grants, and 15.7 % by interest on investments and in other ways.
In the same year, the total expenses of the higher municipal
schools amounted to kr. 758,202, 53.4 % of this being covered by
the school fees, 14.0 % by government grants, 24.0 % by
municipal grants, and 8.6 % by interest on investments and in other
ways.

In addition to the secondary schools, there are some municipal
and private boys’ and girls’ schools without the examination right,
in which instruction is given that goes beyond the aim of the
primary school. These schools have a freer arrangement than the
middelskoler, and have, in great part, for their object the higher
education of girls. In 1896, there were 65 of these schools, with
306 classes. The number of pupils was 3707, of whom 2751
were girls. Two hundred and twenty-four governesses and 107
masters had appointments in the schools.

MUSEUMS, &c.

Norway has only one University, the Royal Frederik University
in Kristiania. It was founded in 1811, and began its operations
in 1813, with 11 professors, 3 lecturers and 18 students. In 1856,
it had 22 professors, 11 lecturers and 650 students, and in 1900,
it has 63 professors, 8 «docents», 10 fellows, and between 13 and
14 hundred students.

The teachers of the University are divided among 5 faculties,
theology, with at the present time 5 professors; law, with 7
professors and 1 «docent»; medicine, with 14 professors and 1 «docent»;
history, philology and philosophy with 21 professors and 4 «docents»;
mathematics and natural sciences, with 16 professors and 2
«docents». Each faculty elects a president for 2 years, the dean
(dekanus). The 5 deans form the academic council (det akademiske
kollegium) which constitutes the University’s board of management,
and is immediately under the Ecclesiastical and Educational
Department.

The professors are appointed by the king. Their salary is
4500 kr. per annum, with 3 additions of 500 kr. after 5, 10 and
15 years’ service. The 20 oldest professors moreover have an
addition of 600 kr. The «docents» are also appointed by the king. Their
