REGULATIONS RESPECTING EXAMINATIONS
UNDER "THE CIVIL SERVICE ACT, 1866."

1. No person can enter the Civil Service as a pro-
   probationer, or as a subordinate of the fifth class, unless
   he shall be of the full age of seventeen years, and
   not more than twenty-two years. The Board of
   Examiners may, however, examine candidates who
   are not younger than fifteen years.

2. Every candidate for examination must apply to
   be examined in a form to be prescribed by the Board,
   such application to be addressed to the Secretary,
   and to be accompanied by the following certifi-
   cates:-
   Age. Certificate from Registrar of Birth. Any
   person unable to procure such certificate to
   account for its non-production, and to prove
   his age by satisfactory evidence.
   Health. A certificate of health signed by some
   legally-qualified Medical Practitioner.
   Character. A certificate of general good con-
   duct from some Clergyman or Schoolmaster.

3. The examination shall be divided into two
   branches, the one qualifying for appointment, the
   other qualifying for promotion to any class above
   the fourth. One branch shall be called the JUNIOR

EXAMINATION and the other branch shall be called
the SENIOR EXAMINATION.

4. Every candidate must pass the Junior Examina-
   tion (see section 9) before he shall be eligible for any
   appointment in the Civil Service. Exceptions:-
   (1.) Any candidate who shall have passed the
   annual examinations by the New Zealand
   University shall be considered as eligible for
   appointment in the Civil Service: Provided
   that the Civil Service Examination Board is
   satisfied that the candidate has passed in all
   the subjects required by the Civil Service
   Regulations, and that a certificate to that
   effect is given in each case.
   (2.) A degree in any University cited in Statutes
   VII., VIII., and IX. of the New Zealand
   University (viz. Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow,
   Aberdeen, St. Andrews, Edinburgh, Dublin,
   Durham, London, Queen's University of Ire-
   land, Sydney, or Melbourne) shall enable the
   recipient to enter the Civil Service of New
   Zealand without further examination.

5. Every person appointed under these Regulations
   must pass the Senior Examination (see section 10)
   before he shall be eligible for promotion to any class
   above the fourth.

6. The Board shall have power, subject to the
   Governor's approval, to vary the optional subjects,
   and to frame such further rules for the conduct of
   examinations as they may deem fit, due notice of
   which shall be published in the New Zealand Gazette.

7. Every candidate must pass a certain standard
   of proficiency, to be fixed by the Board of Examiners.
   The Board, in publishing the result of examinations,
   shall classify the successful candidates according to
   merit; but the examination is not competitive for
   office, the Government being entitled to select any
   successful candidate for appointment at its discretion.

8. Examinations shall be held at such times and
