REVIEW OF DENTISTRY. 259

the Chairman may appoint a special examiner for each subdivis-
ion of part 3.
4th. In the fourth part the candidate is to be examined orally,
in the presence of the chairman, by at least three examiners, one
of whom must be a practicing dentist, in the Anatomy, Physiol-
ogy, Pathology and Dietetics of the teeth, about diseases of the
teeth and gums, about the preparation and effects of dental rem-
edies, and about the indications calling for application of the
different Dental Operations. This part of the examination is
conducted publicly.
Sec. VI. The questions, and the patients, for the different
parts of the examination are not to be assigned to the candidate

until the beginning of each part. Between the different parts of
the examination no longer time, as a rule, than eight days is
allowed. At the conclusion of each part of the examination, the
examiners are obliged to submit their reports without delay to
the Chairman. If a candidate does not fully pass in any one of
the three first parts, he has the choice, as far as circumstances
permit, whether to proceed with the examination in the other
parts at once or wait until he has completed the part not fully
passed. To the fourth part of the examination only those are
admitted who have passed in the first three sections.
Sec. VII. As to the results of the examination, a special
mark is entered against each part by the exclusive use of the
terms: "Very good (i); Good (2); Satisfactory (3); Unsatisfac-
tory (4); Poor (5). For the second part, a mark is entered
against the science by the respective examiner in that science.
Each single part of the examination is considered as "passed"
only when at least both branches are marked "satisfactory." By
the six marks obtained in the different parts, the mark for the
entire part is determined according to the rule prescribed in Sec-
tion IX. In the third part a mark is entered against each subdivis-
ion and the "section mark" is determined by adding the figures of
each mark and dividing the sum total by two, fractions not con-
sidered. For the fourth part of the examination, the result is
determined upon the basis of the total result of the examination
in this section, by a majority resolution of the members of the
Committee who have taken part in same, including the Chairman.
In case of a tie, the vote of the Chairman decides the question.
If only one of the members of the Committee casts his vote for
the mark "Poor," or if two or more of them cast their votes for
