Untying problems related to the
health and development of chil-
dren under high school age. Most
of the study up to this point has
been done through lectures by vis-
iting experts, demonstrations, and
text-book study. Recently, Dr.

expert, examined the teeth of each
-indent in the NT Demonstration
school as a demonstration before
members of the workshop. Ac-
cording to Shands, one project of
the workshop during the six weeks

working conditions for the stu-
dents of the Blue Mound school,
located near Denton, through
changes in seating arrangement
and lighting Through the sum-
mer, the students will gain ex-
