5. Church Missionary Society.~{a) Educational—Boys' /S'c/iooL—During the
year 1929 the^ staff and 1 administration of this school have remained the same.
Boys are admitted at the age of 7 or 8 and are taught in Persian up to the stand
ard of the Persian Government Primary certificate and the end of the sixth
class. 'In the 7th and 8th classes the teaching is largely in English to equip boys
for work in European business firms such as the Imperial Bank of Persia and
the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.
Further co-operation with the Education authorities, and the success of
candidates from the School in the Grovernment examinations of the past summer
together with a fuller appreciation among Persians of the amenities of the new
School building and football ground, have resulted in a satisfactory increase in
numbers, which have doubled during the twelve months, and attendance of sixty
having increased to one of an hundred and twenty. There is moreover a lame
waiting list.
Special attention is paid to gymnastics and games. The School football
team was never beaten whether in competition with other schools or with teams
irom the town.
Girls' School. —The Girls' School has been moved to more spacious quar
ters. The attendance rose from 144 last year to 204. The staff was not found
sufficient to deal with this number and so it was reduced to 183. Of them 41 are
in the upper school, 91 in the middle lower and 51 in the Kindergarten and Tran
sitory classes.
The company of girl guides has been registered officially at the Girl Guides
Headquarters m London as the 1st Kerman Girl Guides Company At present
20 guides have been enrolled and although debarred from many forms of ser
vice open to other guides, have shown a commendable spirit and have renderpfl
valuable help in the "Women's hospital as well as elsewhere.
{h) Medical. —There have been numerous changes in personnel. At
the end of the year the_ European staff consisted of Doctor Dodson
and one Lady Doctor Miss Pigott, Mr. Iliff, Principal of the Bov'^
School, Mr. Oddie Electrician, Miss Woodroffe and Miss Herdlev at the Girls'
School Miss Stratton for the Welfare Work, Dr. Westlake and Miss Thomas as
evangelists and Miss Petley and Miss James as Nurses.
Dr. E. F. Molony died of typhoid on February 20th. Dr. Dodson was at
home on leave and the Lady Doctor Miss Hodgkinson refused to attend male
patients A difficult situation thus arose to remedy which the appointment of
an Assistant Surgeon from the I. M. D. as Consular Surgeon was proposed but
at the last moment Dr. D. Carr one of the Veterans of the CMS who after
30 years' service had retired to England, volunteered to fill the gap and arrived
m Kerman m June and stayed till Dr. Dodson's return in November.
The value of the medical work has continued to increase and the benefits
conferred are widely and deeply appreciated. The numbers of patients treated
this year and last were as follows ;—
