this State unless such person shall have first received a certificate of qualifi-
cation from the board of examiners provided for in section 269, for the
purpose of examining applicants for certificates of qualification as barbers.
The said board of examiners shall appoint the time and places for holding
examinations. Such appointment shall be made with due regard to the con-

shall prescribe the mode and manner of conducting such examinations,
said state board to conduct examinations, or said board may designate a
sub-board to conduct such examinations. Said board of examiners is author-
ized to incur all expense necessary to carry out, in a prompt and efficient

board of examiners shall not incur any expense or obligation for which the
State of Maryland shall be liable.
