I estimated the Rajshahi average at 11/2, which is in excess of all these averages subsequently ascertained, from which it may be inferred that the number of children receiving domestic instruction in that district was probably over-estimated.

Second.—The limited extent of domestic instruction will appear from a comparison of the number of families, Hindu and Musalman, in which it is, with the number in which it is not, given—

		Hindu families.			Musalman families.
		Total number.	Giving domestic instruction.	Not giving domestic instruction.	Total number.	Giving domestic instruction.	Not giving domestic instruction.

Third.—A comparison of the number of children receiving domestic instruction with the number capable from age of receiving will furnish still more precise data—

		Total number of children between 14 and five years of age, i.e., capable of receiving domestic instruction.	Number of children receiving domestic instruction.	Number of children not receiving domestic instruction.
