2* Ytfe have now struck some rather awkward snags. In the
first place the men whom Vallance was going to get to run the
Final Stage School and the Teachers T Training School, who are
Lebanese, are very reluctant to come here. They were pre
viously employed by the Iraq Education Department and we
believe that in common with all Syrian teachers in Iraq
they are now being dismissed. If so they may still come
on here. Vallance is being sent up to Baghdad again to try
and get in touch with them and give them a week or ten days
in which to make up their minds, and if they decline he will
then go to Palestine and if necessary to Egypt to try and find
teachers of the class required. It is a pity that Bahrain has
to look so far afield but it is of course inevitable at pre
sent and the three months t vacation which has now begun is by
no means too long a period in which to search for and engage
these teachers.
3• In regard to the Technical School, the difficulties
are even greater. It is barely worth while undertaking a
fundamental re-organisation of the Technical School, expanding
it and equipping it and employing additional instructors unless
we can get hold of an absolutely first class Principal.
