W e take advantage of the kindly of fer of the pages of The Journal of the National Dental Association to inform the members o f the Panama-Pacific Den tal Congress, and others who may be in terested, that the official proceedings of the Congress will probably be ready for delivery not later than August, 1917, and possibly earlier. This, we believe, will equal the rec ord o f other congresses and is really making good time when we take into
431
consideration the prevailing use of illus trations which the radiograph has en couraged. This innovation has not only increased the work of the printer but also that of the editor whose duty it is. to obtain the cuts in printable form from the contributors to the program. In the meantime the papers- are being published monthly in the “ Items of In terest” so the profession is receiving them much quicker than they otherwise would. Members of the profession, who were not members of the Congress, may pur chase copies of the transactions on pay ment of the membership fee o f ten dol lars. Requests for copies must be filed with the secretary within thirty days. Please address, ARTHUR M. FLOOD, 240 Stockton St., San Francisco, Cal.

THE JOURNAL OP THE NATIONAL DENTAL ASSOCIATION. COME T O BOSTON.
Gentlemen of the Dental Profession: An opportunity of tremendous import ance is at hand— your manly apprecia tion and your loyalty to dental principle are now to be tested. Are you proud to be dentists? On January 20, 1917, you will have an opportunity to give further proof of your devotedness to your profession, not merely as individuals, but collectively as a great host. On that evening a banquet is to be held in Boston. At this banquet there will be presented a silver loving cup, the symbol of the affection of the dental profession. This cup will be pre sented at this banquet to the distin guished gentleman who has given to Dentistry the most priceless treasure of its history—to Mr. Thomas Forsyth. Thomas Forsyth has as yet received no honorary degree. No College or Uni versity has in any way shown its appre ciation of his contribution to the cause of Humanity; and it is better so. For their negligence has given to us, mem bers of the dental profession, the privi lege of being the first to publicly honor the man to whom we owe the first and greatest institution of its kind in the world. This occasion should be an epoch in our lives—never before in the history of our profession have we been so indebted to anyone—never before, then, has it been so imperative that we acknowledge by our presence, as a professional body, our appreciative indebtedness to this benefactor of humanity. The Forsyth Dental Infirmary is no longer an aim, a theory; it is a fact. Hundreds of suffering children are re lieved daily from pain, and hundreds of grateful patients are bestowing earnest blessings upon the man who made this possible. Shall we of the dental profession be less grateful? Shall we who realize the enormous importance of such an institu
tion, who have been begging for it for a generation, shall we fail to give thanks? Come, then, to Boston January 20,1917, and show by your spontaneous response to this general invitation that every man of you, as individuals and members of a great collective body, are proud and glad o f the opportunity to honor Mr. Thomas Forsyth of Boston.
