CHAPTER XIV.
EXAMINATION IN THE FAR EAST.
Regulations Differ from Those in the United States
—Mounted Men in the Island Force.
The Civil Service regulations for the Postal Service in the Philippine Islands vary considerably from those for the United States. There is only one examination—that of letter carrier. Carriers are divided into two classes, mounted and unmounted. The entrance salary of an unmounted carrier is $360. The higher classes are filled by promotion. All the carriers must furnish their own uniforms, as in the United States, while the mounted carriers must provide their own conveyances. Both conveyances and uniforms are subject to inspection and must be approved by the Director of Posts.
