The successful candidates represented 41 per cent. of those who presented them- selves for examination, and 86 per erat. of them had performed their qualifying sa service as apprentices, cadets or midshipmen.

Since the examinations for motor certificates were instituted, in 1917, 337 candidates hav been successful in obtaining motor certi ficates or motor endorsements.

The proportion of failures in the examinations in 1994, tak- ing all the grades together, was 60 per cent, or slightly less than in the previous year. Of the successful candidates for mas- ters, mates or engineers certificates, five wers foreigners. During the five years 1918-90, the average was 35, and. prior to that period, the number of aliens granted British tickets was abont 70 per annum, a fact which points to the present operation of methods of exclusion not previously enforced. Un- der the existent regulations an alien may not be examined for a certificate as master, mate or engineer or as skipper or second hand of Ashing craft, unles he served during the war as master, chief officer or chief engineer of a Britial ship or as skipper or second hand of a British fishing boat, and even in suche case, he must be certified by the Ad- miretly as having performed good and Faithful service.
