BACTERIOLOGY AND ITS RELATION TO OTHER SCIENCES 113 



chemistry, and particularly in organic chemistry. Unless the 

 physiological chemist is also a bacteriologist, his interest will be 

 in the field of animal or plant physiology. The chemist must 

 have sufficient training in bacteriology to enable him to appre- 

 ciate its many sided problems and, unless he can rely on some 

 one else, who is competent, he must be familiar with bac- 

 teriological technique. On the other hand, the bacteriologist 

 is required to be well enough trained in the principles of chem- 

 istry, and especially organic and physiological chemistry, to master 

 the situations that are sure to confront him. Thorough co-opera- 

 tion between the bacteriologist and well-trained chemist may at 

 times be a possible solution, but the two will, as a rule, not 

 have the same interests. 



Bacteriology is still in its infancy. Numerous phases of 

 applied bacteriology have been developed with amazing rapidi- 

 ty, and have led to many and important discoveries; but 

 bacteriology as a science among other sciences is just beginning 

 to emerge from its peculiarly chaotic state, and promises to offer 

 him who approaches it with the right spirit and preparation a 

 most fertile field for study and investigation.
