Excerpt from The Mouth and Teeth

This work is inscribed to my much esteemed friends, whose timely counsel and kindly advice made possible my professional career:

Dr. Black was regarded-and stood pre-eminently highest as one of the greatest authorities on Dental and Medical Education. As an educator he had no equal in the dental profession. His works are eagerly read and consulted with by the profession, and the laity as well. The following is an extract from a letter by the Professor of January 21, 1911, in which he replied to the author's request as to the prospects of advocating this book to be used as a text-book in the public schools:

"I am very decidedly of the opinion that if our children could be taught to take proper personal care of their own teeth, that teaching would do more good than can be done by all the doctors in Christendom."
