THE TIME FOR RESEARCH [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, May 18. At the meeting of the New Zealand Institute to-day, the chairman, Professor Segar, in his opening address, referred tc the losses sustained during the year by the scientific world, mentioning particularly the death of Sir Donald Ross. He said that in times of stress other nations turned to education and research, but in New Zealand, apparently, there was, unfortunately, a tendency to deplete severely tho resources of education and research. Research, he added, was not a luxury to be indulged in when times were prosperous. It was necessity to he most insisted upon when it was most difficult to provide means. If faith in intellect as an investment was what it ought to be, research would not be the first cause to suffer.
