" A hundred a year as a scholarship for a research student i& not worth looking at; i't is totally inadequate, and should be increased to at least twice that amount," said the Hon. G. M. Thomson at a meeting of the Board of Science and Art in Wellington, when dealing with Sir Frank 'Heath's report. A student, he added, was often Avorse off at the end of his term of a scholarship than he was before (reports the Post), and he often had no opening ahead. The inevitable result was the loss to New Zealand of many skilled researchers whdse activities might have been well employed in New Zealand.
