    Table 49. The following Statement shows the Length of Service of the Attendants on the 31st of December 1884, Period of Service. Male. Female. Total. Under 1 year 8 5 13 Above 1 year and under 2 years - 9 6 15 „ 2 years 3 „ - 3 6 9 » 3 >5 yy 4 „ - 4 3 7 „ 4 yy 5 „ - I 1 2 „ 5 yy 10 „ - 6 2 8 „ 10 5* yy 15 „ - 17 3 20 „ 15 >> yy 20 „ - 19 4 23 „ 20 yy - - , 7 —- 7 74 30 104 One of the chief reasons why fewer changes occur amongst the men than amongst the women is that the men are retained in the service after their marriage, provided they obtain leave to marry, whilst marriage usually, although not always, leads to the retirement of women from the service. It will be seen by the foregoing figures, that 66 per cent, of the male attendants have been in the service more than five years, whilst 58 per cent, have been in the service for periods above ten years. Of the female attendants 30 per cent, count above five years’ service, whilst 23 per cent, count above ten years. Leave of absence for the day is granted every ninth day ; and, in addition* every attendant has a holiday of ten days annually.
