.Vith referGnce to your D.0«No»G/846 dated 30th,
July 1946. The Bahrain Government is willing to accept
Mr. Tomlin for the post of Director of Education.
2. Eis salary £.1600 per annum appears to be high in
comparison to the salaries of other British officials
in Bahrain however the Bahrain Government is prepared
to pay £.900 per annum, and to provide the same quarters
as were occupied by Mr .v /akelin. It is understood that
the^£.900 per annum is consolidated pay and that no
additional allowances or payments will be made over this
amount to the Director.
3. The Bahrain Government has no objection to the
director supervising education in Kuwait and visiting
that place once or twice yearly as has been done in the
past. It is assumed that on these occasions his fares
will not be paid by this Government.
4. Regarding a Headmaster for the secondary school,
Eis Highness thinks it would be better to defer this
appointment until after the arrival of the new Director
of Education but I suggest that the British Council might
be asked to keep this post in view and should any suitable
applicants be forthcoming to let us know about them. If
the British Council v/ould consider contributing a proportion
of the pay for this post the Bahrain Government would appre
ciate its help and interest but if this is net possible the
Bahrain Government would be prepared to pay the whole amount
of the headmaster's salary.
