GIRL BACTERIOLOGIST.
"An insurance for the consumer" is the formidable description Miss Margaret Dann, Bachelor of Agricultural Science, ogives of herself to explain just what her position as bacteriologist to a big local dairy in Australia is. Miss Dann was appointed to the position three weeks ago and is the first girl to receive such an appointment in Victoria. She is a Melbourne University graduate and got through her agricultural science course with honours and an exhibition or two and then worked for a time in the Dairy Products Research Laboratory in the Veterinary School. Now her job is to control the production of milk and butter from the bacteriological point of view, "an insurance," she says, "that the consumer gets the. type of product the dairy promises." When she has a little time to spare from looking out for germs she will give occasional lectures to school children at public health centres and give demonstrations, too, in her laboratory. I don't know what the cows think about this supervision of their product, says an Australian writer, but it is one that will find favour with, families.
