STOCKHOLM, 5Y/3B3N.
The Technical High School.
Br. Sonden.
Br. Sonden is now very much occupied in teaching and administrative
work in connection with the Technical High School, hut he is still doing
a considerable amount of work on carbon dioxide in air as a ventilation
and hygiene problem. Last year, for example, he said he made several
thousands of these analyses with the Sonde'n apparatus, which is of course
very cumbersome, but he is doing little else in the shape of research.
We went out to the Technical High School and saw one of the most marvellous
buildings, with an architecture of very fine character, characteristic of
the newer spirit in Scandinavian architecture. Hvery detail in the building
is worthy of the most careful study. It is a veiy groat credit to Stockholm.
This is quite in line with the new city hall at Stockholm and also the
railroad depot in Helsingfors, Finland. The newer Scandinavian architecture,
as such, is well worth very close study.
The Karolinska Institute (Physiological Laboratory).
Professor Johansson.
Professor Johansson, formerly very much occupied with commissions and
administrative affairs, is now even more tied up in this work and has little
time for research, although he showed me a large number of protocols on
carbohydrate experiments that were roally of such fundamental importance I
urged upon him strongly that ho should get them out and publish them. In
these he has actually determined not only the carbon-dioxide production, as
formerly, but al30 the oxygen consumption. I talked with him about the
possibilities of his making a visit to America, but he states he is hoping
to write a Swedish physiology. At present there is no Swedish physiology.
They are all using physiologies of other countries, chiefly Germany» He
feels that there are Swedish expressions and it is just as important to have
