RESULTS OF VETERINARY EXAMINATIONS. 



Under the veterinary practice act, the examining board is re- 

 quired to meet at least twice a j^ear, which is as often as practical. 

 However, this makes it necessary for many veterinarians to wait 

 considerable time to qualify, and, according to law, they cannot en- 

 ter into practice until they have been registered. This difficulty 

 could be met by a clause providing for a temporary permit upon 

 presentation of proper credentials. Other changes, such as a reci- 

 procity clause and a clause providing that no person who has not 

 registered in accordance with the provisions of the original veterin- 

 ary practice act, shall be permitted to practice or represent them- 

 selves to be a veterinarian. 



Many inquiries have been received regarding credentials necessary 

 to qualify for examination under the veterinary practice act of the 

 state of Iowa. It seems many are led to believe that a course in a 

 veterinary correspondence school or even a few years' services with 

 a practicing veterinarian is all that is required. 



The veterinary examining board have adopted as a standard the 

 following list of colleges recognized by the Bureau of Animal Indus- 

 try, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, and which 

 is also accepted by most state veterinary examining boards :
