DENTAL SCHOOL APPEALS TO KEEP NEWSBOYS' CLINIC OPEN

An urgent appeal by L. S. Minor, dean of the Harvard Dental School, to maintain the free medical clinics of the Burroughs Newsboys' Foundation was made yesterday.

Examinations conducted last year of 2023 newsboys, bootblacks, peddlers, and messengers, revealed that three out of five needed dental extractions, and that there was an average of three cavities per boy.

Volunteer work by Boston doctors and dentists makes the Foundation's work possible, but since there is a lack of funds for this winter's work, many functions of the organization, such as nutrition classes, have been stopped.
