By arrangement with the District Commissioner the industrial school of chair making and carpentrj7 has been transferred from Tembura to the settlement. Sixty chairs were turned out in one month to fulfil a contract with the Sudan Government Railways and Steamers. The silk-worm industry, still in its infancy, is progressing in spite of set-backs, and the mulberry cultivations have been extended.

Reports emphasise the assistance given by the District Commissioners, and the Tembura report lays special stress on the achievements of El-Sagh. Nesib Effendi Baz in carrying out, in addition to the routine administration of the settle¬ ment, many extensive improvements.
