(b) Boys’ School .—In August, orders were received from the Persian
Government to close all foreign primary schools with effect lioni the 2.led
September. As the result of negotiations with Tehran by the C. M. S. School
authorities, thev were allowed in Kerman to keep open their two top primary
classes, with a view to coaching the boys for Middle School which they were
allowed to keep. The result has been that there are now in the Boys’ School
only 38 boys compared with 152 prior to the new regulations. In spite of these
restrictions, ihe year has been a satisfactory one and the standard of work has
been maintained.' At the end of summer six boys left and entered the Stuart
Memorial College, Isfahan, for higher education.
Games and atheltic sports figure largely in the life of the School and at the
beginning of the year a Beading room and Games room was opened for the use
of the senior boys.
(c) Girls’ School .—As the result of the new regulations, the number of pupils
in the Girls’ School, which originally was a Primary one, dropped from 223 to
45 and at the end of the year stood at 50. The status of the Girls’ School has
not yet officially been raised to that of a Middle one as the Head Mistress, Miss
J. F. Woodroffe, is not yet qualified to run a Middle School. She was, however
for the time being, been permitted to keep the two top classes of the primary
class in addition to two lower classes for a Middle SchooL
During the year, eight girls took the Government Primary Examination (6th
class) while five teachers, who were given half-time training, were successful in
