great number of services. The College (Gymnasiet), which forms a continuation
from the fifth class of the Scientific school, consists of two lines, the Scientific and
the Latin college, and in the last two years quite an extended free choice of subjects
is allowed. In some places, where there is not too great a number of pupils, the
Scientific school may be arranged as a Mixed school (Samskola) for boys and
girls, placed under a special Local Board and employing an equal number of male and
female teachers. The School-year is extended from 36 to 38 weeks. For
supervising the examinations and exercising inspection over the schools, as well as for
taking under consideration the more important school questions, a Chief Board
is to be organized, consisting of one chairman and five other members, and
appointed by the Government for a period of five years at a time. In connection
herewith the appointment of teachers is placed in the bands of the Government,
and the so-called teachers’ trials are done away with. An effective amelioration
of salaries and pensions is proposed; thus the salary of the adjuncts is to be
raised at a maximum of 5,000 kronor and that of the lectors at a maximum of
6,000, in both cases after a service of 20 years. For teachers of singing, drawing,
and gymnastics there are to be new stipulations of salaries.

the following figures, viz.: Agriculture and fishing, 2,756,704 inh.; Industry,
1,484,230; Trade and transport, 544,324; Public service, etc., 351,183; Total:
5,136,441. Hence, the percentages are 53’67. 28 90, 10’60, and 6’83 % respectively.
Consequently, since 1890, Industry has increased a great deal more, and Agriculture
decreased more, than one has supposed.

building of Iron works at Karlsvik, near Luleå, intended for the production of
iron out of Norrbotten ore, — hitherto solely exported as raw material. These
plans are founded on a new method, recently invented by the Swedish Engineer
G. Gröndahl.

new legislation of 1903 concerning Insurance; see p. 1040.

kronor) to a Fund for the insurance of workmen, the balance of which at present
is about 13 million kronor. Regarding the utilization of these means nothing has
as yet been decided.
