REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
DISCUSS LEGISLATION.
Kansas Opticians viii Ask For a
State Board.


State Board.
Shall Kansas have optical legisla-
tion2 is the subject of the question
that appears on the programme for dis
cussiOn this afternoon at the second
annual convention Of the Kansas State
Association Of Opticians.
Kansas has no laws regulating the
business of the treatment of the eyes
and Of fitting glasses and under exist
ing circumstances any one may practice
without being thoroughly qualified.
Some states have taken the matter up
and legislation has placed the matter in
the hands of a state board whose duty
it is to examine every optician, before
granting a license to practice in the
state. The Kansas Association Of OPP
tcians are planning to ask the Kansas
legislature to pass a bill imposing the
same regulations upon the opticians as
is imposed upon physicians practicing in
the state as regards examination, etc.
