Wednesday morning Doctor Freu-
deuberger gave a scholarly and fin
ished address to the students in the
assembly room of the new high school
building. Bacteriology was his sub
ject. The doctor introduced his sub
ject by giving a history of the devel-
opment of bacteriology since about
thirty-five years ago. He also touch
ed upon some of the ancient theories
of life, such as the theory of spon-
taneous life which was believed by
the ancient Greeks. In an entertain
ing way he told how that theory was
exploded by experiments breeding
maggots from flies. He said that
the different kinds of microbes, germs
and parasites belong to the vegeta-
BILE kingdom and come under the sub
division of flowerless plants. AS the
doctor proceeded with his lecture he
] passed around among the students
many cultures illustrating his re-
marks. He also made drawings on
/ the blackboard to elucidate some of
the more difficult and abstruse por-
/ tions OF his subject. He made it a
/ point to explain scientific terms to
bring his address within the COM
/ Iprehenson of his hearers. He said
/ he thought that the students would
probably like to know the difference
between contagious and infectious di-
seases. and briefly remarked that the
difference is about the same as the
I difference between tweedle-dee and
| ltweedle-dum, One of the most inter-
esting parts of the doctors lecture
was the discussion of antitoNin in its
wonderful use to prevent diphtheria
