Dear Gastrell,
27th September 1933 , 1 do not anpear to have replied
to this owing to the fact that we discussed it after
the letter and I gathered that it was not then an
opportune moment for instituting any of the suggestions
I made.
2. I agreed that it would be as well to drop sug
gestions U) and (,4) but 1 continue to think that it
would be advisable that all schools should be subject to
inspection by the department of education, as is the custom
in other countries. The department would require a pro
gramme of work and a list of books which are used in the
schools to be submitted to it and the Inspector of
education would have the right to attend schools occasionally
and listen to the lessons being taught.
3. The wearing of Pehlavi hats would be discouraged
by the imposition of the heavy imuort duty on all such
hats, whether new or old, brought into the country, and
no permission would be given to their manufacture locally.
Yours sincerely,
Captain E.H.Gastrell, I.A.,
Political Agent,
Bahrain.
