The bulk of the administrative work in the Crown Colonies and the Dependencies falls on the boulders of a/Constabulary Service which is, in effect, a military service, with various judicial and ad ministrative duties added to the solcndra work. To enter this service a young man must have a University degree or some special scientife attainment, or have a commission in the Regular Army, the Territorials, or the Special Reserve. He usually puts in a period of training at a R.1.C. depot in Ireland, and then goes out to a Colony with £250 a year salary On duty he has quarters provided, but not rations or service. Beginning with £950 a year, he progresses by annual in crements of £15 a year up to £400 a year. Then after ten years' service, if he has qualified for a higher gratie,, he, pro- grosses by £50 a year up to £500 a year. This is the limit in the average man's
