Honorable President of the Charitable Sewing Association for Girls, Respected
Baghdad
After greetings,
Based on your request to audit the association's accounts, we have completed the audit of the mentioned accounts
for the period from 10/5/45 to 10/25/46. Below we present the results we obtained
during the audit.
Section One
Revenues
We have confirmed in the audit that all amounts recorded in all receipts have
truly been entered into the specialized records, and we have also matched the rental records against
the receipts and found them to be in accordance with the proper procedures.
Section Two
Expenses
We have confirmed that the amounts spent were supported by receipts, and that the expenses of the
men's suit tailoring and sewing branch and all purchases belonging to the association are supported by receipts as well.
Section Three
1 - Goods and Open Account Ledgers
We approved of the idea of settling the accounts and its method, and we have also supervised
the carrying over of accounts in the goods ledger and the balance to the open accounts ledger.
This method will facilitate the separation of the open account from the goods account, each
individually - it is the ideal way through which the amount of profit resulting from
these projects can be precisely determined.
2 - Thread Account
It was carried out according to our previous suggestion, which remained on hand and slowed down the latter, as the management
is convinced of the honesty of the female students working in this branch.

The Honorable President of the Administrative Board
Greetings,
You will find enclosed my annual report on the association and its
financial and administrative status, and I request a meeting be held to deliberate on: -
1- The report
2- Holding a general session.
3- The report of the secretary's ⟦delivery⟧ before the general body at its annual meeting
And please accept our highest respect

Part One
(A). Management and its Organization
This year, I was able to define the responsibilities of those working in
the administration. Mr. Ezekiel Jacob, head of the Suit Cutting and Sewing Division, has been entrusted with monitoring
what happens in the school, and all disciplinary responsibility has been placed on him when the director is not in
the school or when the female students leave after the end of the working hours.
Mr. Ibrahim Daoud handles correspondence, typing letters, visiting official departments, and overseeing
the accounts. Mr. Youssef Hayim Hakham Yaqoub handles collection and the distribution of gifts.
Mr. Anwar Musfi is responsible for teaching. I have witnessed total cooperation from them, and they all
assist the director with whatever she requires from them from time to time without hesitation and with a sincere desire to work, which
prompts me, as I write this report, to record my thanks and appreciation to all of them.
The issue that occupies my mind a lot is how to promote the girls in industry so that their mission rivals
the rest of the institutions. I have been busy reviewing this matter with His Excellency the President, Mr. Israel
Hay, the Director, and Mr. Ezekiel in his technical capacity, but I - and I hope you do not consider me pessimistic -
have not obtained the result I desire. I believe this problem will be solved after a larger
review and conducting further experiments. In agreement with His Excellency the President, we have tried several experiments
to make the level of our girls equal to the level of other seamstresses. We have prepared for them the required
fabrics to cut and sew, and to train them in sewing. Sometimes we cannot put such a
ledger ⟦perhaps⟧ ⟦large⟧ ⟦considering⟧ ⟦the exaggeration⟧ in spending so as not to tarnish the reputation of the association, so we sell it to
people who know where to sell such a product, and we might gain some benefit from this
method. I will inform the committee of every development that occurs in the girls' education.
(B). Summary
I am reassured that we are performing a sacred humanitarian duty, as approximately one hundred
miserable girls work to earn a living outside of school hours, and their affiliation with the association
gives them great experience. The correct upbringing they are raised on is the best work we do,
and the fight against illiteracy among them has accelerated their training for work. We welcome here with full satisfaction any
suggestion that comes to us to improve the condition of the association after the Almighty has granted us success in making its financial resources good.

Part Two
The School and its Educational System
(A) Sewing
1- The school opens in the morning from eight-thirty until twelve o'clock and from
two o'clock in the afternoon until four-thirty. Except on Sundays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays, when attendance is in the morning only.
2- Students from the preparatory classes do not attend in the afternoon (Preparatory A, B, and C
and Second Embroidery).
3- The school's sewing work is usually monitored by the Headmistress after she distributes her instructions
to the teachers, and from them to the students. Sewing takes place under the supervision of each of the
responsible teachers in their classes, and they also give their instructions to the students regarding
sewing and embroidery matters.
4- The Directorate of Education of the Baghdad District held an exhibition of handicrafts and manual work
in the Home Arts School building, and the aforementioned Directorate instructed us to send some
of our association's products. Indeed, we sent some products, including a map of Iraq embroidered
on silk, the emblem of the Iraqi State embroidered on a piece of silk, an evening gown,
and various types of embroidery and sewing. We believe they earned the satisfaction of the visitors.
5- We opened an exhibition for products made by the students within the association,
containing a fair amount of exhibits. Through this means, income is often generated for the association.
We have put the students who manage the threads in charge of it, and a
special register has been kept for it, along with documents signed by the responsible exhibition curator upon receipt, just as
she issues a receipt for all sales. We have set fixed prices for these exhibits,
and their prices may be reduced by order of the Headmistress when reasons call for it. All
association products are kept in the exhibition in special cabinets and displayed to customers, and every
displayed piece has a tag indicating the piece number and its fixed price.
(B) Discipline
(A) - A precise and regular inspection of cleanliness is conducted every morning by the teachers
during assembly.
(B) - We have begun to employ strictness regarding students arriving late to school, and
absenteeism and lateness have now almost ceased.
(C) - Students are prohibited from wearing jewelry and ornaments inside the school; exceptional
leaves are granted only to engaged students.
Page 111
(B) - Study
1- Introductory lessons are given to the young female students from the preparatory classes (Preparatory
A, B, and C and the second embroidery class) daily during the first two hours of the morning.
2- We have allocated Sunday and Wednesday afternoons for teaching, where working hours start from
two-thirty until four o'clock every week. The outstanding students
from all classes study arithmetic, reading, writing, home management, health lessons, geography,
general information, and according to the curriculum set by us under the guidance of the Secretary, Mr.
Mir Zakaria.
3- Students from the first embroidery class study in the afternoon daily from one o'clock
until two o'clock except for Sundays and Wednesdays.
Note
The students who studied last year have reached a state that is not bad,
and they have begun following the administration's instructions on the bulletin board. We have also set for each week
a word written in clear handwriting on a paper and hung on the bulletin board called 'The Word of the Week,' and
most of them read 'The Girl of Mesopotamia' (Fatat al-Rafidain) magazine well. The distributed copies reached an average of
(75) copies for each issue.
4- The Library
I had suggested in my previous report the establishment of a library. Indeed, we have carried out this
work, and we now have a library containing (50) books, including children's stories, moral and educational books,
home management, child care methods, sewing, and others. The number of subscribers has reached
(30) female students, each paying (10) fils monthly. We are indeed serious about increasing the number
of books that suit the mentality and level of knowledge of the students.
5- Lectures
We have allocated some time to deliver educational and disciplinary lectures
to the outstanding students. We have indeed carried out this work, and several lectures were delivered in the
intermediate school building. Both Mr. Shalom Darwish and Mr. Daoud Salman delivered some
disciplinary lectures to the students, which had a great impact on their souls.
Since the matter of lectures belongs primarily to Mr. Mir Zakaria, the Secretary,
his honor is serious about establishing the foundations for lectures in a way that is not interrupted throughout the year. The future
lectures will be of a higher level than those delivered last winter.
