is hoped that, as from September, 1945. it will be
possible to appoint a supervisor for Persian Gi: If students studying
in Cairo at schools or universities. This appointment will pre
sumably be dependent on the provision of a hostel by the Bahrain
and/or Kuwait Governments, with suitable accommodation for a
resident English Supervisor or harden. The number of students
involved would be approximately 80.
Provision has been made in the estimates for tie appoint
ment of such official entirely at the Council's expense. It is
possible, however, that the 3ost would be partially subsidised by
tiie Government concerned, in which case the allocations would
require adjustment.
The usual allowances.for this post have been provided
for in Form EC1.
