At the Annual Meeting of the National Dental Association held in Washington in 1912 a California delegation, headed by Dr. Frank L. Platt, extended an invitation to the Association to hold its 1915 meeting in San Francisco in conjunction with the PanamaPacific Dental Congress. This invitation was unanimously accepted. Dr. Platt assured us that every provision would be made to make the Congress one of the greatest in dental history. He promised unequalled facilities for meetings, clinics, exhibits and hotel accom modations. That the committee has more than fulfilled its promise is demonstrated by the excellent program arranged and by the reports from many different sources. San Francisco will be the Mecca for all the scientific, civic, religious, fraternal, educational, industrial and professional associations. No less than eight hundred and twenty-two congresses, conventions and conferences will meet during the Exposition. To provide for the convenience and accommodation for these gatherings, San Francisco has built one of the greatest auditoriums in the World, the main hall seating 12,000 and numerous other halls seating from 500 to 1500 each. With such accommodations a great Congress can carry on all its many departments and interests in the most satisfactory manner. To fully appreciate the scope of the Panama-Pacific Dental Congress, one has only to look at the official announcement of Congresses to see that the Dental Congress will be one of the most important. Every branch of our profession will be given ample time to present and consider its particular work. Among the organizations making up the Congress are the International Dental Federation, National Association, National Association of Dental Examiners, Assocation of Dental Faculties, American Association of Orthodontists, Delta Sigma Delta, Psi Omega, and Ti Psi Phi Fraternities, and the State Dental Societies of the Pacific Coast. Surely this Congress should appeal to every progressive dentist! The officers and committees in charge of this great undertaking have labored hard for three years to make it & notable success. do you propose to help them? How While distance and time may prevent many from from attending, there is nothing to prevent you from becoming a member, in this way our far west colleagues will be supported and encouraged and you will profit by the association and the transactions. You know our profession has not been standing still for the past year, wonderful developments have taken place. You can not afford to drop behind. The transportation committee of the National Dental Association and the Congress have arranged a number of very attractive routes giving you an opportunity of traveling thru a country unequalled for beauty and grandeur. There awaits you at the Golden Gate that hospitality which has made California famous. Members from the North, South, East and Middle West, on to Frisco! DONALD MACKAY GALLIE, THE JOURNAL OF THE NATIONAL DENTAL ASSOCIATION. This issue of the Journal of the National Dental Association, is the third copy under that title published; and the officers and committees of the National Dental As sociation, feel that they have put their hand to the plough and may not turn back. The success of the worth thus far of publishing our own Journal and our own proceedings is far greater than those who have carried on the work anticipated. When the Secretary of the National Dental Association and acting editor began this work, it was with some misgivings, as to the raising of the dues of the National Dental Association; for it takes money to properly publish a scientific Journal. The Board of Trustees and the Journal Committee, seeing the possibilities in this enterprise and realizing the desirability of having our Journal uniform from the first volume on, decided to adopt the name Journal |
