COLLEGIATE SCHOOLS FOR GIRLS.

develop in various directions, but have, at the same time, suffered from
a lack of guidance and control, and, moreover, often felt the stress of
money difficulties. These disadvantages have not remained unnoticed.
In 1875 the State made them a grant of 30,000 kronor, which grant
afterwards became annual and at various times raised, until now it
amounts to 347,500 kronor. The conditions for enjoying the
advantages of this grant are mainly that a certain number of pupils be
instructed free of cost or at reduced terms, that the school in question
submit to the control of the Ecclesiastical Department, and that the
community or private persons contribute a sum at least equal to the
grant made by the State. This annual grant is not to exceed 3,000
kronor for each school, or for schools instructing in domestic economy
at most 3,500 kronor. At present 103 schools enjoy such grants from
the Statej their combined number of pupils attending the regular
classes being 10,694 (beside perhaps 3,000 in the preparatory classes).
The fees paid are very different, varying from 40 kronor to 150 kronor
in the lowest classes and from 110 to 250 kronor in the highest, all
per annum, the classes preparing for university entrance charging even
more. In view of the virtually free instruction given to boys in the
state collegiate schools, these fees must be considered very high.
