The first reel shows scenes of the native haunts of the slime molds, and sev- eral types of fruiting bodies, the breaking open of a spore, the release of a colorless, flagellated swarm cell, which swims around at first, but later loses its flagella and be- comes amoeboid. In the second reel, the large mass of protoplasm moves about in search of food. This movement by reversi- ble streaming of the protoplasmic 'network' as well as the "peristaltic' wave in the ad- vancing edge, where digestion takes place, is . . . shown."

Close-ups show the reproductive tips, the 'branches' of sperm-sacs within, the bursting of these sacs and the releasing of the individual sperm cells whose lashing cilia drive them rapidly through the water. Likewise is shown the development of the egg through successive divisions from a single cell, its release from the egg-sac, its dramatic fertilization by the sperm, and the final growth of the new plant till maturity is reached and the Life Cycle once more begins."

It introduces the child to the wonderful field of microscopic organisms and shows that most of the bac- teria are as harmless as buttercups and daisies. . . Presents the essential facts about the way in which bacteria are grown and handled in the laboratory. The three typical shapes of bacteria—coccus, bacillus and spirillum—are . . . demonstrated. Size comparisons that appeal to the child-mind make plain the extreme minuteness of bac- teria." Producer "An excellent picture for schools, show- ing elementary facts and methods in bac- teriology."

"This film covers three hundred years of progress in public health and medicine. It reveals Van Leeuwenhoek, the first man to see micro-organisms through a micro- scope; Pasteur, with his new way of killing germs by heat and fighting other germs with vaccines. Lister demonstrates the third means of destroying germs—carbolic spray. We then see the discoverer of the tubercle bacillus and the cholera germ, Robert Koch. Emile Von Behrlng is shown saving the first human being by diphtheria antitoxin. The film returns to a scene pic- turing a modern baby being immunized to diphtheria and ends on a note of optimism in the battle against disease."
