The next aspect of the subject to be considered is the organ- 
isation of research. It is essential that there should be a 
definite and carefully worked out plan. When every worker 
is left his own devices there will be inevitable waste of time 
and energy. A great deal has already been done in India in 
connection with the organisation of special research work, but 
much remains to be done, and we should not be satisfied until 
a smoothly working concern has been established on the best 
possible lines. 
At the same time there must be no attempt to dragoon or 
Prussianize research. Each worker must be free to express his 
own views without restraint, even if his opinions do not agree 
with those of the men who are directing him. There must be 
no cliques under the domination of a leader who is in a position 
to dictate to his workers. 
Every one who is employed in a research institute must 
have a reasonable amount of leisure at his disposal just as the 
teachers in the great universities have and it must be under- 
stood that credit will be given not only for the work that is 
the benefits of directed organisation and of untramelled re- 
search, or in other words there will be team work without con- 
verting the members of the team into hacks. hs
