It might be that some young and well trained bacteriologist could be engaged and by good fortune evince the qualities of a successful investigator, but this is a matter of chance and could not be predicated.
I would suggest that a bacteriologist, young, enthusiastic and well trained be engaged for the purpose of making the investigations desired and, in addition to this duty, have assigned to him the care of the local vaccine institution, the preparation of cultures required in the diagnosis of typhoid and Malta fever, the microscopical examination of morbid discharges and tissues and similar work which the existing medical staff may be unable to undertake and such as many of the research laboratories in this country perform.
I would further suggest that his services in this direction be made available to private medical practitioners in the Colony for a reasonable fee.
Such an arrangement would be a great public boon and would lighten the expenses of the necessary Laboratory. In the first instance, at all events, these expenses need not be great.
