REVIEW OF DENTISTRY. 29

American Dental Association. Organized i860. Meets annu-
ally. Composed of delegates from state and local societies, each
society being entitled to one delegate for every five members, and
each delegate becoming a permanent member, if he so wishes, by
announcing his desire when presenting his credentials. If he
desires to remain but for the one session, he ceases to have any
connection with the association when that session adjourns. Such
delegates are required to bring credentials, showing that they are
appointed by their society; but after becoming permanent mem-
bers, no credentials are required. The permanent members of the
association each year organize themselves into sections, each mem-
ber of the association belonging to some one of the sections for the
work during the year. The reports of these sections are expect-
ed to be made up of whatever of importance on the different
subjects has been done during the year in the different state
and local organizations throughout the United States. The object
being to get a complete, but condensed, report of all important
work done by the profession during the year. (R. L. Polk &
