hundred were refused admission as there was neither
accommodation nor enough dst&jkax teachers. Demand
for education is growing, especially in the towns,
and the few private schools which exist are also full.
in the Government schools the standard of educa
tion is good and compares favourably with that of schools
in Egypt, Syria and 'Iraq.

Manama, and the old secondary school building was made
part of the hostel.
At the beginning of the term 19 Egyptian teachers,
selected by the British council in Cairo, were added to
the teaching staff.
The twenty Bahrain students studying in Cairo
were brought back to Bahrain because of the political
conditions and because they showed little progress.
^ Three of the best of them were later sent at Government
expense to the American University at Beirut, and some
of the others were also sent there by their parents.
Those who did not continue their education abroad found
posts in Bahrain.
An attempt was made by the British Council to
provide a Director of Education, but nothing came of this
effort and Mr. Ahmed Omran continued to officiate in this
capacity. He visited England under the auspices of the
British council during the summer and was shown as much
as possible of English schools and places of educational
interest.
