ABSTRACT
The next few years of the history of the schools are filled with the consequences of the Revised Code. Some were clear, others matters of debate. The financial saving was considerable. In 1862 the Education Grant was £840,000, by 1864 it had fallen by £135,000 to £705,000. Kay-Shuttleworth had forecast a drop of almost exactly that amount. This saving to the Exchequer brought hardship to the schools. Managers found themselves compelled to make economies; and, as by far the largest expense was for salaries, it was the teachers and pupil teachers who suffered now that the protection of the augmentation grant and salary scales had been withdrawn
