Departmental Examinations.

As a further step in the direction of increasing opportunities for promotion in the service, it has now been decided that any member of Division II. who passes the Senior Examination, will be considered as having qualified for promotion to Division I. in so far as the subjects taken by him are concerned. It will, of course, be necessary for him to pass a test in telegraph operating, balancing station accounts and pricing out stores, etc., to comply with the requirements of the Regulation. The Officer-in-Charge of the Railway Correspondence School expects to commence the course of tuition for the Senior Examination at an early date.
