of time being given to trade practice as the course proceeds. Provision is being made in the school
for shorter and more intensive training courses which may be demanded at any time, especially in
connection with possible wartime emergencies.
The school equipment is still very inadequate and there is a serious shortage of materials in
Bahrain, especially metals. A considerable quantity of European and American tools were purchased
at the beginning of the session. These have temporarily eased the difficulties of working, particularly
in the woodwork shop. Specifications have been prepared for machines, tools and materials required
for continuing the work of the school and it is expected that most of these will be obtained from India
in the near future.
With the increase in the hours of class instruction the syllabuses of the courses have been
entirely revised. All students now receive 3 lessons per week in elementary mathematics, 5 in
English, 4 in drawing and 3 in trade technology. The teaching is shared between four of the five
Syrian instructors, an English teacher of Bahrain nationality, and the Principal of the school.
Arabic is the general medium of instruction in the school, but the students are becoming increasingly
familiar with English. Their English should be of great advantage to them later in their employment
or business, and specially useful to those who may proceed to more advanced technical studies.
The woodwork department of the school has produced new carpentry benches and tool racks
for the shop as well as complete sets of chairs and tables for the class-rooms. In addition the produc
tion of furniture and other articles for Government Departments and private customers has been
continued. The work is of good standard and has provided useful practice for the students. Up to
now it has been difficult to establish a steady flow of suitable work for the engineering shop. The
students in this section have therefore been engaged almost entirely on training exercises consisting
of precision practice pieces, small tool making and small pieces of forging and sheet metalwork. The
shortage of metal has greatly restricted the range of these exercises. Engine refitting and general
mechanical repair work is greatly needed in order to give the students practical experience in fitting
and machinists' work.
A tribute is due to the teaching staff of the school for having adapted themselves so readily to
new ideas and new tasks imposed on them during the difficult period of re-organisation.
THE MINORS' DEPARTMENT.
The work done by this department continued to increase during the year and many applications
were accepted by it from people who wished their property to be administered on their behalf by the
department. Fifteen new estates were taken over including one which amounted to over Rs. 21,000.
The total sum dealt with by the department was approximately Rs. 1 ,25,000. Seventeen immoveable
properties were purchased consisting of houses and shops in Manamah on behalf of minors and orphans.
Among the properties which were built by the department was a block of shops with flats above them
on Shaikh Isa road. Over Rs. 31,000 was advanced to members of the public in the form of loans
against mortgages on house property or gold ornaments.
There was no change in the constitution of the department which consists of a committee
