family; and particular attention is given to the intercourse between
masters and pupils.

In aid of the county schools, the people’s high schools, and
private schools with a similar object to that of the county schools,
and for studentships for needy pupils at such schools, the state
grants thrice the amount voted to the schools by the county fund.
Direct government grants are also made to a few advanced people’s
high schools. A sum of about 180.000 kr. has been voted for the
budget-year 1900—1901 to the county schools and the people’s
high schools, and for studentships for needy pupils in such schools,
the corresponding amount contributed by the counties being
60,000 kr. The municipalities in which county schools are held,
also provide premises, etc. For the same period, a sum of
32,000 kr. has been voted as a direct government grant (without
presupposed contribution from the county) to advanced people’s high
schools and for studentships for needy pupils at such schools. In
the school-year 1898—99, 45 county and people’s high schools were
being carried on, 9 of them being private. There were 101 masters
and 56 governesses teaching at the schools, and the number of
pupils was 1273 boys and 942 girls.

Of late years, adult men and women, chiefly of the working
classes, have been instructed in the so-called Working-Men’s Colleges
(arbeiderakademier) in the phenomena of nature and of human
and social life, and in the development of human culture and its
results upon thought and commerce. The first working-men’s college
was erected in Kristiania in 1885. Several towns and rural districts
have since then followed its lead. In 1899, 35 working-men’s
colleges were in existence, 10 of them in the country. The
instruction is given in the form of lectures (in the evening), with which
is associated conversation upon the subject in hand. The lecturers
have been scientific men, schoolmasters, military men, doctors, etc.
Admission is generally free. The government grant to the
working-men’s colleges is equal to half what is furnished by the
municipality, or acquired in any other way. On the proposed budget
for 1900—1901, 23,685 kr. is put down as the amount of the
grant to the working-men’s colleges.

In addition to the before-mentioned summer courses at the
University and the Bergen Museum, the Public Libraries may be
mentioned in connection with the schools and working-men’s colleges.
At the present time, the state makes a grant of 20,000 kr. annually
