document, gives a full picture of the development of

Bahrain during the year, Most space is devoted to .
public health, education, municipalities, police‘and
public security, public wrks, and finance.

drawn, in the section on Female Statistics, to the
growing need for increased accommodation for women
patients.

interesting comments. Referring to the increased
number of schools in the villages, it remarks that
