-3-

Rupees Three lacs were collected by public subscrip-
ti on. They considered that the masters should not

have been dismissed and asked for their recall."J
The following day Khan Bahadur Abdul Aziz
Kozaibi, Khan Bahadur Abdur Rehman Zayani, Yousuf

Fakhroo and Abdur Rehman bin Abdul Wahab Ziani called
on me and Shaikh Abdulla and asked for the recall
of the masters. Yousuf Fakhroo became very excited

and expressed very violent opinion as to the bad
management of the whole affair. Shaikh Abdulla
replied that the Muharrak master could not possibly

be recalled but that the question of the Manama master
was somewhat different as it now appeared that he
was a party to the strike not the instigator. The

deputation expressed hopes that Shaikh Abdulla and
myself would change our opinions after thinking over
the matter.
Personally My personal opinion is that Shaikh

Abdulla, with the assistance of the Inspector of
Schools is quite capable of managing education in
Bahrain without being constantly hampered by a com­

mittee who are themselves, with one exception
entirely uneducated and of whom several are, in my
opinion, influenced more by personal interests than
by any genuine desire to raise the standard of

education in their country.
