TRAINING IN DENTAL SCHOOLS
VISITOR PRAISES SYSTEM IN OTAGO The good practical training which students receive at the dental school of the Otago University has given the institution a very favourable reputation in Australia, according to Mr G. Lyons, a prominent dentist of Hobart, Tasmania, who was a passenger on the Maunganui yesterday. Mr Lyons expressed the conviction that its training was superior to that of Sydney and Melbourne universities, and said he sent his son to Otago where he received the training which has now established him in practice in Hobart. In an interview, Mr Lyons said the course at the Australian universities was mainly theoretical. At the school in Otago a good deal of practical dental work was done and those who studied there were eagerly sought for the profession in Australia. The Otago school, he said, was recognized as having one of the best practical courses in the Empire. “I have had a first-hand knowledge of the courses in both Australia and the Dominion and can definitely say that Otago produces the more practical men,” he said. .
