HOUSEHOLD BACTERIOLOGY 



DISCUSSION PAPER 



This discussion paper, accompanying the lesson on Household Bac- 

 teriology, may be returned with answers to the questions and with any 

 suggestions and questions of your own. While the answering of these 

 questions is not absolutely necessary, a much greater benefit will be 

 derived if you give to others the benefit of your own experience. It will 

 also help us to understand your point of view. The lesson may be used 

 in the grange and in. the club where these subjects arc considered. 



1 . The exposure to dust, in open store-windows and in wagons, of fruit 

 and vegetables to be used later on the table is dangerous because the pro- 

 ducts collect on their surfaces germs that may be communicated to the 

 consumer. Would it not encourage care on the part of the seller if house- 

 wives objected to purchasing such provisions? Discuss.
