The employment of European professors in the early years and their replacement by Egyptian professors.

When will qualified national professors be trained?

The university's budget is dependent on its own resources for its expenses. The university administration shall conform to the opinion of the Egyptian government.

There is no objection to any of these fundamental principles that are intended to be followed, and there is no doubt in my mind that the government will vigorously support this great project with all its might and provide its resources.

Agricultural and Industrial Education.

Lord Cromer, in his last report, explained the reasons that led the Egyptian government to establish the Department of Agriculture, Education, and Industry. This department consists of two sections. The first section is responsible for the administration of existing industrial schools and workshops and their development. The second section is responsible for building new industrial schools that will be established by the people throughout the country and organizing them.

When this department began its work, there were in the country nine industrial schools and workshops that the government had established or supervised and inspected, including the Boulak and Assiut industrial workshops, whose administration was transferred from the Ministry of Public Works to the Ministry of Education at the beginning of the year, the Mansoura Industrial School, the School of Applied Arts and Crafts in Boulak, the Agricultural School, and the School of Engineering in Giza. And Jima from government schools and the Mohamed Ali Industrial School in Alexandria, the Coptic Industrial School in Nagada, and the Abu Zabal Industrial School. These three were placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Education during the year.

The second section of this department's work involves providing advice and assistance to those who are studying in schools established by the government and by the people in the major agricultural and industrial centers. In the past year, the Mohamed Ali Industrial School in Alexandria was completed, and it now has 107 students. The government has ceded the land necessary for this school and donated £1000 to purchase equipment and tools. The inspection of this school is entrusted to the Ministry of Education, and the government has given it £1000 in Egyptian pounds as aid. The Fayoum school is almost complete, and preparations are underway to equip it with tools and instruments and to provide funding for it. It will have a capacity for seventy-five students and will teach various crafts.
