When you feel assured that, from a health standpoint, a child is unfit
to do school work, send him home and as soon as possible thereafter
consult with his mother as to his health, giving advice only when you
see that his parents are ignorant or neglectful.
In the matter of the care of the mouth and teeth, give instruction as to
the age a child should be when the several kinds of permanent teeth
appear. Name the causes of decay of teeth and show children how to use
their tooth brushes to the best advantage.
