COMMISSIONS TO CHEMISTS.
"The procedure of not granting commissions to qualified pharmacists, as such, strictly follows the procedure of the Imperial Army, the rule being that soldiers holding civil qualifications in pharmacy must qualify in all corps examinations before receiving .promotion to non-commissioned rank," says Mr. James Allen, in reply to a point raised by Mr. A. H. Hindmarsh. " Commissions in the New Zealand Medical Corps are granted to qualified _ medical men, tho only exception being that the rank of honorary lieutenant and' quartermaster and honorary captain and quartermaster is given by selection on. account of merit and ability to non-commissioned officers who have passed all the corps examinations which include the subject of pharmacy. As it is considered advisable to adhere strictly to the above rules it is not possible to grant commissions to; chief dispensing chemists, as such."
