Sir: In reply to the department’s instruction No. 145, of the 8th instant, I have the honor to state that I have been informed by my dentist—an Englishman, a holder of a British diploma, who has been practicing here for several years—that foreigners desiring to practice dentistry in Greece must undergo examination and pay certain fees. In his case the examination was conducted in French and the fees amounted to about 400 drachmas (francs). Foreign medical diplomas are not accepted generally in Greece.

I have, etc.,

John B. Jackson.
