AGRICULTURAL LEGISLATION.

The pupils at these colleges have no share in the farm work. They are at
their own charges for board at the High School, and contribute to the cost of
their instruction to the extent of 100 kronor a year. For pupils who desire to
continne their studies at the High School there is a limited number of
scholarships, entitling to certain advantages. In 1902, the number of pupils at the two
High Schools was 63.
Farriery School at Alnarp.
Among the institutions for the teaching of Agriculture are also to
be reckoned the three Farriery Schools: at Alnarp, in Stockholm (in
connection with the Veterinary Institute there), and in Skara. The one
at Alnarp was opened in 1863, its founder being Dr. 0. Pehrsson-Bendz
(1831/1901), a pioneer in the field of rational farriery, who made his
name widely famous by this institution. The school possesses a building
of its own, magnificent of its kind, which was completed in 1877. Pupils
flock from all parts of the kingdom to this educational institution, both
civil and military farriers among them; the number of pupils down to
1902 was 1,432, divided over 120 courses. Instruction is imparted by
teachers at the Alnarp Agricultural High School and by the School’s
instructing smith. — At the farriery school in Skara, located at the
estate Brogården — the former veterinary institution (see below) —
instruction is afforded in farriery and the care of sick domestic animals
to civil as well as military farriers. The school employs a
superintendent (veterinary) and an instructing smith.
As regards the instruction in Dairy-farming, — an industry that
in the last decades has grown to such an importance for the Swedish
agriculture — this has been treated of in the foregoing, on page 588.
