Examinations are conducted periodically by the Postmaster General for the issue of certificates of proficiency in wireless telegraphy and fees are charged for the examinations. The syllabus for similar examinations in the United Kingdom la closely followed in Hong Kong in order to retain reciprocal value for the certificates of proficiency issued. Recently the United Kingdom has adopted a new syllabus, one feature of which is that the examinations for both 1st and 2nd class certificates have been divided into two parts and a fee of £2 charged in respect of each part. It is intended to follow suit in this Colony and these regulations are to provide for the charging of approximately corresponding fees.
