The agar or gelatine cultures in Petri dishes may be obtained from the local 

 Board of Health or from any good druggist. These cultures are not difficult to 

 make, but take a number of hours' consecutive work, often difficult for the average 

 teacher to obtain. Full directions how to prepare these cultures will be found in 

 Hunter's Laboratory Problems in Civic Biology.
