On Hie whole ihc year has been satisfactory, the school is slowly but surely
making a name for itself as a Middle School and is regaining the ground lost,
when in 1932, the Primary Department was closed.
(c) Girls 9 School.—Since the last report several changes have taken place
in the school, the most outstanding being that it is now only a Middle school.
This has, of course, meant a decrease in numbers, and only between 35 and 40
girls were attending regularly at the end of the year.
Miss 1. M. Darlington, who has been in charge since October 1933, is trying
to establish an eleventh class, so that the girls may be able to get the recognised
Government Diploma before leaving the school. Several expect to take the re
quired examination in June. Last year, instead of allowing only those who were
up to standard, to enter the sixth class Certificate Examination, all the girls
who wished were permitted to take it, and of the seventeen who entered twelve
passed. All the four who took the Ninth Class Examination were successful,
while of their number came second in all Kerman.
In the school programme the Government syllabus is followed as far as
possible. Time is also given during school hours for recreation, cooking and
sewing.
Prayers are held each morning before ^school, and Ethics Classes are given
regularly each week. Recently a Scripture Union Class has again been started.
Tliis is held every Thursday during lunch hour, and is quite optional.
It will be remembered that Miss J. F. Woodroffe, the Head Mistress, left
for England in September 1933, in order to complete her B.A. course, without
which, according to the new regulations of the Persian Ministry of Education,
she could not run her school. Miss Woodroffe is expected to return to Kerman
in a short time, when, it is hoped, the school will receive full recognition from
the Government.
(J) Medical. —Dr. G. E. Dodson, who proceeded on furlough in September,
was succeeded by Dr. I. W. Pigott from Isfahan.
Dr. (Miss) E. G. Baillie was transferred to Yezd in March and Dr. (Miss)
Chans Pigott returned from furlough in May to take charge of the Women’s,
Hospital.
Miss E. J. Pet ley and Miss M. James discharged the duties of Matron in the
Men’s and Women’s Hospitals respectively.
Oddy, who was attached to the Medical Mission as Electrician,
left on furlough in November and Mr. A. Robertson, formerly of the Indo-
Euiopean telegraph Department, rendered valuable services as pathologist
and accountant throughout the year.
