PRACTICE OF DENTISTRY.
Drs. r. II. Jones, @. J. Kinkead, 9.
| r. Jeiferis, Walter 0. Stack and w. U.
Speakman came here yesterday in be-
half of the House bill providing that
all dental practitioners in this State
| shall submit to and satisfactorily pass |
an examination before the State Board |
of Dental Examiners.
Members of the Legislature profess |
to believe that the advocates OF the bill |
are attempting to compel q Dover |
woman to cease practicing dentistry.
The said practitioner is not a graduate
of dental college, but, as her friends
remark, she picked up the business. !"
Some years ago, it is said, Dover
dentist adopted her, and, at his death,
she obtained his property. including
his dental instruments. Under his in
structions, sho had learned dentistry.
and, since his death, she has supported
herself by extensively engaging in the
profession. She has won the sympathy
Of the legislators, and the bill, If it is
not amended so Us to exempt Della
ware S present dental practitioners, will
doubtless be reported unfagorably.
Commi tteemen. a few days ago, amended
the bill in this manner, but, IT -
alleged, some yil.disposed person stole
the amendment.
