when going out into the world in
search of employment. but unusual
success awaited a young railroad man
when he walked from the Canon City
penitentiary, free man, this morn

with these difficulties, this particu-

ton and this afternoon he will begin
his new duties

He was as good as his word and

peared in the Denver papers. which
was unjust as well as inaccurate. 1t
being. that large majority of dent
fists at the meeting expressed them
selves as believing that a common
school education was sufficient as a
qualification for entrance TO a dental
college.
The present requirement for en-
trance to dental colleges is a full four
years course in an accredited high
school. or its equivalent In the heat
of discussion over DR.. Sharp's paper
some rank partisan made the asser-
tien that "a common school education
was all that was needed. but was
promptly hooted down. A full dis
cussion OF this subject would be OUT
OF place In these columns Suffice II
TO say that the requirements for en-
trance remain as they were and that
