However, the necessity of the situation imposed upon Sir William Garstin the need to not implement the aforementioned employment policy in most cases. Rather, he was compelled to employ Europeans and non-Europeans to serve the general Egyptian populace, especially in increasing and distributing irrigation water. He wrote, and I agree with him, that "the increase in English employees has increased the service and effectiveness in proportion to their increase." Nevertheless, Sir William Garstin reconsidered this matter, and it became a subject that does not need further elaboration here. I will only say that it involves increasing the number of employees in senior administrative positions in the near future and a greater increase in the coming days.

(C) Ministry of Justice I will say little about this matter, as almost all employees are Egyptian, with only 36 Europeans in 1900. The number of European employees in this ministry has increased by only 5 in the last ten years, so perhaps the number of Europeans is less than it should be.

(D) Ministry of Public Education The number of employees in the Ministry of Public Education was 723 in 1896, comprising 631 Egyptians and 92 Europeans. By 1906, their number reached 954, including 173 Egyptians and 16 Europeans. This means that the number of Egyptians increased by 163 and Europeans by 68 in the last ten years. Let us examine these figures in detail.

Firstly, all kuttab employees, numbering 95, are Egyptian, except for the headmistress of the Boulac School for Training Kuttab Teachers.

Secondly, the number of employees for "pens and ink" in primary schools was 375 Egyptians and 10 Europeans in 1896. By January 1, 1906, it became 442 Egyptians and no Europeans among them. Thus, the assistance of loyal Europeans in these schools has ceased. As for girls' schools, the number of employees was 9 Egyptians and 8 Europeans in 1896, and it became 23 Egyptians and 16 Europeans in 1906. (1) (2) These are the number of teachers for kuttabs directly under government supervision. Among them are teachers from kuttab teacher training schools and kuttab teachers employed in offices, but this pertains to kuttabs receiving government aid. (2) There were also 16 others, teachers from secondary schools, who spent some of their time teaching in primary schools.
