Rhonda Branch 16 .ljj .Z E DENTIST MY COUSIN ENCOURAGES YOUNG PEOPLE TO TAKE UP DENTISTRY kkkkkkk To be a successful dentist takes many long years of hard study. During training, you must be able to spend at least thirty- five hours a week in class, lab, and clinic. The minimum educa- tional requirements are two years of pre-dental college and four years in a professional dental school. If you are interested, dentis- try offers many rewards. To see a person come to you in pain and leave your office as good as new boosts your morale. Mosts den- tists today have set up practice but to do so you must be a bus- iness man as well as a man of knowledge. As far as income is concerned, the average dentist earns from 513,000 to 520,000 per year. Jayne Krugman
