BILL FOR REGULATING
DENTISTRY PRACTICE
Amendment Proposed to Present Law
Placing District on Equal Footing
With States and Territories.

A bill for the further regulating Of
the practice of dentistry in the Dis
trict of Columbia has been approved by
Commissioner Mcfarland who recon-
mends the matter be brought TO the i'm
mediate attention of Congress, with a
view to favorable legislation. The bill
was drafted by the District of Column
bla Dental Society. and proposes to
strike out the proviso in former act
which exempts from examination all
persons holding a diploma from any
dental college requiring a three-years
course of study. The committee on
legislation Of the Dental Society says. in
a communication to the Commissioners:
The effect of the enactment of this
bth would be to require the local board
or dental examiners to examine all APP
plicants for registration as dentists,
whether graduates or non-graduates
The committee decides that at present il
would endeavor only to effect the
change proposed by the bill, which
would put the District of Columbia
somewhat on a par with other states
and Territories as regards dental iesls-
lation.
''At present all the States and Terri
tories, including Cuba, Porto Rlco, ana
the Philippines. and excepting lndian
Territory and Alaska. have more strin-
gent dental requirements than the Dis
trict of Columbi in that the most len
lent Of state dental laws requires those
admitted to registration without exam
nation as to qualifications to be grad
yates Of reputable dental colleges OF
recognized standing, while the DlStrlcl
law exempts from examination all grad
yates of dental colleges which reqlure
three years course of study Without
any requirements as to the character OF
the college.
