The majority of such positions is found in the field, not in the departments at Washington, but former reports have shown them as "Departmental," following the civil-service rule referred to. In this report an effort has been made to limit "Departmental" to its original meaning, showing field-service examinations under a separate heading, hence the apparent great discrepancy in the "Departmental" figures as compared with those of previous reports. 2 The large increase in field-service figures for 1913 is due to the inclusions of navy-yard artisans' positions to the number of about 16,000 in the competitive classified service.
