76 The number of students in each of^thl three years, together with the amount of work performed, shows a regular increase. The importance of the clinics in the training of the students cannot be overestimated; indeed, they constitute the life of the Department and are, therefore, carefully guarded in every respect. This training on the living subject is a form of education peculiar to dental colleges, and originated with the first college established in this country in 1839. Its value as a means of professional education has been thoroughly established, and any change is neither looked for or desired. COURSE OF INSTRUCTION, SESSIONS 1889-90 TO 1891-92. Length of session, seven months—from October 1st to May 1st Lectures on Mechanical Dentistry ,, „ . . ' Operative r " „ * , hours each week.
77 This was greatly in excess of normal development; and while satisfactory in a financial sense was otherwise in an educational, as it strained the facilities of the Department to the utmost. The training of a Dental student requires personal and direct supervision, mere didactic teaching will not avail, hence the system adopted demands a large corps of Demonstrators, a force very difficult to secure and to hold. The decrease in students at the beginning of the Three-Years' Course was not as great in the attendance upon the first year as had been anticipatedthe number of sixty-two in the Freshmen class means, at the expiration of the three years, a combined class fully equal to that of 1890-91. If this increase continues in direct proportion, and there seems no reason to question it, the possibility of successfully managing it with our present facilities seems more than doubtful. . Changes in the course of study were made necessary by the extension to three years, and it was decided to adopt the following I OUTLINE OF THE COURSE, SESSION 1891-92. First Year. The F irst Year students will be required to attend the following branches and pass final examination upon Materia Medica, Chemistry, and Histology, at the close of the term. If the student fail to pass, a second examination is afforded him at the beginning of the nfxt Winter Session. 1. Chemistry, in the Chemical Laboratory, three hours Thursday morning, and the lectures on this branch Monday and Tuesday of each week. 2. Dental Materia Medica. One lecture. Saturday of each week. 3. General and Special Histology, in the Histological Laboratory, two hours, and Anatomical Demonstrations one hour each week. 4. The morning hours not otherwise occupied will be devoted to practical work in the- Mechanical Laboratory. 5. On the afternoon of each week-day, except Saturday, the students of the First Year Class will be trained in Operative work, either out of the mouth on extracted teeth or in simple cavities in the living subject. 6. They will, in addition to subjects named, attend lectures on Anatomy, Physiology, Operative and Mechanical Chemistry.
