DENTAL LAWS CONDENSED.

However, I certainly suggest that no professional man should
come to Mexico unless he is in a comparatively good financial
position."
"Tangier, Morocco, March 22, 1912.
"Owing to the regime of extra terri-
Morocco. torialty existing in Morocco (by which
all matters legal or otherwise, appertain-
ing to the subjects of foreign powers resident in Morocco, are
left to the regulation of the nation of which the person is a sub-
ject) there are no qualifications required for the practice of den-
tistry in this country. A certificate of graduation, however,
would become indispensable to any person desiring to practise
dentistry here, as otherwise the confidence of this community
would be entirely lacking, and this would result in a serious
hindrance to the establishment of a practice among the best
classes of the population.
"There is undoubtedly a demand for a qualified dentist at
the present time in Morocco."
NOTE.—As we are about to go to press we learn that a treaty has just
been signed in Paris by the Sultan of Morocco, making Morocco a Pro-
tectorate of France. Under these circumstances it is probable that the
French Dental Law will be enforced in Morocco.

"Nassau, New Providence I., November i, 191 1.
"There are no laws governing the prac-
New Providence I. tice of dentistry in Nassau. With a pop-
ulation of about 14,000, of whom about
9000 are negroes, and two dentists in regular practice in the city,
there hardly seems to be room for more, though American den-
tists sometimes come here for the winter season and seem to get
a fair amount of work.
"No special qualifications are needed for practice here and
no license is required. Diplomas from American colleges or uni-
versities of good standing, are highly regarded."

"Auckland, New Zealand, ^larch 14, 1912.
"The Dental College of the University
New Zealand. of Pennsylvania is well known in New
Zealand, and a diploma from that and
similar institutions of equal merit would be considered equivalent
to a degree in dental surgery of the University of New Zealand.
The city of Auckland is well supplied with dentists, including one
prominent American establishment which has a branch in Well-
ington, and several other practitioners who were educated in den-
tistry at the University of Pennsylvania. I know of no particular
opening.
