DENTAL EXAMINERS MEET.
The Kansas state board of dental exam
liners met in the office of DR.. S. S Noble in
this city, April %, at $50 a. m for the pur-
pose of examining all persons who are not
graduates of dental college and who de-
sire to practice dentistry in this state. An
to the dental law, enacted this
last session of the legislature, permits
this examination in lieu of a diploma.
1t provides that the board of examiners
shall fairly and impartially inquire into
the qualifications with reference to their
knowledge of practical dentistry.
There were ten applicants present The
board compared with several like boards
Of other states the questions asked,
and cut out the theoretical ques
lions. There was necessarily large
OF questions asked, because we
must, in justice to all. cover reasonably
well the whole subject of dentistry. Every
thing except the knowledge of such por-
tons of dental science as should be known
by every well qualified dentist was elimi-
mated
OF the ten applicants, one retired when
less than half way through, saying that
he knew he was not competent and ought
not to pass; that would not have much
for the board if they did grant him
a certificate when he knew no more than
he did
OF the other nine, two received full GER
having passed the required
standard. Namely: G. c. Jones, OF
Marion, and \. NJ. Nye, of Topeka.
Those who received second grade GER
which permits them to practice
dentistry until the next meeting of the
board which will be held in Topeka, Sept.
2S. 1891, at 9 a. M, when they will be re-
auired to come before the board again and
be re-examined, and if they fail to make
FIRST grade they will not be further licensed,
are as follows: T. H. Creditor of Wichita,
c. w. Brandenburg. j. ID. Neff, II VI.
DOYLE, L. f. Kirk patrick. c. D. Day.
Taking all the questions asked, if all cor
rectlv answered, would have entitled the
applicant TO 1860. The board only required
,35 out of that number for a first grade
certificate Mr. Jones obtained 9315s, or
205Is more than the board required.
The highest marking for any one receiv-
ing second grade certificate was c. W.
who received 635I. Next
c d. Day 493 next j d. Neff 40, next l.
II. Creditor. who received 1925. There
was intense interest manifested through
out the whole examination.
