THE OSLO BREAKFAST [To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.]
Sin,—I was interested to read Sir William Beach Thomas' reference, in your issue of 7th instant, to the " Schiotz Breakfast," introduced by Dr. Johan Brun (Director of the Municipal Dental School Clinics) into the schools in Oslo. The results have been marvellous ; the incidence of dental decay and inflammatory gum conditions have been very
markedly lessened. • I have, frequently, talked with. Dr. Brun on this subject (the last time as recently as three months ago) and am firmly convineed that a vigorouS race, replete with sound teeth, is being reared in Oslo. Also; the children are taught the importance of thorough mastication of all food. Artistically decorated tables play their part in developing the child-mind, while well educated, cultured teachers supervise the meals. Thus, good table manners are acquired and the importance of clean habits is stressed. Much more could be written, but suffice to say that surely the results obtained by Brun seem to justify the 'adoption in this country of the Oslo principles Glasgow, IF. 2.
