DescriptionYoung women in class of dental hygienist wear long white robes or dusters over their street clothes. Some wear white high-buttoned shoes. In one photograph, they pose for a group portrait, with three young men, presumably the instructors. In the other photograph, the women and men are in a classroom equipped with dentists' chairs and tables with dental instruments. Electric lights hang from the ceiling. A poster on the rear wall reads: "EFFECTS OF DECAYED TEETH / PROGRESS IN SCHOOL[S]",
