No male higher clerical officers retired voluntarily, or were compulsorily retired, in my Department in the years 1922 and 1923. No male lower clerical officers retired voluntarily in 1922; in 1923 a percentage of 1.4 so retired. No male lower clerical officers were compulsorily retired in either 1922 or 1923.
