Abstract
The study of bacteriology is frequently not included in the high school science curriculum and often, when it is taught, it is dealt with in only a superficial manner. There are various reasons for this. Very often high school science instructors lack training in courses relating to bacteriology and consequently, feel inadequate to handle the topic with their students. Another factor rests with the fact that bacteria are difficult to study without the aid or microscopes with high power objectives. Many high schools lack this equipment. A third factor is that some parents may feel that it may be dangerous for pupils to work experimentally with bacteria since they think of bacteria as associated with disease; however since non-pathogenic organisms can be used, this produces no hazard. Another factor often considered is the hesitation on the part of administrative heads of the school in providing the facilities for the study of bacteria.
