residence of such person to be registered in a book kept by it for that pur-
pose, and shall issue to such person a certificate of registration, as evidence
of his eligibility to practice dentistry, signed by the officers of the Board
and sealed with its official seal, which certificate shall also state the name
of the person to whom issued, and the date of such issuance.

to any person who has been graduated and admitted to the degree of Doctor
of Dental Surgery or equivalent degree by any university or college incor-
porated and authorized to grant such degree by the laws of the United
States, or any of its territories, districts or possessions, or by the laws of
any State of the United States, and who has been duly registered and
licensed to practice dentistry by a Board of Dental Examiners created and
existing under the laws of the United States, or any of its territories, dis-
tricts or possessions, or under the laws of any State of the United States.

Students of dentistry at a recognized college of dentistry who have com-
pleted their third year of study, and who may be certified by the dean of the
college at which they are in attendance as having satisfactorily completed
certain subjects which are included in the examination given by the Board,
may on application be admitted by said Board to its regular, examination
upon such subjects, and upon passing such examination shall be deemed
to have absolved the requirements of the Board in such subjects.

This section is constitutional. Word " may " in fifth line, construed must. Appli-
cants only to be examined on their qualifications for practicing dentistry. This sec-
tion does not create an arbitrary classification. Indictment valid. State v. Knowles.
