The following table gives the approximate cost of College education for elementary teachers-in-training. If it be compared with the expenses that have to be met by other students from private sources (_vide_ p. 7, or, in greater detail, pp. 82 _et seq_.), it will be seen that the elementary teacher begins her career with a substantial subsidy from the State. _Elementary Teachers_. The following is a typical table of annual cost at a University College which provides for two-year and for three-year students. The training is obtainable at slightly lower cost to students in some other colleges. Grants by Board of Fees payable by students Education to College. to College. Tuition. Maintenance. Tuition. Maintenance. Women students £13 £20 £12 From £12 to in residence £22 according to accommodation. (It is to be noted that the Government maintenance grant for men students in residence is £40, which can be made practically to cover expenses.) Women students £13 £20 £12 ... living at home (paid to student) Men students receive _£25 _maintenance grant. Apparently the Government policy, as evidenced by its maintenance grants, is to discourage women students from entering residential colleges. Yet it is a well-known fact that the wear and tear involved in living at home is far greater than at college--especially for women--and the educational advantages correspondingly fewer than those resulting from residence. County Councils frequently provide "free places" at local colleges, together, in some cases, with supplementary bursaries for maintenance. Non-resident students--_e.g._, in London--seldom have any out-of-pocket expenses for their actual education. Nor must it be forgotten that education up to college age is free to junior county scholars and to bursars, who also receive small grants towards maintenance. _College Fees for other than Elementary Teachers-in-Training_[2] Oxford and Cambridge Colleges From £90 to £105 a year for a minimum of 3 years (of 24 weeks). Other Residential Universities and Colleges From £52 to £90 or £110 a year for a minimum of 3 years (of 30 to 35 weeks). Non-residential Colleges From £20 to £55 a year for a minimum of 3 years. (The cost of maintenance must be reckoned at about £40 a year, as a minimum.)
