and  other  denominations  followed  this,
example.  Voluntary  subscriptions  were
raised,  and  grants  were  made  by  the
National  Society  (q.v.)  and  the  British
and  Foreign  School  Society  (q.v.)  to-
meet  the  grants  from  the  Committee  of
Council.  The  result  of  this  movement
has  been  that  in  1 887  there  were  in  England
forty-four  (boarding)  Training  Colleges,
eighteen  for  male  and  twenty-six  for  female
students,  of  which  thirty  are  in  connection,
with  the  Church  of  England,  six  with  the
British  and  Foreign  School  Society,  two
are  Wesleyan,  three  Roman  Catholic,  and
three  undenominational,  and  they  contain
in  all  3,272  students.  In  Scotland  there
were  eleven  Training  Colleges,  four  for  male
and  seven  for  female  students,  of  which
five  are  in  connection  with  the  Established
Church  of  Scotland,  five  with  the  Free
Church  in  Scotland,  and  are  day  or  non-
boarding  colleges,  and  one  in  connection
with  the  Episcopal  Church  in  Scotland,
which  is  a  boarding  college.  These  col-
leges contain  in  all  8,525  students.  The
English  colleges  have  been  erected  at  a.
cost  of  nearly  400,000^.,  of  which  280,OOOZ.
