The state further supports a mechanical school in Porsgrund,
a school for wood and metal industries in Bergen, a technical
school for mechanics at Horten, intended especially for future pupils
in the naval mechanical workshop, and the mechanics’ corps, and
some engineering schools.
In February of 1900, a government bill was brought before
the Storthing for the erection of a technical high school.
The Royal Art and Industrial School in Kristiania was founded
in 1818. According to the arrangements of 1888 now in force,
the object of the school is to train artists and mechanics and
teachers in the special subjects of the school. At the school,
which is managed by a director, and has 13 second masters,
5 under, and a few assistant masters, instruction is given in
freehand drawing, construction, ornament, modelling, architectural
drawing, special drawing for handicrafts, and decorative painting.
Lectures are also given in perspective, statics, arithmetic and
geometry. No one is admitted as a pupil before having completed
his 14th year. The day school (8 months’ course) was attended,
in 1898—99, by 284 pupils, distributed among 8 classes. The
evening school (also 8 months’ course), in the same year was
attended by 871 pupils, distributed among 17 classes, 8 of which
were parallel. Ninety-seven of the day-school pupils, and 54 of
the evening school, were women. The expenses of the school in
1898—99 were 81,253 kr., of which 53,285 br. were furnished by
the state, 20,000 by the Kristiania municipality, and the rest by
school fees.
In 1899, there were 14 public drawing schools or night
schools outside Kristiania. They are chiefly intended for
mechanics apprentices. The government grant to these schools is
contingent upon the providing of premises and fittings by the
municipalities, and the contribution by them of an amount equal
to that contributed by the state. The number of pupils is from
40 to 90 in each school.
Industries and Handicrafts Schools. In the present
school-year, 1899—1900, there are 9 female industrial schools supported
by government, 5 municipal and 4 private. The most important
of these is the Female Industrial school in Kristiania, where plain
sewing, dressmaking (some tailoring), weaving and fine needlework
are taught. The course lasts 1 year, although there are also
courses of shorter duration. In the school-year 1898—99, there
