UNIVERSITY LECTURES.
I attended a recent lecture in the University. Dr. Brown had gone to much trouble in preparing a most interesting? and technical address on the cosmic rays. But where were our leading citizens and those young men and women who are supposed to be burning with t a craving for knowledge? Auckland has always posed as tho mo.st "cultured" and knowledge-'loving city in the Dominion. Tt is deplorable that capable scientists as Dr. Brown and Professor Burbklge should time and again have their most fa®c : nating lectures so sparsely attended. And yet the Leader of the Opposition was most pathetic in his reference to the fact that our education should be free from kindergarten to University. I trust our professors will continue their highly educative lectures, and a little more encouragement would not be out of plnce. HERBERT MULVIHIIX.
