There is nothing in the law preventing any M. D. from practicing dentistry whether he knows anything about dentistry or not.
And so might be mentioned other weak points in the law and the needs of better dental legislation in Ohio.
The present Board has, however, in the face of these discouraging features worked assiduously for the betterment of dentistry in Ohio.
During its three years of service 748 licenses have been issued. Of these 713 applicants were college graduates. Only eight candidates, who claimed to have been in practice prior to 1889, have been licensed, and these only after a thorough investigation.
Out of the 72 candidates for license by examination, only 27 were found qualified and passed.
During the three years the Board has brought many suits against illegal practitioners and has been the means of making more than one hundred of these close their offices.
The Board has at all times worked for the good of the profession in the state and has done its utmost to put down quackery and limit the number of incompetents.
It is to be hoped that a much better and greatly needed legislation will soon be enacted and thus place Ohio among the large number of states requiring thorough preparation and competency of the student of dentistry before he will be allowed to practice within its borders.

BOARD OF LIBRARY COMMISSIONERS.

THE BOARD OF LIBRARY COMMISSIONERS.
T HE Ohio State Library was established by Governor Thomas. Worthington in the year 1817. The general assembly which met December 2, 1816, appropriated $3,500.00 as a contingent fund for the Governor in 1817. In the summer of that year Governor Worthington visited eastern cities to investigate the management of state institutions. While in Philadelphia he determined to purchase a collection of books. for the establishment of a state library. On his return he authorized the fitting up of a room above the auditor's office, in the south end of the old state office building, then on High Street, immediately south of the avenue to the west entrance of the State House. He deposited therein the books he had selected -- 509 volumes-the beginning of the State Library. Most of these books are still in the library.
John L. Harper was the first librarian. Changes in this office were frequent till 1824, when Zachariah Mills was appointed. He served eighteen years.
In 1844, the library was placed under a commission consisting of the Governor, the Secretary of State and the State Librarian. The latter was appointed by the Governor. In April, 1896, the law was again changed and the entire management of the library was vested in a board of commissioners appointed by the Governor for a term of six years. They elect the librarian and all the assistants.
The State Library was open originally only to state officers and mem- bers of the general assembly. The regulations provided that "the librarian shall open accounts with the Governor, Secretary, Treasurer and Auditor of State, the Judges of the Supreme Court, and the members of the general assembly and their clerks." The privilege of drawing books. did not extend beyond the period the legislature was actually in session. As late as 1895 books were loaned only to "members and officers, and ex- members and ex-officers of the general assembly ; state officers, and clerks. in the several departments of the state government at Columbus, and ex-officers of the same ; the Judges of the Supreme Court, of the Supreme Court Commission, of the Circuit Court and the Common Pleas Court; officers and teachers of the benevolent institutions of the State, and of the State University ; officers of the Penitentiary ; widows of ex-members and ex-officers of the general assembly and of ex-state officers; and clergymen resident of Columbus.
Under such regulations the circulation of the library was, of course quite limited. In the long period since it was founded many valuable works have been placed on the shelves that were accessible to the general

public only for purposes of reference in the reading room of the library. These were sought by those who were engaged in the preparation of some literary work or in the study of some "special science or subject of art." The newspaper files were frequently consulted by editors and reporters. The books had a limited circulation among state officers and their families. Members of the legislature, as a rule, found themselves too busy to read. They made frequent use of the state documents kept in the library.
The first board of library commissioners under the Garfield Act of 1896 was appointed by the Governor in April of that year. The members were Rutherford P. Hayes, J. F. McGrew, and Charles A. Reynolds. One of the first acts of this board was to open the library to citizens of the state. The old distinctions in favor of state officials were in large measure removed. Citizens of the state who desire to draw books now do so by furnishing the library board a satisfactory guarantee, or by making appli- cation through their local library. Those living in distant parts of the state may borrow books by paying transportation both ways. The books are not sent out indiscriminately. Rare and valuable works are not issued for use outside of the library. Those in the circulating department, however, are issued freely on the same conditions to all citizens.
While it contains works in almost every department of, literature, the library is strongest in state publications, government documents, his- ttory and its related branches, bound periodicals, and newspaper files. In recent years a systematic effort has been made to add to the early liter- ature relating to the state. The work of collecting has necessarily been slow, but the very substantial progress already made warrants the hope that this may soon become the best reference library in the country in all things pertaining to Ohio.
There are at present (June 27, 1901) 73,209 bound volumes in the State Library. Of these 14,595 are in the
TRAVELING LIBRARY DEPARTMENT.
This department was organized in the summer of 1896. A travel- ing library is a collection of from twenty-five to thirty-five books sent «out by the State Library to a reading club, an association of citizens, a lboard of education or a public library, to be kept three months, with privilege of renewal.
The objects of the department are: I. To furnish good litera- ture to patrons. 2. To strengthen small libraries. 3. To create an interest in the establishment of new libraries.
On receipt of a request on the forms furnished by the State Li- "brary, properly filled and signed by the members of the club, the offi- «cers of a free public library, board of education, or other association,

the books will be shipped. The parties receiving the books must pay transportation both ways .? i
The conditions under which these libraries are issued are very simple. The organizations to which they are sent obligate themselves for their proper use and safe return. The system has proven very popular. Traveling libraries have been sent out as follows :
Prior to November 15, 1896, 2 Traveling Libraries. 50 Vols.
November 15, 1896, to November 15, 1897, 62 Traveling Libraries .. 1,331- Vols. November 15, 1897, to November 15, 1898, 379 Traveling Libraries .. 9,887 Vols. November 15, 1898, to November 15, 1899, 445 Traveling Libraries .. 12,812 Vols. November 15, 1899, to November 15, 1900, 711 Traveling Libraries .. 19,505 Vols.
This far in the present year (July, 1901) 419 traveling libraries have been sent out, and indications are that goo of these will have been issued by November 15, 1901.
NOTE -- Detailed history of the State Library has been written by William T. Coggeshall, John C. Tuthill, and C. B. Galbreath.

THE BOARD OF MEDICAL REGISTRATION AND EXAMINATION.
T HE law providing for the State Board of Medical Registration and Examination was passed on February 27, 1896 (Sections 4403c, d, e, f and g, Revised Statutes of Ohio).
The first Board was appointed by Governor Bushnell in March, 1896, and held its first session on March 25, 1896.
The Board consists of seven members representing the different schools of medicine in proportion to their numerical strength in the State, and the members are appointed by the Governor, each for a term of seven years.
The Secretary, who is made executive officer of the Board by the law, is not a member of the Board, but is elected each year by the Board. The law requires that the Secretary shall be a physician in good standing.
The purpose of this department is to regulate the practice of medi- cine, surgery and midwifery in the State of Ohio, and to protect the people of the state from illegal practitioners of the same.
The duties of the department consist of the registration of com- petent persons for the practice of medicine, surgery and midwifery, the regulation of medical colleges and the prosecution of illegal prac- titioners of medicine, surgery and midwifery.
The department is self-supporting, depending upon the fees col- lected from the examination and registration of physicians and mid- wives for its revenue.
The law of February 27, 1896, provided that the Board should issue certificates upon the basis of graduation from medical colleges recognized as in good standing by the Board. On April 14, 1900, an amendment to the law of February 27, 1896 (Sections 4403c-f, Revised Statutes of Ohio), was passed requiring that all applicants for registra- tion in the State of Ohio shall appear before the Board and pass an examination in Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Materia Medica and Therapeutics, Practice of Medicine, Practice of Surgery, Obstetrics, Pathology and such other subjects as the Board may require.
The fee for registration under the provisions of the law of February 27, 1896, was $5.00, and the fee for examination under the present law is $25.00.

THE STATE BOARD OF PARDONS.
CHARLES C. LEMERT. Secretary of the Board of Pardons.
C HARLES C. LEMERT was born October 19, 1865, in Licking County, Ohio. Was educated at the Ohio Normal University at Ada, Ohio. Admitted to the bar on March Ist, 1887. Elected City Solicitor of Ada in April, 1887, and resigned that fall to move to Kenton for the practice of law.

He was appointed by Governor Nash his Executive Clerk in January, 1900, and by virtue of that office is Secretary of the Ohio State Board of Pardons.
THE OHIO STATE BOARD OF PARDONS
Was created by an act of the General Assembly of Ohio, April 11, 1888. The act provided the Governor should nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, appoint four suitable persons having the qualifications of electors, two of whom should be appointed from each of the two leading political parties. Two of the members thereof, appointed from the same political party, should serve for one and three years respectively, and two members thereof, appointed from the other political party, should serve for two and four years, respectively ; and that thereafter the Governor in like manner should appoint a member
(373)
374
THE OHIO HUNDRED YEAR BOOK.
The State Board of Pardons.
of said board, of like qualifications and from the same political party as the member whom he succeeds, who shall serve for four years.
The act further provided that the Board should organize by elect- ing one of their number president, and it was made the duty of the executive clerk of the Governor to act as Secretary.
The Board meets regularly on the first Thursday after the second Monday in January, and on the same day every third month thereafter, and at such other times as they may deem necessary.
The Board has formulated rules for the guidance of the applicants, which, together with other blanks, can be secured from the Secretary, at the Governor's office.
All cases presented to the Board are heard by the entire Board, and the cases separately referred to some member of the Board for investigation, who makes a written report to the entire Board at its next meeting, when the report is adopted or rejected, and together with all other papers is transmitted 'to the Governor for his consideration.
The Board makes an annual written report to the Governor on the first Monday in December of each year, of its actions during the last. preceding year, its officers and members, and the names thereof, with a recommendation for such legislation as they think proper in order to carry out more fully the object and purposes of its creation.
Under the constitution and laws, the Governor cannot pass upon or grant a pardon until after the case has been submitted to the Board of Pardons, and passed upon by that body, except in cases specifically mentioned in the statutes.
The Board was created for the purpose of relieving the Governor of the task of examining manifold papers and documents, which con- sumed a large part of his time, to the detriment of other important public business:

THE BOARD OF PHARMACY.
O RIGINALLY created by act of the General Assembly, March, 1384. Purpose, to regulate the practice of pharmacy in the state of Ohio. Board consists of five members. Term, five years. The term of one member expires each year ( March 3Ist).
Appointment by the governor with consent of the Senate. The Ohio Pharmaceutical Association recommends each year five persons from which the governor may appoint one for the vacancy.
The principal executive officer is the secretary, whose office is at the capital.
This officer is a member of the board and is elected annually by the board.
All persons engaged in the practice of pharmacy in Ohio as propri- etors or managers of retail drug stores were registered without examina- tion as pharmacists and received certificates of such registration by reason of their being in such practice when the law was enacted. Those en- gaged as clerks or assistants under the same conditions were likewise reg- istered and received certificates as assistant pharmacists.
The limit within which any person could take advantage of this pro- vision was three months, and that limit expired in July, 1884. Subsequent to that date all persons are required to pass an examination in order. to secure a certificate of registration entitling them to practice pharmacy in Ohio.
