As a member of the state senate of Massachusetts and later as secretary of the State Board of Education, lVIann labored assiduously to bring about an educational revival. Campaign after campaign was organized to arouse public interest and to develop an intelligent conception of the functions of public schools. Mann believed that the welfare of the state depends directly on the moral and social efficiency of its citizens. To provide such eiiiciency, there must be a system of public education which is free to all the people in the state and which is so organized that it will reach all those who need it. The schools must be non- sectarian. There must be adequate buildings and equipment for doing eliicient work. The teachers must be well trained. Emphasis should be laid, both in the curriculum and in the methods of teaching, on the practical needs of the pupils. Gradually the ideas of Horace Mann and those who worked with him spread to other states, and we have come into heritage of their labors. JULIUS BORAAS. WILLIAM BENSON GEORGE O. BERG J.

Ewosmowr Home Economics Chemistry German, History Voice LOUIS PASTEUR HE first man to realize the significance of micro-organisms in the economy of Nature was the French scientist, Louis Pasteur. His fundamental contribu- tions gave birth to the science of bacteriology and paved the way for the introduc- tion of those antiseptic methods in surgery, which have made thousands of sufferers bless his name. He carried on a ceaseless battle against the forces of Nature hostile to man. His discoveries created the science of immunology, which revolutionized the traditions of nineteenth century medical practice and inspired medical scientists of the twenti- eth century to renewed efforts in their respective fields of investigation. Today all civilized nations proclaim with gratitude the remarkable progress of modern medicine, a progress which originated with the man whose life was dedi- cated to the task of serving humanity. Pasteur's work inaugurated a modern renais- sance in the interest of health and sanitation unequaled in any period of the past. E. O. ELLINGSON. Bomavllavn FARSJE OLE G. FELLAND NILS FLATEN PETER E.
