Man’s desire to elljoy health and happiness been'the basis and beginning of many wizard’s, fakirs and un^rupulous Quacks to ply their trade.' Medicine, however, as it is known today, dates bMk only a few years, and during that time of its evolu- i tion it contained many superstitions and prejudices. Many good and j worthy^ ideas and practices have been ' tried to be introduced time alter time, i only to find the door of. medical in- 'telligence lock^ and bolted. Ad- I mittance has been gained only through the untfring efforts of think- jing men-and women. And this medi- j cal profe.ssion is unexcelled in its i martyrs to its cause. About a century ago dentistry “knocked at the door of medicine and found the door locked and bolted.’’ It is true, however, that dentistry was advocated and practiced for the most part by very poorly educated and unscrupulous persons—but so was medicine. Dental intelligence appealed to medical intelligence, and was so completely rebuffed that it was necessary to form, a different profession. Today it is: still a debat able subject as to whether it is a good or necessary Wrangement to There Ar^jhaVe dentistry set up as a separate South Carolina ^ard of Dental Ex aminers has gently passed new re quirements and laws governing the practice ^ dentistry in our state. What the profession is trying to do, is to elevate itself from a trade jto a jjrofession. It needs the co-opewt- tibn of its own n^embers, and also those of the medical profession.

Most of the major universi ties have a dental school just as they have medical schools. As Jate as 1910, however, entrance requirements ■ for’dental .school were less than a high school diploma, and the complete dental course required only three years, eight nv>nths each in most states. Whereas, upon en tering medical schooL at that time, the entrance requirement was defi nitely a high school (diploma), and. in some states a two-year pce-medieal course was required. Thus showing advanced progress medicine had over dentistry, as far as entrance require ments were concerned. Now, showing the stfiady progres- sbn that dentistry has made in the last few years, 1 cite that today in the United States a dental student Medical aid “Wttr~ contin administered by Dr. St. Clair Hays, who at present is taking a leave of absence, and is succeeded by Dr. Del- mar O. Rhame who dally ministers to the ill at the school now. The e.Htablishment of the infirmary marks another advance for Presbyte rian College. It is a part of the col lege that has long been needed, and that is welcomed with joy by both students and.faculty. Its addition to the school makes P, C. the most ade quately and completely equipped small college in the state—no part of the students’ life not being ef fectively cared, for. Continuing through this spring the medical .services at the college will be the san>e as tlwy have been in the past.

These last requiremenCs are being made this year in all den tal schools, and have at least and dental graduate on a par with the medical graduate, far aa their pro* fessional training status .is concerned. The cause of this prolonged train ing as far as the dental student is concerned is this: As I have said be- forey_dentL8iJXl>eK»nJHtlyjKLn-i^^ of relief, and as a .beauty aid. No knowledge was then known of the re lation of dentistry to“ systeihatib ills. 'The medicos did not even realize that fact thfiiu however, it was medicine and not dentistry that discovered that the mouth is a source of infection. 'This completely revolutionized the whole dental and medical relation. Out of this grew the fact that the dentists’ must surely face the facts, and begin to better their education and traiamg. High school coiases were not enough. The stud^ of bi- (riogy, anatomy, physics and chemis try were only the banning. The use of the X-Ray, anasthesia, and al ways newer electrical devices as a means of medical and dental gid were being invente<f, thus causing more study and careful training on the part of the dental profession. And now, the educational stai^ards for the study of dentistry are begiiiQ ning to he given a higher rating.
