HONG KONG, STRAITS SETTLEMENTS, AND FEDERATED MALAY STATES
CADETSHIPS.
1. With the view of supplying the Civil Service of Hong Kong, the Straits Settlements, and the Federated Malay States, Cadetships have been established, the holders of which are required to serve in either of the above mentioned Colonies or in the States, and to devote themselves for a certain time after their arrival in the Fast, to learning a native language. Cadets appointed to this service will in the first instance be allotted to the States or to one or other of the Colonies, and will, as a rule, look for promotion only in the States or in that Colony, but it must be distinctly understood that they will be liable to be transferred at any time from one to another, at the discretion of the Secretary of State, without being given compensation for any special local privileges or allowances.
2. The Cadets, who must be natural-born British subjects of European descent, are selected by open competitive examination* held by the Civil Service Commissioners, to whom inquiries on the subject should be addressed,
The examination for these appointments will, as a rule, be held in the month of August, in those years in which vacancies have occurred, simultaneously with the examination for the Civil Service of India. Candidates must be between the ages of† 22 and 24 on the first day of August in the year in which the examination is held.
3. The selected Candidates will be expected to leave England about a month after the results of the examination are announced.
* A separate paper is issued by the Civil Servios Commission, containing information in regard to the Examination.
↑ In reckoning age for competition, members of the Milina, the Imperial Yeomanry, the Honourable Artillery Company, or the Volunteers (whether commissioned or non- commissioned), may deduct from their actual age any time spent on actual military service in connection with the war in South Africa, such time being reckoned by the number of days for which they received Army Pay.
