The Ceremony of the YWCA Vocational Institute

• The Vocational Institute attached to the Young Women's Christian Association held a ceremony (on the eighth of June) in the hall of the Ahliah College for Girls, during which diplomas were distributed to nearly fifty graduates in various vocations — drawing, handicrafts, and commerce among them.

Speeches were given at the ceremony by Mr. Hanna Ghalib and Miss Irene Tecarden; Miss Edma Bayoud, directress of the Association, also delivered an address on behalf of the director of the Ministry of Social Affairs.

After the ceremony there was an exhibition of the various works, which, if they prove anything, prove the wakeful vigilance devoted to nourishing this institute, unique in the variety of its specialties and the novelty of its subjects.
