In 1816 there were said to be 46 schools and 380 pupils; but in 1818, Ward estimated 31 schools only, but as many as 747 students; and in 1829 H. H. Wilson found about 500 to 600 pupils. The numbers for more recent years are as follows: In 1864, 12 \*tols\* and 150 pupils; in 1881, 20 \*tols\* and 100 pupils; in 1901, 40 \*tols\* and 274 pupils; in 1908, 30 \*tols\* and 250 pupils. Of the 31 schools which Ward found, 17 studied logic, 11 studied law, and the other 3 poetry, astronomy, and grammar respectively. - [Previous: c4.182](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.keay-1918.c4.182) - [Next: c4.184](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.keay-1918.c4.184) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.keay-1918.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.keay-1918.c4.183](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.keay-1918.c4.183) · Pramāṇa
