REPORTS O F C O U N C IL S A N D BUREAUS • 1273

a general guide. It can be adapted to meet specific state and local require­ ments. Copies soon will be sent to all constituent and component dental soci­ eties. It would be helpful if representatives of the medical and dental societies, parent-teacher associations and state health and education departments dis­ cussed implementing the program on state and local levels. Although it is a PTA program, any one of the groups could contact the others to set up a state conference. Each state organization could, in turn, notify its local components of the conference’s intentions. In part, the difficulty seems to be get­ ting medical and dental groups, volun­

tary health agencies and health and edu­ cation representatives to meet with PTA representatives locally. Dental societies can take the leadership in bringing these groups together. At the least, they can contact the appropriate Parent-Teacher Association representatives to tell them that dental societies are ready to co­ operate. The Continuous Health Supervision Program provides a good opportunity for interesting the schools and the community in the children’s health. Dental societies should cooperate in all school health pro­ grams, regardless of whether dental health is being studied. Opportunities will present themselves to develop programs for improved dental health.
