Graduation exercises were held last week, at which "certificates of progress" were given to parents and "certificates of service" were given to children.

These unthinkable populations are held in check, however, by competition, lack of food, poisons, etc. At a moderate estimate, 30 trillions of bacteria are excreted from one human body each day. Yet these 30 trillions weigh, on the average, only two ounces. The biggest known microbe is the bacillus...
