IV. EDUCATION AND MENTAL CULTURE IN SWEDEN.
All students, except such as are unable to do so, or those transferred from
other colleges, pay a matriculation fee of 10 kronor. They also pay a small term
fee, from which, however, poor or promising boys may be exempted. The entire
yearly amount paid to the school by each student, unless exempted, is 30 kronor.
This income is used for the purchase of light, fuel, and school material, for
prizes, and for the building reserve-fund. The great social import of the school
fees being so insignificant has been spoken of already in the preceding (p. 144).
Members of Gymnastic Clubs at the Colleges in Stockholm and Uppsala.
Every diocese is required to keep a special building-fund as well as a
prize-and poor-fund, for the needs of the public colleges located within its borders; the
income derived annually from these funds is distributed among the schools in the
diocese, in proportion to the number of students, etc. Their income is constituted
by contributions from the State and the Communities, donations, etc. They are
administered by the Chapters. — Some colleges, moreover, possess considerable
donation-funds. During the period 1876/1900, the amount of such fands,
devoted to scholarships, prizes, or students’ assistance, increased by the sum of
1,122,962 kronor.
The State Expenditure for the public Colleges of Sweden amounted in
1900 to 3,824,628 kronor, or 0-75 kronor per inhabitant, and 222*69 kronor per
student. With the contributions of the communities (for schoolhouses, aid to the
teachers for their rent, etc.) and of the special school-funds, the total expenditure
for public colleges probably amounts to about 48/* million kronor (à l-i o shilling
or 0-26 8 dollar).
