It is another case of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing, and orthodontists should make it a point to protest the clowning of their work, which occurs when articles appear that are excellent and nothing is wrong with them except that they are not true. -H. C. P.
Caste Goes to California Frank Casto, M.D., D.D.S., has recently moved from Cleveland, Ohio, and is settled for the practice of orthodontics in La Jolla, California. This move will interest orthodontists, particularly, for a number of reasons: first, because Dr. Casto is a past president of the American Dental Association, a past president of the American Society of Orthodontists, and for many years he was dean of the School of Dentistry of Western Reserve University, and this year is president of the American Board of Orthodontia; second, because he has been one of the constructive and outstanding leaders not only of orthodontics but also of dentistsy for many years; third, because Dr. Casto, after many years of successful practice, and his son, Bill, decided to present themselves for examination before the California State Board of Dental Examiners, father and son at the same time. Dr. Casto also passed the Board of Examiners of the California Medical Association. The fact that he passed t,hese two examinations within a few months is rather unusual. The good wishes of a host of friends, admirers, and former st,udents go with Dr. Casto and his son lo their new location iu La Jolla. When the trek starts in July to the annual meeting of the newly formed American Association of Orthodontists, Frank Casto will again be there, but. this time he will greet you as a full-fledged, sun-kissed Californian, and not as a citizen of the Great Lakes region, as he has been known for these many years. The honors Dr. Caste has deservedly received from the dental profession, and particularly as an orthodontist,, are legion ; and it is to be hoped that he has gone to California not to rctirc, but only for new inspiration and new responsibilities.
