A medical man with a first-class training, placed in the

there is such a wealth of clinical material, that he has all
that he can do to keep from being swamped, The only limit­

S^The actual financial-arrangements made for.students
in the mission schools is not clearly spelled out in the
missionary reports. It appears, however, that the schooling
was completely free in the early years. (See James D. Bel-
grave letter of 22 December 1929, India Office library of
Records, London: R/15/2/1/52 p. l). In later years the
schools started charged tuition fees.to help defray op­
erating costs and make the institutions self-supporting.-•
In 1975, for example, tuition at the Bahrain School was
BD7.50 per month"(about $25)'. Mrs. Rose Nykerk,"Minutes
