iv. education and mental culture.
State Training: Colleges. At the present time there are 15 State training
colleges for elementary school teachers, notably 9 for men and 6 for women.
Besides this there are two equally qualified private training colleges for women.
In order to give the future teachers actual practice in school work, the
Training College is connected with a "practising school" (övningsskola), comprising an
infant school section, an "elementary school" section, a higher section, and, if
possible, also a "continuation school". The scholars belonging to the practising
school are boys as well a girls.

The teaching staff of a Training College consists of a rektor and assistant
teachers (adjunkt), the number that is fixed to each training college. Moreover
instructors are appointed in drawing, copybook writing, music, gardening,
gymnastics with games and sport, also practice in the use of arms, and sloyd for male
pupils, for female pupils housework containing sloyd for women and household
economy. There must also be the requisite number of teachers for the
practising school. In a Training College for Women at least one of the adjunkts
must be a woman. The teachers of gymnastics with games and sport, of sloyd
and household work in these colleges are likewise women, and women are
preferred for instruction in drawing and music. Women are likewise appointed to
teach in the practising school. In regard to qualifications, salaries, and pensions
the teachers at the Training Colleges are substantially on the same footing as
the teachers in the secondary schools.
Admission. To obtain admission to the Training College, according to the
låte regulative of the 3 july 1914, one must have attained the age of 16 and
have passed an examination in the prescribed subjects. In certain subjects is a
complete elementary school course sufficient, in other subjects is more required.
