(TNSA: BRP: Vol.957, Pro.14.8.1823, pp.6949-55 Nos.52 & 53)(A) 1. I have the honor to submit a statement showing the
number of schools and colleges in this Collectorate, to which I
have annexed an Account of the individuals who study Theology,
Astronomy, etc., under private tutors.
(B) 2. With respect to the only college entered in the
statement now sent, I beg to transmit Translation of a
Memorandum received from the Zamorin Rajah, which contains
the best information I could collect respecting it.
- The school masters receive monthly from each scholar
from one quarter to four rupees, according to their respective
means, independent of some remuneration when a scholar
leaves the school. The private teacher who gives lessons in
Theology, Law, etc., does not receive any monthly or annual
allowance but a present or compensation when the pupils leave
him according to the circumstances and means of each.
