- The Tamil, Taloogoo and Hindwy schools are the most
extensive; to these the scholars are sent generally about the age
of 5 and in the course of five or six years are generally found
sufficiently forward to commence by assisting in the preparation
or copying of the accounts, according to their different walks in
life, sometimes as volunteers in the public Cutcherries or in the
situations with Curnums, Shroffs, Merchants or others, whence
they graduate to situations in the public service or their he-
reditary occupations.
