That the central warehouse is responsible for supplying the warehouses of the Liwa Education Directorates and the associated schools ⟦line⟧
Directly with textbooks by the Diwan and has nothing to do with private schools. Private schools
Must visit the Education Directorates they are affiliated with to purchase the prescribed textbooks from their warehouses, just like
Official schools, and there is nothing to prevent supplying any private school with the books it needs
In exchange for their prices if they are available <del>⟦illegible⟧</del>. It seems that the difficulty in supplying arises from the fact that
Private school administrations do not organize unified requests for their students, but rather leave them to visit the warehouse ⟦line⟧
Individually and at different times to purchase books, which disrupts the work of these warehouses and prevents their supply ⟦line⟧

The Council of Education decided in its fourth session held on 14 / 2 / 1953 to reduce the hours of Principles of Science
in the first intermediate grade and make them five hours instead of six, and add the canceled hour to the Arithmetic lesson
to become five instead of four due to the breadth of the Arithmetic curriculum, provided that this decision is applied starting from
the beginning of the school year 53 / 954. We hope that you will inform the secondary and intermediate schools affiliated with you. We also
hope that the additional hours previously sent to you will be calculated on this basis as well.
