Nuffield Scholars Reluctant To Return
liU-N EJJIN, October 12. New Zealand doetors wlio went to England under Nuffield Awards to r'urther their studies were brealtmg their contracts and were not returning to this country, said Air. L. FarrerBrown, secretary of the Nuffield Foundation toda-y. This reluctanee of inedical scholars to return was one of the problems he was looking into on his yisit here.' " You are sending iirst-class young doctors to England; but tlie trouble is that they g-re not returning to this country," said Air. Farrer-Brown, who is touring New Zealand to study conditions in the constituted colleges of the University of New Zealand, and to see in what wav the Nuffield Poundation can assist researcli work m tliis country. The Nuffield Foundation, he said, aimed at bringing outstanding graduates from New Zealand to'" work in England, but the whole purposc of the sclieme was defeated if they did not return to play a big part in deyeloping researcli work in the- Dominion. The foundation, howbver, was unwilling to enforce contracts as it was feit that it would be a wrong niove to compel relifctant scholars to return.
