Subject / Oratory Competition
To / Administrations of all Intermediate and Preparatory Schools, boys and girls, official and private
In view of the benefits of holding oratory competitions in encouraging the literary movement and school
activity, and to pave the way for our students' potential to grow and launch in this field,
the intention has been directed to holding oratory competitions between intermediate school students (boys and girls),
as indicated by the Directorate of General Technical Affairs. Therefore, we urge school administrations
to include this type of school activity with great care and attention and to note
the following points: -
1 - Each school must mandatorily participate with one student (male or female) from the intermediate classes and similarly
from the preparatory classes.
2 - The school administration, in cooperation with the Arabic language teacher, shall determine the method of selecting the best
orator, whether through an oratory ceremony at the school or without it, and shall send the article selected
for the competition in two copies to the Artistic Activity Observation at our Directorate before 11 / 5 / 63 to conduct a screening
of the speeches that come to us from the rest of the schools.
3 - We emphasize the necessity of the speech prepared for the competition being written by the contestant themselves, provided that
its subject is about the blessed 14th of Ramadan Revolution or on national, social, and educational guidance.
4 - The method of selecting the first and second winners will be for each educational stage separately (boys' intermediate -
girls' intermediate - boys' preparatory - girls' preparatory). The winners from the schools of
Education / Rusafa will participate with their colleagues from the schools of the Directorate of Education / Karkh in a closing
ceremony held for this purpose, the date of which will be determined later.
5 - We will inform you of the dates for holding meetings for this purpose.

⟦line⟧
In line with our plan to revive and strengthen the scouting movement in the schools affiliated with our directorate, and given the start of
the academic year and to prepare and organize well-trained scouting teams, and to provide an opportunity for physical education teachers
to benefit from the topics and curricula of the scouting training camps, it has been decided to hold periodic scouting camps for scouts and rovers
of primary, intermediate, vocational, and secondary schools for boys in batches at the Permanent Central Scouting Camp in
Abu Ghraib, starting from October 27, 1963. School administrations must observe the instructions written
below with all accuracy and attention -
1- The primary school administration nominates five scouts and pays a sum of two dinars from the sports and scouting activity share
against a receipt to the Sports and Scouting Activity Division in this directorate for the team's food and miscellaneous expenses
for a full night as soon as possible, and the physical education teacher or ⟦whoever represents him⟧ from the teachers shall accompany the school team.
2- The secondary, intermediate, or vocational school administration nominates (8) rovers, including the platoon leader
and patrol leaders, and sends the names with a sum of three dinars for the team's food, miscellaneous expenses, and camp participation fee for the school
in full to the Sports and Scouting Activity Division in this directorate against a receipt, provided that the amount is calculated from
the school's sports and scouting activity.
3- The school administration shall make the necessary arrangements regarding the transportation of students and their attendance at the times that will be set
in the meetings preceding the camp at the camp area in Abu Ghraib, as any delay may lead to disrupting
the progress of the camp curriculum.
4- The deadline for accepting participation fees is the morning of 24 / 10 / 963. In support of the scouting movement, that
reformist movement aimed at preparing the good citizen in a sound manner that enables serving his nation and country with
sincere service, we hope that no school will fail to participate in these camps that push the student toward goodness and continuous
work, and grant him strength and accustom him to self-reliance.
5- The camp administration encourages hobbies, manual skills, and various arts; therefore, please
prepare all possible activities to add to the daily curriculum and evening parties in the camp. Multiple prizes have been allocated
for this purpose.
6- Attendance at meetings or the camp shall be in full scouting uniform.
7- The scout or rover shall equip himself with the following items:-
Blankets number / 2, bedsheet, pillow, metal plate number / 2, spoon, fork, rope 2 meters long,
pajamas, towel, canteen, flashlight, sports shorts, rubber shoes, notebook and pen,
camera or musical instrument (if available).
8- The team shall equip itself with the following items:-
Iraqi flag, scouting flag, one water bucket, rugs number / 2.
9- The nominated student must possess the following qualities:-
The nominee must be physically fit, regular in school attendance, of good conduct,
and no school penalties have been issued against him.
10- Physical education teachers or their representatives from primary schools in all areas shall attend
at three o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday 20 / 10 / 963 in the hall of the Western Intermediate School
(without scouts to receive instructions regarding the camp).

On the occasion of the start of the school year and the opening of school doors to receive our children and quench their thirst from the fountain of knowledge overflowing with science
and education and sound national guidance, we hope that our brothers and sisters, the teachers, will be active for this task and
dedicate their energies to true, sincere, and fruitful service, and be serious from the beginning of the school year in holding their students accountable
for their mistakes to correct them, and try to place them in a mold of seriousness, activity, and drive for productive work, and stay away from everything that dissipates
efforts and wastes time in vain, and to set from the beginning a complete program for the school year and stay away from every unproductive act
in which there is a waste of the efforts and time of the male and female students. We are all confident that everyone will respond to work in the line of the revolution and the realization of our society
