10 THE BUREAU OF SCIENCE 



Bureau since that date, was appointed Director, Bureau of 

 Science, on January 22, 1914. 



The work of the Bureau has continued along the lines outlined 

 in my preceding reports, so it seems unnecessary to go into 

 details in this report. Miscellaneous questions will be treated 

 under the discussion of the department of the Bureau to which 

 they chiefly refer. However, I desire especially to express my 

 appreciation of the cooperation and the devotion to their work 

 of our scientists, who have made possible our great accomplish- 

 ments in the .face of many adverse circumstances. 



BIOLOGICAL LABOKATORY 



Personnel. — Dr. E. L. Walker, chief of the biological labora- 

 tory, who went on leave in June, 1914, has resigned to accept 

 a position as associate professor of tropical diseases in the 

 Hooper Institute at San Francisco, and Dr. M. A. Barber has 

 been promoted to his place. Dr. D. G. Willets, who went on 

 leave in December, 1913, resigned to accept a position as tech-

 Mr. Ariston M. Guzman returned from leave in the United States 

 on July 21, 1914. The position rendered vacant by the resig- 

 nation of Mr. Porter D. Leaky in the Philippine General Hospital 

 laboratory was filled by the assignment of Mr. Theodore Bolanes, 

 an assistant in the routine laboratory. The resignation of 

 Mr. Bolanes was accepted on August 4, 1914, and Mr. L. D. 

 McMillan was dropped owing to legislative action. A temporary 

 assistant who resigned has not been replaced. Dr. Liborio 

 Gomez was transferred to the Bureau of Constabulary in Au- 

 gust, 1913, and Dr. J. D. Jungmann was appointed as assistant 

 in the laboratory and assumed his duties in the same month. 

 The latter was assigned to duty in the clinical laboratory of 

 the Philippine General Hospital. One routine assistant was 

 summarily dismissed for cause. 



ROUTINE WORK 



Owing to resignations, the courses heretofore given by mem- 

 bers of the staff on protozoology and medical entomology in 

 the College of Medicine and Surgery of the University of the 

 Philippines are no longer conducted. At present the scheduled 

 course on immunity is given in the Graduate School of Tropical 

 Medicine and Public Health. 



The outbreak of cholera caused a large increase in the amount 

 of work performed in the routine laboratory and necessitated 

 the employment of additional assistants. The Bureau has had 

 the services of Hospital Sergeant Edward Theurick, United
