In the past, children were treated by the dentist at school. On february 4th the log book says:

The Dentist started treating the children today - fillings only - children attend separately at Annexe when required.

On February 10th:

20 children had teeth extracted today, 12 noon - 2pm.

16 children had teeth pulled out on the 11th, 6 more on the 12th, 1 on the 13th "without gas" and finally, on February 14th:

5 children had extractions today 7 1 was treated at the Cottage Hospital.

It doesn't say whet the last unfortunate child was treayed for!
