At first Chinamen were employed, but they have been dispensed with, and the entire work is now done by hill people under English superintendence. The hill people of Central and Southern India, the Kols, the Santhals, the Bheels, and others, as is well known, widely differ in race, language, customs, and religion, from the Hindus and Mussulmans of the plains.

Livingstone, for instance, expressed this idea decidedly of all the African tribes with which he became acquainted; and Jellinghaus gives the same evidence in regard to the Kols in South Asia.
From Taljheri and Pokhuria, near that place, to Parisnath, Ranchi, and Orissa, thousands of Santals and Kols have since been gathered into the kingdom.

Instruction in primary subjects is given in Hindi to the KOLS, SANTALS, and MUNDAS, aboriginal tribes of the province. Classes for girls only have been organized in near-by villages.
