‘SCHOOL-WIDE

Children love good-spirited competition. So when
using the 8-Point Checkup Record and the “Why
Do Teeth Ache?” chart to stress the importance of
Oral Hygiene in the classroom, why not arrange
to extend the contest to cover the entire school.

A very simple but effective method has proved
successful in one of the New York schools and is
adaptable for use in any school of two or more
classrooms.

Use our 8-Point Hygiene Checkup Form to keep
the individual record in each classroom on daily
tooth brushing and gum massage, and present the
Certificates to the ten children in each class who
have the best record for dental care.

Then to make an interesting inter-class record
which all can watch, enlist the help of the manual

training or art classes and have a large board

prepared like that shown here Wood varnished
or beaver board painted would be effective.

Place the board in a conspicuous spot—on a wall
in the hall or in the auditorium so that the mem-
bers of all classes can watch it.

Have an art student use the boy and girl] patterns
to cut out as many figures from colored paper as
there are children in the classes taking part. Red
for boys and blue for girls show up well.

As each child attains a perfect record for dental
health and care, a cutout is inserted on the
master board.

Then the first class to attain 100% Dental Health
(as indicated by a figure on the board for each
child in the class) is considered the winner of the
Dental Health Contest and an announcement can
be made before an assembly of the entire school.
