One of the most unusual dental clinic in New York, built especially for orphans and manned largely by dentists who were themselves once wards in that very institution, will be formally dedicated today (Sunday) at the Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum, 373 Ralph avenue.
Several thousand dollars have been expended for the rebuilding, enlargement, and re-equipment of the clinic, according to the executive director, Kings County Register Aaron L. Jacoby.
The dedication will take place at 11:30 a.m., with board members of the institution, dentists-in-charge, heads of dental societies, and members of the orphanage’s charity ball committee, headed by Jesse Baar, in attendance.
