of progress and there is keen competition for vacancies. Students irom this
school were very successful in the Government examinations. Physical
training, games and Boy Scouts are also features of the school programme.
Miss J. F. Woodroffe was in charge of the Girl’s School throughout the
year. This school also is very popular and many applications for admission
had to be refused for want of room. The school is at present badly
and although a sum of £3,000 was given by the Bishop of Worcester m 1937
with which to construct new premises, all efforts have so far faded to extract
from the Iranian authorities the requisite permission to build, liiere is a
Girl Guide Company attached to this school.
(c) Welfare Centre .—Good work is being done among the poorer classes,
especially in maternity cases, and is much appreciated.
Id) St. Andrews Church .—The new Chaplain, the Revd. A. T. Bowden,
arrived on the 31st May. There has been no interference in any of the
services, but the local detective maintains his vigil at Iranian services.
IV. FOREIGN INTERESTS.
Representation ,—There are no other foreign representatives in this
district.
Trade .—Direct trade with other foreign countries is practically confined
to the export of carpets and pistachio nuts to America, and dried fruits and
goat hair to Germany. Nearly all foreign imports are marketed through
the monopoly companies, and mainly consist of cotton piece goods (Japan
and Russia), machinery and bicycles (Germany), motor vehicles (U. S. A.),
and sugar (Russia, Belgium and Holland).
Carpets are still the principal exports and several New York firms have
buying agents in Kerman. Export of carpets during 1938 was up to the
average of the past three years, but a large percentage were from stocks
on hand and few orders were being placed on the looms at the close of the
year. It is estimated that 50 per cent, of the looms are idle.
American cars and lorries have a firm hold on the provincial markets.
V. LOCAL GOVERNMENT.
Governor .—Aqai Ismail Merat relinquished the post of Governor of Ker.
man in July on appointment as acting Minister of Public Instruction.
Aqai Ardalan, the head of the Kerman municipality, officiated as
Governor for the remainder of the year.
No Ustandar for the 8th (Kerman) Ustan had been appointed by the end
of the year and the Governor continued direct contact with the Central
Government.
