‘A-16 K BY JESSIE FANT EVANS. NCIENT and honorable George- town University, whose found- ing considerably antedates that of the Nation's Capital, 4s, according to its catalog. for man students only. Yet, paradoxical as it may seem, its course for the training of dental hyglenists in the school of dentistry is limited entirely to women. But this does not mean that George- town University has gone co-educa- tional. What is dental hygiene? Up-to-date dental house cleaning with many ramifications, I would say. So, per- haps, this is the reason that women are permitted to enroll in a fleld in which their sex has always shone in preaching and practicing the doctrine that cleanliness is akin to godliness. Miss Lillian Cain, D. H. (the let- ters after her name mean that she is a registered dental hyzienist), is the supervisor of this very progressive de- partment of Georgetown's school of dentistry. She is also a lecturer to those in training who desire to use these same coveted symbols. Her subjects include education, ethics and dental qump'udeme mani- | kin practice, officeé routine, personal hygiene, toothbrush technic and prophylaxis. in lay terms, the cleaning and polish- ing of the teeth by hand and with the use of the electric machine. nly Four of Sex on Faculty. This latter eourse means” dental hygienist in the United States Public Health Service. The department of dental hygiene is starting its seventh year beginning this school term which opened for registrations September 14 and will continue to enroll pupils until Septem- ber 23. Its natal year dates back to 1929 when the dental and medical depart- ments of Georgetown were moved into their commodious new quarters over- looking Reservoir road. Then it was With three other members of her ™ gex Miss Cain represents the sole in- | vasion of femininity on the roster of | the faculty of the school of dentistry at Georgetown. Her associates are Miss Ruth Moore, R.'N. ration; Miss Margaret Callahan, in- structor in dietetics, and Miss Rose- mary Parton, an alumnus of Trinity College, instructor in drawing. I'll have you to know, too, that these three modern Minervas, with all of | their wisdom and teaching poise, are 80 charmingly feminine that you in- | stantly realize the professional woman of today is no longer the blue stocking of yesterday. By way of professional and academic background for her own present career, Miss Cain, although her youth- ful appearance quite belies it, owns up to being a graduate from the Dental Infirmary for Children of the Forsyth-Tufts Dental College at Boston, to having don- post graduate work at the Teachers' College at Buffalo, to having specialized in nu- trition at George Washington Uni- versity and to having had practical experience in her profession, both in private dental offices and as a senior THE RENSHAW SCHOOL OF SPEECH For all vocations in which the spoken word is significant Classes begin September 28—Register now.

Today,- the representation is Nation-wide, with its graduates se- curing positions almost everywhgre | of our flag files. For instance, Miss Annie Lee Alnutt of the first gradua- tion class is the dental hsgienist in Gorgas Memorial Hospital, Panama Canal Zone. Miss Cain, whose connection with the school dates back to its inception, tells me the practice of mouth hygiene found in the religious rites and customs of tribes no longer extent. She adds: “However, its develop- ment has been so gradual in modern times that only comparatively recently has the medical dental profession fos- tered its scientific advance, so that it now represents one of the relatively uncrowded professional flelds for young women. Since the importance of the proper care of the mouth and teeth as a general health measure is daily being more and more stressed, the practice of the profession of dental hygienist is fast becoming not only one of service, but a pleasant remuner- ative vocation. Dental hygienists are licensed in many States and practi- cally all of our State legislatures have recognized the practice and teaching of mouth hygiene as a profession.” Dr. Cogan in Charge. ‘The department of dental hyglene[ is under the jurisdiction of Dr. Wil- | liam N. Cogan, dean of the School of | Dentistry, who founded it in 1898 as | the Washington Dental College, under | which name it operated until June, | 1901, when it was incorporated as a | part of Georgetown University during | the term of President John D, Whit- | ney, S. J. The course has been of | four years since 1915. Among those associated with Dean | Cogan in the administration of the | department of dental hygiene and as | | lecturers to it, other than Miss Cain | 2 | and her three women associates, are | Dr. Roy J. Glezen, assistant dean; | | Dr. John D. Hird, professor emeritus | of biochemistry and the executive sec- | irenry and treasurer of this depart- | ! ment; Dr. Eugene R. Whitmore, direc- | tor of the department of parasitology | | and pathology and lecturer in sanitary | | science and public health; Dr. Mario | | Mollari, director of the department | of bacteriology and immunology; Dr. ! William Brown Ingersoll, instructor in preventive dentistry; Dr. Vincent Dar- | dinski, professor of ‘anatomy; Dorln“ Thoran, D. D. §., professor of oper= .| | ative dentistry, and Dennis J.

In answer to my query, “Just what do graduates do after gradua- clon’?"”‘“)lhl Cain said the practice of the profession falls into two dis- tinet types, (1) the teaching of mouth hygiene in public and private schools, institutions and in public health work; (2) the prophylactic treat- ment of mouths of patients in pri- vate practice, in hospitals or in pub- lic or private institutions under the personal supervision of a licensed den- The courses in dental hyglene at Georgetown are so proportioned that & properly qualified young woman may take them in one academic year of approximately nine months, which is broken up into trimesters of about 11 weeks each. Candidates for admission to this department must be over 18 years of age, must present evidence of having completed the prescribed course other than a business course in an accred- ited high school and must present a certificate of health from a family physician. Rules for Students. Dental hygienists are governed by the same rules as those which apply to dental and medical students. While attending classes they wear the Georgetown Medical School uni- form. This consists of a white cap and uniform, & plain white handker- chief, white hose and shoes. Upon | graduation, & lavendar band is added | to the cap. The problem of graduation exer- cises in a school which is strictly non- coeducational, despite the fact that its dental hygienists’ department is open only to women, is successfully met by having the dental hygienists graduate with the nurses from the Georgetown University Hospital Training School. Neither does the Georgetown Uni- versity provide dormitory accommo- POTOMAG SGHOOL Announces the Opening of Its 33d Year Wednesday, September 30th Girls: Kindergar! through 8th Grade Boys: Kindergarten through 4th Grade Small classes in light, airy rooms, Playground sheltered and sunny.

They are, however, to live in homes, previously approved by Miss Cain, where residence is of- fered exclusively to women, although in cases of special request concerning hitherto uninvestigated quarters, the supervisor is quite willing to add them to authorized lists if circumstances so warrant. Whenbynquut!mflvenlpr- tial list of some of the subjects pur- sued by dental hygienists in their course of training, my respect for their fleld of knowledge, which had been great before, increased over 100 per cent. Here are some of them, selected at random from the various trimes- ters: Anatomy, chemistry, clinical assignments, physiology, sterilization technique, Bacteriology, nutrition and dietetics, anesthesia, sanitary science and public health, preventive dentistry, roentology, public speaking and many more, Miss Cain, the supervisor of the students in dental hygiene as well as thier class room leeturer, feels that their grounding in tooth-brush tech- nique and proper office routine are important, as well as their training in voice control and speaking poise, since it is important that they be able to go out as convincing expo- nents of preventive dental measures. Public Better Informed. “More and more through wise teaching,” says Miss Cain, “is the general public coming to & realization of the connection existing between the proper care of the teeth, & balanced diet, and sanitation as a triology re- sulting in better health for the in- dividual.” From the background of her own training and practical experience, Miss | Cain belleves in stressing the value of objective training for dental hy- glenists, In pursuance of this policy, each pupil in the training course which she supervises is required to keep a dental health scrap book in which she collects graded material pertain- into her fleld. All of the dental hygienists partici- pate, too, in the assembling and set- ting up of such projects as health villages and portable theaters wherein either puppets dressed as vegetables or large paper slides show the health habits of people in many lands. ‘Toward commencement time, emu- lation runs high in the writing of health plays wherein each character represents & health habit. Often these are acted out before juvenile audiences borrowed from nearby ele- mentary schools. ' Such reactions as these are not in- {frequent, so delighted parents tell Miss Cain: “Oh, daddy, the puppets said, “let- CHARLOTTE HALL SCHOOL 1774 For Men in the Making 1936 An sceredited. nen-sectarian, military el sehool 1r.
