3 Church Missionary Society and its work, {a) The Educational
work was in the hands of the Rev. A. G. Ozanne (boys’ school) and Miss
Woodroffe and Miss MacDonongh (girls’ school) throughout the year. Mr.
Ozanne reports a decline in the number of boys—possibly owing to the in
creased efficiency of the local Persian schools; but the number of girls
taught continues to increase steadily. The curriculum for the girls is being
gradually expanded and made more practical—and pupil teachers are now
being instructed in proper Educational methods.
{b) Dr. G. E. Dodson and Dr. Mary Price were in charge of the medi
cal side of the Mission—which as usual did excellent work. The number
of in-patients has risen to 621 from 581 in 1925, 565 in 1924 and 447 in
1923: while 1,755 patients were attended to in tlfe course of Dr. Dodson’s
and Dr. Price’s summer tour. The new men’s Hospital was opened during
the year.
4. British and British-protected Firms. —The following are the British
and British-protected firms working in Kerman : —
The Oriental Carpet Manufacturers, Ltd., Kerman.
Messrs. H. S. Tavshanjian.
Messrs. A. and M. Karagheusian American Corporation for the
Overseas.
Messrs. B. Kazanjian and Co.
Messrs. Costikyan and Co.
Messrs. Wetli Co., Ltd.
Messrs. Bardwil Brothers.
Messrs. Atiyeh Brothers.
In the course of the year the North-West India Trading Co., and Messrs.
S. Telfeyan closed down.
A new firm calling itself the ‘^Standard Carpet Company” has begun
to do business in Kerman.
The total value of carpets and rugs exported during the years 1925
and 1926 were as follows (approximately): —
1925.
1926.
8,948,000
385,000
Kerman carpets and rugs
Tribal rugs
Kran- 8,327,000
„ 422,000
The Carpet industry this year, unlike last year, has had no political
difficulties to contend with. But the frade is having a none too easy time
of it. The whole question will be dealt with in detail in the Annual Trade
Report.
5. Political Interests of the Consulate. —It has been a quiet and un
eventful year—unlike 1924 and 1925. The complete detacl^ment of H.
M.’s Consulate from local affairs and politics, such as the Elections, is now
an accepted fact. But I think it may be said with truth that the prestige
of the Consulate has not suffered in the slightest degree as a result of that.
The queer and incalculable behaviour of the Soviet Consul who occasionally
bursts into local politics, merely accentuates our position which if not so
intriguing as that of the Soviet Consulate is at any rate more consistent,
dignified and intelligible.
6. Communications and Security. —Except for a short period in the
summer when traffic on the Kerman-Duzdab road’Avas suspended owing to
the trouble in the Sarhad; and for some local disturbance in Narmashir in
the autumn when a robbery took place on the Bam-Kerman road, there was
general security for travellers and merchandize throughout the year.
The failure of the Amnieh to pay the road guards on the desert track
from Bam to Sipi has to be recorded. The men are constantly in arrears and
discontented owing to the efforts of the Amnieh department to enforce some
kind of discipline on them.
