BUSINESS MEETING.
The board afterwards held business
meeting. and adopted the following:
After an existence 81 nine years. with
the experience dcriy d from It's work In
cIIrying out the laws governing the prac-
tice Of pharmacy in the State and In
conducting the exam nation OF candidates
for registration during that period. the
State Board Of Pharmacy feels 1t incum-
bent to emphasize 10 the profession at
large the necessity fer higher educational
qualifications amongst apprentices. Pa
rents and guardians are too prone 10 look
upon the drug business az one 10 when
they may safely encourage their sons and
boys under their care to enter ana loorn'
purely on account OF its commercial as
pect. but overlook It's professional re-
qur .rnents. and the fact that a wel-quali-
fed pharmacist occupies a position In
tho community in which he lives OF great
responsibility aud ons which should COM
mand the respect OF his people.
In order therefore, that the lcontiatcs
Of this state Board shall IN the future
be able To show that they are well quail
fed to occupy and IN the position de-
manded from them as thus t forth, 1t
Is hereby resolved and ordered:
