Every examination in the basic sciences of anatomy, physiology, chemistry, bacteriology, and pathology (practical laboratory demonstrations excepted) shall be conducted in writing, and both questions and answers shall be permanently filed in a secure manner together with the other proceedings of the board of examiners.

art.

An applicant who is reported by the board of examiners as qualified in the said basic sciences and who is entitled to a license by reciprocity, without examination, shall thereupon be given such a license. An applicant to practice drugless healing who is found qualified in the said basic sciences by the board of examiners and furnishes the Health Bureau satisfactory proof that he is a graduate of a school of that cult which has attained the standard for such school as established by the Health Bureau in the manner specified in § 24.4, may, if the Health Bureau deem it expedient, forthwith be licensed in that particular art of healing.
