Education.
the government in combining the two schools was much
resented by the Shias whose attitude was that of the
dog in the manger, for about a year the attendance had
been very small and the school was 3/4 empty but at the
same time the Shias resented the school being used by
Sunnis as well as themselves. It is true that the
Shia community had contributed a small proportion of
the cost of the building but as the school was ouen
equally to Shias and Sunnis there was no logical argu
ment against the Governments action v/hich effected a
large saving in expense. Unfortunately only about
40 Shias are attending the school and the remaining
100 boys are all Sunnis. A small private school has
been opened by a son of one of the leading Shias which
is attended by some of the boys who were previously
educated at the Government school.
Topical play . At the end of the last term, a play
was performed in Arabic before a large audience bv bo Tr s
from the two schools. The play was written by the
President of the Islamieh college in Beyrout but it was
slightly adapted and made very topical. The play dealt
with a dishonest T Wali’ who had charge of the property of
some minors and the villain of the piece, I believe
unintentionally, resembled unmistakably in manner and
appearance a certain leading Muharraq merchant who
recently appealed in Court on a charge of misappropriating
the money of certain minors with which he was entrusted.
The play was very well and intelligently acted and was
altogether a success.
