FRANK INY SCHOOL Intermediate & Primary New Alwiyah - Baghdad TELEPHONE No. 91693 Frank Iny School Intermediate and Primary New Alwiyah - Baghdad Telephone: 91693 No.: Number: 507 / ⟦...⟧ Date: Date: 1 / 1 / 1957 His Excellency the Dean of the Higher Teachers' Training College, Respected Baghdad Greetings, Reference to your letter No. 6100 dated 11/19/1956 The books that I borrowed on 2/18/1947, totaling 28 copies of Algebra and Arithmetic books, I had distributed at the time to the students of the Matriculation course which the Ministry of Education opened then for scholarship students, and I was lecturing in it by assignment from the Ministry of Education. The students of the course were in dire need of using them at that time. I had thought that the students had returned them to the Higher Teachers' Training College warehouse directly at the time after they finished using them, but it appears that they did not do so. Since the books in question were used by the students and for their benefit and not for my own personal benefit, and as it appears the students of the aforementioned course actually kept them. Please approach the esteemed Ministry of Education to consider the prices of these books as a final expense as costs for the students' studies, and I thank you.

Teachers Association - Baghdad Al-Askari Street Telephone: 6111 Number: 75 Date: 29 / 11 / 1956 Honorable members of the zealous teaching family in Iraq You all know that our elder sister Egypt has been subjected to a sinful aggression in which she lost a significant number of her righteous sons who were martyred in defense of the sacred Arab homeland. Many houses and public facilities were destroyed, and the struggling (Port Said) was subjected to heavy losses as a result of this treacherous aggression, so a large number of our Egyptian brothers in Port Said and other Egyptian cities became in need of the help of their brothers, a help that alleviates some of their pain and makes them feel that they have brothers in the greater Arab homeland who share with them in prosperity and adversity. The Central Teachers Association has contributed an appropriate amount from its private fund, and it therefore calls upon the members of the teaching family throughout Iraq to perform some of their duty towards our brothers in dear Egypt and to extend their hands by providing financial aid as much as possible and sending what they donate to the High Committee at the Arab Bank in Baghdad.

Heads of Teachers Association branches in all provinces We are sending you copies of this appeal by mail to be distributed to the schools in your province, and we also hope that you will transfer what your associations donate directly to the High Committee at the Arab Bank and notify us of that.
