" The object of this society is to encourage the use of the mi- 

 croscope in the public schools." 



The society exists mostly on paper. A great obstacle to prog- 

 ress is the fact that members do not own microscopes. Being 

 teachers, their microscopes are things of the future, which will 

 probably never come to most of them. Society was originally 

 organized from a class (the first taking that work) in wt biological 

 training," Michigan State Normal School.
