the Board for examination and pay a fee of twenty ($20.00) dollars
for the first examination and twenty ($20.00) dolllars for each subse-
quent examination, which in no case shall be refunded. At the next reg-
ular meeting he shall present himself for examination and produce
his diploma from some dental college in good standing, of which
standing the Board shall be the judges, also satisfactory evidence
showing that the applicant is of good moral character. The Board
shall give the applicant such an elementary, practical examination
as to thoroughly test his fitness for the practice and include therein the
subjects of anatomy, physiology, chemistry, materia medica, thera-
peutics, metallurgy, histology, pathology, and operative, surgical
and mechanical dentistry ; and the applicant shall be required to
demonstrate his skill in operative and mechanical dentistry. If the
applicant successfully passes the examination, he shall be registered
by the Board as a licensed dentist, and supplied with the certificate
of registration signed by all members of the Board of Dental
Examiners.
Provided that any dentist who has been in legal practice in
another state having and maintaining an equal standard of laws reg-
ulating the practice of dentistry with this state, for five years or
more and is a reputable dentist of good moral character, and is
desirous of removing to this state and deposits in person with the
Board of Dental Examiners a certificate from the Examining
Board of the state in which he is registered, certifying to the fact
of his registration and that he is of good moral character and pro-
fessional attainments, and upon payment of a fee of fifty ($50.00)
dollars may, at the discretion of the Board, be granted a license to
])ractice in this State without further theoretical examination.

may revoke the license of any one who, with intent to deceive the
public, shall practise dentistry under an assumed name or where
it shall be shown that the holder of such license is not of good, moral
and upright character. It shall be no defense for a person prosecuted
for practising dentistry under one name, without a license, that he
shall have been licensed under a different name, unless it shall be
shown that such practice was without intent to defraud or deceive.
