At that time the cost of the boys' education was very low

in #life6 years ago

The school had the moneylenders. Starting from one month to matriculation (all finals), two tails in the class. One rupee (from Khudiram Babu's Central College) to college money from five rupees (in Scottish Church College). University of M. The salary of this class was eight rupees. The examination fee was 15 to 25 rupees. In my first year, my total education was about fourteen paisa-monthly one month's salary for one year, twelve rupees for one year, two letters of two letters, one penny two penny, one slate three paisa and one scalte-pencil one penny.

Textbooks were not changed year after year. Once buying arithmetic, algebra and geometry books, two or four men would read it.

The cost of the postal service was very low. Postcards cost one paisa, envelope money, registration cost, and send a letter to Bill 10 paisa. Post-office performance was strange. It was in this morning that a letter was sent to Kolkata's Barrackpore address at eight in the morning, and it would have been distributed at three o'clock in the morning, and from there it was sent to five in the morning and it would be delivered in Calcutta by 8 o'clock in the morning.

And today I give a sample. A letter was posted on Lenina Sarani on February 2 this year in my name. Despite the correct address of sixteen people, I found the letter on April 10th.
