From Our Own Correspondent.

Rarotonga, July 14.

MR. C. E. CLARKE arrived here to-day to take over the dental practice made vacant by the death last year of Mr. C.

O. Hodgkins.

Mr. Clarke will have charge of the School Dental Clinic during the forenoon and will practise privately in the afternoon.

It is to be hoped that with a permanent dentist in attendance the general condition Q f the children’s teeth will show marked improvement. In 1934, an inspection by the Medical Officer revealed 49.91 per cent. septic teeth present in local schools.
