Valmiki has some investigation to perform in this regard :-). First of all, to which segment of population was the the Vavraddeancho Ixxt aimed at? Secondly, did the Parochial schools impart only music? or was it in addition to the basics of reading and arithmetic? I ask because I am puzzled. Many musicians of the Goa Symphony Orchestra of 1952 were field workers, who were searched for in the muddy fields of Salcette and Sanguem. They not only could play very effectively, as reported to me by a now-retired octogenerian musician in London, Antonio "Oboe" Noronha, but as far as I could ascertain, they could also read, write and keep "contas".

The latter were mostly from the so called high castes fellas who were educated inthe parochial schools.. Thanks to the Grande Patriarca Portugues das Indias Orientais and his sacerdotal assistants comprising of the highest caste made by the Indian God, the illiterate Goan catholics were more at home with Jezu, Jezu than with A,B,C, and 1,2,3, ____________________________________________________________________________________ Access Yahoo!7 Mail on your mobile.
