of the country and the increase of paper money during tlj m?ddf of the
year resulted m a scarcity of silver and small change This caused great
hardship and inconvenience m this Province. It is said that silver rials
were purchased secretly by well-to-do merchants at 10 per cent above the
face value The situation improved towards the end of the year when
supplies of small copper coins were received from Tehran by the Bank-b
4. Church Missionary Society, (a) General.—The Reverend H E J
Biggs handed over his duties as Chaplain to Reverend R. Ilif! in November
and left for the United Kingdom.
An Iranian Evangelist in the employment of Church Missionarv
Society was arrested for preaching at a Special Service held in the CMS*
Church on the Iranian New Year’s day (22nd March). The Evangelist
wast fined Rials 50 and warned not to preach ‘Propaganda’ contrary to
Islam again. To avoid further trouble, the C. M. S. sent him to Isfahan.
(b) Boys’ School {Dabiristan-i-Jam). —During the year under review,
the School has made considerable progress. Over 100 boys attended regu
larly throughout the year, an increase of over 65 per cent. The Middle
School course can now be completed, as Class XII was started during the
year.
His Excellency the Minister of Education inspected the school early in
the year and congratulated the Principal and staff on the high standard of
work shown. He promised to help with free teachers and by the end of the
year the Educational authorities were supplying teachers for 24 periods a
week.
A School camp was held as usual during the summer holidays and over
30 masters and boys spent a pleasant fortnight in the hills.
Games and sports of various kinds still figure largely in the life of the
school and are a considerable help in the building up of character and
manliness
Mr. F. T. B. Snow,, who was here for 4 years, has been transferred to
the Stuart Memorial College at Isfahan and the Revered M. T. Lord arrived
from Ireland to take his place.
1935 may be summed up as a satisfactory year in every way.
(c) Girls’ School. —The school started the year with only 31 pupils.
This decrease was due to the fact that it was the first year that the school
had been entirely of the Middle Grade, the two higher primary classes
having been closed. The smallness of these numbers made the re-opening
of the school in September 1935 a very anxious time, as it was the first
occasion on which the school had to depend on pupils drawn from the free
Government schools. It is to the credit of the staff that the numbers have
steadily increased, and there are now 45 regular scholars and several casuals.
This is the first definite increase in numbers since the closing of the
Primary School in 1932. The number would have been greater had not
several parents withdrawn their girls in November 1935 on account of the
order that girls wore to attend the school unveiled. The Headmistress
believes that the order for the unveiling of women will prove a stimulus to
higher education of girls.
The 45 regular scholars compare favourably with the 20 girls at the Free
Government Middle School.
As was mentioned in the 1933 report, one of the difficulties of the G. y'p-
Girls’ School in the past has been the inabilitv to get tfie school o cia y
registered by the Iranian Government. Miss Woodroffe took a degree in
England last vear and has now been recognised as fit to be head of an>
Higher Grade School in Iran. The local education authorities hold that
after this, the granting of the school recognition will be only a matter of
form.
