THE CIVIL SERVICE: A GLORIOUS CAREER

Honored fathers and mothers of the splendid Song Empire:

Your sons may still be playing with the toys of babies, but surely you have already considered how you may best guide them to a destination that can guarantee honor and wealth for your family. That destination is the Civil Service.

As you gaze upon your son’s shining face, are you not filled with the vision of his future achievement? If you desire for your son a career in the glorious Civil Service–And who would not?–you must start preparations at once.

It is for you that the Directorate of Civil Service Examinations has compiled this guide to securing a post in the Civil Service.
