Section II.

Grants to Training Colleges.

85. Annual grants are made to practising schools (Article 83 b) on the same conditions as to other public elementary schools.

86. Grants are placed to the credit of each college of 100 l. for every master, and of 70 l. for every mistress who, having been trained in such college during two years,—
( a.) completes the prescribed period of probation (Article 51), and becomes qualified to receive a certificate as a teacher in a public elementary school, or in a training college;
( b.) is reported by the proper department in each case to have completed a like period of good service as an elementary teacher in the Army or Royal Navy, or (within Great Britain) in Poor Law Schools, Certified Industrial Schools, or Certified Reformatories.
87. Teachers who have been trained for one year only may obtain certificates after probation (Article 51), or may be reported by the proper department, upon the same terms as others; and grants, of half the amounts specified in Article 86, may be placed to the credit of the colleges in which they were trained, provided—
( a.) they completed their training before 1st January, 1864; or
( b.) are teachers of infants, having—
1. received a complete and special course of training for that service in their colleges, which must have been previously recognised by the Department as providing such a course; and—
2. undergone their probation in infant schools.

88. (Lapsed Article.)

89. The annual grant to each college is paid out of the sums placed to its credit (Articles 86, 87), and must not exceed—
( a.) 75 per cent of the expenditure of the college for the year, certified in such manner as the Department may require.
( b.) 50 l. for each male, and 35 l. for each female, Queen's scholar (Article 96), in residence for continuous training throughout the year for which it is being paid.
90. The annual grant to each college is paid as follows:—
( a.) An instalment of 12 l, (males), or 8 l. (females) is paid on 1st March, 1st June, and 1st September, in respect of every Queen's scholar (Article 96) in residence for continuous training throughout the year.
( b.) Part of the instalment of the 1st of September may be suspended, if payment of the full amount then due would cause the limit under Article 89 (a) to be exceeded.
( c.) The balance is adjusted as soon as the college accounts for the year have been closed, audited, and approved by the Department.
