Now that Bahrain possesses a modern printing-press, the fullosb uso
jliould be made of it by the Education Department in counootion with
Ibe supply of boobs and stationery to tho schools. Ita resources should
be steadily developed until evontually it has becomo thoir solo supplior of
exercise-boobs, paper, ink, etc. and tho printer of all translations made
in Bahrain for school uro. It should also print tho attoudanco-shects,
tbo mark-boobs, tho certificates of education, aud other necessary school
literature; and it might iu timo becomo tho Dopartmont’s agout for tho
supply of all school equipment ordorod. All this should rosult iu much
saving to tho Education Department, and it would in any caso keop
Bahrain money in Bahrain.
1 suggest that your Highness should iuvitc the attention of tho
Education Department to tho many possibilities of tho local printing-press.
