moreover held for the masters and governesses of the primary school,
the so-called continuation courses, lasting 5 or 6 weeks. At these
courses, of which there is one in each diocese, Norwegian, history
and natural science are especially taught. Discussions on school
and education questions are also held at several of the courses.
The number of students at each of these courses is from 50 to
130. Since 1894, summer courses of 12 days have also been held
annually at the University and at the Bergen Museum, especially
adapted for giving instruction to primary school teachers, more
particularly in natural science. These courses have been very
well attended.
Towards travelling scholarships for primary school teachers,
the government votes an annual sum, which of late years has
amounted to 10,000 kr. Several municipalities also give travelling
scholarships.
The average salary of teachers in the country amounted, in
1895, to 778 kr., being rather less for the governesses, and rather
more for the masters. The salaries are regulated as salary and
allowance for keep per school-week, with a rise after so many
years. The weekly salary, allowance for keep, and rises, are
different in the various provinces. In each municipality in the
country, at least one of the masters shall be provided with house,
pasturage for two cows, and a garden. In 1895, 1992 masters
had free house, and 1121 of these land as well. The situation
of parish clerk, or precentor, in the country churches is to be
combined with one of the regular teacherships of the municipality.
In 1895, 910 masters were also parish clerks, with an average
income, as such, of 194 kr. The parish clerk’s salary, and the
benefit of free house-room are not included in the above-mentioned
average salary (778 kr.). The salaries in the towns vary
considerably. The governesses as a rule, receive much less than the
masters. In 1895, the highest salary for regular masters in the
town primary schools, was 4200 kr., and the lowest 800 kr.; and
for governesses, respectively 1550 kr. and 600 kr. Pensions are
granted to retired masters and widows of masters, by the state.
The amount of the pension is fixed in each separate case according
to circumstances. The pension for masters and governesses is
generally fixed at from 200 to 800 kr., and for masters’ widows,
from 100 to 300 kr. A bill for a pensioning law will probably
be brought before the Storthing during the session 1899—1900.
