teaching and welfare of the boys. This is a very worthy
object which I hope that the Chiefs will appreciate.
Mr. Ingrains will explain to you the character and

that the Sultans and Chiefs who have come to this
Conference will attend the ceremony and will see the
College for themselves. I trust that they will then see
the advantages that it will provide, and that they will

young men from certain parts of the Protectorate have \
already received elementary medical instruction from
Doctor Petrie at Sheikh Othman, and I hope that many
more will do the sane. Kis Highness the Sultan of
Lahej set an example to other Chiefs by the establish

by the establishment of dispensaries at Shuqra, Dhala’

and Museimlr, in which the Fadhli Sultan, the Amir of
Dhala’ and the Haushabi Sultan take a praiseworthy

multiplied, for there are many diseases from which
people suffer in the Protectorate, such as fevers, eye
complaints and ulcers, which could often be cured If
they were dealt with quickly in their own countries by
men with some medical knowledge. If this were done it
would not be necessary for so many people to travel all
the way to the Civil Hospital at Aden or to the Keith \
Falconer Mission Hospital at Sheikh Othraan for treatment>
and much suffering and loss might be prevented. I hope
