in a great measure to them that, in spite of the numerous
difficulties of all kinds that had to be overcome, the school has made
continual progress. The act of 1827 was replaced by an act of
i860, which enjoined the establishment of a permanent school in
every school circle, fixed the minimum of hours for instruction,
introduced several civil subjects, improved the condition and
training of the teachers, and arranged the management and
superintendence of the school in a better way.

After the acts of 1848 and 1860, progress was more rapid,
especially after the state (from the beginning of the seventies)
had begun more and more to give grants to the primary schools.
The acts of 1848 and 1860 were in their turn annulled in 1889,
by the acts now in force for primary schools in the country and
in the towns, whereby the primary schools of our country have
been considerably improved.

The development of the school has always been in a decidedly

a national school; from a church school to a school in which a
general education is given, which ought to be common to all
members of society. The local authorities and the parents have
acquired a decided influence upon the arrangement of the school,
and an organic connection has been brought about between the
primary school and secondary education.

        

A. THE ARRANGEMENT AND AIM OF THE PRIMARY SCHOOL.



The Norwegian primary school has a seven years course, adapted
for children between 7 and 14 years of age. It is free to all children
in the kingdom. There is no obligation to attend the public primary
school; but the obligation of education exists, in that every child
between 8 and 15 in the country, and between 7 and 15 in the
towns, that is not in receipt of instruction calculated to bring it
up to the standard of the primary school instruction within its
15th year, is referred to the primary school, and the attendance
of the child there can be enforced by a fine imposed upon the
parents or guardians.

The primary school in each municipality is governed by the
School Board (skolestyret), which consists of a priest, the chairman
of the Municipal Council (or one of the aldermen), one of the teachers
chosen by the body of teachers, and as many other members
