Games of all kinds still figure largely in the life of the school. A new
feature of interest this year was the production of the play in English of
Shakespeare's "Merchant of Venice".
(ii) Girls' School. —Miss J. F. Woodroffe remained in charge of the
school throughout the year under review. The number of girl students
steadily increased. ;With the discarding of the veil, the school company of
the Girl Guides has been revived.
(c) Medical. —Dr. G. E. Dodson, L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S., D.T.M., re
mained in charge of the hospital throughout the year.
During the year under report the general health of Kerman has been
good and no marked epidemics of disease occurred.
The work of medical mission continued satisfactorily during the year
with but one change in the European staff. There has been a marked in
crease in the work all round. The Welfare work was in abeyance in the
town after Miss llobinson went on furlough in April, and until Miss
Stratton's return in October.. The welfare statistics therefore show a
noticeable decline.
{d) The Right Reverend Bishop W. J. Thompson, Bishop in Iran,
visited Kerman twice during the year.
6. The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, Limited. —Aqayi Jalil Sohai re
mained in charge throughout the year. Ihe business of the Company at
Kerman continued to increase in the absence of any foreign competition.
Another reason for the increase in question was that the supplies for the
Eastern Iranian markets were imported at Kerman via Bandar Abbas,
and then forwarded to Zahidan for distribution.
Mr. E. Tevoit Ker, accompanied by Mr. G. N. T. Eergusson, who suc
ceeded him as the Company's Manager for the Central Iranian Branch of
the Company at Isfahan, inspected the Company's depots at Kerman, Bam
and Sir]an during April. During the year, Mr. Cox succeeded Mr. lergus-
son and was himself succeeded by Mr. Mitchell. Messrs. Cox and Mitchell
paid a similar visit in November.
A party of Anglo-Iranian Company's geologists from Bandar Abbas
passed through Kerman on their way to Isfahan, on 22nd November.
7. Car-pet Trade, The following is a summary of the Kerman
carpet and tribal rug trade, with approximate values, exported to United

dent carpet dealers, most of whom are Europeans and represent the Euro-
pean and American firms abroad, that they may continue in their private
individual trade of this important industry until 20th March l.)37, after
which all transactions would have to be conducted through the monopolised
company. This state of affairs gave a stimulus to the transitory reviva of
this industry so much so, that prices rose 100 per cent, towards the last
quarter of the year.
