616.9-617.6 EDUCATIONAL ftlM CATALOG Story of Dr Jenner— Continued child is inside. He enters to help, but the child is dead. He walks through the town to the dairy whose workers, strangely, are immune, although sometimes affected by the mild disease of cowpox. While there, he notes that one of the town boys, whose hand had been cut, had an attack of cowpox. And, Jenner ponders, the boy had probably held the infected hand of his dairymaid sweetheart and thus un- knowingly saved himself from smallpox. Later, in the doctor's home, the widow fears for the health of her remaining child but is assured by the doctor that it is only stomach ache. Jenner determines to give the child cowpox and to do it by scratching the skin. He therefore takes the disease from the dairymaid's skin and vaccinates the child. Jenner offers free vaccinations to the townspeople, but is distrusted and his home is stoned. His announcement to the doctors of London is ridiculed, and he returns home. But the plague returns and many dead are again carried away. To test his theory of immunity, he in- jects smallpox germs into the widow's boy, previously vaccinated, and then keeps the boy under his own roof to note the results. Fearfully, during the ten-day period, he watches the boy, whose mother meanwhile has valiantly withstood the questioning of her neighbors. On the tenth day the mother tells where her son is. A group of neighbors march in a body to the doctor's home, determined to investi- gate. But Dr. Jenner appears in the door- way, the widow's healthy boy by his side. The shadow of the plague withdraws from the map. Recommended for general science classes in the junior and senior high school. Also of value for college courses in public health and health edu- cation." Advisory committee "An excellent film, well dramatized and beautifully photographed.

As the film opens a typical dentist. Dr. Jones, is shown in his office. He relates some of the facts about dentistry, explaining that it is a business as well as a profession The film then shows Bill Wilson, a high school graduate facing the problem of oc- cupational choice. He chooses dentistry, and as the first phase of his dental train- ing plans to take two years of academic studies in a recognized college. Complet- ing this training, he enters the dental col- lege. The Mm now shows in detail the various subjects studied in the first two years there, explaining that practical experience is gained by work in the college clinic during the student's junior and senior years. A considerable portion of the film is devoted to an explanation of the many subjects studied and the many different types of laboratory and clinical work which must be mastered. Then the film shows the seniors receiving their diplomas. After a State Board examination, the new dentists enter private practice. As the film concludes, the narrator visits Bill Wilson, who we hear has now been in practice for four years. Bill expresses his satisfaction with his chosen career.
