THE MARSHALL TRUST.
This endowment is constituted under the scheme of

ment of books and stationery up to Standard VI.,
evening class scholarships, industrial training, grants
to scholars learning a trade and attending evening
classes, higher education bursaries, and university
bursaries, and in certain circumstances for the material
assistance of children educated under the scheme. The
children selected must reside in the county of the city
of Glasgow or the counties of Lanark or Stirling,
and are required to attend a public or state-aided
school within said counties, and must be "orphans
or fatherless, or children whose parents or relations,
not being in receipt of parochial relief, are unable to
clothe, educate, and maintain them, and ought not,
in the opinion of the governors, to be required to
apply to the pai'ochial board for such aid, provided
always that no grants shall be given where the total
income of the parents exceeds £70 per annum."
