2 eon OF THE University of Maryland Dental School J. BEN ROBINSON D.D.S., SC.D., F.A,C.D. The servant is worthy of his liire. ' ' Thei-e is no excellence without great labor. The recent dental graduate cannot do competent dental woi ' k in such vohnne as to produce large linancial returns in his early years in practice. The patient can judge your attitudes, liut he can ' t judge accurately your professional skills. No articulator ever made a good set of dentures: it is the man behind the articulator who does the job. Both parties to a contract must profit in order to ensure an ethical transaction. lutelleetual honi-sty and moral courage are essential characteristics of tlie successful professional man. If selling in the dental office implies a i)rofit motive, don ' t sell : if selling in the dental offices implies a service motive, it is entirely justifiable.
