occupation. They are in Kristiania, Bergen and Trondhjem. The
school in Trondhjem is divided into 4 sections, viz. engineering,
architecture, machinery and chemistry. The school in Kristiania
has only the last 3 of these divisions, and the school in Bergen
only the last 2. The school-course in Kristiania aud Trondhjem is
4 years, in Bergen 3. To obtain admission to any of the schools,
the applicant must have passed the middelskole examination,
which is generally done at the age of 15. In the school-year
1898—99, the number of pupils in these schools was respectively
196, 83 and 153, 432 in all, and the number of teachers respectively
23, 12 and 21, 56 in all. The schools are municipal, but are under
the supervision of the Ecclesiastical and Educational Department.
The municipalities provide the premises and school-plant, and
furnish (after subtraction of the school fees — 100 kr. per annum
per head —) ⅓ of the sum required to meet the expenses, the
state furnishing the remaining ⅔. For 1898—99, the expenses at
the three schools were respectively about kr. 85,000, kr. 40,000
and kr. 79,000, plus the cost of the premises and plant, about
13,500 kr. for all schools.
In the present school-year, 1899—1900, there are 14 technical
night schools. The object of these schools is to give the technical
information and proficiency most necessary for handicrafts and
other similar industries. For admission to the school, it is required
that the applicant shall have completed his 14th year, and can
read and write and understand addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division of whole numbers and fractions. The course is 3 years.
In most of the schools, the school-year lasts 8 months, with 2 hours’
instruction on each of the first 5 working-days in the week. In
the school-year 1897—98, there where 13 technical night schools,
with a total of 2443 pupils and 239 teachers. The school fees
amount to from 2 to 5 kr. a year. The arrangement with regard
to the supervision and the division of the expenses between the
state and the municipality is the same as for the technical schools.
In 1897—98, the expenses of the technical night schools amounted
to about 111,000 kr.
In Kristiania, there is also a technical elementary day school
with the same object as the technical night schools. The course
is 6 months, with 6 hours’ daily instruction, and a 2 months’
supplementary course. In 1898—99, the school had 46 pupils
and 6 teachers. The expenses amounted to about 18,000 kr.
