The influence of applied bacteriology is extending rapidly, and while formerly the science of microorganisms was chiefly confined to the medical field, it has become of vast industrial importance. The gigantic interests of fermentation industries, of the dairy, of agriculture, of municipal sanitation, and of water purification are largely controlled by bacteriologists. A knowledge of the principles of bacteriology is becoming more and more desirable to the student of general science, and teachers of domestic science in some institutions are required to take an elementary course. The second edition of this laboratory guide has been revised and enlarged with the view of meeting modern requirements. The first edition was devoted chiefly to medical bacteriology. This has been partly rewritten, and in addition courses in general bacteriology, in the bacteriology of water, in the bacteriology of milk, in soil bacteriology, and a course on molds, yeasts, and acetic-acid bacteria have been outlined. This change of plan necessitated an entirely new arrangement of the material. The preparation of culture media, of stains, etc., has been incorporated in a separate part, and reference to this part is made at the beginning of each special part. The course in the bacteriology of water is calculated to be combined with the physical, chemical, and microscopic examination, the student being thus prepared for sanitary water analysis.
