgment ; japanese education has heen based largely on memory work the ameri can mind works iu particulars and dis tinctions the japanese mind deals ir t lie abstract the american method of reasoning is by induction the jap anese method is by deduction ninety five per cent of people suffer from tooth decay dean squire shows in lecture a normal man exerts approximate ly 200 his pressure on his teeth about 2(1(1 times each meal three times a day 365 day a year said dr samuel h squire dean of the school of dentistry in his lec ture on the relation ef the first permanent molar to the development of the normal child at the gros venor library in the tenth of the tues day after ll series of lectures if a man is exceedingly muscular he may exert as much as sso pounds pressure on his teeth tooth decay is the most prevalent of diseases lo per cent of all humans suffering from it primitive people were ar less subject to this disease than civilized man their teeth were larger more dense and more perfect in shape than ours an interesting illus tration of this strength is the eskimo when his shoes become too hard for comfort he chews them soft again we can eradicate tooth decay the same as any other disease the inline f dentistry lies iu the held of prevent ative dentistry which is a specialized field of medicine and dues not mean polishing the teeth once every month or two and tilling the cavities dr squire then went on to show some of the preventative measures of dentis try illustrated witli slides lie showed the injurious effect on the other teeth aud the jaw of the removal of a six year molar xext was shown the hideous and harmful effect of the pacifier which dr s(|iiire termed the most vicious invention ever offered to the public it was demonstrated how the lips are ruined and the roof of the mouth mov ed forward causing a protruding up per jaw by the pacifier very much the same as by sucking the thumb or fing ers if we are tn build sound teeth we must begin before birth ami thus reg date the chemical components dental hyperplasia or the incomplete develop ment of teeth iv be due to deficiency of food in the intra-urrine or immediate post-natal period to syphilitic infec tion before birth as well as to erup tive child diseases i.e scarlet lever measles etc eruptive diseases cause dental hyperplasia inasmuch as the same material is used for tooth dentine as for skin growth both prenatal and postnatal diet should be closely supervised ' ' the many and interesting slides showed x-ray pictures of the teeth and jaw as they should be the form they take with the removal of a baby tooth or a six year molar the method in which decay of the teeth starts nnd how it progresses and why a filled tooth is a degenerating tooth the gradual growth of the teeth from the embryonic sla^e to those of an adult of 17 or 18 were shown and lastly scleral speci mens of dental hyperplasia or incom
