advanced scholars. Besides this, in many school districts "continuation
courses" are arranged for scholars who have passed through the actual
school.
The said "continuation courses" are arranged either in the form of
"continuation schools" (fortsättningsskolor), with a short term of instruction (at least 180
hours a year) for the benefit of scholars who have passed through the complete
course of instruction at the actual school, and have already entered into some
trade or occupation; or else they constitute a higher division of the
elementary school, with a longer term of instruction, extending over from two to three
years. A higher division of this kind is arranged in many towns.
Another form of school started in 1858 and afterwards much improved is the
Higher Elementary School, the object of which is to give children who have
passed through the elementary school proper an opportunity for improving their
general education and obtaining practical training. The demands made on the
capacity of the teachers in these schools are much more rigorous than those
made on an ordinary elementary school teacher. Most of the Higher Elementary
Schools are in the country, often serving several school districts.
A Royal Decree of the 29th October 1909 called into existence yet another
form of higher elementary school, designated communal intermediate school
(kommunal mellanskola). The aim of this school is to impart of a general
education of the same standard as that of the realskola. These intermediate schools
have four classes above the elementary school proper and are under the
superintendence of the Royal Board of Secondary Schools.
The People’s High School (folkhögskola) is an educational establishment
of a peculiar kind, intended for young men and women. These schools do not
really come under the head of elementary education, and they are not subject to
Tug of War in the Play-ground. Gothenburg Elementary Schools.
