- 152 -A lawsuit concerning a contract concluded outside Egypt for work outside Egypt, and the defendant does not have a chosen domicile in Egypt, the court decided to dismiss the case with respect to the Egyptian government and its lack of jurisdiction over the lawsuit filed against the government of Sudan.

"25" - Sharia Courts A new court was established in the regions in the latter part of 1910. The number of cases filed in the courts in the past year, 1918, was 6777, compared to 1909.

It is gratifying that the new change in procedures, which invalidates the issuance of a second summons for those who do not respond to the first summons, has not led to an increase in ex parte judgments. The result was the shortening of procedures and saving time without harming the interests of the litigants.

The Chief Justice states that the execution of judgments is proceeding well. The number of marriages concluded in the years 1910-1915 and divorces was 7258. However, since the registration of marriage and divorce is not mandatory according to Islamic Sharia, and in many places there are no authorized registrars, the figures provided do not include all marriages and divorces among Muslims in the country. Eight mosques were opened last year, including 3 in Berber, 2 in Daggala, one in Kassala, one in Kordofan, and one in the Upper Nile Province. ---Chapter Ten On Education "26" - On Education The progress of all branches of education was satisfactory. It is regrettable that they could not secure the necessary funds for the final year of the secondary school curriculum. The need for educated Sudanese in government services is becoming clearer year after year, and this need can only be met by expanding the curriculum of the secondary school by adopting the four-year program.
