iv. education and mental culture.
For the advancement of the primary education and of their own interests the
elementary school teachers have constituted several private unions. The most
important of these is Sveriges Allmänna Folkskollärareförening, which at present
numbers about 13 000 members. Next comes the society called "Folkskolans
Vänner", with about 4 200 members. The leading periodicals devoted to the
interests of the craft are the "Svensk Läraretidning" published at Stockholm,
and the "Folkskolans Vänner" published at Gothenburg.
Dentistry Room at an Elementary School, Stockholm.
The Scholars. All parents and guardians are obliged to send their
children or wards to school. It is the bussiness of the School Board
to see that this is carried into effect. The school age is from 7 to 14.
However, if the parents so desire, children can begin their schooling at
the age of six. Children who have failed to come up to the required
standard are obliged to continue at the school after the regular leaving age.
On the other hand, children who have passed through the prescribed
course more rapidly than usual, are entitled to leave the school before the
regular age. Children who are being taught in other State schools or in
private schools equivalent to the elementary school are exempted from
attending the elementary schools. Moreover, ■ the School Board may
grant permission for children to be taught at home, provided the teaching:
imparted at home is recognized as up to the standard.
The Royal Decree of the 21th November 1913 directs, that for each
school district regulations must be confirmed, as well as particular rules.
