TEACHING BIOLOGY.
CONDITIONS AT UNIVERSITY.
CRITICISM BY AMERICAN (Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The biology sections conducted at the four University colleges in New Zealand were condemned to-day by Mr A. J. Eames (professor of botany at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York). Dr. Eames, with his wife, has been on an extended tour of the Dominion, and has made a close stucly of conditions in the universities here.
Although lie knew when lie arrived at Auckland last month that the biology sections at the Dominion universities were inadequately equipped it came as a minor shock to him to find coitcTitions as bad as they were said Dr. Eames. More room and more staff were essential if biology work was to be carried out efficiently, he declared. As' things were now in New Zealand the men whose job it was to teach biology were badly handicapped. They had no opportunity to carry out necessary research because the staffs were numerically weak and the duties of the stall's were too lieavv.
