Thanks to generous donations, the High School is able every year to let a
considerable number of its examined students complete their education by a stay abroad.
Journeys about Sweden, intended to give an insight into the economic life of
the country, are undertaken annually under the guidance of the teaching staff; a
certain proportion of the students take advantage of these opportunities.
The High School contains a collection of business records, a well equipped
geographical institution, and a technical library of some 11 500 vols.
From the first, the High School has had a much larger attendance than
was anticipated. According to the Calendar, there were 180 students during
the Autumn Term of 1914. The majority of these had passed the
"Student’"-Examination, but entrance can also be obtained by certificates
from the higher commercial institutes and technical schools, while at the
option of the Teachers’ Council, other applicants with satisfactory
qualifications may be admitted to the courses. Some of the lectures are also
attended by external students. The High School also arranges for popular
lectures on scientific subjects, intended for the general public, which deal
with various themes of immediate interest in the sphere of economics.
A scheme is being prepared at Gothenburg for academic courses similar
to the above; sufficient donations having been received, the courses will
begin in 1915.
Commercial Legislation.
The regulations in force concerning the carrying on of trade are to be found
in the Royal Ordinance of June 18, 1864. Anyone and everyone has
unconditional liberty of carrying round for sale necessaries of life, agricultural and farm
produce, and the productions of Swedish domestic industry. Anyone who has
announced his intention of carrying on any manufacturing or handicraft trade,
has likewise a right himself to carry round for sale, or have carried round by
his wife or by any of his children living at home, the articles of his own
manufacture or production, it being, however, necessary for the person so
engaged to have with him or her a certificate as to his or her identity as well as
a certificate, issued by the proper authority, concerning the character of the
trade pursued by the person for whose benefit the goods are offered for sale,
furthermore there is full liberty with regard to trade at fairs.
In other respects a Swedish man or woman only enjoys the right to carry
on trade, to export to and to import from foreign parts, and to transport goods
from one place to another within the country, subject to the conditions and
restrictions mentioned below.
The right to carry on wholesale trade, or to sell goods in a shop or from
other place of storage, accrues to anyone provided he or she be of good repute,
be of age and in unrestricted possession of his or her property and have
besides lodged an application in writing for the right to do so at the offices of the
Governor of the Län (in rural districts) or the Magistracy (in towns).
Certificates with regard to the conditions named having been complied with must
accompany the application. If an application is made for a firm in accordance
with the regulations prescribed, such application is considered to fulfil the
requirements also of the Ordinance respecting the Liberty of Trade. The stipulation
with regard to being of age and in unrestricted possession of one’s property is
dispensed with in the following cases: a married woman living with her husband,
