"Frankfort-on-]\Iain, Prussia, IMarch 9, 1912.
"The practice of dentistr}- is open in
Prussia. Prussia to anyone who pays the required
fee, and causes his name to be inscribed
in the Gewerbe-Register (Industrial Register).
"Formerly, academic titles conferred by foreign institutions of
learning were pretty generally recognized, but since 1897 the situ-
ation is as follows
"According to a decree of April 7. 1897, foreigners residing in
Prussia cannot, make use of an academic title conferred by an insti-
tution outside of the German Empire, unless special permission has
been obtained from the Prussian Ministry for Religious, Educa-
tional, and Medical AfTairs. This decree did not apply to titles
conferred before that date. There are consequently a number of
American dentists here, established before 1897, who are allowed to
make use of titles conferred on them by American dental schools.
"At present, an American dentist can practise here after in-
scribing his name in the Gewerbe-Register, but he cannot call him-
self Zahnarzt unless he has obtained permission from the Prussian
Ministry in Berlin. In the local directory, dentists who have re-
ceived their degrees in Germany are classed as Zahnaerzte (dent-
ists), whereas those who have been prepared abroad are called
Zahnheilkundige—approbiert im Ausland (Skilled in dentistry
examined abroad).
"There are a considerable number of American dentists at
Frankfort, and it is doubtful if there is much opportunit}^ here for
young dentists, unless they should be taken into some well-estab-
lished office. In some of the smaller German cities there are still
good opportunities for American dentists."

"Bucharest, Roumania.
"The dentist in Roumania applies for a
Roumania. license to practise under the Roumanian
Sanitary Law, which provides for the
licensure of physicians, dentists, veterinarians, pharmacists, and
midwives. The authority of the Minister of the Interior, published
in the official Monitor, is necessary. The right to practise the above
professions is given to possessors of academic degrees granted by
schools in Roumania, and holders of degrees and diplomas bestowed
by foreign faculties upon Roumanian subjects; similar rights are
granted to persons born in the country (not citizens) who have re-
ceived their secondary education in Roumania.
"Persons possessing foreign diplomas must, in order to obtain
the right to practise, first pass an examination. Only those persons
who hold diplomas deemed equivalent to those provided for accord-
ing to the law on instruction, are admitted to take the examination.
