§ 4. Said board of dental examiners shall make rules or regulations to establish a uniform and reasonable standard of educational requirements to be observed by dental schools, colleges, or dental departments of universities, and said board may determine the reputability of these by reference to their compliance with said rules or regulations.

The State board of dental examiners shall demand of all applicants for license to practice dentistry, evidence of preliminary education before they were admitted to reputable dental schools, colleges, or dental departments of reputable universities, and require satisfactory proof of the observance and enforcement of such preliminary educational requirements by said dental schools, colleges, or dental departments of univesities: Provided, that a certificate of admission, without conditions, to any colleges of liberal arts department of an accredited university, which demands not less than fifteen (15) high school units for admission, or the diploma of a high school or equivalent secondary school accredited by any state university requiring a course of not less than four years of attendance, and not less than fifteen (15) high school units of satisfactory work for graduation; or a certificate of having passed a satisfactory examination conducted, or approved by a committee on examinations herein provided for, acting in the State of Illinois, to the amount of fifteen (15) high school units in the studies embraced in a high school curriculum, shall be considered satisfactory evidence of preliminary education: And, provided, further that the superintendent of public instruction of the State of Illinois shall appoint a committee of three examiners, composed of educators of ability and reputation who shall be empowered to hold examinations of applicants for admission to dental schools, (under such regulations as he may prescribe) who have not regularly completed courses in secondary or high schools.

These examinations shall be held at stated periods and places in the city of Chicago, and elsewhere if desirable.

dental school which may desire to do so from establishing for admission a higher standard of preliminary education than is specified in this Act. 9. The said board shall charge each person applying to it for examination for a license to practice dentistry or dental surgery in this State, an examination fee of twenty dollars ($20.00) and in addition thereto a license fee of five dollars ($5.00) for every license or duplicate license issued by said board.

For their services, the members of the board shall each receive as compensation the sum of ten dollars ($10.00) for each day actually engaged in the duties of the office and all legitimate and necessary expenses incurred in attending the meetings of said board; provided, that the secretary of the board, for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this Act, shall receive a salary to be fixed by the board, instead of a per diem of ten dollars ($10.00).

Said board is hereby authorized to engage a suitable person or persons, to assist the board in the investigation of complaints filed with. said board against illegal practitioners or other violators of this Act.

The expenses of maintaining the board shall be paid from the State treasury upon vouchers signed by the secretary and president of the board, when properly approved in conformity to law, out of the funds accruing to the State treasury under the provisions of this Act, or such funds as are available for the payment of such accounts.

§ 11. Any dentist who has been lawfully licensed to practice in another state or territory which has and maintains a standard for the practice of dentistry or dental surgery equal to that now maintained in this State, and who has been lawfully and continuously engaged in the practice of dentistry for five years or more immediately before filing his application to practice in this State and who shall deposit in person with the secretary of the board, a duly attested certificate from the examining board of the state or territory in which he is registered, certifying to the fact of his registration and of his being a person of good moral character and of professional attainments, may, upon the payment of a fee of twenty-five [dollars] ($25.00) and after satisfactory practical examination demonstrating his proficiency, be granted a license to practice dentistry in this State, without being required to take an examination in theory. Provided, however, that no license shall be issued to any such applicant, unless the state or territory from which such certificate has been granted to such applicant shall have extended a like privilege to engage in the practice of dentistry within its own borders to dentists heretofore and hereafter licensed by this State, and removing to such other State; and provided further that the Illinois State board of dental examiners shall have power to enter into reciprocal relations with similar boards of other States whose laws are practically identical with the provisions of this Act.

character and known to the board of dental examiners of this State as such, who desires to change his or her residence to another state or territory, shall, upon application to the board of dental examiners, receive a certificate over the signature of the president and secretary of said board, and bearing its seal, which shall attest the facts above mentioned, and giving the date upon which he was registered and licensed.
