Everyone Welcome SPECIAL ANNO UNCEMENT i the year 1919, the ýOntario Legislature passed an Act known as "THE OPTOMETRY ACT 0F 1919" which requires of ail those enter- ing the prof eseion ýof Optometry certain education- ai qualifications and subsequently one thousand hours of study in a school of Optometry recog- nized by the Governm ent and final examinations. For those in practice prior to the Act pro- vision was made whereby a Board of Examiners appointed by the Government are empowered to grant to the practitioners Whom they consider worthy a certificate to continue in practice without further examination. A short time ago the Board decided to give to the exempt practitioners an opportunîty to take the Standard Examination and 'if successfuil to receive from them a Standard Certificate which absolutely proves their.effiiency and gives them a higher standing. Out of the hundreds practicing in 0rýtario only a f ew tried this examination-and fifty of the candidates were successful. It gives us pleasure to announce that our Mr. R. M. lVttchell is one of the fifty, and the only Optometrist from Bowman- ville trying and passing the Government Examina- tion. R. M. Mitchell'& Co.
