It has proved too easy for numerous applicants to iret Oinmni licenses to practice when they have had very little lmsic trnin- ing and know practically nothing of anatomy, physiology, nnd other subjects considered essential If the practitioner is to properly safeguard public health. Since it is impossible for the lay public to know tho tvne or extent of training enjoyed by those who have licenses to practico any curative art in Oregon, tho state must public against incompetence and ignoranco by requiring cer tain examinations and slamlimls of education. It's a con sideration that is vitally important to the stato as a whole ana one Hint has had too little attention in the past in many instances. As a public we havo been too much inclined to take it for granted that anyone seeking a license to practice some curative method was equipped for tho job.
