REGISTRATION OF DENTISTS
The Attorney General moved the first read-
ubjects and reasous for the Dill are as follows:
The object is to protect the public against the practice of dentistry by unqualified persons. The Bill accordingly declares what shall qualify for the practice of dentistry in Hongkong and requires all persons an qualified to be registered before practising. In order to prevent evasion. of the Ordinance by the formation of companies of unqualified persons to carry on dental prac lice the Bill makes it unlawful for a company to practise dentistry except by means of muna- gers, assistants, and persous who are duty gistered dentists. The 5th section of the will applies only to the carrying on by com panies of dental practice. It does not apply to the carrying on of the purely mechanical por. facture, sale, and repair of inerchanical ple tion of a dentist's business, such as the manu-
auces. The Bill applies to existing as well as future companies, and to companies limited by guarantee as well as to ordinaty joint stock companies.
