2. V/a d^RG'tllat thetimo to'think seriously of
higher education in Bahrein will-not-Q?mo until the
•state has uet up a really good cecor.doa-y' school.
The main trouble seems to lie in tho-poor.—
salaries offered to teachers and it is to bo-hoped
tint Hickinootham vi 11 be able to nors.ua do Bul'grave
to bc'iiiore generous. I notice that .Vokclin paid
an abortive visit to Palestine last year in search
of teacher a'.-''v,At the moment v;e arc trying to find
some roal'ly good Indian teachers of English for
Meshed, Kerman .etc.. and I wonder if tho Bahrain
Qovoxiuriont could not bo persuaded bo offer a salary
good’enough to attract a well Qualified Indian to
teach English to the higher classes in, the
secondar y s'cho pi and.allow•him.to • bake jr i va te
pupil 3 cut" of •‘school hours to-: supplement hin salary?
The British-Council-are'aircpy doing a good- deal
for Bahrain' in subsidising .vakelin and an ap.ooal
to them for further assistance would hardly be
justified oven if it wore.likely to be successful.
