The total value of the exchanges is about £4 per head of the population, amounting in 1890 to over £2,250,000. Inland traffic is facilitated by carriage-roads with a total length of 2,700 miles in 1890, but in the same year there were only 36 miles of railways. The telegraph and postal services are also in a backward state, though education, now gratuitous and obligatory, is making considerable progress. In 1889 the schools were attended by Qver 40,000 scholars, or one-eighteenth of the whole population.
