EXAMINATION OF EMPLOYEES IN PUBLIC PARKS.

their varying requirements and treaiment. The chemistry of the soil 

 also deserves greater study, some candidates giving oxygen, nitrogen, 

 mildew, and moss as examples of the constituents of plant ash found 

 in soils. 



It is hoped that candidates low in the list will not be dis- 

 heartened, but encouraged, by the greater success of their fellows, to 

 work on to higher places next year. With so encouraging a report 

 as only nine actual failures there is every hope for those who have 

 only won a third class to work up to the second, and the seconds up 

 to the first class. And with patient endeavour and careful observation, 

 coupled with intelligent inquiry into the reasons and causes for what 

 is done and observed during the coming season, much progress should 

 be made ■ and useful knowledge stored up in readiness not only for 

 the next Examination, in January 1911, but to be put into practice 

 during the whole of life's work. 



It should perhaps be put on record that there is absolutely no 

 difference of merit whatsoever in being placed in Division A or in 

 Division B. A first Class in one is as good as a first Class in the other. 

 The two Divisions are only kept up for the convenience of certain 

 public authorities. -
