Seldom now does a student have an opportunity to enter a profes sional school who has not proven he is good material for the area chosen. Then after the better and best high school graduates matriculate in a uni versity for a profession and are gradu ated by thoroughly trained professors and specialists there seems little or no chance to make an error in allowing them to automatically become registered practicioners. Some where there is a discrepancy when a university’s approval is chal lenged by a board and its product re fused privilege to practice his studied and achieved area simply because he needed three or four points in 9ome one subject or area of the examination. Too many trained people are needed today for “examinations” to rule them out es pecially after universities have put their stamp of approval upon them. Maybe it’s time to write a new chap er in the book of requirements in North Carolina to practice what one has pre pared himself to do and others have said he is worthy and has been so discharged into his career by his training peers. it. but those comfortable oyster beds in the business world were always scarce, and they are getting scarcer all the time.
