MEDICAL SCHOOLS
TEACHING STAFF PROBLEM (0.C.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. An induration that he considered the establishment of medical schools elsewhere in the Dominion to be out of the question until full use was made of the existing facilities in Dunedin was given by the Minister of Education, Mr. Mason, when invited to comment on suggestions that a medical school should be established in Auckland. "The shortage of teaching staff is at present the main difficulty at the Dunedin Medical School, and this arises through members of the staff being absent as medical officers with the forces," said Mr. Mason. "The first thing to be done in the way of improving facilities for medical education in New Zealand is clearjy to see that the Dunedin staff is strengthened. While we are unable to do that, it is futile to speak of other medical colleges."
