CANCER RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIP.

WELLINGTON, January 24. The Minister of Public- Health, referring to a proposal to establish a New Zealand research scholarship in connection with cancer, said that, without depreciation of the possibilities of New (Zealand students,it appeared to him that the establishing of research in such a hidden disease as cancer in a small country like this was not likely to attain the value secured by the work that was being done, in Great Britain, where so large a number of men of experience and high scientific attainments wero V studying the question. In New Zealand, efforts had been made to co-ordinate the public health service with the British Medical Association, and some time ago a request was made to the association to devote its attention to the preparation of material for publication dealing with cancer in New Zealand. The department, undertook that all tissues and other .chemical material forwarded by the medical practitioners for pathological examination would be treated by the department. Tho Minister added that the death rate from tuberculosis in New Zealand had fallen from 16 per 10,000 of the. population in 1875 to 6£ in 1915. and/ the death rate from cancer had steadily risen from 2 per 10.000 in 1875 to 8-9 in 1915.
