ing improvement must be aided and abetted by the active cooperation o f the dental profession and by the education o f the public. Fortunately, the public is in a receptive mood for sound educa tional material. In view o f the fact that many ethi cal dentifrice manufacturers and distrib utors have found compliance with the Council’s regulations regarding the nam ing of their products inconvenient, the Council has undertaken revision o f its rules o f nomenclature as these pertain to dentifrices. While the Council still prefers that the name o f a dentifrice developed subsequently to the formation o f the Council be a proper name which refers either to the name o f the firm or to some responsible individual associated with the firm, the Council will, under conditions which it may deem desirable or necessary, permit the use o f names adopted accord ing to the regulations contained in the following statement: The Council will consider for dentifrices trade names which imply no therapeutic or other ob jectionable claims, but which do not in dicate the name o f the company, and which are not the names o f established lines o f cosmetics or drugs o f which the dentifrice may be an item.

Accepted Dental Remedies, which was
revised in 1938, continues to fill an im portant position in dental education. At the present time, practically all dental schools in this country use the volume for the training o f dental students. In view o f this fact, the Council feels it highly desirable to continue the publica tion of Accepted Dental Remedies on an annual basis. ACKNOW LEDGM EN TS
