TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1887.

For the cause that lacks assistance, For the WTong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the good that we can do.

The Council of the Auckland Univer sity College, as the guardians of Auck* land's interest in the higher educational institutions of the colonj r, ought not to remain indifferent to the clamour which is being made in many quarters for an attack upon the vote for higher educa tion. This cry is thoughtlessly echoed even in Auckland by financial reformers whose zeal for retrenchment is quite out of proportion to their knowledge 'of what they are talking about. Many of those who shout exultantly "Cutdown the vote for higher education " are not aware that, literally interpreted, they are simply asking for the abolition of the Auckland University College and the Girls' High School, while Canterbury and Otago remain possessed of the advantages which we, in our self-abne gation, deprive ourselves of. The mat ter stands thus : When the Provincial Councils obtained possession of the. rich lands of the Crown, mainly situ ated in the South Island — for the Maoris held the North—the Provincial Councils of Otago and Canterbury set apart large endowments for Universities and other educational purposes. The wealth derived from these sources enabled the controlling bodies to erect palatial buildings, to endow profes sorial chairs, and to set up their Universities on a scale of magnificence that became the envy of the North. If an Auckland scholar wished to pursue his studies through a University course, he must go South. This un equal condition was tolerated with a marvellous amount of patience for a long time, but it could not go on for ever. The starved North began to growl, and to manifest such signs of discontent that the South at last thought it wiser to throw a small bone our way rather than run the risk of having its own rich bones snatched away. And so the vote for Auckland University College was passed. Every effort to get our College placed on the same footing as those of Otago and Canterbury, however, has failed, and the University interestsof Auckland are entirely at the mercy of the Parlia mentary majority, except so far as Parliament itself is controlled by the engagements that have been entered into on the faith of its guarantee, and which it is morally and legally bound to fulfil.

"Oh but," says the financial re former, " we mean to throw the Otago and Canterbury endowments into a common fund for the purposes of education." This is very easy to pro pose, but not quite so easy to perform. -Otago has secured its University College in a variety of ways. First there is the endowment, and an endowment is not very easily diverted from its original purpose when a strong party are determined to maintain the •local'advantage which has been gained. On this question Otago and Canter bury would unite as one man. Then there are the costly buildings; these are always reckoned a very good guarantee of permamency. But to clinch all, the Otago professors are appointed for life, and the colony must go on.pay ing them whether they make use of their services or not. It is hardly necessary to say more .in order to show that whatever attack is made upon tire expenditure for University education in New Zealand, the Univer sities of Canterbury and Otago will remain. What, however, is the position of Auckland ? The vote placed ou the Estimates has to run the gauntlet of hostile criticism from a number of Southern members every time that the^ get a chance at it. Year after year, when there was no outcry for retrenchment,they resolutely refused a vote for buildings, and would be glad of an excuse for withdrawing

from Auckland the concessions that were made through fear and not through love. The only guarantees we have that our College will not go down in the financial storm are the engagements of the professors • and two of these expjre very shortly. Self preservation is a law of nature, and it would be a judicious step to renew these agreements for a reasonable terra. We may pretty well gauge the sincerity of the demand for econo mical administration when it is ap plied locally by the senseless agitation in Wellington for a tower s and clock upon the new Post-office. Auck land had to pay for its own town clock, and still pays for keeping it lighted and going. But Wellington has so long used the whole colony as its own particular milch cow that even this local convenience must be paid for out of the public purse. Coming back to the question of the Auckland Uni versity College, however, we sincerely trust that the Council will "take some steps to counteract the movement that is jeopardising the existence of the institution, which is now doing excellent work. The professors have shown a commendable readiness to adapt their methods to the circum stances of the city, and by the scien tific lectures to teachers, the evening lectures to artisans, the establishment of a School of Applied Science, and their assistance to the mining in dustry, they are doing good practical work. We do not believe in life ap pointments such as those which obtain in England and Otago—they usually result in careless work andotherabuses, butaguaranteeof security of tenure such as is afforded by an engagement for a reasonable term encourages a man to throw his whole heart into his work, while it secures a systematic and consis tent course of study. We understand that the Council have the subject now under their consideration, and we hope they will adopt the plan which will most effectually secure to our city the advantages which were only gained after a protracted struggle.

QUACK DOCTORS IN SYDNEY.

" Mostly fools " would seem to be as true a definition of colonial communities as of those Old World populations who are some times pityingly referred to as being far behind the people of these new. lands in the matter of freedom from superstition, charlatanry, and hum bug . generally. The recent excite ment in Sydney over the discovery that many grossly ignorant men were prac tising medicine, and passing themselves off as qualified doctors, is more than justified by the revelations made before a select com mittee of the Legislative Assembly. From the evidence, reported at length in the Sydney newspapers, it is shown how men with American diplomas, forged diplomas, and no diplomas at all got on the medical register, and obtained full privilege and protection to practise the healing art upon suffering humanity. The special beauty ,of these revelations is that the " quacki" themselves were made to give the story of how they obtained their medical knowledge, how they diagnosed disease, and how they (some of them) retired on a. hand some fortune realised by cheir practice. Thus Mr William Moore, who calls himself a homcepathist, confessed that he had never attended any college or school of medicine, but had been " connected with the cure of diseases since he was 12 years: old." He had also "practically studied medical clairvoyance, medical astrology, and any thing or system that had any repute in the cure of disease." In addition to all these occult quali fications he had received lessons, from another practitioner who had no legal qualifications, though "his uncle was a qualified man in Scotland." Moore asserted that, as the result of his researches in "medical clairvoyance" and the rest, he was able to detect in ternal cancer in the human system by micro scopically exdminingadrop of blood from the wrist of the patient. Though knowing nothing of anatomy and very little of physiology, he was the author of a pamphlet entitled "Alan, Know Thy self," had practised the healing art for 29 years, and he added (apparently with a feeling of honest pride) that he had now retired, and was "a comparatively wealthy man." It is scarcely necessary to adduce further instances. Ex v/no disce omnes. Some of these shame less quacks confessed that their real trades were those of coachman, gasfitterand painter; others did not deny that they had graduated as bailiff, pound-keeper, and Cor poration labourer, while yet another ad mitted that he was a shoemaker, and had left the "cure of soles" for the cure of bodies.

New South Wales is the typical "Free Trade Colony," and she appears to deserve the name because of the extraordinary amount of freedom which her laws give to medical quacks. As the "Sydney Morning Herald " remarks, the Medical Act is so defectively framed that any person may announce himself as an M.D., and pre (ix the title " Doctor " to his name on his door-plate or in advertisements. Coroners may call in an unqualified man to give evi dence at an inquest as a medical expert, and, as has happened in testified cases, the jury may pronounce upon the evidence of gross quackery. Any practitioner what ever may recover fees in the law courts, and once on the register of medical officers there is strong doubt whether anyone can be removed, no matter what his, state of ignorance may be. It would be amusing, were it nob so deplor able an es'idence of human gullibility, to recount how the. chief business of one medi cal firm in Sydney consisted in per suading people that they were ill; when they were really in good health, ;and giving them medicine to produce symptoms of disease, which they then undertooktocure. And it would bo instructive to see the ex periment carried on were it not that human lives are of greater value than a knowledge of the pathological value of the imagination or an insight into the many tunes that can be played by the " sharps " and " flats", of humanity. The state of th» law in New South Wales demands speedy amendment in the direction of protection to the public against designing" harpies, who (with shame be it confessed) have been successful in employing duly qualified doctors at times by oil'ering them LlO a week for their services in pre scribing. It is a pity to restrict "the liberty of the subject" in any way; but when the subject is an imbecile the Legis lature would fail in its duty if it did not protect him by limiting his free choice of doctors.

We publish to-night on our sixth page the first chapters of an interesting story from "Temple Bar," entitled "Her Journey." It will only extend through three or four issues, and will be continued nightly till the finish.
