CARNEGIE TRUST FOR THE UNIVERSITIES OF SCOTLAND.

Assistance in the payment of Class Fees in the Universities and Extra-Mural Colleges of Scotland.

The Executive Committee wish it to be clearly understood that the funds at their disposal for Assistance in payment of Class Fees are strictly limited. The Expenditure for 1919-1920 alone exceeded the Income by no less than £8538; a considerable reduction in the aggregate amount of Grants has therefore become necessary. The Committee desire to state that they have been unable to meet the full needs of the poorer student in payments of Class Fees, because, in their opinion, many students apply who do not require assistance from the Trust. Particular attention is therefore directed to the following Declarations, which must now be signed by all applicants and also by parents or guardians.

1. THE PURPOSE OF MR CARNEGIE'S BENEFACTION.

The purpose of Mr Carnegie's benefaction is explained by the following extract from his letter to the Chairman of the Trust:

MY DEAR LORD ELGIN,

LONDON, 7th June 1901.

As your Lordship is aware, my desire throughout has been that no capable student should be debarred from attending the University on account of the payment of Fees. I believe that the conditions of application ensure a sufficient standard of merit, and I hope that the honest pride for which my countrymen are distinguished will prevent claims from those who do not require assistance, and that the invidious task of inquiring into the circumstances of each candidate need not be imposed upon the Trustees. But, to further mark my personal belief and hope in this matter, I have made provision in the Trust Deed that the Trustees may receive funds from others to be administered along with the funds placed by me. I consider this a valuable clause, believing, from my own experience with young men, that some students in after life may value the privilege of repaying advances received from the Trustees, although these are free gifts. I hope the Trustees will gladly welcome such repayments, if offered, as this will enable such students as prefer to do so to consider the payments made

on their account merely as advances which they resolve to repay if ever in a position to do so, and that this will protect and foster the spirit of manly independence so dear to the Scot.-Very truly yours, ANDREW CARNEGIE.

2. DECLARATION BY APPLICANTS.

I have read attentively the foregoing extract from Mr Carnegie's letter to the Chairman of the Trust, and I declare my circumstances to be such that without assistance from the Trust I am unable to pay my Class Fees.

3. DECLARATION BY PARENTS OR GUARDIANS.

I have read attentively the foregoing extract from Mr Carnegie's letter to the Chairman of the Trust, and I declare my circumstances to be such that without assistance from the Trust I am unable to pay the applicant's Class Fees.

Those who desire to make application for assistance in the payment of their Class Fees, should apply for a form, stating University and Faculty to be attended, at the commencement of the University Session.

ST ANDREWS PROVINCIAL COMMITTEE FOR THE TRAINING OF TEACHERS.

In close connection with the University there has been established a Training Centre for teachers for Primary, Intermediate, and Secondary Schools. The Training Centre is under the local management of the St Andrews Provincial Committee for the Training of Teachers. There are vacancies for a considerable number of students (men and women) at the beginning of the academical year 1922-23. Information may be obtained from the DIRECTOR OF STUDIES (John Davidson, Esq., M.A., D.Phil.), Training College, Park Place, Dundee.

The conditions under which Students are admitted will be found in a publication entitled 'Regulations for the Preliminary

Education, Training, and Certification of Teachers for various grades of Schools,' published by H.M. Stationery Office (Scottish Branch), 23 Forth Street, Edinburgh. The Provincial Committee's Prospectus gives additional and detailed information on this subject. All intending candidates should procure these prints and lodge their applications with the Director of Studies as soon as possible.

Post-Graduate Courses of Professional Training, and Courses for students attending University Classes concurrently are given both at St Andrews and Dundee. These lead to recognition by the Scottish Education Department.

Courses of Professional Training for Teachers of the Higher Subjects of instruction in Intermediate and Secondary Schools (e.g., Classics, English, Modern Languages, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography), as well as for Teachers of Special Subjects (Music, Art, Physical Education, Manual Training, &c.), have also been established. The Director of Studies will supply all necessary information.

Intending students should apply to the Executive Officer of the Education Authority of their district for any financial assistance they may require towards meeting their fees and expenses at the Training Centre.
